Detecting Glucose Levels in Blood Plasma and Artificial Tear by Au(I) Complex on the Carbopol Polymer: A Microfluidic Paper-Based Method.

We report on a selective paper-based method and a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) for the detection of human plasma glucose and tear glucose using carbopol polymer-encapsulated Au(I) complex (AuC₂C₆H₄OMe)₂(Ph₂P(C₆H₄)₃PPh₂), (). To the best of our knowledge, this demonstrates for the first time the glucose sensing based on dual emission, i.e.

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.
