Anti-Stokes fluorescence induced by near-IR (NIR) radiation is particularly advantageous for the bioassay of complex samples, but most of the commonly used NIR-induced fluorescence nanomaterials such as up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) do not exhibit satisfactory fluorescence intensity and work against achieving a highly sensitive bioassay. In this study, we a construct sensitive and specific bacteria biosensor based on the NIR-stimulated CaS: Eu, Sm, Mn and SrS: Ce, Sm, Mn nanoparticles. The fluorescent nanoparticles are conjugated with bacteria recognition fragments. In addition, the inde...
