Colorimetric and bare-eye detection of alkaline earth metal ions based on the aggregation of silver nanoparticles functionalized with thioglycolic acid
“…The LOD of the method was 0.003 μM by UV‐visible spectrometer, whereas LOD of visual read‐out was observed at 0.005 μM, which can be easily observed with naked‐eye. The LOD of the probe was lower than that of the other visual read‐out assays and the performance of the sensor is more compatible with sophisticated analytical techniques (Table ). Thus, it can be acted as user friendly probe for the colorimetric recognition of Ba 2+ ion in environmental and biological systems at low volume samples.…”

“…We also explored the potential use of 6‐mercaptonicotinic acid (MNA) and melamine (MA) as cooperative ligands for bifunctionalization of Ag NPs for colorimetric identification of Cr 3+ and Ba 2+ ions . Wu's group functionalized Ag NPs with thioglycolic acid (TGA) for a facile and rapid visual readout of four alkaline earth metal ions including Ba 2+ ion . Similarly, G‐quadruplex DNA in α‐hemolysin nanopore‐based colorimetric method was developed for selective and sensitive simultaneous sensing of Pb 2+ and Ba 2+ ions .…”
Herein, a novel silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) based colorimetric method was explored for selective recognition of Ba2+ ion in water samples using guanine‐Ag NPs as a sensor. The colorimetric recognition strategy was based on the significant change in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band of guanine‐Ag NPs with Ba2+ ion. The electron‐rich groups (‐NH2, ‐CO‐NH and ‐NH‐) on the surfaces of guanine‐Ag NPs allow to act as an excellent probe for selective colorimetric recognition of Ba2+ ion. The absorption ratio at A504/A420 was shown linear response with Ba2+ ion concentration (0.005‐0.5 μM), with limit of detection of 0.003 μM (3.0 nM). The color change of guanine‐Ag NPs in water samples is ascertained facile, rapid, selective and sensitive recognition of Ba2+ ion at trace levels (nanomolar) without use of sophisticated analytical technique. The developed probe simplifies the sample preparations and provides a rapid analytical tool for sensing of Ba2+ ion environmental samples at minimal volume of samples.

A fast eco-friendly colorimetric method was developed for the determination of Tobramycin in drug substance, ophthalmic formulations, and spiked human plasma using silver nanoparticles optical sensor. Even though tobramycin is non-UV–visible absorbing, the developed method is based on measuring the absorbance quenching of silver nanoparticles resulting from the interaction with tobramycin. Different factors affecting the absorbance intensity were studied as; silver nanoparticle concentration, pH, buffer type, and reaction time using quality by design approach. Validation of the proposed method was performed according to ICH guidelines and was found to be accurate, precise, and sensitive. The linearity range of tobramycin was 0.35–4.0 μg/mL. The optical sensor was successfully applied for the determination of Tobramycin in ophthalmic formulations and spiked human plasma without pre-treatment. Additionally, the binding between Tobramycin and PVP- capped silver nanoparticles was studied using molecular docking software. The method was assessed and compared to colorimetric reported methods for the green character using Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI) and Analytical GREEnness calculator (AGREE) tools and found to be greener.
