Silver Nanoparticle-Based Sensor for the Selective Detection of Nickel Ions.

ABSTRACT: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can be used as a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) colorimetric sensor; the correlation between the SPR phenomenon and the aggregation state of nanoparticle allows the real-time detection of a target molecule. Surface functionalization of NPs with proper molecular baits is often performed to establish the selectivity of the sensor. This work reports on the synthesis of AgNPs under reducing conditions and on the functionalization thereof with mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA). UV-VIS Spectroscopy confirmed the formation of AgNPs, eliciting a surface plasmon absorption band (SPAB) at 393 nm that shifted to 417 nm upon surface coating. Dynamic light scattering was used to investigate the surface coatings; moreover, pelleted AgNPs@11MUA nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analyzers (EDX), and infrared spectroscopy to corroborate the presence of 11MUA on the surface. Most interestingly, the resulting AgNPs@11MUA selectively detected micromolar levels of Ni²⁺, also in the presence of other cations such as Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Cr³⁺.

FRET-Based Genetically Encoded Sensor to Monitor Silver Ions.

Project description:Silver is commonly used in wound dressing, photography, health care products, laboratories, pharmacy, biomedical devices, and several industrial purposes. Silver (Ag+) ions are more toxic pollutants widely scattered in the open environment by natural processes and dispersed in soil, air, and water bodies. Ag+ binds with metallothionein, macroglobulins, and albumins, which may lead to the alteration of various enzymatic metabolic pathways. To analyze the uptake and metabolism of silver ions in vitro as well as in cells, a range of high-affinity fluorescence-based nanosensors has been constructed using a periplasmic protein CusF, a part of the CusCFBA efflux complex, which is involved in providing resistance against copper and silver ions in Escherichia coli. This nanosensor was constructed by combining of two fluorescent proteins (donor and acceptor) at the N- and C-terminus of the silver-binding protein (CusF), respectively. SenSil (WT) with a binding constant (K d) of 5.171 μM was more efficient than its mutant variants (H36D and F71W). This nanosensor allows monitoring the level of silver ions in real time in prokaryotes and eukaryotes without any disruption of cells or tissues.

Selective sensor for silver ions built from polyfluorophores on a DNA backbone.

Project description:To explore a new modular metal ion sensor design strategy, fluorophores and ligands were incorporated into short DNA-like oligomers. Compound 1 was found to function as a selective sensor for Ag(+) in aqueous buffer, where low micromolar concentrations of Ag(+) induce a red-shifted, turn-on fluorescence signal. Experiments with HeLa cells show that 1 can penetrate cells and yield a signal for intracellular Ag(+). This suggests a broadly applicable approach to developing sensors for a wide variety of cations.

A sensitive and selective BINOL based ratiometric fluorescence sensor for the detection of cyanide ions.

Project description:A highly selective, novel BINOL based sensor BBCN has been developed for the fluorescent ratiometric detection of cyanide ions (CN-). The optical study revealed that BBCN exhibited unique spectral changes only with cyanide ions in the presence of other competing ions. Besides, an apparent fluorescent colour change from green to blue was observed. A clear linear relationship was observed between the fluorescence ratiometric ratio of BBCN and the concentration of CN- with a reasonably low detection limit (LOD) of 189 nM (507 ppb). The optical response was due to the nucleophilic addition of CN- to the dicyanovinyl group of the sensor, which compromises the probe's intramolecular charge transfer. This mechanism was well confirmed by Job's plot, 1H-NMR and ESI-MS studies. BBCN showed immediate spectral response towards (1 second) CN- and detection could be realized in a broad pH window. Furthermore, the practical utility of BBCN was studied by test paper-based analysis and the detection of CN- in various water resources.

Functionalized Silver Nano-Sensor for Colorimetric Detection of Hg2+ Ions: Facile Synthesis and Docking Studies.

Project description:In the present study, we describe the facile synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their nanostructures functionalized with 2-aminopyrimidine-4,6-diol (APD-AgNPs) for Hg2+ ion detection. The promising colorimetric response of APD-AgNPs to detect Hg2+ ions was visible with naked eyes and spectroscopic changes were examined by using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The aggregation of APD-AgNPs upon addition of Hg2+ ions was due to the chelation effect of the functionalized nanostructures and results in a color change from pale brown to deep yellow color. The probing sensitivity was observed within five minutes with a detection limit of about 0.35 µM/L. The TEM images of APD-AgNPs showed polydispersed morphologies with hexagonal, heptagonal and spherical nanostructures with an average size between 10 to 40 nm. Furthermore, the sensing behavior of APD-AgNPs towards Hg2+ ions detection was investigated using docking and interaction studies.

A selective detection approach for copper(ii) ions using a hydrazone-based colorimetric sensor: spectroscopic and DFT study.

Project description:The development of an efficient and miniaturized analytical approach to determine trace levels of toxic ions in aqueous fluids presents a current research challenge. Hydrazone-based chemosensors are considered potential candidates due to their high sensitivity and selectivity towards heavy metal ions. Computational techniques can be properly implemented to elucidate possible modes of ligand-metal interaction and provide an in-depth understanding of the chemistry involved. The present study reports the use of 3-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde-4-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone (3-HNHBH) ligand for highly sensitive, quick and re-usable colorimetric sensing of copper(ii) ions in aqueous media. DFT calculations suggest that the complexation of 3-HNHBH with copper(ii) ions adopts a seesaw coordination geometry and results in the largest HOMO-LUMO gap and most effective coulombic interaction compared to Zn and Ni counterparts. It demonstrated a high selectivity towards copper ions with a detection limit of 0.34 μg L-1. The ligand was readily regenerated using a 0.5 M HCl solution, indicating its feasibility to be used as a re-usable sensor for the convenient detection of copper ions in aqueous media. The influence of metal interference, pH and solvents on the selectivity and regeneration of the ligand was also investigated.

Silver nanotriangle array based LSPR sensor for rapid coronavirus detection.

Project description:A rapid, portable, and cost-effective method to detect the infection of SARS-CoV-2 is fundamental toward mitigating the current COVID-19 pandemic. Herein, a human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 protein (ACE2) functionalized silver nanotriangle (AgNT) array localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor is developed for rapid coronavirus detection, which is validated by SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD protein and CoV NL63 virus with high sensitivity and specificity. A linear shift of the LSPR wavelength versus the logarithm of the concentration of the spike RBD protein and CoV NL63 is observed. The limits of detection for the spike RBD protein, CoV NL63 in buffer and untreated saliva are determined to be 0.83 pM, 391 PFU/mL, and 625 PFU/mL, respectively, while the detection time is found to be less than 20 min. Thus, the AgNT array optical sensor could serve as a potential rapid point-of-care COVID-19 diagnostic platform.

Mechanochemical Synthesis of a Fluorescein-Based Sensor for the Selective Detection and Removal of Hg2+ Ions in Industrial Effluents.

Project description:Environmentally benign mechanochemistry-assisted high-yielding synthesis of fluorescein-phenylalaninol (FPA) conjugates as a Schiff base receptor is reported herein. This newly synthesized fluorescent probe is found to be most exciting and efficient because of its simultaneous detection and removal of mercury ions (Hg2+) in aqueous medium and industrial effluents through precipitate formation. The receptor successfully worked as a chemosensor in selectively sensing the Hg2+ ion through the rapid transition from yellow to pink in the colorimetric as well as quenching of fluorescence intensity in the fluorometric assay. The removal of mercury ions was confirmed by the inductively coupled plasma analysis of the supernatant. The lower detection limit of Hg2+ ions for the receptor FPA is 1.65 and 0.34 ?M as determined through absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic methods, respectively. The high removal efficiency (?98%) of the mercury ions is promising and could be achieved via the formation of the complex in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of receptor to Hg2+ ions. Furthermore, this probe may be a practical alternative for use in a paper-based portable device for achieving on-site detection of mercury ions in solid, solution, and vapor phases.

Silver-Nanoparticle-Embedded Porous Silicon Disks Enabled SERS Signal Amplification for Selective Glutathione Detection.

Project description:As the major redox couple and nonprotein thiol source in human tissues, the level of glutathione (GSH) has been a concern for its relation with many diseases. However, the similar physical and chemical properties of interference molecules such as cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) make discriminative detection of GSH in complex biological fluids challenging. Here we report a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform, based on silver-nanoparticle-embedded porous silicon disks (PSDs/Ag) substrates for highly sensitive and selective detection of GSH in biofluids. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were reductively synthesized and aggregated directly into pores of PSDs, achieving a SERS enhancement factor (EF) up to 2.59 × 107. Ellman's reagent 5,5'-ditho-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) was selected as the Raman reactive reporting agent, and the GSH quantification was determined using enzymatic recycling method, and allowed the detection limit of GSH to be down to 74.9 nM using a portable Raman spectrometer. Moreover, the significantly overwhelmed enhancement ratio of GSH over other substances enables the discrimination of GSH detection in complex biofluids.

Characterizing a Silver Nanoparticle-Based Electrochemical Biosensor for Shiga Toxin Detection.

Project description:Shiga toxins (1, 2) regularly cause outbreaks and food recalls and pose a significant health risk to the infected population. Therefore, new reliable tools are needed to rapidly detect Shiga toxin cost-effectively in food, water, and wastewater before human consumption. Enzyme immunoassay and polymerase chain reaction approaches are the gold standard detection methods for the Shiga toxin. However, these methods require expensive instruments along with expensive reagents, which makes them hard to convert into point-of-use and low-cost systems. This study introduces an electrochemical biosensing method that utilizes silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as electrochemical tags and commercially available low-cost screen-printed carbon electrodes for detection. This study introduces the modification of reference electrodes on commercially available screen-printed carbon electrodes to detect AgNPs dissolved in nitric acid. This biosensor achieved a 2 ng/mL lowest measured concentration for Shiga toxin-1 in less than 3 h. These biosensor results also showed that the AgNP-based sensor has better linearity (for graph between peak current vs concentration) and lower standard deviation compared to gold nanoparticles (AuNP)-based electrochemical biosensors.

Rapid and selective detection of aluminum ion using 1,2,3-triazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid-functionalized gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric sensor.

Project description:A highly selective, sensitive, rapid, low-cost, simple and visual colorimetric system for Al3+ ion detection was developed based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified with 1,2,3-triazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (TADA). The modified gold nanoparticles (TADA-AuNPs) were first prepared by sodium citrate (Na3Ct) reduction of chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) and then capped with a TADA ligand. Five TADA-AuNPs sensors were constructed with sodium citrate (Na3Ct)/chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) under different molar ratios. Results showed that the molar ratio of Na3Ct/HAuCl4, TADA-AuNPs concentration, pH range and detection time had obvious influences on the performance of this colorimetric method. The optimal detection conditions for Al3+ ions were as follows: Na3Ct/HAuCl4 molar ratio of 6.4 : 1, 0.1 mM of TADA-AuNPs concentration, 4-10 pH range and 90 s of detection time. Under the optimal conditions and using diphenyl carbazone (DPC) as a Cr3+ masking agent, this colorimetric sensor exhibited outstanding time efficiency, selectivity and sensitivity for Al3+ detection. In particular, the detection limits of this sensor obtained via UV-vis and the naked eye were 15 nM and 1.5 μM, respectively, which were much lower than the current limit (3.7 μM) for drinking water in WHO regulation and better than the previous reports. Moreover, this colorimetric sensing system could be used to for on-site, trace level and real-time rapid detection of Al3+ in real water samples.
