Broadband near-infrared phosphors are essential to realize nondestructive analysis in food industry and biomedical areas. Efficient long-wavelength (>830 nm) phosphors are strongly desired for practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate an efficient broadband NIR phosphor LiInGe 2 O 6 :Cr 3+ , which exhibits a broad NIR emission peaking at ~880 nm with a full width at half maximum of 172 nm upon 460 nm excitation. The internal/external quantum efficiencies of LiInGe 2 O 6 :Cr 3+ are measured to be 81.2% and 39.8%, respectively. The absorption of the phosphor matches well with commercial blue LEDs. Using the fabricated phosphor converted LED illuminating human palm, distribution of blood vessels can be clearly recognized under a NIR camera. These results indicate that LiInGe 2 O 6 :Cr 3+ is a promising candidate to be used in future non-destructive biological applications.

Although there have been numerous reports on broadband near-infrared (NIR) emitting phosphors, their emissions are mainly concentrated in the range of 700–1000 nm (NIR-I). Herein, we successfully synthesized a broadband near-infrared phosphor CaMgGeO4:Cr4+(CMG:Cr4+) with an emission in the range of 1000–1600 nm (NIR-II). The introduction of Er3+ ions into CMG:Cr4+ resulted in a wider near-infrared emission phosphor CaMgGeO4:Cr4+,Er3+ (fwhm = 361 nm), compensating for the luminescence of 1500–1600 nm. More importantly, an energy transfer from Cr4+ to Er3+ ions has been discovered. Furthermore, a NIR pc-LED was fabricated by combining the CMG:Cr4+,Er3+ phosphor with a 590 nm chip. The changes in intensity and profile of the transmission spectra of light passing through different liquids reveal its potential application in organic compound recognition. This work opens a direction for the development of NIR-II phosphors.

Abuse of herbicides in food safety is a vital concern that has an influence on the sustainable development of the world. This work presents, a modified ionization method with separation of the sample and carrier gas inlets, which was utilized for efficient ionization and analyte transfer of herbicides in crops. The working parameters of voltage, injective distance, desorption temperature, and the carrier gas flow rate were optimized to achieve the high efficiency of the transfer and ionization of the analyte. When it was applied in the analysis of herbicides in laboratory, the method exhibited excellent performance in achieving the quantitative detection of herbicides in solutions and residues spiked in an actual matrix with a limit of quantification of 1–20 μg/kg and relative standard deviations of less than 15%. Although a simple QuEchERS process was used, the programmable heating platform ensured efficient gasification and transfer of the target analyte, with the advantages of high speed and selectivity, avoiding the noted matrix effect. The method exhibited a relatively acceptable performance by using air as the discharged gas (open air). It could be used to monitor herbicide residues in the growth stage via on-site non-destructive analysis, which obtained low LODs by dissociating the herbicides from the crops without any pretreatment. It showed great potential for the supervision of the food safety market by achieving non-destructive detection of crops anytime and anywhere. This finding may provide new insights into the determination of pesticide emergence and rice quality assessment.

The practical application of near-infrared (NIR) phosphors is hindered due to their limited light emitting region and narrow bandwidth. Here, we report a series of Cr3+-doped olivine phosphors, (Mg1−xLix)(Mg1−xScx)GeO4:Cr3+, with tunable luminescence from NIR-I to NIR II based on crystallographic site engineering. By using a [Li+–Sc3+] unit substituting for a [Mg2+–Mg2+] unit, the NIR luminescence can be largely tuned from 940 nm to 1110 nm, and the corresponding FWHM can be modified from 236 to ∼300 nm. The internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of Mg2GeO4:1% Cr3+ were measured to be 48.19% and 16.38%, respectively. The photoluminescence of the phosphors matches well with the absorption of several functional groups. By measuring the NIR absorption of different liquids illuminated by NIR light from our phosphors, qualitative and quantitative analysis can be realized. These results suggest that the super-broad NIR luminescence of (Mg1−xLix)(Mg1−xScx)GeO4:Cr3+ has potential applications as light sources for nondestructive food analysis.

Nondestructive analysis of historical objects is of significance for cultural heritage conservation. In this paper, terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) was used to distinguish seven red mineral pigments used in ancient Chinese artworks. Two absorption features of natural minerals HgS and four highly resolved spectral features of mineral pigment Pb 3 O 4 were observed and identified as their fingerprints in the range 0.2 to 3.0 THz, based on which the spatial distribution of individual chemical substances including cinnabar, vermilion, and red lead were clearly revealed at various frequencies using terahertz spectroscopy imaging. Moreover, a noncontact evaluation of thickness changing and dehydration of a wet painting was monitored by inferring time delay as well as signal amplitude of THz pulses transmitted through the painting. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of THz-TDS and THz imaging for authentic artworks detection, a complete set of THz analysis of two nineteenth century wall paintings discovered in the Fuchen Temple of the Forbidden City, Beijing, was performed and the results indicate that THz measurement techniques provide a noninvasive and nondestructive solution for the care, preservation, and restoration of cultural relics.

Non-destructive analysis of cells at the molecular level is of critical importance for cell research. At present, immunoassay-based and aptamer-based methods can achieve non-structural destructive cell analysis, but still lead to changes in cells at the molecular level. Here, we have proposed a dual-terminal amplification (DTA) strategy, which enables nondestructive analysis of membrane protein MUC1 without the effect on protein expression and cell viability in living cells. Methods : A fluorophore (Cy5)-labeled DNA ternary complex consisting of three oligonucleotides is designed. It can recognize MUC1 through its aptamer region, and thus make the MUC1 of cells visible under a fluorescence microscope. When DNA polymerase is added, dual-terminal amplification is performed. One direction dissociates aptamer from MUC1, and the other direction, also known as rolling circle amplification (RCA), produces long linear DNA strands, which can be further adopted for quantitative analysis of MUC1. In this way, all reagents are removed from the surface of the cells after the analysis, which allows nondestructive analysis. We named this strategy dual-terminal amplification (DTA) analysis. Results : By using the DTA analysis, both in situ fluorescence imaging analysis and ex situ fluorescence quantitative analysis of MUC1 were achieved. In addition, the aptamer-containing DNA ternary complex stays on cell surface only during the analysis and leaves the cell after the analysis is complete. The cells can be maintained in a non-interfering state for the rest of the time. So after the analysis, it is found that there are no effect on the physiological activity of cells and the expression of target protein even after two rounds of repeatable imaging and quantitative analysis. Conclusion : In summary, we have successfully constructed a strategy for nondestructive analysis of membrane protein in living cells. We believe that this method provides a promising way for the analysis of the key membrane proteins of cells and the versatile utilization of precious cell samples.

Flavonoids are a class of natural polyphenolic compounds with great health benefits, and the development of methods for their analysis is of continuing interest. In this work, apigenin, kaempferol and formononetin were selected as the typical representatives of flavone, flavonol and isoflavone, three subclasses of flavonoids. Fluorescence studies revealed that tetraborate complexation could significantly sensitize the weak intrinsic fluorescence of flavonoids in solution, with a maximum of 137-fold for kaempferol. Subsequently, an integrated strategy of derivatization and separation was proposed for the universal analysis of flavonoids by capillary electrophoresis (CE) with 405 nm laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. Using a running buffer consisting of 20 mM sodium tetraborate, 10 mM SDS and 10% methanol (pH 8.5), the dynamic derivatization was realized in the capillary, and the baseline separation was achieved within 10 min, with the detection limits of 0.92–35.46 nM (S/N=3) for the total of 9 flavonoids. The developed CE-LIF method was employed to the quantitative analysis of some flavonoids in Medicago sativa (alfalfa) plants and granulated alfalfa with the recoveries of 80.55–94.25%. Combined with the principal component analysis, the developed method was successfully applied to the non-destructive distinction of single seed for alfalfa and Melilotus officinalis (sweet clover), two forage grass seeds with very similar apparent morphology. Furthermore, this method was used to continuously monitor the substance metabolism during the soaking process at the level of single seed.
