Montmorillonite-supramolecular hydrogel hybrid for fluorocolorimetric sensing of polyamines.
Fluorescent sensor materials for rapidly and conveniently detecting polyamines in biological fluids are highly desirable for cancer diagnosis. We herein describe the hybridization of a supramolecular hydrogel with a layered inorganic host adsorbing a fluorescent dye which produces a fluorocolorimetric sensor for spermine and spermidine, important biomarkers for cancers, in artificial urine.
