Multifunctional fluorescent probes have received increasing attention for the sake of atom economy and high-density integration. Herein, CdTe quantum dots (QDs) modified with Eu were synthesized as the bifunctional ratiometric fluorescent probe for sensing two hazardous substances tetracycline (TC) and anthrax spore biomarker 2,6-dipicolinic acid (DPA) at different excitation channels, based on the discrepant excitation wavelengths of Eu and the fluorescence quenching of CdTe QDs after interaction with them. Both DPA and TC enhanced the red emission of Eu via antenna effect but caused the green emission of CdTe QDs to quench. Interestingly, the excitation wavelengths of Eu after coordinating with DPA and TC were 275 and 386 nm, respectively. On this basis, CdTe QDs-Eu achieved the bifunctional ratiometric detection of DPA (λ = 275 nm) and TC (λ = 386 nm) with different excitation channels. Both DPA and TC were selectively detected by CdTe QDs-Eu with rapid response (DPA-1 min, TC-1 min) and high sensitivity (DPA-LOD 0.3 μM, TC-LOD 2.2 nM). CdTe QDs-Eu were applied to analyzing DPA and TC in food, biological and environmental samples. Satisfactory spiked recoveries (80.0-119.0 %) and relative standard deviations (0.5-8.4 %) were obtained for measuring DPA and TC in these samples.

Peroxynitrite (ONOO) and viscosity are critical indicators of lysosome functionality, intimately linked to numerous diseases' pathophysiological processes. Hence, creating reliable analytical techniques to observe fluctuations in lysosomal ONOO and viscosity is highly important. This study presents the development of a novel naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe, Nap-Cy, specifically designed to target lysosomes and simultaneously detect both ONOO and viscosity.

Pressure dependence of spectral positions of the E → A and T → A bands of Cr ions, resulting from changes in Cr-O covalency and variations in crystal field strength, respectively, is commonly utilized in luminescence manometry. However, as demonstrated in this paper, the luminescence of Cr-Cr pairs shows insensitivity to pressure changes, making this signal suitable as a luminescence reference. The significant difference in the thermal and pressure dependences of luminescence with Cr occupying different crystallographic positions in CaAlO:Cr enables the development of a dual-function luminescence thermometer that operates in both ratiometric and lifetime-based readout modes.

Article Synopsis
  • Long-term use of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) poses environmental risks like water contamination and bacterial resistance, raising concerns for food safety.
  • A new bifunctional fluorescent nanoprobe has been developed to detect two important compounds: 2,6-Pyridine dicarboxylic acid (DPA) and TC, which are significant for disease prevention and counter-terrorism.
  • This nanoprobe displays enhanced red fluorescence for DPA and TC detection, achieving low detection limits (9.7 nM for DPA, 21.9 nM for TC) and allows for visual recognition of these substances through noticeable color changes.
