The fluorescence of CdS QDs was first quenched by hemoglobin and then restored with the increasing concentration of the lysozyme in a certain range. Therefore, a fluorescence assay for the determination of lysozyme was established.

A new high performance fluorescence assay for detection of Ag+ based on CdS quantum dots (QDs) using L-Aspartic acid (L-Asp) as a stabilizer was proposed in this work. The CdS quantum dots conjugation with L-Aspartic acid (L-Asp@CdS QDs) were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal process. The QDs have a fluorescence emission band maximum at 595 nm with a quantum yield of 11%. The obtained CdS QDs exhibit a particle size of 1.63 ± 0.28 nm and look like quantum dot flowers. Basically, the fluorescence intensity of L-Asp@CdS QDs can be enhanced only upon addition of Ag+ and a redshift in the fluorescence spectrum was observed. Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence enhancement of L-Asp@CdS QDs appeared to exhibit a good linear relationship in between 100–7000 nM (R2 = 0.9945) with the Ag+ concentration, with a detection limit of 39 nM. The results indicated that the L-Asp@CdS QDs were well used in detection for Ag+ as fluorescence probe in aqueous solution with high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, the sensing system has been applied in detection Ag+ in real water samples. The recovery test results were 98.6%~113%, and relative standard deviation (n = 5) is less than 3.6%, which was satisfactory.

A simple A green protocol for synthesis of high quality, water-soluble and biocompatible CdS QDs have been developed in aqueous solution with amylum as stabilizing agent. The QDs were characterized by AMF and spectral methods. A fluorescence quenching method was developed for determination of iron (ΙΙΙ) with water soluble CdS quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescence probe. In pH 8.5 boric acid–borax buffer solution, the QDs show a high selective to ferric ion. The common cations, such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ et al, have no effect on interference but copper ion. The fluorescence intensity of the QDs decreased linearly with the iron (QDs ) concentration in the range of 200 μM to 60 nM with a detection limit of 20 nM. It has been applied to determinate of iron in Angelica, Astragalus, Shouwu, ligusticum wallichii and radix rehmanniae recen.

Two highly sensitive and selective methods based on fluorescence (FL) and chemiluminescence (CL) emissions of 8-mercaptoquinoline-capped CdS quantum dots (MCQ-CdS QDs) were described for the determination of copper (II) after it’s preconcentration. High fluorescent CdS QDs, synthesized in an aqueous medium, generated a relatively intense CL emission in the presence of potassium permanganate as an oxidant. Furthermore, low quantities of copper (II) ions showed a remarkable quenching effect on both of the CL and FL emissions of MCQ-CdS QDs. Based on this effect, two selective and simple methods were established for Cu2+, and the detection limits of 0.28 and 0.026 ng mL−1 were obtained for the FL and CL methods, respectively. Also, due to the high propensity of MCQ to Cu2+, good selectivity was obtained and no sensible interfering effects from other metal ions were observed. To more sensitize the developed method, an efficient preconcentration process was designed based on the high-yield ultrasound-assisted temperature-controlled ionic liquid dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (UA-TIL-DLLME) method. Under the optimum conditions, the extracted Cu2+ showed a suppressing effect on the FL and CL emissions of CdS QDs proportional to its initial concentration over the ranges of 0.008–1.4 and 0.001–1.4 ng mL−1, respectively. The limits of detection of 3.7 and 0.37 pg mL−1, respectively, were also achieved. The established methods showed great features and were satisfactorily applied to the monitoring of ultratrace Cu2+ in some different environmental samples.

A new chemiluminescence (CL) method using cadmium sulfide quantum dots (QDs) as sensitizers is proposed for the chemiluminometric determination of cetirizine pharmaceutical formulation. CdS QDs were synthesized by using water soluble route. The nanoparticles were structurally and optically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultra Violet-Visible (UV–Vis) absorption spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In this study results shows that CdS quantum dots are enhancers of the weak CL emission. Trace amounts of cetirizine improved the sensitize effect of CdS quantum dots yielding a significant chemiluminescence enhancement of the Ce(IV)–SO32?–CdS QDs system. So, a new CL analysis system was selected for the determination of cetirizine. There is a good linear relationship between the relative chemiluminescence intensity and the concentration of cetirizine in the range of 1×10?9– 1×10?6 molL?1 with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9963 at the optimum conditions. The limit of detection (LOD) of this system was found to be 5×10?11 M. This method is simple, sensitive and cost effective, and also is accommodating for pharmaceutical applications.Kouhestany et al., International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, June 2016, 5(7): 59-62
