A novel "turn-on" aptasensor for kanamycin (Kana) detection based on a new Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) pair is reported. A new organic small molecule was employed as a high-efficiency quencher for fluorophore. Based on specific interactions between ssDNA and the quencher, an ingenious and amplified strategy was designed. In the absence of the target, the fluorescence of the fluorophore labeled at the end of the aptamer was quenched. After the binding of the aptamer to the target, the fluorescence was recovered and amplified. The proposed aptasensor showed high specificity, selectivity, and stability in complicated systems. With the P3-based strategy, the limit of detection for Kana is estimated to be 10 nM, which is much lower than the maximum allowable concentration in milk. The recoveries of spiked Kana in milk were in the range 99.8 ~ 105.3% (n = 3). Fortunately, this novel method can be easily extended to other antibiotics such as tobramycin by simply replacing the aptamer, showing great potential as a universal platform for selective, sensitive, and rapid detection of hazardous analytes in food samples.

The development of an innovative approach is explored to amplify the signal of a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based detection system using a novel nanotag: Au@Ag NPs covered by satellite AuNPs and conjugated by 4-mercaptbenzoic acid (4-MBA) as a Raman tag (Au@Ag-MBA-AuNPs). The Au@Ag-MBA-AuNPs nanotags showed strong SERS activities with an enhancement factor in the 108 order of magnitude. This indicates the formation of many hot spots due to the combination of core-shell nanoparticles and satellite AuNPs on the surface of Au@Ag-MBA NPs. The newly fabricated nanotags were employed in a small-sized Palmtop Raman spectrometer. A concentration-dependent increase in SERS intensity was observed in the norovirus-like particle (NoV-LP) concentration range 10 fg/mL to 100 pg/mL with a detection limit of 0.76 fg/mL. Even in the severe interfering matrices, this detection method's coefficient of variation was less than 10%. This detection system was approximately 107 times more sensitive than commercially available ELISA kits. Norovirus in clinical samples was detected over a wide concentration range of 1.0 × 101 - 1.0 × 106 RNA copy number/mL with a detection limit of 7.8 RNA copy number/mL, indicating sensitivity comparable to real-time PCR. These results suggest that this detection system is stable in a complex matrix and has the potential for detecting norovirus in clinical samples with a small Palmtop Raman spectrometer.

An innovative supramolecular architecture is reported for bienzymatic glucose biosensing based on the use of a nanohybrid made of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) non-covalently functionalized with a Schiff base modified with two phenylboronic acid residues (SB-dBA) as platform for the site-specific immobilization of the glycoproteins glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The analytical signal was obtained from amperometric experiments at - 0.050 V in the presence of 5.0 × 10-4 M hydroquinone as redox mediator. The concentration of GOx and HRP and the interaction time between the enzymes and the nanohybrid MWCNT-SB-dBA deposited at glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) were optimized through a central composite design (CCD)/response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal concentrations of GOx and HRP were 3.0 mg mL-1 and 1.50 mg mL-1, respectively, while the optimum interaction time was 3.0 min. The bienzymatic biosensor presented a sensitivity of (24 ± 2) × 102 µA dL mg-1 ((44 ± 4) × 102 µA M-1), a linear range between 0.06 mg dL-1 and 21.6 mg dL-1 (3.1 µM-1.2 mM) (R2 = 0.9991), and detection and quantification limits of 0.02 mg dL-1 (1.0 µM) and 0.06 mg dL-1 (3.1 µM), respectively. The reproducibility for five sensors prepared with the same MWCNT-SB-dBA nanohybrid was 6.3%, while the reproducibility for sensors prepared with five different nanohybrids and five electrodes each was 7.9%. The GCE/MWCNT-SB-dBA/GOx-HRP was successfully used for the quantification of glucose in artificial human urine and commercial human serum samples.

Lateral flow assay (LFA) color signal quantification methods were developed by utilizing both International Commission on Illumination (CIE) LAB (CIELAB) color space and grayscale intensity differences. The CIELAB image processing procedure included calibration, test, control band detection, and color difference calculation, which can minimize the noise from the background. The LFA platform showcases its ability to accurately discern relevant colorimetric signals. The rising occurrence of infectious outbreaks from foodborne pathogens like Salmonella typhimurium presents significant economic, healthcare, and public health risks. The study introduces an aptamer-based lateral flow (ABLF) platform by using inkjet printing for specially detecting S. typhimurium. The ABLF utilized gold-decorated polystyrene microparticles, functionalized with specific S. typhimurium aptamers (Ps-AuNPs-ssDNA). The platform demonstrates a detection limit of 102 CFU mL-1 in buffer solutions and 103 CFU mL-1 in romaine lettuce tests. Furthermore, it sustained performance for over 8 weeks at room temperature. The ABLF platform and analysis methods are expected to effectively resolve the low-sensitivity problems of the former LFA systems and to bridge the gap between lab-scale platforms to market-ready solutions by offering a simple, cost-effective, and consistent approach to detecting foodborne pathogens in real samples.

A novel signal amplification strategy was developed by combining near-infrared light with MoS2/CuO/Au nanocomposite for building a colorimetric immunoassay. First, MoS2/CuO/Au nanocomposite was synthesized by precipitation and photoreduction methods and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). MoS2/CuO/Au nanocomposite has oxidase-like activity and can oxidize TMB to form a blue product (TMBox). Further, the catalytic oxidation of TMB was accelerated under near-infrared (NIR) laser radiation. The sandwich-type colorimetric immunoassay was constructed using MoS2/CuO/Au nanocomposite. Under the enhancement of near-infrared light, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was sensitively detected in the range 0.1 to 40 ng/mL with the limit of detection of 0.03 ng/mL. Moreover, the immunosensor has excellent selectivity and anti-interference, good repeatability, and stability.

. A sandwich-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor based on a ZnO/poly(5-formylindole) (P5FIn)/anthocyanin heterostructure was developed to achieve sensitive background-free detection of the tumor marker CYFRA21-1. ZnO with good photovoltaic properties is combined with narrow bandgap P5FIn to form a p-n type heterojunction. This structure reduces the electron-hole pair recombination, thereby enhancing the photocurrent response of the composite. Anthocyanidins are environmentally friendly natural compounds with excellent antioxidant, redox properties, and remarkable electrochemical activity. After sensitization by anthocyanins, the absorption and utilization of visible light in the composites are enhanced, further improving the PEC luminescence efficiency of the materials. Additionally, boron nitride quantum dots (BN QDs) are combined with Ab2 via polydopamine (PDA) as a secondary antibody marker, enhancing its sensitivity. The biosensor exhibited a linear detection range of 0.001-100 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.00033 ng mL-1. Furthermore, this biosensor demonstrates excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability, as well as successful results in analyzing actual human serum samples. This approach provides a feasible method for tumor marker detection.

N-doped hollow carbon spheres (NHCSs) with different shell thicknesses are constructed using various amounts of SiO2 precursor. An interconnected framework with diminished wall thickness ensures an efficient and continuous electron transport which helps to enhance the performance of NHCS. Improvement of the electrocatalytic performance was shown in the determination of antibiotic drug chloramphenicol (CAP) due to the unique hollow thin shell morphology, ample defect sites, accessible surface area, higher surface-to-volume ratio and an synergistic effect. Boosted electrocatalytic activity of 1.5 N-doped HCS (1.5 NHCS) was applied to detect CAP with a linear range and detection limit of 1-1150 µM and 0.098 µM (n = 3), respectively, with superior storage stability and considerable sensitivity. These results suggest that the proposed work can be successfully applied to the determination of CAP in milk and water samples.

A novel bacteriophage-targeted electrochemical biosensor designed for accurate and quantitative detection of live Salmonella in food samples is presented. The biosensor is simply constructed by electrostatic immobilizing bacteriophages on MXene-nanostructured electrodes. MXene, renowned for its high surface area, biocompatibility, and conductivity, serves as an ideal platform for bacteriophage immobilization. This allows for a high-density immobilization of bacteriophage particles, achieving approximately 71 pcs μm-2. Remarkably, the bacteriophages immobilized MXene nanostructured electrodes still maintain their viability and functionality, ensuring their effectiveness in pathogen detection. Therefore, the proposed biosensor exhibited enhanced sensitivity with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 5 CFU mL-1. Notably, the biosensor shows excellent specificity in the presence of other bacteria that commonly contaminate food and can distinguish live Salmonella from a mixed population. Furthermore, it is applicable in detecting live Salmonella in food samples, which highlights its potential in food safety monitoring. This biosensor offers simplicity, convenience, and suitability for resource-limited environments, making it a promising tool for on-site monitoring of foodborne pathogenic bacteria.

MXene, renowned for its high surface area, biocompatibility, and conductivity, serves as an ideal platform for bacteriophage immobilization. This allows for a high-density immobilization of bacteriophage particles, achieving approximately 71 pcs μm<sup>-2</sup>. Remarkably, the bacteriophages immobilized MXene nanostructured electrodes still maintain their viability and functionality, ensuring their effectiveness in pathogen detection. Therefore, the proposed biosensor exhibited enhanced sensitivity with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 5 CFU mL<sup>-1</sup>. Notably, the biosensor shows excellent specificity in the presence of other bacteria that commonly contaminate food and can distinguish live Salmonella from a mixed population. Furthermore, it is applicable in detecting live Salmonella in food samples, which highlights its potential in food safety monitoring. This biosensor offers simplicity, convenience, and suitability for resource-limited environments, making it a promising tool for on-site monitoring of foodborne pathogenic bacteria.</p>","PeriodicalId":705,"journal":{"name":"Microchimica Acta","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142015960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Photon-upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) have already been established as labels for affinity assays in analog and digital formats. Here, advanced, or smart, systems based on UCNPs coated with active shells, fluorescent dyes, and metal and semiconductor nanoparticles participating in energy transfer reactions are reviewed. In addition, switching elements can be embedded in such assemblies and provide temporal and spatial control of action, which is important for intracellular imaging and monitoring activities. Demonstration and critical comments on representative approaches demonstrating the progress in the use of such UCNPs in bioanalytical assays, imaging, and monitoring of target molecules in cells are reported, including particular examples in the field of cancer theranostics.
