We developed a simple, sensitive, low-cost and label-free method to detect microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) using double-strand DNA-templated copper nanoclusters (dsDNA-CuNCs) as fluorescent probes.
A fluorometric method was proposed for the determination of Fe3+ and ascorbic acid (AA) based on blue and red dual fluorescence emissions of glutathione (GSH) stabilized-gold nanoclusters (AuNCs).
