Fine-tuning bromide AIE probes for Hg2+ detection in mitochondria with wash-free staining

A triphenylamine-based fluorescent probe with large Stokes shift for wash-free imaging of lipid droplets and diagnosis of fatty liver

“…3, compared to the washed cells, probe TSB showed the same clear and bright fluorescent signal in cells without any washing step, and also displayed a high signal-to-noise ratio. 36 Besides, it is worth noting that after entering the cells, probe TSB exhibited a point-like fluorescence signal mainly concentrated in the circular region of the cytoplasm. Then, combined with the high lipophilicity of TSB , we hypothesized that the probe might target lipid structures in live cells such as LDs.…”

Electrochemiluminescence Sensor Based on CeO2 Nanocrystalline for Hg2+ Detection in Environmental Samples

“…CeO 2 was synthesized according to previous reports [ 31 ]. Briefly, 0.02 g of CA, 0.1 g of CeCl 3 ·6H 2 O, and 0.16 g of urea were fully mixed and completely dissolved in 25 mL of ultrapure water, and subsequently, 0.15 mL of H 2 O 2 (30%) was added dropwise.…”

“…In previous research, traditional analytical methods, such as atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) [ 26 ], mass spectrometry (MS) [ 27 ], and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) [ 28 ], have been widely applied for the determination of Hg 2+ ; however, they usually require professional personnel to operate and some techniques do not meet the international standard for the detection of mercury in real samples. In recent years, researchers have focused on improving the sensitivity of detection techniques and developing new inspection methods to identify and detect trace amounts of Hg 2+ [ 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”
