Cyanide Detection by Highly Modified Sol-Gel Biocomposite Sensor

Mozneb S., Lai J.C.K., Leung S.W., Idaho State University, US

Cyanide is an important industrial chemical but is also very toxic. Cyanide binds strongly with hemoglobin than that of oxygen which causes histoxic hypoxia, if cyanide is ingested into the bloodstream. This pairing reaction can [...]

Plasmon enhanced silver quantum cluster fluorescence for biochemical applications

Bernard S., Kutter J.P., Mogensen K.B., Technical University of Denmark, DK

Silver quantum clusters (AgQCs) consisting of typically 4-10 atoms and known to be highly fluorescing in the visible wavelength range. Here, plasmon-enhanced silver quantum cluster fluorescence is employed for chemical sensing in a simple microfluidic [...]
