MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531002334 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Kharagpur, West Bengal, on Jan. 10, 2025, for 'highly water-stable 2d mof as dual sensor for the ultra-sensitive aqueous phase detection of nitrofuran antibiotics and organochlorine pesticides.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Madhab C Das; Supriya Mondal; and Rupam Sahoo.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Highly Water-Stable 2D MOF as Dual Sensor for the Ultra-Sensitive Aqueous Phase Detection of Nitrofuran Antibiotics and Organochlorine Pesticides A 2D chemically robust MOF, {[Cd(MBPz)(2,6-NDC)]*2H2O}n is strategically developed with ease having scalability and exploited as dual sensors toward the nitrofuran antibiotics and organochlorine pesticide detection via luminescence quenching in aqueous medium. The MOF framework displays exceptional chemical robustness in water (for 3 months), open-air (for 2 months), a wide range of aqueous pH solutions (pH=3-12 for 24 h) and in presence of targeted analytes (for 15 days). The developed MOF can selectively quench the NFZ and NFT antibiotics and DCN pesticide with high sensitivity, great anti-interfering properties, fast responsivity, and excellent recyclability, which highlights the superiority of the developed sensor in this direction."
