Abstract

A system composed of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (EPA) is shown to be a useful probe for highly sensitive and selective fluorometric determination of ferric ion. The fluorescence of the UCNPs (under the 980 nm excitation) has peaks at 546, 657, 758 and 812 nm. EPA is readily oxidized by Fe(III) to generate a dye with a peak at 552 nm. This causes an inner filter effect on the fluorescence peaks at 546 nm, whereas the emissions at 657, 758 and 812 nm remained unchanged. Therefore, the iron concentration can be quantified by measurement of the ratio of fluorescence at 546 and 758. Under optimal condition, the ratio drops linearly in the 0.25 to 50 μM. Fe(III) concentration ranges, with a detection limit of 0.25 μM. The method is highly selective and was applied to the analysis of spiked samples (wastewater) where it gave recoveries of between 100.9 and 107.3%; and RSD values between 0.8 and 1.4%. Results are approximately the same as those obtained by AAS. Graphical abstract A method is presented for fluorimetric determination of Fe(III). Fe(III) reacts with N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (EPA) to generate EPA oxide. The fluorescence peaking at 546 nm is reduced in presence of oxidized EP...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
