Abstract
Changes in amylase (AMY) concentration in urine serve a vital function in monitoring human health. However, the development of non-destructive, sensitive, and real-time assays for AMY concentration still faces serious challenges. In this study, a novel fluorescence/smartphone imaging colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform based on ionic liquid carbon dots (IL-CDs) was designed for the first time for assessing AMY concentration in urine. The obtained IL-CDs exhibited high sensitivity, good selectivity, and excellent stability. AMY can significantly decrease the fluorescence intensity through static quenching, enabling direct AMY concentration monitoring. Significantly, the proposed method was extended to the measurement of AMY in the urine samples with good spiked recoveries (96.98–103.81 %) as well as high accuracy. Furthermore, a smartphone-dependent detection method was developed after exploring the association between IL-CDs (G/(R + B)) fluorescence intensity at different concentrations of AMY, which simplified the AMY detection process. Through the combination of fluorescence and smartphone imaging colorimetry, it not only eliminated the damage to the human body during the detection process, but also realized the direct detection of AMY. The present method provided a fast and reliable new idea for monitoring human health.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is a well-established international journal dedicated to research on the chemical and biological aspects of natural macromolecules. Focusing on proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids, the journal presents the latest findings in molecular structure, properties, biological activities, interactions, modifications, and functional properties. Papers must offer new and novel insights, encompassing related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and analytical techniques. Each paper is required to primarily focus on at least one named biological macromolecule, reflected in the title, abstract, and text.
