Serotonin-Derived Fluorophore: A Novel Fluorescent Biomaterial for Copper Detection in Urine

We took advantage of the fluorescent features of a serotonin-derived fluorophore to develop a simple and low-cost assay for copper in urine. The quenching-based fluorescence assay linearly responds within the concentration range of clinical interest in buffer and in artificial urine, showing very go...
