Ratio-type nano silicon quantum dot fluorescence probe and preparation method and application thereof

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of nano material science and molecular biology, and particularly relates to a ratio-type nano silicon quantum dot fluorescence probe and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps that a one-pot method is adopted, triaminopropyl-triethoxysilane is reduced with sodium ascorbate at room temperature, and water-soluble silicon quantum dots are obtained; the water-soluble silicon quantum dots and chlorin e6 (Ce6) are mixed and subjected to standing at the room temperature under the lucifugal condition, and a silicon quantum dot and chlorin e6 composite material is obtained. The composite material emits fluorescence with the wavelength of 430 nm-580 nm and the wavelength of 640 nm-680 nm under the fluorescence excitation of 410 nm, and active oxygen radicals can specifically quench fluorescence of silicon quanta and basically have no influence on fluorescence of Ce6. Therefore, the composite material can serve as a ratio-type nano silicon quantum dot fluorescence probe to be used for detecting the content of hydroxyl radicals (-OH), rapidness and high efficiency are achieved, the specificity is high, the sensitivity is high, the probe is used for in-vivo cell imaging, the biocompatibility is good, and the visual degree is high.
