“…The limit of detection (LOD), depending on 3SD/K (where SD is the standard deviation of the blank and K is the slope of the plot), could be estimated to 33 ppb (167 nM) with R 2 = 0.9911 (inset of Figure 4 ). These results indicate that the DHP-OH probe is comparable to other sensitive fluorescent sensors for Au 3+ in aqueous media ( Figure S14 ) [ 31 , 32 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”
