Ag@Au nanoprism-metal organic framework-based paper for extending the glucose sensing range in human serum and urine.

In this work, we present a Ag@Au nanoprism-metal-organic framework-paper based glucose sensor for rapid, sensitive, single-use and quantitative glucose determination in human serum. To achieve painless measurement of glucose with a non-invasive detection methodology, this biosensor was further tested in human urine. In this approach, a new hybrid-Ag@Au nanoprism loaded in close proximity to micrometer sized coordination polymers as phosphorescent luminophores significantly enhanced the emission intensity due to metal-enhanced phosphorescence and worked as reaction sites to support more dissolved oxygen.
