Abstract
Arginine (Arg) is involved in tissue metabolism and regulates the immune function; thereby, achieving the detection of Arg is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Herein, dual ratiometric fluorescence sensors were prepared with the blue emission of levorotatory/dextrorotatory carbon dots (CDs) and the red emission of porphyrin (L/D-CDs-PP) for the sensitive and portable detection of Arg. Interestingly, L-CDs-PP and D-CDs-PP displayed not only the dual emission peaks at 493 and 650 nm but also different response modes to Arg; thus, they could serve as dual ratiometric fluorescence sensors to achieve the accurate and reliable detection of Arg, with the detection limit of 23.87 μM for L-CDs-PP and 2.39 μM for D-CDs-PP. Importantly, the solid-state sensors successfully achieved dual-mode visual and portable detection of Arg with the support of a smartphone platform. In addition, L-CDs-PP and D-CDs-PP exhibited excellent biocompatibility and cell imaging capabilities, and they could achieve the detection of Arg in cells and biological samples of urine and rat plasma. Therefore, the dual ratiometric fluorescence sensors exhibited broad application prospects in the fields of analytical sensing, biological imaging, and medical diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
Analytical Chemistry, a peer-reviewed research journal, focuses on disseminating new and original knowledge across all branches of analytical chemistry. Fundamental articles may explore general principles of chemical measurement science and need not directly address existing or potential analytical methodology. They can be entirely theoretical or report experimental results. Contributions may cover various phases of analytical operations, including sampling, bioanalysis, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, microscale and nanoscale systems, environmental analysis, separations, spectroscopy, chemical reactions and selectivity, instrumentation, imaging, surface analysis, and data processing. Papers discussing known analytical methods should present a significant, original application of the method, a notable improvement, or results on an important analyte.
