A single dual emissive nanoprobe for quantification of
spontaneous glucose in human serum

n this work, we report a strategy of a single dual-emissive
ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe (QDs@SiO2-CDs) with
the controllable ratio of emissive intensities to realize
the consecutive color variations from blue to red for the
quantification of blood glucose. The red quantum dots (rQDs)
were embedded into silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) as an
stable internal standard emission, and blue carbon dots (bCDs)
were further covalently linked onto the surface of SiO2 NPs,
in which the ratiometric fluorescence intensity of blue to red
is controlled at 5: 1(from QDs@SiO2-CDs) was thus quenched
by the electron transfer from CDs to Fe3+. Meanwhile, the
fluorescent intensity (at 630 nm)of rQDs (from Q D s @
SiO2-CDs) keeps almost unchanged. It has been demonstrated
that the fluorescence intensity ratio I445/I630 is linearly related
to the glucose concentration in the range of 0−75 μM (R2 =
0.989). The calculated detection limit is about 3 μM in terms of
the 3σ rule. Consecutive color variations from blue to red with
the dosage of glucose can be seen under a 365 nm UV lamp.
That is to say, the ratiometric fluorescent probe can be
used for the detection of glucose in human serum. The test
result show that the spontaneous blood glucose determined
by the probe wasalmost in accordance with that measured
by a standard glucometer. The method reported here opens a
window to the wide applications of the ratiometric fluorescent
probe in biological assays.
