A kind of surface coating method of up-conversion fluorescence nano material
Technical field
The invention belongs to photonics and materialogy interleaving techniques field, be specifically related to the surface coating method of up-conversion fluorescence nano material.
Background technology
Up-conversion fluorescence nano material is as the novel fluorescent agent of a class, has that near infrared excites, high signal to noise ratio, the advantages such as hypotoxicity, bio-imaging particularly living body biological imaging side mask have unique advantage.The synthetic method of existing up-conversion fluorescence nano material is mainly to adopt oleic acid as tensio-active agent, and the up-conversion fluorescence nano material of preparing can be dispersed in organic solvent, is but difficult for being dispersed in water surrounding.Therefore, by up-conversion fluorescence Application of micron in bio-imaging, just need more be coated it, improve on the one hand the stability of material in the aqueous solution, improve on the one hand its biological suitability.At present common up-conversion fluorescence nano material is coated is mainly the coated two kinds of methods of coated with silica and high molecular polymer.The ultimate principle of coated with silica is to utilize tetraethoxy, at nano-material surface, self hydrolysis reaction formation layer of silicon dioxide occurs, and main chemical reactions equation is as follows:
Si(OC
2H
5)+2H
2O

5OH
Up-conversion fluorescence nano material after coated with silica can be good be dispersed in the aqueous solution, on silicon dioxide layer surface, can carry out easily the modification of functionalization group, the application coated at material surfaces such as organic dye, metallic particles, quantum dots is also very extensive simultaneously.High molecular polymer is coated is mainly to adopt coprecipitation method, at the coated hydrophilic high molecular polymer of one deck of nano-material surface, thereby improves stability and the bio-compatibility of nano material in the aqueous solution.It is pointed out that above-mentioned two kinds of method for coating all exist some shortcomings:
1. the existence of silicon dioxide layer has increased the size of material, is unfavorable for material circulation in vivo, easily by immunity system, caught, and also comparatively complicated in the program of nano grain surface coated silica, there is suitable difficulty and diversity in reaction process.
2. adopt coprecipitation method effectively not connect the coated high molecular polymer of nano-material surface is intermolecular, the less stable of surface coating layer, is difficult to adapt to complicated organism environment.
3. no matter being silicon-dioxide or high molecular polymer, is not the material having in organism self, has certain limitation aspect bio-compatibility.
Based on above some consideration, study a kind of more simple up-conversion fluorescence nano material method for coating efficient, that bio-compatibility is high and seem very necessary.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is the thinking of the up-conversion fluorescence nano material method for coating based on research is simple efficiently, bio-compatibility is good just, adopt bovine serum albumin as tensio-active agent, in the tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water mixed liquid of ultrasonic dispersion, utilizing anti-solvent method to carry out bovine serum albumin to up-conversion fluorescence nano-material surface is coated, add subsequently glutaraldehyde that the bovine serum albumin molecule of nano-material surface is connected, improve the stability of surface coating layer.The surperficial coating of wherein using is the protein molecular extracting in organism, has high bio-compatibility, for utilizing up-conversion fluorescence nano material to carry out carrying out of living imaging research, has created facility.
Up-conversion fluorescence nano material method for coating step of the present invention is as follows:
1. according to quality ratio up-conversion fluorescence nano material (UCNPs) powder: bovine serum albumin (BSA) powder is that 1:1~1.1 take these two kinds of powder and put into respectively two centrifuge tubes.In the centrifuge tube that UCNPs powder is housed, add a certain amount of tetrahydrofuran (THF) ultrasonic dispersion 1~2 minute, obtain the tetrahydrofuran solution that UCNPs concentration is 1~1.1mg/mL.In the centrifuge tube that BSA powder is housed, add a certain amount of deionized water ultrasonic dispersion 1~2 minute, obtain the aqueous solution that BSA concentration is 1~1.1mg/mL.
2. the centrifuge tube that UCNPs solution is housed is placed in to ultrasonic cleaning machine, the aqueous solution of BSA is dropwise added wherein.In this process, BSA molecule, by the anti-solvation in tetrahydrofuran (THF)-water mixed liquid, is coated to up-conversion fluorescence nano material outside surface.
3. after the BSA aqueous solution dropwises, in mixing solutions, add 8~10 microlitre glutaraldehyde solutions, then, by solution left standstill 24~36 hours, make glutaraldehyde follow the full cross-linked reaction of BSA molecule, form and stablize fine and close coating layer.
4. pair mixing solutions carries out centrifugal treating, gets bottom settlings and is re-dispersed in deionized water, and repeated centrifugation, dispersion process, be then placed in air drying by the precipitation finally obtaining, and can obtain the coated up-conversion fluorescence nano material pressed powder of BSA.
Realizing the coated required reagent of up-conversion fluorescence nano material method of above-mentioned BSA comprises: oil soluble up-conversion fluorescence nano material powder, bovine serum albumin powder, glutaraldehyde, tetrahydrofuran (THF).Required experimental installation equipment comprises: ultrasonic cleaner, whizzer, liquid-transfering gun.
The bovine serum albumin that the inventive method adopts, as the outer coating of up-conversion fluorescence nano material, utilizes glutaraldehyde that bovine serum albumin is molecule crosslinked, forms fine and close outer clad structure, makes nano material have stable chemical property.Meanwhile, bovine serum albumin, as naturally occurring protein molecular in a kind of organism, has better bio-compatibility than traditional coating materials such as silicon-dioxide or polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG), in bio-imaging field, has broad application prospects.
