Fluorescence sensing of microplastics on surfaces
AI summary Read the abstract
Fluorescence techniques using Nile Red and pyrene as polarity probes can detect polystyrene microplastics directly on surfaces such as sand and sea salt, with a detection limit of approximately 0.2 micrograms per gram on sea salt. While relatively low in selectivity, this rapid method offers a practical tool for environmental screening and risk assessment of microplastic contamination in coastal and marine settings.
Innovative portable microplastic detector using a continuous flow technique with fluorescence Nile red–graphene oxide
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a portable, semi-automated microplastic detection system combining continuous flow sample processing, Nile red/graphene oxide fluorescent staining with fourfold enhanced signal, and a handheld sensor, achieving reliable quantification of polyethylene down to 0.1 mg. The instrument's portability and speed could enable field-level microplastic monitoring in water supplies and environmental settings where laboratory analysis is impractical or unavailable.
