Abstract |
|
|
|
A simple strategy has been developed to construct a micrometer-sized self-referenced fluorescence sensor for detecting Cu2+. The method relies on microcontact printing of bovine serum albumin-stabilized gold nanocluster (BSA-AuNC) and poly(propyl methacrylate) (PPMA) stripes on a glass slide. The PPMA stripes are printed on the BSA-AuNC stripes to form a crossbar array, with its cell unit being composed of four distinct regions: BSA-AuNC, plain glass, PPMA, and BSA-AuNC covered by PPMA. The BSA-AuNC region is fluorescent and its fluorescence intensity is changeable upon contacting with analyte solution. The BSA-AuNC covered by PPMA is also fluorescent but insensitive to the analyte solution due to the presence of PPMA which prevents the analyte solution from contacting the BSA-AuNC. This region can thus be used as an internal reference for sensing. This self-referenced sensor is able to detect Cu2+ in a highly specific and concentration-dependent manner.
