A FRET-based carbon dot-MnO2 nanosheet architecture for glutathione sensing in human whole blood samples

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Aug 18;51(64):12748-51. doi: 10.1039/c5cc04905a.

Abstract

A novel FRET-based sensing platform employing fluorescent carbon dots and MnO2 nanosheets as energy donor-acceptor pairs is designed and fabricated for the first time, which demonstrates a promising application for the detection of glutathione in human whole blood samples with high sensitivity.
