Overview
A BODIPY dye combined with sporopollenin (a biopolymer from pollen exine) was used as a fluorescence sensor for Hg2+ detection in tap water. The paper focuses on sensor development; no food matrix samples are reported.
Key numbers
- LOD, linear range, and selectivity data in full paper.
- Tap water validation only.
Methods (brief)
BODIPY-sporopollenin fluorescence sensing for total Hg2+. No speciation (does not distinguish MeHg from inorganic Hg). Water matrix only.
Implications
Certification: Method development; no food data. Courses: Demonstrates biopolymer-based fluorescence sensing platforms for heavy metals.
