The measurement of fluorescence emission for quantitative analysis is typically based on a traditional spectrofluorometer, which limits an onsite detection approach. Thus, an alternative device should be developed for fulfilling this analysis outside of the laboratory. Therefore, a low-cost, portable, and low-energy consumption fluorescence reader-based smartphone device was developed. An ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LED) was used to construct the fluorescence device-based smartphone as a low-power excitation light source. The smartphone camera was used as a detector for detecting photons from the fluorescence emission process of the fluorescence probe and was connected to a digital image platform. Transparent acrylic with orange and yellow colors was employed as a filter for reducing the interference from light source intensity. The obtained digital image was converted to red, green and blue (RGB) intensity using a custom-designed smartphone application. N,S-doped carbon nanodots (N,S-CDs) were demonstrated to be a good fluorescence indicator for determining trace quantities of Mn 2+ in cosmetics. The approach exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity, detecting and quantifying analytes at 1-5 μM concentrations. Furthermore, the method's detection limit of 0.5 μM reflects its capacity to detect trace amounts of a target analyte. Mn 2+ in cosmetic products was successfully analyzed using this device with high accuracy comparable with the results from inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). |
