Because of the significant environmental pollution produced by human activities, there is an ongoing need to develop transportable, simple, and reliable techniques for determining trace contaminants on the spot. This work reported a colorimetric detection method for aqueous Cr(VI) sensing by maleic acid-functionalized gold nanoparticles with high sensitivity and selectivity. The wine-red color of the probe solution can change to gray even in the presence of 1.0 µg L−1 of aqueous Cr(VI). Moreover, with the assistance of a smartphone installed with a commercially available color scan application software, its concentration of could be readily quantified on the spot without the help of UV-Vis spectrometer. The detection limit could reach as low as 0.1 µg L−1 with linear range from 0.2 to 2.0 µg L−1. Most importantly, the coefficient variation of the proposed smartphone-based method was equivalent to that of colorimetry, demonstrating the high accuracy of the proposed method for accurate detection of Cr(VI) in resource-constrained countries. Conclusively, with the help of the smartphone, this nanomaterials-based probe demonstrated the potential in the field of environment monitoring for on-site quantitative detection of any pollutants in resource-constrained countries.

Quantitative cellular in vitro nanoparticle uptake measurements are possible with a large number of different techniques, however, all have their respective restrictions. Here, we demonstrate the application of synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence imaging (XFI) on prostate tumor cells, which have internalized differently functionalized gold nanoparticles. Total nanoparticle uptake on the order of a few hundred picograms could be conveniently observed with microsamples consisting of only a few hundreds of cells. A comparison with mass spectroscopy quantification is provided, experimental results are both supported and sensitivity limits of this XFI approach extrapolated by Monte-Carlo simulations, yielding a minimum detectable nanoparticle mass of just 5 pg. This study demonstrates the high sensitivity level of XFI, allowing non-destructive uptake measurements with very small microsamples within just seconds of irradiation time.

Average Hydrodynamic Diameter

A simple and sensitive assay for Ag+ was developed with unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by using dynamic light scattering techniques. Ag+ could induce the oligonucleotide (5′-ATC ACT ATA TCA TAT ACT CAT-3′) to change from a single-stranded structure to a double-stranded structure and desorb from the surface of AuNPs, which triggered the aggregation of AuNPs in the salt solution. The average hydrodynamic diameter of aggregated AuNPs could be detected by using dynamic light scattering techniques. Under the optimum conditions, the average hydrodynamic diameter of AuNPs is proportional to the concentration of Ag+ within the range of 13.3–100.0 nmol/L, with a detection limit of 3.2 nmol/L. The method is easy to operate and has low sample consumption, high sensitivity and selectivity.
