Summary: A novel colorimetric/fluorescent dual-signal probe (AgNPs-L-Cys-Rh6G2) was developed for copper ion (Cu2+) detection and cell imaging using functionalized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The probe exhibited a dual-signal response to Cu2+ due to rhodamine 6G derivatives' hydrolysis, with high fluorescence response and significant color change. It had a linear detection range of 100-450 μM and 150-650 μM using fluorescent and colorimetry methods, respectively, with low detection limits of 0.169 μM and 1.36 μM. The probe also showed satisfactory recovery and low relative standard deviation for Cu2+ detection in actual sediment, and could be used for fluorescence imaging in HeLa cells.
