“…13 However, their high costs, complicated pretreatment procedures, time-consuming processes, poor electrocatalytic activity, and the requirement of sophisticated instrumentation and skilled operators highly limit their applications. [14][15][16] On the other hand, fluorescence analytical methods have gained much attention due to their numerous merits, 17,18 including high selectivity and sensitivity, rapid processes, easy operation, and particularly the possibility to be read by the naked eye under a simple ultraviolet (UV) lamp. 19,20 Recently, several fluorescence sensors based on carbon dots and CdTe quantum dots have been employed for monitoring MG; 21,22 however, portable, visual, and rapid fluorescence assays for MG are still limited.…”
