TL;DR: An easily prepared platinum nanoparticle (PtNP) probe for the sensitive and selective detection of Hg(2+) ions is developed here and it is expected that this colorimetric sensor will be a promising candidate for the field detection of toxic HG( 2+) ions in environmental, biological, and food samples.

TL;DR: In this article, gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) with a photoluminescence quantum yield (QY) as high as 65% were synthesized in water through a simple blending route.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the superiority of chitosan (Ch) as a capping molecule for synthesizing catalytic platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and develops a novel colorimetric approach for ACP determination, based on the Ch-PtNP-catalyzed oxidation of TMB, the inhibitory effect of ascorbic acid on the oxidase-like activity of Ch, and the ACP-catalysis of AA 2-phosphate into AA.

TL;DR: In this paper, a label-free electrochemical DNA biosensor for simple, effective and convenient determination of MDR1 gene based on Au nanoparticles/toluidine blue-graphene oxide (Au NPs/TB-GO) modified electrode was presented.

TL;DR: It is communicated that the ECL of ligand-stabilized AuNCs is drastically enhanced by on-electrode pre-oxidation with triethylamine (TEA) as a coreactant, resulting in a record high ECL yield of 66% and opens avenues for solving a challenging problem of AuNC-based ECL probes and enriches fundamental understanding, greatly broadening their huge potential applications.
