Enhanced fluorescence detection of ergosterol by hydrophobic fluorescent natural deep eutectic solvent

Lab-on-a-bead: Polymeric natural deep eutectic solvents as a versatile platform for (bio)sensor design

“…to the system. 40,41 In this sense, polymeric deep eutectic solvents, also known as PODES, are a new and interesting family of materials that combine characteristics from polymers with the traditional advantages of DES, 42,43 enabling the formation of a stable phase supported by the hydrogen-bond network. 38,44 Thus, and considering the capacity of DES to stabilize enzymes, [45][46][47][48] the main objective of this work was to design and fabricate a new PODES using ALG as one of the components (ALGPODES).…”
