The fluorescence method possesses advantages such as simple operation, low cost, and visualizability. Therefore, this work constructs a ratio fluorescence probe for the selective detection of doxycycline based on MXene QDs and rare earth ions. We prepared MXene QDs using uric acid and single-layer Ti3CN as raw materials through a hydrothermal method. The MXene QDs-Eu3+ dual-emission fluorescent probe was constructed by self-assembly of MXene QDs and Eu3+, which was used for the selective detection of streptomycin. By optimizing the experimental conditions such as the concentration of MXene QDs, Eu3+, pH, and response time in the probe system, this dual-emission fluorescent probe was explored for quantitative and selective detection of streptomycin. Findings show that the fluorescent probe uniquely identifies gentamicin, with a strong linear correlation between the fluorescence intensity ratio (F615/F421) and different gentamicin concentrations (0~30 μM), hinting at its potential use in identifying tetracycline residues.展开更多

Here, GO was introduced to enhance the efficiency of mass-transfer in recognition of target protein. Molecularly imprinted polymer coated GO-QDs using BSA as template （BMIP-coated GO-QDs ） exhibited a fast mass-transfer speed, which could be ascribed to the high volume of efficient surface area and high target recognition efficiency of the synthesized nanoscale device. Under optimal conditions, it was found that the BSA as target protein could remarkably quench the relative fluorescence intensity of BMIP- coated GO-QDs linearly in a concentration-dependent manner that was best described by a Stern-Volmer equation. The Ksv （Stern- Volmer constant） for template BSA was much higher than bovine hemoglobin （BHb） and lysozyme （Lyz）, implying a highly selective recognition ability of the BMIP-coated GO-QDs to BSA. This enhanced fluorescent nanoscale device may provide opportunities to develop a system that is efficient and effective and has potential in the design of highly effective fluorescent receptor for recognition of target protein in Droteomics studies.展开更多
