Article Abstract

A fully automated multipumping flow system (MPFS) using water-soluble CdTe quantum dots (QD) as sensitizers is proposed for the chemiluminometric determination of the anti-diabetic drugs gliclazide and glipizide in pharmaceutical formulations. The nanocrystals acted as enhancers of the weak CL emission produced upon oxidation of sulphite by Ce(IV) in acidic medium, thus improving sensitivity and expanding the dynamical analytical concentration range. By interacting with the QD, the two analytes prevented their sensitizing effect yielding a chemiluminescence quenching of the Ce(IV)-SO(3)(2-)CdTe QD system. The pulsed flow inherent to MPFS assured a fast and efficient mixing of all solutions inside the flow cell, circumventing the need for a reaction coil and facilitating the monitoring of the short-lived generated chemiluminescent species. QD crystal size, concentration and spectral region for measurement were investigated.

CdMnTe (CMT) is a promising magneto-optical (MO) material for the visible to near-infrared region with a tunable bandgap via manganese (Mn) doping. Although CMT has been extensively studied, the solid solubility limit of Mn in CdTe (cadmium telluride) remains unclear, and the growth of high-Mn-content single crystals has not yet been reported in detail. In this work, the Mn solubility limit in CdTe was determined to be = 0.

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains a major global health threat, necessitating rapid and sensitive detection strategies. Herein, we report a signal-on quantum dot photoelectrochemical (QD-PEC) biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), based on a MoS/NbS nanoheterojunction constructed via atomic layer deposition (ALD). The petal-like MoS/NbS, uniformly grown with atomic precision, offers a high surface area and efficient charge transport, serving as an ideal scaffold for dense CdTe QD loading.

Fourier-transform (FT) spectrometer data must be calibrated using at least two reference sources to yield a target temperature. An experiment was performed with an ABB MR304 FTIR spectrometer to determine the best calibration method for data from its MCT (mercury-cadmium-telluride) and InSb (indium-antimonide) detectors at temperatures well above the reference temperatures (extrapolation), as well as to analyze the effects of mesh screens on the detector behavior and calibration quality. Four datasets were collected and plotted on radiance versus instrument response plots to analyze the detector behaviors and to test how well lower temperature points predicted higher temperature points with linear and quadratic fitting.
