Abstract
An impedimetric aptasensor for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection has been developed on the base of a gold electrode covered with a new modifier consisting of electropolymerized Neutral Red and a mixture of Au nanoparticles suspended in the dendrimeric polymer Botlorn H30®. Thiolated aptamer specific to OTA was covalently attached to Au nanoparticles via Au-S bonding. The interaction of the aptamer with OTA induced the conformational switch of the aptamer from linear to guanine quadruplex form followed by consolidation of the surface layer and an increase of the charge transfer resistance. The aptasensor makes it possible to detect from 0.1 to 100 nM of OTA (limit of detection: 0.02 nM) in the presence of at least 50 fold excess of ochratoxin B. The applicability of the aptasensor for real sample assay was confirmed by testing spiked beer samples. The recovery of 2 nM OTA was found to be 70% for light beer and 78% for dark beer.

Abstract
An amplified electrochemical impedimetric aptasensor for ochratoxin A (OTA) was developed with picomolar sensitivity. A facile route to fabricate gold nanoparticles covalently bound reduced graphene oxide (AuNPs-rGO) resulted in a large number of well-dispersed AuNPs on graphene sheets with tremendous binding sites for DNA, since the single rGO sheet and each AuNP can be loaded with hundreds of DNA strands. An aptasensor with sandwich model was fabricated which involved thiolated capture DNA immobilized on a gold electrode to capture the aptamer, then the sensing interface was incubated with OTA at a desired concentration, followed by AuNPs-rGO functionalized reporter DNA hybridized with the residual aptamers. By exploiting the AuNPs-rGO as an excellent signal amplified platform, a single hybridization event between aptamer and reporter DNA was translated into more than 10(7) redox events, leading to a substantial increase in charge-transfer resistance (Rct) by 7~ orders of magnitude compared with that of the free aptamer modified electrode. Such designed aptasensor showed a decreased response of Rct to the increase of OTA concentrations over a wide range of 1 pg mL(-1)-50 ng mL(-1) and could detect extremely low OTA concentration, namely, 0.3 pg mL(-1) or 0.74 pM, which was much lower than that of most other existed impedimetric aptasensors. The signal amplification platform presented here would provide a promising model for the aptamer-based detection with a direct impedimetric method.

Abstract
Highly sensitive biosensor with 1,1'-oxalyldiimidazole chemiluminescence (ODI-CL) detection was developed to rapidly quantify Vibrio (V) parahaemolyticus without time-consuming procedures such as multiple long-incubations and washings. When V. parahaemolyticus in Tris-HCl (pH 7) and hairpin DNA aptamer conjugated with TEX615 in DNA free deionized water were consecutively added in PBS buffer (pH 7.4) containing graphene oxides (GOs), V. parahaemolyticus and GOs bind competitively to hairpin DNA aptamer conjugated with TEX615 during 10 min of incubation at room temperature. Brightness of light immediately emitted with the addition of ODI-CL reagents (e.g., ODI, H2O2) after the incubation was dependent on the concentration of V. parahaemolyticus in a sample. The dynamic range of linear calibration curve for the quantification of V. parahaemolyticus in a sample was from 4375 to 70,000 cells/ml. The limit of detection (LOD = background + 3 × standard deviation, 2230 cells/ml) of the biosensor operated with good accuracy, precision, and recovery was lower than those of conventional assay methods such as time-consuming and expensive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical aptasensor is described for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) based on signal enhancement with rolling circle amplification (RCA). The primer for RCA was designed to compose of a two-part sequence, one part of the aptamer sequence directed against OTA while the other part was complementary to the capture probe on the electrode surface. In the presence of target OTA, the primer, originally hybridized with the RCA padlock, is replaced to combine with OTA. This induces the inhibition of RCA and decreases the OTA sensing signal obtained with the electrochemical aptasensor. Under the optimized conditions, ultrasensitive detection of OTA was achieved with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.065 ppt (pg/mL), which is much lower than previously reported. The electrochemical aptasensor was also successfully applied to the determination of OTA in wine samples. This ultrasensitive electrochemical aptasensor is of great practical importance in food safety and could be widely extended to the detection of other toxins by replacing the sequence of the recognition aptamer.

Abstract
Aptamer-based bioreceptors that can easily adopt their surroundings have captured the attention of scientists from a wide spectrum of domains in designing highly sensitive, selective and structure switchable sensing assays. Through elaborate design and chemical functionalization, numerous aptamer-based assays have been developed that can switch their conformation upon incubation with target analyte, resulting in an enhanced output signal. To further lower the detection limits to picomolar levels, nanomaterials have attracted great interest in the design of aptamer-based sensing platforms. Associated to their unique properties, nanomaterials offer great promise for numerous aptasensing applications. This review will discuss current research activities in the aptasensing with typical example of detection of ochratoxin A (OTA). OTA, a secondary fungal metabolite, contaminates a variety of food commodities, and has several toxicological effects such as nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, neurotoxic, teratogenic and immunotoxic activities. The review will introduce advances made in the methods of integrating nanomaterials in aptasensing, and will discuss current conformational switchable design strategies in aptasensor fabrication methodologies.

Abstract
The contamination of food and feed by mycotoxins has become an increasingly serious problem. Mycotoxins represent a major risk to human and animal health, as well as economics. Herein, we focus on Ochratoxin A (OTA), which is one of the most common mycotoxins contaminating feed and foodstuffs. OTA is a secondary metabolite produced by various Aspergillus and Penicillium strains. Upon ingestion, OTA has a number of acute and chronic toxic effects. It is nephrotoxic, teratogenic, immunosuppressive, and carcinogenic (group 2B). As a consequence, some regulatory limits have been introduced on the levels of OTA in several commodities. The toxic nature of OTA demands highly sensitive and selective monitoring techniques to protect human and animal health. As alternative to traditional analytical techniques, biochemical methods for OTA analysis have attained great interest in the last few decades. They are mainly based on the integration of antibodies or aptamers as biorecognition elements in sensing platforms. However, aptamers have gained more attention in affinity-based assays because of their high affinity, specificity, stability, and their easy chemical synthesis. In this brief review, we present an overview of aptamer-based assays and their applications in OTA purification and detection, appeared in the literature in the last five years.

Abstract
The adsorption of DNAs in G-quadruplex solution onto 13 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was studied through monitoring of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorbance of 13 nm AuNPs at 520 and 650 nm (A650/A520) in the solutions of three widely studied guanine-rich sequences, TBA(5'-GGTTGGTGTGGTTGG-3'), PW17(5'-GGGTAGGGCGGGTTGGG-3'), and PSO (5'-GGGTTAGGGTTAGGGTTAGGG-3'). It was found that the degree of adsorption of DNAs in Pb(2+) stabilized G-quadruplex (G-Pb(2+)) solutions is up to 93% after more than 5h of incubation. Furthermore, the lead concentrations in the solutions containing G-quadruplex and AuNP were analyzed by an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer. The results showed that Pb(2+) had been released from the G-quadruplexes, which means the G-quadruplexes may be unfolded in the presence of AuNP. This interaction between G-quadruplexes and AuNP demonstrated that long time incubation between DNAs and AuNPs would possibly make it unable to distinguish G-quadruplex from ssDNA. Thus, a biosensing system consisting of PW17 and AuNPs was developed to detect Pb(2+). It was found that the LSPR responses at A650/A520 were sensitive to [Pb(2+)]. However, the sensitivity of the system was interfered by the potential unfolding of PW17-Pb(2+) in the presence of AuNPs. This unexpected adverse effect of AuNPs on DNA-based biosensors should be taken into consideration in the future development of biosensing systems that are based on ssDNA aptamers and unmodified AuNPs.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) based fluorescence quenching or colorimetric aptasensor have been developed for many analytes recently largely because of the ease of detection, high sensitivity, and potential for high-throughput analysis. However, the effects of remnant non-AuNPs components in the colloid gold solution on these assays performance remain unclear. For the first time, we demonstrated that the remnant sodium citrate and the reaction products of three acids play counteractive roles in AuNPs based fluorescence quenching and colorimetric aptasensor in three ways in this study. First, the remnant sodium citrate in the colloid gold solution could increase the fluorescence intensity of FAM labeled on the aptamer that reduce the efficiency of AuNPs fluorescent quenching. Second, the reaction products of citric acid, HCl and ketoglutaric acid reduce the fluorescence recovery by quenching the fluorescence of FAM labeled on the aptamer dissociated from the surface of AuNPs upon addition of target. Lastly, the reaction products of three acids reduce the pH value of the colloid gold solution that reduce the sensitivity of AuNPs based colorimetric aptasensor by increasing the adsorption of aptamer to surface of AuNPs. With sulfadimethoxine and thrombin as model analytes, we found that water resuspended AuNPs can significantly increase the sensitivity by more than 10-fold for AuNPs based fluorescence quenching aptasensor. In the AuNPs based colorimetric aptasensor for sulfadimethoxine using the water resuspended AuNPs, the sensitivity also was increased by 10-fold compared with that of original AuNPs. The findings in this study provide theoretical guidance for further improving AuNPs based fluorescent quenching and colorimetric aptasensor by adjusting the composition of AuNPs solution.

Abstract
One-step chemiluminescent aptasensor was developed using chemically initiated electron exchange luminescence (CIEEL) between high-energy intermediate formed from 1,1'-oxalyldiimidazole chemiluminescence (ODI-CL) reaction and G-quadruplex (ochratoxin A (OTA)-bound aptamer conjugated with TEX615) generated. The sensitivity of chemiluminescent aptasensor, optimized with various variables (e.g., property of microfibers fabricated with 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dimide, determination of fluorescent dye labeled with aptamer, physical properties of buffer solution), was dependent on the background (concentration of high-energy intermediate) generated in ODI-CL reaction. The limit of detection (LOD=background+3×standard deviation, 0.5 nM) of ODI-CL aptasensor with lower background was lower than that (3.7 nM) with 20 times higher background. Also, the ratio of signal to background (S/B) of ODI-CL aptasensor with low background was about 5-fold higher than that with high background. The sensitivities of ODI-CL aptasensors, with low as well as high background, capable of accurately and precisely quantifying OTA within 10 min, were better than those of fluorescent aptasensors and as good as those of highly sensitive but time-consuming competitive enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assays (ELISAs) using expensive antibody produced with the sacrifice of small animals.

Abstract
We report a new label-free colorimetric aptasensor based on DNAzyme-aptamer conjugate for rapid and high-throughput detection of Ochratoxin A (OTA, a possible human carcinogen, group 2B) in wine. Two oligonucleotides were designed for this detection. One is N1 for biorecognition, which includes two adjacent sequences: the OTA-specific aptamer sequence and the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mimicking DNAzyme sequence. The other is a blocking DNA (B2), which is partially complementary to a part of the OTA aptamer and partially complementary to a part of the DNAzyme. The existence of OTA reduces the hybridization between N1 and B2. Thus, the activity of the non-hybridized DNAzyme is linearly correlated with the concentration of OTA up to 30 nM with a limit of detection of 4 nM (3σ). Meanwhile, a double liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method is accordingly developed to purify OTA from wine. Compared with the existing HPLC-FD or immunoassay methods, the proposed strategy presents the most appropriate balance between accuracy and facility, resulting in a considerable improvement of real-time quality control, and thereby, preventing chronic poisoning caused by OTA contained red wine.

Abstract
We explored a fluorescent strategy for sensing ochratoxin A (OTA) by using a single fluorophore-labeled aptamer for detection of OTA. This method relied on the change of the fluorescence intensity of the labeled dye induced by the specific binding of the fluorescent aptamer to OTA. Different fluorescein labeling sites of aptamers were screened, including the internal thymine bases, 3'-end, and 5'-end of the aptamer, and the effect of the labeling on the aptamer affinity was investigated. Some fluorophore-labeled aptamers showed a signal-on or signal-off response. With the fluorescent aptamer switch, simple, rapid, and selective sensing of OTA at nanomolar concentrations was achieved. OTA spiked in diluted red wine could be detected, showing the feasibility of the fluorescent aptamer for a complex matrix. This method shows potential for designing aptamer sensors for other targets.

Abstract
Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides synthesized through an in vitro selection and amplification process that involves systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment. Based on their high binding affinity and specificity towards other molecules, aptamers generated during the final rounds of selection can be utilized in applications ranging from biosensing to diagnostics and therapeutics. Meanwhile, advances in nanotechnology have led to new and improved materials for biomedical applications. Specifically, nanoparticles can readily interact with both intra- and extra-cellular biomolecules to yield improved signal amplification and target recognition. By combining both technologies, aptamer-conjugated nanoparticles, especially gold nanoparticles (Apt–AuNPs), offer great promise for applications in bioanalysis and biomedicine, including early diagnosis and drug delivery. This review summarizes recent methodologies that have increased the application of Apt–AuNPs in biomedicine, and discusses the potential of Apt–AuNPs in bioanalysis.

A colorimetric aptasensor for the diagnosis of malaria based on cationic polymers and gold nanoparticles. Anal Biochem 2013; 439:11-6.

Abstract
Malaria, a major burden of disease caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium, is widely spread in tropical and subtropical regions. Here, we have successfully developed a diagnostic technique for malaria. The proposed method is based on the interaction among the Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH), which is a biomarker for malaria, and pL1 aptamer against Plasmodium vivax lactate dehydrogenase (PvLDH) and Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH). In addition, the cationic polymers, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), aggregate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that should be possible to observe the change in color from red to blue, which depends on the concentration of pLDH. Using this aptasensor, pLDH proteins were successfully detected with low detection limits. Moreover, the specificity test proved that the aptasenor is very specific in targeting proteins over other interfering proteins. In addition, the pLDH from infected blood samples of the two main species of malaria were also detected. The limits of detection for P. vivax were determined as 80 parasites/μl for PDDA and 74 parasites/μl for PAH. The aptasenor has great advantages that can simply and rapidly diagnose malaria. Thus, the developed aptasensor for detection of pLDH can offer an effective and sensitive diagnosis of malaria.

Abstract
A selective aptameric sequence is adsorbed on a two-dimensional nanostructured metallic platform optimized for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) measurements. Using nanofabrication methods, a metallic nanostructure was prepared by electron-beam lithography onto a glass coverslip surface and embedded within a microfluidic channel made of polydimethylsiloxane, allowing one to monitor in situ SERS fingerprint spectra from the adsorbed molecules on the metallic nanostructures. The gold structure was designed so that its localized surface plasmon resonance matches the excitation wavelength used for the Raman measurement. This optofluidic device is then used to detect the presence of a toxin, namely ochratoxin-A (OTA), in a confined environment, using very small amounts of chemicals, and short data acquisition times, by taking advantage of the optical properties of a SERS platform to magnify the Raman signals of the aptameric monolayer system and avoiding chemical labeling of the aptamer or the OTA target.

Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers are short single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that can bind to their targets with very high affinity and specificity, and are generally selected by a process referred to as systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment. Conventional antibody-based therapeutic and diagnostic approach currently employed against biotoxins pose major limitations such as the requirement of a live animal for the in vivo enrichment of the antibody species, decreased stability, high production cost, and side effects. Aptamer technology is a viable alternative that can be used to combat these problems. Fully sequestered in vitro, aptamers eliminate the need for a living host. Furthermore, one of the key advantages of using aptamers instead of antibodies is that they can be selected against very weakly immunogenic and cytotoxic substances. In this review, we focus on nucleic acid aptamers developed against various biotoxins of plant, microorganism, or animal origin and show how these can be used in diagnostics (e.g., biosensors) and therapy.

Abstract
We developed a simple method for the detection of platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) based on base stacking effect coupled with an unmodified gold nanoparticle (AuNP) indicator. In the absence of a target, an aptamer probe and a capture probe stably co-exist in a solution, as it is difficult to sustain an interaction between both these probes due to the short 8bp duplex. However, when a target protein binds to the aptamer probe, the strong base stacking effect can lead to a favorable and stable interaction between the aptamer and capture probes. Hence, the capture probe dissociates from the AuNP surfaces, inducing AuNP aggregation. Compared with other AuNP-based aptasensors for PDGFs, using this base stacking effect can overcome a structured-aptamer method's limitation of requiring thiolated-aptamer-modified AuNPs. Under optimal detection conditions, this label-free colorimetric sensor could detect PDGFs down to 6nM with high selectivity in the presence of other interferring proteins. This simple detection approach provides viable methods for a structured-aptamer sensing protocol.

Abstract
On the basis of Tb(3+), structure-switching aptamer and magnetic beads (MBs), a signal-on fluorescent aptasensor was developed for the label-free determination of OTA in wheat. Initially, the specific sequence of the anti-OTA aptamer labeled with a biotin group, was attached to streptavidin-modified MBs. Two single-stranded signal probes were added and naturally hybridized with anti-OTA aptamer to form the duplex structure in the solution. Due to the fact that single-stranded oligonucleotides can greatly enhance the emission of Tb(3+) in solution but duplexes do not, through magnetic separation, the supernatant liquid of the above solution contained no single-stranded DNA and cannot increase the emission of Tb(3+). While upon OTA addition, it will bind with aptamer to form OTA-aptamer G-quadruplex while releasing two single-stranded signal probes. Through magnetic separation, the released single-stranded signal probes left in the supernatant liquid can dramatically increase the fluorescent intensity of Tb(3+). By employing the above strategy, this aptasensor can detect as low as 20 pg/mL OTA with high specificity. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed aptasensor is the first attempt to use the fluorescent characteristics of Tb(3+) for OTA detection, which may represent a promising path toward routine quality control of food safety.

Abstract
A one-step electrochemical aptasensor using the thiol- and methylene blue- (MB-) dual-labeled aptamer modified gold electrode for determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) was presented in this research. The aptamer against OTA was covalently immobilized on the surface of the electrode by the self-assembly effect and used as recognition probes for OTA detection by the binding induced folding of the aptamer. Under the optimal conditions, the developed electrochemical aptasensor demonstrated a wide linear range from 0.1 pg mL(-1) to 1000 pg mL(-1) with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.095 pg mL(-1), which was an extraordinary sensitivity compared with other common methods for OTA detection. Moreover, as a practical application, this proposed electrochemical aptasensor was used to monitor the OTA level in red wine samples without any special pretreatment and with satisfactory results obtained. Study results showed that this electrochemical aptasensor could be a potential useful platform for on-site OTA measurement in real complex samples.

Abstract
A sandwich microarray employing two distinct aptamers for human thrombin has been optimized for the detection of subnanomolar concentrations of the protein. The aptamer microarray demonstrates high specificity for thrombin, proving that a two-site binding assay with the TBA1 aptamer as capture layer and the TBA2 aptamer as detection layer can ensure great specificity at times and conditions compatible with standard routine analysis of biological samples. Aptamer microarray sensitivity was evaluated directly by fluorescent analysis employing Cy5-labeled TBA2 and indirectly by the use of TBA2-biotin followed by detection with fluorescent streptavidin. Sub-nanomolar LODs were reached in all cases and in the presence of serum, demonstrating that the optimized aptamer microarray can identify thrombin by a low-cost, sensitive and specific method.

Abstract
We have used systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) to isolate RNA aptamers against aminoglycoside antibiotics. The SELEX rounds were toggled against four pairs of aminoglycosides with the goal of isolating reagents that recognize conserved structural features. The resulting aptamers bind both of their selection targets with nanomolar affinities. They also bind the less structurally related targets, although they show clear specificity for this class of antibiotics. We show that this lack of aminoglycoside specificity is a common property of aptamers previously selected against single compounds and described as "specific". Broad target specificity aptamers would be ideal for sensors detecting the entire class of aminoglycosides. We have used ligand-induced aggregation of gold-nanoparticles coated with our aptamers as a rapid and sensitive assay for these compounds. In contrast to DNA aptamers, unmodified RNA aptamers cannot be used as the recognition ligand in this assay, whereas 2'-fluoro-pyrimidine derivatives work reliably. We discuss the possible application of these reagents as sensors for drug residues and the challenges for understanding the structural basis of aminoglycoside-aptamer recognition highlighted by the SELEX results.

Abstract
The analytical performances of a novel DNA-ligand system using the time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) response of ochratoxin A (OTA)-terbium-DNA aptamer interaction were tested for the quantitative determination of OTA in wheat. Wheat was extracted with acetonitrile/water (60:40, v/v) followed by clean-up through affinity columns containing a DNA-aptamer-based oligosorbent. Then, OTA was detected by TRF spectroscopy after reaction with a terbium fluorescent solution containing the DNA-aptamer probe. The entire procedure was performed in less than 30 min, including sample preparation, and allowed analysis of several samples simultaneously with a 96-well microplate reader. The average recovery from samples spiked with 2.5-25 μg kg(-1) OTA was 77%, with a relative standard deviation lower than 6% and a quantification limit of 0.5 μg kg(-1). Comparative analyses of 29 naturally contaminated (up to 14 μg kg(-1)) wheat samples using the aptamer-affinity column/TRF method or the immunoaffinity column/high-performance liquid chromatography method showed good correlation (r = 0.985) in the range tested. The trueness of the aptamer-based method was additionally assessed by analysis of two quality control wheat materials for OTA. The DNA-ligand system is innovative, simple and rapid, and can be used to screen large quantities of samples for OTA contamination at levels below the EU regulatory limit with analytical performances satisfying EU criteria for method acceptability.

Abstract
The safety of food and feed depends to a great deal on quality control. Numerous compounds and organisms may contaminate food and feed commodities and thus pose a health risk for consumers. The compound of interest in this review is ochratoxin A (OTA), a secondary metabolite of the fungi Aspergillus and Penicillium. Due to its adverse health effects, detection and quantification are of utmost importance. Quality control of food and feed requires extraction and analysis, including TLC, HPLC, MS, and immunochemical methods. Each of these methods has its advantages and disadvantages. However, with regard to costs and rapidity, immunochemical methods have gained much interest in the last decade. In this review an introduction to immunochemistry and assay design will be given to elucidate the principles. Further, the application of the various formats to the detection and quantification of ochratoxin will be described, including the use of commercially available kits.

Despite much interest in immunochemical methods and in the rapid development of LC-MS methodology, more conventional methods, sometimes linked to novel clean-up protocols, have also been the subject of research publications over the above period. Occurrence of mycotoxins falls outside the main focus of this review; however, where relevant to analytical method development, this has been mentioned.

Abstract
A gold nanoparticle based dual fluorescence-colorimetric method was developed as an aptasensor to detect ampicillin using its single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer, which was discovered by a magnetic bead-based SELEX technique. The selected aptamers, AMP4 (5'-CACGGCATGGTGGGCGTCGTG-3'), AMP17 (5'-GCGGGCGGTTGTATAGCGG-3'), and AMP18 (5'-TTAGTTGGGGTTCAGTTGG-3'), were confirmed to have high sensitivity and specificity to ampicillin (K(d), AMP7 = 9.4 nM, AMP17 = 13.4 nM, and AMP18 = 9.8 nM, respectively). The 5'-fluorescein amidite (FAM)-modified aptamer was used as a dual probe for observing fluorescence differences and color changes simultaneously. The lower limits of detection for this dual method were a 2 ng/mL by fluorescence and a 10 ng/mL by colorimetry for ampicillin in the milk as well as in distilled water. Because these detection limits were below the maximum residue limit of ampicillin, this aptasensor was sensitive enough to detect antibiotics in food products, such as milk and animal tissues. In addition, this dual aptasensor will be a more accurate method for antibiotics in food products as it concurrently uses two detection methods: fluorescence and colorimetry.

Abstract
On the basis of aptamer-based rolling circle amplification (RCA) and magnetic beads (MBs), a highly sensitive electrochemical method was developed for the determination of Ochratoxin A (OTA). Initially, an amino-modified capture DNA was immobilized onto MBs for the following hybridization with an OTA aptamer and a phosphate labeled padlock DNA. In the presence of OTA, the aptamer would dissociate from the bioconjugate, and the padlock DNA would subsequently hybridize with the capture DNA to form a circular template with the aid of the T4 ligase. Next, capture DNA would act as primer to initiate a linear RCA reaction and hence generate a long tandem repeated sequences by phi29 DNA polymerase and dNTPs. Then, two quantum dots (QDs) labeled DNA probes were tagged on the resulted RCA product to indicate the OTA recognition event by electrochemical readout. This strategy, based on the novel design of OTA-mediated DNA circularization, the combination of RCA and double signal probes introduction, could detect OTA down to the level of 0.2 pg mL(-1) with a dynamic range spanning more than 4 orders of magnitude. The proposed approach is tested to determine OTA in red wines and shows good application potential in real samples.

Abstract
We report an aptasensor for biosensing of Ochratoxin A (OTA) using aptamer-DNAzyme hairpin as biorecognition element. The structure of this engineered nucleic acid includes the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mimicking DNAzyme and the OTA specific aptamer sequences. A blocking tail captures a part of these sequences in the stem region of the hairpin. In the presence of OTA, the hairpin is opened due to the formation of the aptamer-analyte complex. As a result, self-assembly of the active HRP-mimicking DNAzyme occurs. The activity of this DNAzyme is linearly correlated with OTA concentration up to 10 nM, showing a limit of detection of 2.5 nM.

Abstract
A label-free, homogeneous aptamer-based sensor strategy was designed for the facile colorimetric detection of small target molecules. The format relied on the target-induced protection of DNA aptamer from the enzymatic digestion and its transduction into a detectable signal through the length-dependent adsorption of single-stranded DNA onto unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The proof-of-principle of the approach was established by employing the anti-tyrosinamide aptamer as a model functional nucleic acid. In the absence of target, the aptamer was cleaved by the phosphodiesterase I enzymatic probe, leading to the release of mononucleotides and short DNA fragments. These governed effective electrostatic stabilization of AuNPs so that the nanoparticles remained dispersed and red-colored upon salt addition. Upon tyrosinamide binding, the enzymatic cleavage was impeded, resulting in the protection of the aptamer structure. As this long DNA molecule was unable to electrostatically stabilize AuNPs, the resulting colloidal solution turned blue after salt addition due to the formation of nanoparticle aggregates. The quantitative determination of the target can be achieved by monitoring the ratio of absorbance at 650 and 520 nm of the gold colloidal solution. A limit of detection of ~5 μM and a linear range up to 100 μM were obtained. The sensing platform was further applied, through the same experimental protocol, to the adenosine detection by using its DNA aptamer as recognition tool. This strategy could extend the potentialities, in terms of both simplicity and general applicability, of the aptamer-based sensing approaches.

Abstract
A sorbent based on the aptamer for ochratoxin A was immobilized onto magnetic nanospheres (MNS) and used to develop a magnetic solid-phase extraction procedure to clean up food samples in conjunction with high-performance liquid chromatography separation and fluorescence detection. Specific retention of ochratoxin A by the sorbent was demonstrated, and the capacity of the MNS-aptamer sorbent was determined. The efficacy of this new approach was successfully evaluated through comparison with solid-phase extraction on commercial C18 cartridge. Several different food samples fortified in the range of with 2.5-50 μg/kg yielded mean recoveries from 67% to 90%, respectively. Finally, this oligosorbent was applied to the selective extraction of ochratoxin A from unfortified food samples.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A, a toxin produced by Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum, is one of the most abundant food-contaminating mycotoxins in the world. It has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a possible human carcinogen. In this paper, a sensitive and selective fluorescent aptasensor for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection was constructed, utilizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as quencher which can quench the fluorescence of free unfolded toxin-specific aptamer attached with FAM (carboxyfluorescein). Without any coating materials as compared to graphene-oxide based sensor, we obtained the detection limit of our sensing platform based on SWNTs to be 24.1 nM with a linear detection range from 25 nM to 200 nM. This technique responded specifically to OTA without interference from other analogues (N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine, warfarin and OTB). It has also been verified for real sample application by testing 1% beer containing buffer solution spiked with a series of concentration of OTA.

Abstract
A new "signal-on" aptasensor for ultrasensitive detection of Ochratoxin A (OTA) in wheat starch was developed based on exonuclease-catalyzed target recycling. To construct the aptasensor, a ferrocene (Fc) labeled probe DNA (S1) was immobilized on a gold electrode (GE) via Au-S bonding for the following hybridization with the complementary OTA aptamer, with the labeled Fc on S1 far from the GE surface. In the presence of analyte OTA, the formation of aptamer-OTA complex would result in not only the dissociation of aptamer from the double-strand DNA but also the transformation of the probe DNA into a hairpin structure. Subsequently, the OTA could be liberated from the aptamer-OTA complex for analyte recycling due to the employment of exonuclease, which is a single-stranded DNA specific exonuclease to selectively digest the appointed DNA (aptamer). Owing to the labeled Fc in close proximity to the electrode surface caused by the formation of the hairpin DNA and to the analyte recycling, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) signal could be produced with enhanced signal amplification. Based on this strategy, an ultrasensitive aptasensor for the detection of OTA could be exhibited with a wide linear range of 0.005-10.0ngmL(-1) with a low detection limit (LOD) of 1.0pgmL(-1) OTA (at 3σ). The fabricated biosensor was then applied for the measurement of OTA in real wheat starch sample and validated by ELISA method.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) produced by Aspergillus Ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum is a very dangerous toxin due to its toxic effects in human beings and its presence in a wide range of food products and cereals. A Langmuir-Blodgett (polyaniline (PANI)-stearic acid (SA)) film based highly sensitive and robust impedimetric aptasensor has been developed for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection. DNA Aptamer (Apt-DNA) specific to OTA has been covalently immobilized onto mixed Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayer comprising of PANI-SA deposited onto indium tin-oxide (ITO) coated glass plates. This Apt-DNA/PANI-SA/ITO aptaelectrode has been characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, respectively. The Apt-DNA/PANI-SA/ITO aptasensor shows detection of OTA by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in the linear range of 0.0001 μg/ml (0.1 ng/ml) to 0.01 μg/ml (10 ng/ml) and 1 μg/ml-25 μg/ml with detection limit of 0.1 ng/ml in 15 min. The Apt-DNA/PANI-SA/ITO aptasensor can be reused ∼13 times. The binding or affinity constant (K(a)) of aptamer with OTA, calculated using Langmuir adsorption isotherm, is found be 1.21×10(7) M(-1).

Abstract
In this paper, we developed a simple method to detect fungi toxin (ochratoxin A) produced by Aspergillus Ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosumm, utilizing graphene oxide as quencher which can quench the fluorescence of FAM (carboxyfluorescein) attached to toxin-specific aptamer. By optimizing the experimental conditions, we obtained the detection limit of our sensing platform based on bare graphene oxide to be 1.9 μM with a linear detection range from 2 μM to 35 μM. Selectivity of this sensing platform has been carefully investigated; the results showed that this sensor specifically responded to ochratoxin A without interference from other structure analogues (N-acetyl-l-phenylalanine and warfarin) and with only limited interference from ochratoxin B. Experimental data showed that ochratoxin A as well as other structure analogues could adsorb onto the graphene oxide. As compared to the non-protected graphene oxide based biosensor, PVP-protected graphene oxide reveals much lower detection limit (21.8 nM) by two orders of magnitude under the optimized ratio of graphene oxide to PVP concentration. This sensor has also been challenged by testing 1% red wine containing buffer solution spiked with a series of concentration of ochratoxin A.

Abstract
Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides and F. proliferatum, fungi that are ubiquitous in corn (maize). Insect damage and some other environmental conditions result in the accumulation of fumonisins in corn-based products worldwide. Current methods of fumonisin detection rely on the use of immunoaffinity columns and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The use of aptamers offers a good alternative to the use of antibodies in fumonisin cleanup and detection due to lower costs and improved stability. Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that are selected using Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX) for their ability to bind to targets with high affinity and specificity. Sequences obtained after 18 rounds of SELEX were screened for their ability to bind to fumonisin B(1). Six unique sequences were obtained, each showing improved binding to fumonisin B(1) compared to controls. Sequence FB(1) 39 binds to fumonisin with a dissociation constant of 100 ± 30 nM and shows potential for use in fumonisin biosensors and solid phase extraction columns.
