General description

for analysis and indicator

Application


  • A ratiometric fluorescence strategy based on inner filter effect for Cu(2+)-mediated detection of acetylcholinesterase.: This study utilizes Alizarin Red S to develop a fluorescence-based method for detecting copper ions and acetylcholinesterase activity, important for environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics (Li et al., 2021 doi:10.1007/s00604-021-05044-0).

  • Multiplex SERS Chemosensing of Metal Ions via DNA-Mediated Recognition.: Explores the complexation of Alizarin Red S with different metal ions, utilizing Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for sensitive detection, which can be applied in environmental analysis and health sciences (Guerrini and Alvarez-Puebla, 2019 doi:10.1021/acs.analchem.9b02385).

  • Capsicum-Derived Biomass Quantum Dots Coupled with Alizarin Red S as an Inner-Filter-Mediated Illuminant Nanosystem for Imaging of Intracellular Calcium Ions.: This innovative approach uses Alizarin Red S in a composite nanosystem for advanced imaging techniques to monitor intracellular activities, offering potential in biomedical research and diagnostics (Chen et al., 2018 doi:10.1021/acs.analchem.8b04055).

  • Ratiometric fluorescent probe based on gold nanoclusters and alizarin red-boronic acid for monitoring glucose in brain microdialysate.: Highlights the application of Alizarin Red S in developing a glucose monitoring system, which is critical for understanding metabolic processes in neurological studies (Wang et al., 2014 doi:10.1021/ac5023293).
