Highly sensitive and selective optosensing of quercetin based on novel complexation with yttrium ions

Abstract

is deposited as an input. In addition, the color change of the paper ribbon was identified using a smartphone via the hue values of the photographs. The limits of detection for quercetin using spectroscopy, a smartphone, and a custom-built reader were calculated to be 27, 110, and 129 nM, respectively. The use of a custom-built device and a smartphone for detecting quercetin via fluorescence from the prepared paper ribbon reduces the time and cost of quercetin detection. This approach could be employed for on-site sensing of quercetin in real samples.
