CdS Quantum dots (QDs) are synthesized in aqueous solution with bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the stabilizing agents using a stepwise procedure at room temperature. They can be used as a new fluorescence probe in the determination of Cu 2+ , which is proved to be a simple, rapid and specific method. Approximate concentrations of other physiologically important cations, such as Zn 2+ , K + etc, have no effect on the fluorescence. Under the optimum condition, the response is linear to the concentration of Cu 2+ in the range of 0‐80.0 μol/L, and the detection limit is 50.0 nmol/L. This method is used to the determination of Cu 2+ in human hair, the recovery is 98‐104%. And the possible detection mechanism is also discussed.
