Abstract:

In this work, we report a strategy of a single dual-emissive ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe (QDs@SiO2-CDs) with the controllable ratio of emissive intensities to realize the consecutive color variations from blue to red for the quantification of blood glucose. The red quantum dots (rQDs) were embedded into silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) as an stable internal standard emission, and blue carbon dots (bCDs) were further covalently linked onto the surface of SiO2 NPs, in which the ratiometric fluorescence intensity of blue to red is controlled at 5: 1(from QDs@SiO2-CDs) was thus quenched by the electron transfer from CDs to Fe3+. Meanwhile, the fluorescent intensity  (at 630  nm) of  rQDs  (from Q D s @ SiO2-CDs) keeps almost unchanged. It has been demonstrated that the fluorescence intensity ratio I445/I630 is linearly related  to the glucose concentration in the range of 0−75 μM (R2 = 0.989). The calculated detection limit is about 3 μM in terms of the 3σ rule. Consecutive color variations from blue to red with the dosage of glucose can be seen under a  365  nm UV  lamp.  That is  to say, the  ratiometric  fluorescent probe   can be used for  the  detection  of glucose in human serum.  The test result show that the spontaneous blood glucose determined by the probe wasalmost in accordance with that measured by a standard glucometer. The method reported here opens a window to the wide applications of the ratiometric fluorescent probe in biological assays.
