Abstract
Advances in porphyrin chemistry have provided exciting technologies in the field of optical biosensing. Herein, we have synthesized 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) and porous Zn0.1Co2O4 nanorods using a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. The obtained TCPP- Zn0.1Co2O4 composite was then used for the development of a novel optical sensor for the determination of uric acid (UA), which is an important biomarker in human urine, serum or saliva for the clinical diagnosis of hyperuricemia and hypouricemia, etc. TCPP-Zn0.1Co2O4 composite was characterized using SEM, TEM, EDAX, PXRD, FT-IR, UV-Visible, and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The fluorescence emission spectral analysis of TCPP-Zn0.1Co2O4 was then investigated for potential applications in the detection of uric acid via the fluorescence quenching mechanism. The designed sensor showed a linear response towards the uric acid in the concentration range of 0.99 to 5.2 nM. The optical sensor exhibits a sensitive response to uric acid with a detection limit of 0.015 nM. The sensor was employed to quantify UA in spiked human urine samples and artificial urine with satisfactory results.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fluorescence is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original articles that advance the practice of this established spectroscopic technique. Topics covered include advances in theory/and or data analysis, studies of the photophysics of aromatic molecules, solvent, and environmental effects, development of stationary or time-resolved measurements, advances in fluorescence microscopy, imaging, photobleaching/recovery measurements, and/or phosphorescence for studies of cell biology, chemical biology and the advanced uses of fluorescence in flow cytometry/analysis, immunology, high throughput screening/drug discovery, DNA sequencing/arrays, genomics and proteomics. Typical applications might include studies of macromolecular dynamics and conformation, intracellular chemistry, and gene expression. The journal also publishes papers that describe the synthesis and characterization of new fluorophores, particularly those displaying unique sensitivities and/or optical properties. In addition to original articles, the Journal also publishes reviews, rapid communications, short communications, letters to the editor, topical news articles, and technical and design notes.
