“…The detection limit for Cr 6+ was 10 ppm and the sensitivity was 0.022 nM/ppm at an optimum pH of between 6.2 and 6.8. They also reported that Na + affected the Cr 6+ absorption the most, which followed the order of Na + > Mg 2+ > Ca 2+ > K + and Cl − < SO 4 2− < PO 4 2− for cations and anions, respectively. On the other hand, Wang et al used a mercury-specific oligonucleotide (MSO), which is thymine (T)-rich, to modify the Au NPs that enhanced the sensing of mercury ions.…”

“…Potassium plays an important role in membrane transport, and the precise detection of potassium ions is very crucial. In 2008, Chen et al used calix [4]crown to modify a gold chip to be incorporated with SPR spectroscopy. (34) It was reported that the calix [4]crown was assembled as a monolayer on the gold surface.…”

“…In 2008, Chen et al used calix [4]crown to modify a gold chip to be incorporated with SPR spectroscopy. (34) It was reported that the calix [4]crown was assembled as a monolayer on the gold surface. From their report, the K + ion concentration can be monitored at a wide range of 1 pM to 0.1 mM with the highest sensitivity (1 pM) and selectivity over other alkali and alkaline earth metal ions near the neutral pH (6)(7)(8).…”

“…In the following year, Fen et al developed a sensor that is sensitive and selective towards Pb 2+ detection by immobilising p-tert-butylcalix [4]arene-tetrakis (BCAT) in a chitosan thin film. (42) The BCAT-chitosan thin film was coated on the gold layer by the spin coating technique.…”

“…Zn 2+ disorder can lead to Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Guam ALS-Parkinsonism dementia, Parkinson's disease, hypoxia-ischemia, and epilepsy, (3) while lack of Fe 2+ can cause paediatric iron deficiency anaemia. (4) Other metal ions such as magnesium (Mg 2+ ) and copper (Cu 2+ ) concentrations and distributions are tightly controlled. For example, Mg 2+ is essential as an enzyme activator for neuromuscular excitability and cell permeability.…”

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy has emerged as an optical sensor for sensing a variety of analytes, including metal ions. However, despite its numerous advantages, which include very high sensitivity, simple sample preparation, low cost, fast measurement capability, no requirement for reference solution, high reproducibility, ability to monitor kinetic behaviour, label-free detection, and nondestructiveness, the SPR optical sensor has to compete with existing methods especially in terms of sensitivity and selective detection. A critical review of the use of SPR in metal ion detection is presented. It describes the instrument and different developments on active layers or recognition molecules for sensitivity and selectivity improvements. In conclusion, progress in SPR optical sensor technology will further expand SPR detection abilities and allow SPR sensing to be used widely including in environmental monitoring as an effective metal ion sensor in the future.

Iron is an essential micronutrient required for growth and development during all stages of human life with the most important function of oxygen transportation via hemoglobin. With the prevalence of the triple burden of malnutrition in the world, there is an increase in iron deficiency anemia affecting a lot of people, especially the adolescent population of girls. The diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia is confirmed by low iron stores and decreased hemoglobin levels. It is prevalent in both urban and rural regions; however, gender differences exist which start from the age of 15 years, as females are more prone to develop iron deficiency. On comparing the 4th and 5th surveys conducted by the National Family Health Survey, India, it can be observed that the prevalence of anemia has increased which is a major cause of concern. One of the major reasons that people suffer from this deficiency would be vegetarianism. Plant sources contain iron but they are present in the ferric state which needs to be converted to the ferrous state. The bioavailability of plant sources is low therefore, this condition can be tackled by adopting steps like dietary diversification, biofortification, fortification, and supplementation.
