Sensing a Bacillis anthracisbiomarker with well-known OLED emitter EuTta sub(3)Phen

Dipicolinic acid (DPA) is a distinctive biomarker for bacterial spores. Here, we present the successful demonstration of dramatic Switch-OFF sensing of DPA using an easily synthesised Eu(iii) phosphor applied primarily in light-emitting devices. The sensor in the presence of water and phosphate is a...

Description
Summary:Dipicolinic acid (DPA) is a distinctive biomarker for bacterial spores. Here, we present the successful demonstration of dramatic Switch-OFF sensing of DPA using an easily synthesised Eu(iii) phosphor applied primarily in light-emitting devices. The sensor in the presence of water and phosphate is also demonstrated to be effective.
