Abstract:
In this paper, probe 1 based on N, N-bis (pyridin-2-ylmethyl) aniline is prepared as an effective fluorescent probe for Cu2+. It exhibits good sensitivity and selectivity for Cu2+ over other metal ions in aqueous solution. The detection limit of probe 1 is 56 nM. Furthermore, probe 1 is pH-insensitive under near-neutral conditions and can work well in environmental samples.

Labeling DNA Probes
DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

Photoluminescence: Applications
Photoluminescence offers a wide range of applications due to its inherent sensitivity and selectivity. This technique allows for both direct and indirect analyses of the analyte. Direct quantitative analysis is possible when the analyte exhibits a favorable quantum yield for fluorescence or phosphorescence. However, an indirect analysis may be feasible if the analyte is not fluorescent or phosphorescent, or if the quantum yield is unfavorable. Indirect methods include reacting the analyte with...
