A rapid, simple, and sensitive voltammetric sensor has been fabricated to determine Rhodamine B (RhB), a textile coloring agent. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by the chemical reduction method of silver nitrate and sodium citrate. Graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs) and AgNPs were drop-casted on the surface of a working electrode of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE), forming the SPCE-GPLs/AgNPs samples. Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray and cyclic voltammetry confirmed the altered surface of the SPCE. The square wave voltammetry was used for the electrochemical determination of RhB. The SPCE-GPLs/AgNPs demonstrated electrochemical responses to detect RhB with a linear range of 2-100 μM, and the limit of detection was 1.94 μM. The SPCE-GPLs/AgNPs demonstrated a selective detection of RhB in the presence of common interfering compounds present in the food samples, including sucrose and monosodium glutamate. Furthermore, the sensor presented good reproducibility as well as repeatability in the detection of RhB. When the sensor was used to determine RhB in an actual food sample, similar results were shown as suggested by UV-vis spectroscopy analysis. Hence, the fabricated sensor can be applied for the detection of RhB in food samples.

Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technique is the simplest and inexpensive method for preparartion of nano-dimensional thin films for tailoring material behavior having wide range of applications including sensors. Here, spectroscopic behavior of two laser dyes Acriflavine (Acf) and Rhodamine B (RhB) assembled onto LbL films have been investigated. It has been observed that both Acf and RhB form stable LbL films.

Sensing of amino acid serves as the frontier research area for early diagnosis and monitoring various diseases. Among various amino acids, the sensing of L-Cysteine is much important for detection of human diseases like neurotoxic effect and coronary heart disease which arises due to excess of L-Cysteine. To address this, we propose a very simple method of L-Cys sensing via fluorescence "TURN ON" mechanism involving silver centred Rhodamine B nanogranules (AgNPs/RhB) stabilized via electrostatic interaction.

Aiming to enable online freshness-monitoring of meat within modified-atmosphere package, we developed a ratiometric array that was fluorescently responsive to volatile organic compounds-ammonia (NH) released by protein decaying. The array was consisted of two 3 mm × 6 mm rectangles precisely and uniformly printed with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) as indicator and rhodamine B (RhB) as internal reference on the filter-paper, respectively. The fluorescence intensity of the array area was calibrated according to Green/Red ratio of the digitalized pixels extracted from images facilitated by a smartphone.

Preparation of carbon dots (CDs) from biomass waste is of great interest due to its low cost synthesis, environmental compatibility and functionalization without adding dangerous chemicals. Herein, S-doped carbon dot (SCD) was synthesized using agricultural waste as carbon precursors and modified in-situ with rhodamine B dye (SCD@RHB) to construct efficient flouresent probe. SCD@RHB was loaded into HKUST-1 metal-organic framework (SCD@RHB/HKUST-1) and the probe was employed as ratiometric flouresent (RF) sensor for the determination of ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotic in trace level.

Ischaemic stroke and glioma, as leading causes of mortality and long-term disability, pose critical challenges to healthcare systems, necessitating innovative approaches to enable early and cost-effective diagnosis for timely intervention. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an astrocyte-produced protein, is highly responsive to both ischaemic stroke and glioblastoma multiforme, with its levels correlating to the extent of brain damage. In this study, we present the development of an immunoassay probe for the ratiometric fluorescent detection of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), employing a monoclonal GFAP antibody-conjugated silicon quantum dots (Ab@SiQDs) and rhodamine B dye (RhB)-based immunoprobe.
