Construction of a 19-Metal Cd(II)–Eu(III) Nanocluster for Visual and Real-Time Detection of Biopterin (a Cancer Marker) through Smartphone Scanning
Key Points
This research aims to develop a nanocluster for the rapid and accurate detection of biopterin, a potential cancer marker.
Constructed a 19-metal Cd(II)–Eu(III) nanocluster.
Evaluated detection speed to be less than 5 seconds.
Determined limits of detection between 0.11 to 0.22 nM.
Achieved real-time detection of biopterin with limits of 0.11 to 0.22 nM.
Demonstrated the capability of smartphone scanning for the detection process.
Abstract
toward Bio is less than 5 s, and the limits of detection are from 0.11 to 0.22 nM (ppb level).
