Fluorescence sensor based on glutathione capped CdTe QDs for detection of Cr^3+ ions in vitamins

In this work,glutathione capped CdTe QDs(GSH-QDs)were prepared through a one-pot process and found to be quenched by Cr^3+,Ag^+and Cu^2+ions.Cr^3+and chromium(III)picolinate could be quantitatively measured after masking Cu^2+and Ag+ions by sulfide.Under optimal conditions,linear quenching was observed for Cr^3+in the ranges of 0–2.0M and the limit of detection was 3.0 nM.The recoveries for Cr^3+in vitamin supplements obtained were from 92.5%to 106%.The determination results of chromium(III)picolinate in vitamin supplement samples were compared to that obtained using flame atomic absorption spectrometry(FAAS)method,and the result showed good reliability.
