Atomic-precise Pt2Cu4 cluster-based fluorescent sensor for rapid interleukin-6 detection

Anal Methods. 2023 Jul 6;15(26):3161-3164. doi: 10.1039/d3ay00642e.

Abstract

Levonorgestrel protected Pt2Cu4 clusters were assembled with a polymer to prepare nanobeads (NBs) with intense red fluorescence. An immunofluorescence sensor based on Pt2Cu4NBs was established for the rapid and sensitive detection of interleukin-6 (IL-6) owing to its significance in inflammatory diseases, with a limit of detection of 42.66 pg mL-1. IL-6 spiked in serum was also accurately detected.
