Application N1-(7-Nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)-N1,N2,N2-tris(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine has a high sensitivity for zinc ions. Using fluorescent detection, a linear responsive is observed for Zn2+ con-cen-trations in the range of 1-10 μM. It has good selectivity for Zn2+ in the presence of competing metal ions, such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, and Mn2+,1 and has been used in vivo to determine Zn2+ concentration in pancreatic β cells1 and zebra fish larvae.2 |
