Abstract
Antibiotics are considered emerging pollutants which indiscriminate use has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, while their improper disposal has caused adverse effects to the environment and human health. Thus, the development of devices or techniques capable of detecting antibiotics with high sensitivity, low detection limits, and reasonable cost becomes of prime importance. In this work, an electronic tongue (e-tongue) based on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and graphene oxide (GO) was developed and employed to detect four distinct antibiotics, namely cloxacillin benzathine, erythromycin, streptomycin sulfate, and tetracycline hydrochloride. The five sensing units of the e-tongue were obtained using the drop-casting method to modify gold interdigitated electrodes with MoS2 and GO. Using Principal Component Analysis to process the experimental data allowed the e-tongue to recognize samples contaminated with distinct antibiotics at varied concentrations from 0.5 to 5.0 nmol L-1. Analyses with real samples were also performed using river water and human urine and the electronic tongue was able to differentiate the samples at a nanomolar level. The proposed system represents a sensitive and low-cost alternative for antibiotic analyses in different liquid media.

Abstract
Combining nanomaterials in varying morphology and functionalities gives rise to a new class of composite materials leading to innovative applications. In this study, we designed a heterostructured hybrid material consisting of two-dimensional bismuth nanosheets augmented by molecularly imprinted networks. Antibiotic overuse is now one of the main concerns in health management, and their monitoring is highly desirable but challenging. So, for this purpose, the resulting composite interface was used as a transducer for quartz crystal microbalances. The main objective was to develop highly selective mass-sensitive sensor for chloramphenicol. Morphological investigation revealed the presence of ultrathin, square shaped nanosheets, 2-3 nm in height and further supplemented by imprinted polymers. Sensor responses are described as the decrease in the frequency of microbalances owing to chloramphenicol re-binding in the templated cavities, yielding a detection limit down to 0.74 μM. This sensor demonstrated a 100 % specific detection of chloramphenicol over its interfering and structural analogs (clindamycin, thiamphenicol, and florfenicol). This composite interface offers the advantage of selective binding and excellent sensitivity due to special heterostructured morphology, in addition to benefits of robustness and online monitoring. The results suggest that such composite-based sensors can be favorable platforms, especially for commercial prospects, to obtain selective detection of other biomolecules of clinical importance.

Abstract
A novel ratiometric fluorescent probe for the determination of oxytetracycline (OTC) was developed. The method is based on the use of adenosine monophosphate/Eu(III) nanoscale coordination polymers doped with carbon dots (CDs) (CD@AMP/Eu NCPs). These were fabricated by self-assembly of Eu3+ and AMP on the surface of CDs containing large amounts of hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. Under the excitation at 310 nm wavelength, the doped NCPs display strong pink emission of Eu3+ at 615 nm and blue emission of the CDs at 430 nm on exposure to OTC. The ratio of fluorescence intensity (F615/F430) of such NCPs displays excellent linear relationship with OTC concentration ranging from 0.2 to 60 μM and the limit of detection (LOD) is 25 nM (3σ). The doped NCPs were evenly immobilized on common filter paper to prepare a visual ratiometric probe for the determination of OTC. Assisted by a digital camera with an APP color detector, the paper-based test strip was applied for the quantitative determination of OTC with a LOD of 0.5 μM and a wide linear scope of 1-100 μM. The method was applied to the determination of OTC in milk samples.

Abstract
A novel tantalum pentoxide nanoparticle-electrochemically reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon electrode (Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE) was developed for the detection of oxytetracycline in milk. The composition, structure and morphology of GO, Ta2O5, and Ta2O5-ErGO were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Oxytetracycline electrochemical behavior on the bare GCE, GO/GCE, ErGO/GCE, and Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The voltammetric conditions (including scan rate, pH, deposition potential, and deposition time) were systematically optimized. With the spacious electrochemical active area, the Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE showed a great magnification of the oxidation signal of oxytetracycline, while that of the other electrodes (GCE, GO/GCE, ErGO/GCE) could not reach the same level. Under the optimum conditions, the currents were proportional to the oxytetracycline concentration in the range from 0.2 to 10 μM, and a low detection limit of 0.095 μM (S/N = 3) was detectable. Moreover, the proposed Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE performed practically with satisfactory results. The preparation of Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE in the current work provides a minor outlook of detecting trace oxytetracycline in milk.

Abstract
DNA hydrogels as special members in the DNA nanotechnology have provided crucial prerequisites to create innovative gels owing to their sufficient stability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and tunable multifunctionality. These properties have tailored DNA hydrogels for various applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, sensors, and cancer therapy. Recently, DNA-based materials have attracted substantial consideration for the exploration of smart hydrogels, in which their properties can change in response to chemical or physical stimuli. In other words, these gels can undergo switchable gel-to-sol or sol-to-gel transitions upon application of different triggers. Moreover, various functional motifs like i-motif structures, antisense DNAs, DNAzymes, and aptamers can be inserted into the polymer network to offer a molecular recognition capability to the complex. In this manuscript, a comprehensive discussion will be endowed with the recognition capability of different kinds of DNA hydrogels and the alternation in physicochemical behaviors upon target introducing. Finally, we offer a vision into the future landscape of DNA based hydrogels in sensing applications.

Abstract
Digital health promises a paradigm shift for medicine where biomarkers in individuals are continuously monitored to improve diagnosis and treatment of disease. To that end, a technology for minimally invasive quantification of endogenous analytes in bodily fluids will be required. Here, we describe a strategy for designing and fabricating hydrogel microfilaments that can penetrate the skin while allowing for optical fluorescence sensing. The polyacrylamide formulation was selected to provide high elastic modulus in the dehydrated state and optical transparency in the hydrated state. The microfilaments can be covalently tethered to a fluorescent aptamer to enable functional sensing. The microfilament array can penetrate the skin with low pain and without breaking, contact the dermal interstitial fluid, and be easily removed from the skin. In the future, hydrogel microfilaments could be integrated with a wearable fluorometer to serve as a platform for continuous, minimally invasive monitoring of intradermal biomarkers.

Abstract
A label-free method for sulfadimethoxine (SDM) detection using an aptamer-based liquid crystal biosensor is developed. The sensor probe is fabricated by immobilizing amine-functionalized aptamers onto the glass slide decorating mixed self-assembled layers of triethoxysilylbutyraldehyde (TEA) and N,N-dimethyl-n-octadecyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilylchloride (DMOAP). Liquid crystals (LCs) are supported on the surface and serve as response elements, which assume the homeotropic alignment and cause a dark optical appearance under crossed polarizers. In the presence of SDM, the formation of SDM-aptamer compounds induces a notable change in the topographical structure of the surface, which disturbs the original homeotropic orientation of LCs and results in a bright optical appearance. A detection limit of 10 μg L-1 is obtained, which is far lower than the maximum residue limit (100 μg L-1 in China). This facile method shows good specificity for SDM detection and may have great potential for detecting other small molecules.

Abstract
Antibiotics are one of the emerging contaminants in water, which have a great impact on ecosystems and human health. It has been challenging to simultaneously realize low-cost, rapid, highly sensitive and selective detection of antibiotics with conventional methods. Here, we report luminescent chemosensors for detecting antibiotics in water, based on metal-organic framework (MOF), i.e., zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), loaded with rhodamine B (RhB) and fluorescein disodium salt (FSS) dyes. Compared with ZIF-8, the fluorescence signals of RhB@ZIF-8 and FSS@ZIF-8 were significantly improved and presented ultrahigh sensitivity to nitrofurans (NFAs) and tetracyclines (TCs) with fluorescence quenching and fluorescence enhancement in water, respectively. The unique structures and properties of RhB@ZIF-8 and FSS@ZIF-8 lead to outstanding sensitivities in antibiotic detection. For instance, the RhB@ZIF-8 sensor shows the lower limit of detection (LOD) of 0.26 μM to nitrofurantoin (NFT), 0.47 μM to nitrofurazone (NFZ), 0.11 μM to tetracycline (TC), and 0.14 μM to oxytetracycline (OTC); while the FSS@ZIF-8 sensor shows the LOD of 0.31 μM to NFT, 0.35 μM to NFZ, 0.17 μM to TC, and 0.16 μM to OTC. In addition, NFT and TC were also successfully detected by FSS@ZIF-8 in water from real water environment. The results indicate that dye@MOF-based luminescent composites are favorable for antibiotic detection, presenting great potentials in water quality monitoring.

Abstract
Porous organic framework (COF) nanomaterials have drawn increasing attention and showed promising potential in the applications of various fields. Nevertheless, its applications in biosensing or biomedical fields are still in the early stage. In this work, we designed and synthesized a series of nanohybrids of COF and Ce-based metal organic framework (Ce-MOF) for the first time as label-free bioplatforms for a sensitive electrochemical aptasensor to detect oxytetracycline (OTC). A novel kinds of Ce-MOF@COF hybrids were prepared by adding different dosages of COF, into the preparation system of Ce-MOF, for which COF was synthesized using melamine and cyanutic acidmonomers through polycondensation (represented by MCA). Basic characterizations revealed that Ce-MOF@MCA nanohybrids not only remained their orignal crystal and chemical structure and features, such as different Ce species containing in Ce-MOF (Ce3+ and Ce4+), various functional amino-groups of MCA, and individual frameworks, but also showed a large specific surface area and interpenetrated morphologies. As a result, the Ce-MOF@MCA hybrid with high content of MCA exhibited high bioaffinity toward the OTC-targeted aptamer, further leading to the incremental detection effect for OTC detection. Among different hybrid-based aptasensors, the Ce-MOF@MCA-based one with an MCA dosage of 500 mg exhibited the lowest limit of detection at 17.4 fg mL-1 within a wider linearity of the OTC concentration within 0.1-0.5 ng mL-1. Additionally, the fabricated aptasensor displayed excellent analytical performance with great reproducibility, high selectivity and stability, and acceptable applicability for detecting OTC in various aqueous solutions, including milk, wastewater, and urine samples. This new Ce-MOF@MCA hybrid will become an excellent aptasensors platform for detecting various analytes, such as antibiotics, heavy metal ions, or cancer markers, and it have shown the promissing application potentials in the fields of biomedicine, food safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
This work describes the integration of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) by codeposition of a hybrid consisting of reduced graphene oxide and silver on silver-copper alloy fibers. The morphology and structure of the coating were characterized by a variety of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques that confirmed the hybrid structure of the material. A galvanic-displacement-induced process is assumed to be involved during the codeposition of the hybrid coating on the alloy. In this process, Ag(I) is reduced to Ag(0) by Cu(0), and the presence of conjugated domains in GO facilitates the long-range transfer of electrons from Cu to Ag+. Simultaneously, GO accepts electrons and is converted into RGO. The hybrid coating exhibits a high SERS enhancement factor and good spatial uniformity. The needle-like coated alloy fibers are shown to be a viable tool for non-destructive sampling and SERS-based determination of trace levels of the antibiotics sulfadiazine and sulfamethoxazole in a spiked tissue mimic. The SERS peaks at 1149 cm-1 for sulfadiazine and 1144 cm-1 for sulfamethoxazole are selected as the reference peaks in the quantitative analysis. The linear range is from 0.01 to 100 μg·cm-3. The detection limits are 1.9 ng·cm-3 for sulfadiazine and 4.4 ng·cm-3 for sulfamethoxazole.

Abstract
Background:
In order to realize current aminoglycosides supervision in food and environment,
our team improved the sensitivity and separation efficiency of the portable ITO detector, based on
the technology of microchip capillary electrophoresis and contactless conductivity detection.
Experiment:
Parameters (the separation voltage, buffer concentration, electrodes gap, elicitation frequency,
elicitation voltage) were optimized for the detection of three aminoglycosides, gentamicin,
kanamycin and streptomycin and the separation of their mixture in background electrolyte consists of
2-(N-Morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid (MES) and L-Histidine (His). The enhanced method was also
applied to other types of aminoglycosides.
Results:
Under optimal conditions, the monitoring of three types of aminoglycosides obtained such a
sensitive response that the limits of detection of gentamicin sulfate, kanamycin sulfate and streptomycin
sulfate were calculated as 3.1 µg/ml, 0.89 µg/ml and 0.96 µg/ml, at signal-to-noise ratio 3, respectively.
In addition they got separated completely from each other only in 40 s. The results of other varieties of
aminoglycosides including tobramycin sulfate and amikacin sulfate also met the standard.
Conclusion:
We successfully proposed here an unprecedentedly portable, miniaturized and rapid
microchip capillary electrophoresis contactless conductivity detection system to realize current
aminoglycosides supervision in food and environment.

Abstract
There is a growing need to monitor anthropogenic organic contaminants detected in water sources. DNA aptamers are synthetic single-stranded oligonucleotides, selected to bind to target contaminants with favorable selectivity and sensitivity. These aptamers can be functionalized and are used with a variety of sensing platforms to develop sensors, or aptasensors. In this critical review, we (1) identify the state-of-the-art in DNA aptamer selection, (2) evaluate target and aptamer properties that make for sensitive and selective binding and sensing, (3) determine strengths and weaknesses of alternative sensing platforms, and (4) assess the potential for aptasensors to quantify environmentally relevant concentrations of organic contaminants in water. Among a suite of target and aptamer properties, binding affinity is either directly (e.g., organic carbon partition coefficient) or inversely (e.g., polar surface area) correlated to properties that indicate greater target hydrophobicity results in the strongest binding aptamers, and binding affinity is correlated to aptasensor limits of detection. Electrochemical-based aptasensors show the greatest sensitivity, which is similar to ELISA-based methods. Only a handful of aptasensors can detect organic pollutants at environmentally relevant concentrations, and interference from structurally similar analogs commonly present in natural waters is a yet-to-be overcome challenge. These findings lead to recommendations to improve aptasensor performance.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance and, accordingly, their pollution because of uncontrolled usage has emerged as a serious problem in recent years. Hence, there is an increased demand to develop robust, easy, and sensitive methods for rapid evaluation of antibiotics and their residues. Among different analytical methods, the aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have attracted considerable attention because of good selectivity, specificity, and sensitivity. This review gives an overview about recently-developed aptasensors for antibiotic detection. The use of various aptamer assays to determine different groups of antibiotics, like β-lactams, aminoglycosides, anthracyclines, chloramphenicol, (fluoro)quinolones, lincosamide, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides are presented in this paper.

Abstract
Graphene oxide and graphene quantum dots are attractive fluorophores that are inexpensive, nontoxic, photostable, water-soluble, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly. They find extensive applications in fluorescent biosensors and chemosensors, in which they serve as either fluorophores or quenchers. As fluorophores, they display tunable photoluminescence emission and the "giant red-edge effect". As quenchers, they exhibit a remarkable quenching efficiency through either electron transfer or Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) process. In this review, the origin of fluorescence and the mechanism of excitation wavelength-dependent fluorescence of graphene oxide and graphene quantum dots are discussed. Sensor design strategies based on graphene oxide and graphene quantum dots are presented. The applications of these sensors in health care, the environment, agriculture, and food safety are highlighted.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based biosensors have drawn considerable attention due to their various advantages over conventional detection systems. Recent studies have shown that hydrogel biosensors can be excellent alternative systems to detect a wide range of biomolecules, including small biochemicals, pathogenic proteins, and disease specific genes. Due to the excellent physical properties of hydrogels such as the high water content and stimuli-responsive behavior of cross-linked network structures, this system can offer substantial improvement for the design of novel detection systems for various diagnostic applications. The other main advantage of hydrogels is the role of biomimetic three-dimensional (3D) matrix immobilizing enzymes and aptamers within the detection systems, which enhances their stability. This provides ideal reaction conditions for enzymes and aptamers to interact with substrates within the aqueous environment of the hydrogel. In this review, we have highlighted various novel detection approaches utilizing the outstanding properties of the hydrogel. This review summarizes the recent progress of hydrogel-based biosensors and discusses their future perspectives and clinical limitations to overcome.

Abstract
Herein, we report an eco-friendly and simple fluorescent nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dot (N-CQD) biosensor which was synthesized via a hydrothermal method using erhanediamine (EDA) and citric acid (CA) as precursors. The surface functionalization of N-CQDs exhibited a bright blue emission under the excitation wavelength of 350 nm. The obtained N-CQDs were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the surface of the CQDs was successfully functionalized. After that, as-prepared N-CQDs were further applied in Fe(III) detection. Spectroscopic data indicated that fluorescent carbon-based nanomaterials displayed a sensitive response to Fe3+ in the range of 0.5-1000 μM as a fluorescence sensor in real environmental samples. Furthermore, the results also showed that a novel N-CQD nanomaterial could be employed as an ideal fluorescent Fe(III) probe.

Abstract
To assure water safety and protect human health, precise and simple analytical approaches are highly desired to determine low concentrations of microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR), a toxin, in both water and serum samples. Herein, a simple, rapid and accurate aptamer-based fluorescent sensor was used for selective recognition of MC-LR, based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as immobilizers, dapoxyl as a fluorescent dye, DAP-10 as a specific aptamer for dapoxyl and unmodified MC-LR aptamer (Apt) as a sensing ligand. The sensing method was developed to produce a remarkable fluorescence intensity difference in the absence and presence of MC-LR. Moreover, the Apt was used without any modification. In the absence of MC-LR, the dapoxyl could bind to DAP-10, leading to a strong fluorescence intensity. In the presence of MC-LR, DAP-10 bound to the surface of SWNTs, resulting in a very weak fluorescence intensity. Under optimized conditions, the presented fluorescent analytical approach showed high selectivity toward MC-LR with a limit of detection (LOD) of 138 pM. This new method indicated excellent analytical performance for MC-LR detection in tap water and serum samples with LODs of 135 and 168 pM, respectively.
