In this paper, novel N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) were prepared from fuchsin basic and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-2Na). The N-CDs were characterized by a series of techniques and...
N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) were synthesized from L-glutamine and triethanolamine using a one-step hydrothermal method. The N-CDs emitting blue fluorescence had selective responses to tetracyclines (TCs) and could be used as a fluorescent probe to realize the quantitative detection and qualitative analysis of TCs. A method for the determination of TCs using the N-CDs in actual samples was successfully established. The recovery rate was maintained at 97.50-105.60%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 3%. In addition, TCs can be visually distinguished using filter paper by the different fluorescence colours (light green, dark blue, and yellow-green) of the N-CDs/TCs system under ultraviolet light. This study provides a relatively simple method to detect and identify TCs.fluorescent probe, N-doped carbon dots, tetracyclines
| INTRODUCTIONTetracyclines (TCs), mainly including tetracycline (TC), chlortetracycline (CTC), and oxytetracycline (OTC), are commonly used as a disease-preventive medicine and feed additive in animal husbandry and aquaculture. [1,2] However, the long-term abuse of TCs has caused extensive drug residues in the environment that may endanger human health. Many studies have shown that the excessive intake of TCs can
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
