The invention discloses a method for detecting
fluorescence resonance energy transfer by using a water-soluble upconversion
fluorescence nanomaterial as a
fluorescence donor and using a carbon nanomaterial as a fluorescence
receptor. The method comprises the following specific steps: (1) preparing the water-soluble upconversion fluorescence nanomaterial and performing
surface marker to obtain a fluorescence donor solution; (2) preparing the carbon nanomaterial to obtain a fluorescence
receptor solution; (3) mixing the fluorescence donor solution and the fluorescence
receptor solution for incubation and measuring the
fluorescence intensity to obtain a fluorescence
quenching curve; (4) mixing certain-concentration fluorescence donor solution and certain-concentration fluorescence receptor solution for incubation, adding a target object with different concentrations for continuous incubation, measuring the
fluorescence intensity and drawing a
standard curve; (5) calculating the concentration of the target object in an actual sample according to the
standard curve. According to the method, interference of the
background fluorescence of a biological sample can be avoided, detection to serum or the target object in a
whole blood sample can be directly realized, the washing and separation processes are not needed, the detection speed is high, and the cost is low.
