Nitrosamines are genotoxic, mutagenic impurities and are widely encountered in the global landscape of the pharmaceutical industry. There is a need for rapid detection of nitrosamines in a pharmaceutical product. Here, we report the synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using a readily available carbon precursor. These CQDs showed attractive fluorescence properties and were employed to fabricate a portable device for the fluorometric detection of nitrosamine impurities in a drug matrix.
亚硝胺是具有基因毒性、致突变性的杂质,在全球制药行业中广泛存在。需要快速检测药品中的亚硝胺。在此,我们报道了使用一种易得的碳前驱体合成碳量子点(CQDs)。这些碳量子点表现出引人注目的荧光特性,并被用于制造一种便携式装置,用于荧光检测药物基质中的亚硝胺杂质。
