Terbium(III) and europium(III) ions as luminescent probes and stains for biomolecular systems. 

Until very recently, studies of the use of luminescent lanthanide complexes as biological probes concentrated on the use of terbium and europium complexes. These have emission lines in the visible region of the spectrum, and have long-lived (millisecond timescale) metal-centered emission. The first examples to be studied in detail were complexes of the Lehn cryptand (complexes (20) and (26) in Figure 7),48,50,88 whose luminescence properties have also been applied to bioassay (vide infra). In this case, the europium and terbium ions both have two water molecules... 

Different lanthanide metals also produce different emission spectrums and different intensities of luminescence at their emission maximums. Therefore, the relative sensitivity of time-resolved fluorescence also is dependent on the particular lanthanide element complexed in the chelate. The most popular metals along with the order of brightness for lanthanide chelate fluorescence are europium(III) > terbium(III) > samarium(III) > dysprosium(III). For instance, Huhtinen et al. (2005) found that lanthanide chelate nanoparticles used in the detection of human prostate antigen produced relative signals for detection using europium, terbium, samarium, and dysprosium of approximately 1.0 0.67 0.16 0.01, respectively. The emission... 

Figure 9.53 DPA derivatives have been used as potent enhancers of lanthanide luminescence. Three DPA groups can coordinate with a terbium ion. The iodoacetate derivative of DPA has been used to label covalently molecules for lanthanide luminescence.

When used with europium or terbium ions, a carbostyril-based lanthanide chelate can be excited at 340 nm and provide sharp characteristic emission bands for transfer of energy to the appropriate acceptor fluor. Similar to the TMT chelator described previously, luminescence from terbium FRET signals well with Cy3 dyes and luminescence from europium can be used with APC or Cy5 dyes. Other fluorescent dyes that have similar excitation and emission ranges to these also can be used as acceptors in TR-FRET assays. For instance, terbium chelates can...

In 2000, most European countries switched from their traditional currencies to the euro. Lanthanide luminescence is used as a means of preventing counterfeit euro banknotes from passing into the money chain. Excitation of euro banknotes with ultraviolet light results in fluorescence in the red, green and blue regions due to complexes of europium (Eu3+), terbium (Tb3+) and thulium (Tm3+), respectively, that are present in the banknotes.
