Abstract
This study introduces an innovative electrochemical aptasensor designed for the highly sensitive and rapid detection of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 (L. pneumophila SG1), a particularly virulent strain associated with Legionellosis. Employing a rigorous selection process utilizing cell-based systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (cell-SELEX), we identified new high-affinity aptamers specifically tailored for L. pneumophila SG1. The selection process encompassed ten rounds of cell-SELEX cycles with live L. pneumophila, including multiple counter-selection steps against the closely related Legionella sub-species. The dissociation constant (Kd) of the highest affinity sequence to L. pneumophila SG1 was measured at 14.2 nM, representing a ten-fold increase in affinity in comparison with the previously reported aptamers. For the development of electrochemical aptasensor, a gold electrode was modified with the selected aptamer through the formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The newly developed aptasensor exhibited exceptional sensitivity, and specificity in detecting and differentiating various Legionella sp., with a detection limit of 5 colony forming units (CFU)/mL and an insignificant/negligible cross-reactivity with closely related sub-species. Furthermore, the aptasensor effectively detected L. pneumophila SG1 in spiked water samples, demonstrating an appreciable recovery percentage. This study shows the potential of our aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor as a promising approach for detecting L. pneumophila SG1 in diverse environments.

Development of Electrochemical Sensor Using Iron (III) Phthalocyanine/Gold Nanoparticle/Graphene Hybrid Film for Highly Selective Determination of Nicotine in Human Salivary Samples. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:839. [PMID: 37754073 PMCID: PMC10527255 DOI: 10.3390/bios13090839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Nicotine is the one of the major addictive substances; the overdose of nicotine (NIC) consumption causes increasing heart rate, blood pressure, stroke, lung cancer, and respiratory illnesses. In this study, we have developed a precise and sensitive electrochemical sensor for nicotine detection in saliva samples. It was built on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with graphene (Gr), iron (III) phthalocyanine-4,4',4″,4'''-tetrasulfonic acid (Fe(III)Pc), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/Fe(III)Pc/Gr/GCE). The AuNPs/Fe(III)Pc/Gr nanocomposite was prepared and characterized by using FE-SEM, EDX, and E-mapping techniques to confirm the composite formation as well as the even distribution of elements. Furthermore, the newly prepared AuNPs/Fe(III)Pc/Gr/GCE-nanocomposite-based sensor was used to detect the nicotine in phosphate-buffered solution (0.1 M PBS, pH 7.4). The AuNPs/Fe(III)Pc/Gr/GCE-based sensor offered a linear response against NIC from 0.5 to 27 µM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 17 nM using the amperometry (i-t curve) technique. This electrochemical sensor demonstrated astounding selectivity and sensitivity during NIC detection in the presence of common interfering molecules in 0.1 M PBS. Moreover, the effect of pH on NIC electro-oxidation was studied, which indicated that PBS with pH 7.4 was the best medium for NIC determination. Finally, the AuNPs/Fe(III)Pc/Gr/GCE sensor was used to accurately determine NIC concentration in human saliva samples, and the recovery percentages were also calculated.

An Electrochemical Screen-Printed Sensor Based on Gold-Nanoparticle-Decorated Reduced Graphene Oxide-Carbon Nanotubes Composites for the Determination of 17-β Estradiol. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:bios13040491. [PMID: 37185565 PMCID: PMC10136424 DOI: 10.3390/bios13040491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with gold-nanoparticle-decorated reduced graphene oxide-carbon nanotubes (rGO-AuNPs/CNT/SPE) was used for the determination of estradiol (E2). The AuNPs were produced through an eco-friendly method utilising plant extract, eliminating the need for severe chemicals, and remove the requirements of sophisticated fabrication methods and tedious procedures. In addition, rGO-AuNP serves as a dispersant for the CNT to improve the dispersion stability of CNTs. The composite material, rGO-AuNPs/CNT, underwent characterisation through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The electrochemical performance of the modified SPE for estradiol oxidation was characterised using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. The rGO-AuNPs/CNT/SPE exhibited a notable improvement compared to bare/SPE and GO-CNT/SPE, as evidenced by the relative peak currents. Additionally, we employed a baseline correction algorithm to accurately adjust the sensor response while eliminating extraneous background components that are typically present in voltammetric experiments. The optimised estradiol sensor offers linear sensitivity from 0.05-1.00 µM, with a detection limit of 3 nM based on three times the standard deviation (3δ). Notably, this sensing approach yields stable, repeatable, and reproducible outcomes. Assessment of drinking water samples indicated an average recovery rate of 97.5% for samples enriched with E2 at concentrations as low as 0.5 µM%, accompanied by only a modest coefficient of variation (%CV) value of 2.7%.

Electrochemical Aptasensor for the Detection of the Key Virulence Factor YadA of Yersinia enterocolitica. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12080614. [PMID: 36005012 PMCID: PMC9405658 DOI: 10.3390/bios12080614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
New point-of-care (POC) diagnosis of bacterial infections are imperative to overcome the deficiencies of conventional methods, such as culture and molecular methods. In this study, we identified new aptamers that bind to the virulence factor Yersinia adhesin A (YadA) of Yersinia enterocolitica using cell-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (cell-SELEX). Escherichia coli expressing YadA on the cell surface was used as a target cell. After eight cycles of selection, the final aptamer pool was sequenced by high throughput sequencing using the Illumina Novaseq platform. The sequencing data, analyzed using the Geneious software, was aligned, filtered and demultiplexed to obtain the key nucleotides possibly involved in the target binding. The most promising aptamer candidate, Apt1, bound specifically to YadA with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 11 nM. Apt1 was used to develop a simple electrochemical biosensor with a two-step, label-free design towards the detection of YadA. The sensor surface modifications and its ability to bind successfully and stably to YadA were confirmed by cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy and square wave voltammetry. The biosensor enabled the detection of YadA in a linear range between 7.0 × 104 and 7.0 × 107 CFU mL−1 and showed a square correlation coefficient >0.99. The standard deviation and the limit of detection was ~2.5% and 7.0 × 104 CFU mL−1, respectively. Overall, the results suggest that this novel biosensor incorporating Apt1 can potentially be used as a sensitive POC detection system to aid the diagnosis of Y. enterocolitica infections. Furthermore, this simple yet innovative approach could be replicated to select aptamers for other (bacterial) targets and to develop the corresponding biosensors for their detection.

Abstract
The environmental crisis, due to the rapid growth of the world population and globalisation, is a serious concern of this century. Nanoscience and nanotechnology play an important role in addressing a wide range of environmental issues with innovative and successful solutions. Identification and control of emerging chemical contaminants have received substantial interest in recent years. As a result, there is a need for reliable and rapid analytical tools capable of performing sample analysis with high sensitivity, broad selectivity, desired stability, and minimal sample handling for the detection, degradation, and removal of hazardous contaminants. In this review, various gold–carbon nanocomposites-based sensors/biosensors that have been developed thus far are explored. The electrochemical platforms, synthesis, diverse applications, and effective monitoring of environmental pollutants are investigated comparatively.

Abstract
Bisphenol A is one the most relevant endocrine disruptors for its toxicity and ubiquity in the environment, being largely employed as raw material for manufacturing processes of a wide number of compounds. Furthermore, bisphenol A is released in the drinking water when plastic-based bottles are incorrectly transported under sunlight, delivering contaminated drinking water. For the health of human beings and the environment, rapid and on site detection of bisphenol A in drinking water is an important issue. Herein, we report a novel and cost-effective printed electrochemical sensor for an enzymatic-free bisphenol A detection. This sensor encompasses the entire electrochemical cell printed on filter paper and the reagents for the measurement loaded in the cellulose fiber network, for delivering a reagent-free analytical tool. The working electrode was printed using ink modified with carbon black, a cost effective nanomaterial for sensitive and sustainable bisphenol A determination. Several parameters including pH, frequency, and amplitude were optimized allowing for a detection limit of 0.03 μM with two linear ranges 0.1-0.9 μM and 1 μM-50 μM, using square wave voltammetry as electrochemical technique. The satisfactory recovery values found in river and drinking water samples demonstrated the suitability of this sensor for screening analyses in water samples. These results revealed the attractiveness of this paper-based device thanks to the synergic combination of paper and carbon black as cost-effective materials.

Abstract
Bisphenol analogues have been developed as alternatives to bisphenol A (BPA), a common chemical with potential adverse effects on human health. It is imperative to perform a fast and sensitive evaluation for the toxicity of these bisphenol analogues. This study introduces a label-free electrochemical biosensor based on a screen-printed electrode modified with the carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube/rhodamine B/gold nanoparticle. Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney (CIK) cells were used as the biological recognition agent to detect changes in electrochemical signals and indicate the cell viability. Only 20 μL of sample was required for detection, which was much lower than that of other conventional electrochemical methods (≥ 1 mL). This biosensor was examined for the cytotoxicity of BPA, bisphenol AF (BPAF), bisphenol B (BPB), bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol S (BPS) to CIK cells. The half inhibition concentration (IC50) values after 48 h of exposure indicated that the rank order of cytotoxicities was BPAF > BPB > BPA > BPF > BPS. The morphological changes in CIK cells after treatment with various bisphenols were investigated, and the combined toxicities of the binary bisphenol mixtures were determined. Potentially synergistic and additive effects were observed. These findings provide new insights into the cytotoxicity of bisphenol analogues.

Abstract
PC software-based portable cyclic voltammetry (PCV) systems have the advantages of portability, high performance, and real-time detection. In this paper, the PCV system used cyclic voltammetry (CV) as the main detection and analysis method and contained the following components: a three-electrode unit, a portable potentiostat, and PC software. The PC software was used as the system control and display, and a dynamic peak position adjustment (DPPA) algorithm for E. coli measurements based on thick biofilm modification on electrodes was designed especially for this system to realize the real-time correspondence between the measured results and the modified electrodes. The performance test results obtained by setting different detection parameters in the PCV system were compared with those of commercial electrochemical workstations. The difference was less than 4.99%, with a relative standard deviation less than 0.20%. An electrochemical biosensor based on a Prussian blue-multiwalled carbon nanotube-gold nanoparticle composite was developed for E. coli detection. After constructing an antibody-BSA-E. coli electrode modification on the sensor, experimental data processed by the DPPA algorithm showed that the logarithm (lg DfE.coli) of the E. coli dilution factor and the peak current response had a linear relationship. The PCV system could quickly and accurately detect E. coli concentrations with dynamic adjustment algorithms for biofilm-modified electrodes.

Abstract
Malathion (MLT) is an organophosphorous type pesticide and having seriously high toxicity and electrochemical platforms for rapid, simple, inexpensive and sensitive determination of pesticides is still a special concern. This paper describes a simple preparation of a composite film consisting of ionic liquid (IL), chitosan (CS) and electrochemically synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on single use pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs). The microscopic and electrochemical characterization of AuNP-CS-IL/PGE was studied using scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. This fabricated surface was then explored for the first time as a sensing matrix for the non-enzymatic electrochemical sensing of malathion by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry measurements. The proposed AuNP-CS-IL/PGE showed excellent characteristics and possessed remarkable affinity for malathion. The voltammetric current response exhibited two linear dynamic ranges, 0.89–5.94 nM and 5.94–44.6 nM reflecting two binding sites, with a detection limit of 0.68 nM. The method was applied in real sample analysis of apple and tomato. The results demonstrate the feasibility of AuNP-CS-IL-modified electrodes for simple, fast, ultrasensitive and inexpensive detection of MLT.

Abstract
Quality and safety of perishable products such as foods, pharmaceutics, and biologicals is a constant concern. We have developed a plasmonic thermal history indicator (THI) taking advantage of the localized surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized in situ in alginate, a natural polysaccharide. The color of the THIs becomes more intense with increased storage temperature and/or duration, with the color changing from grey to red with time of exposure at high temperature (40°C). The results suggest that decreasing viscosity with increasing number of AuNPs being synthesized in the system, along with aggregation of newly synthesized AuNPs onto larger ones and their settling are potentially responsible for the distinct color change observed. The use of alginate in the THIs also facilitates fabricating them as solid hydrogel matrices by adding divalent calcium ions. This alginate-AuNPs THI system is tunable by altering its composition to suit different time-temperature monitoring scenarios and the color-change reaction is irreversible. The THI provides a convenient, reliable, safe, and inexpensive means for tracking the thermal history of perishable products without the need for a read-out device.

Abstract
K.S. Novoselov in his Nobel lecture (December 8, 2010), described graphene as "more than just a flat crystal" and summarized the best possible impression of graphene with (i) it is the first example of 2D atomic crystals, (ii) it demonstrated unique electronic properties, thanks to charge carriers which mimic massless relativistic particles, and (iii) it has promise for a number of applications. The fascinating and unusual properties of this 2D material were indeed recently investigated and exploited in several disciplines including physics, medicine, and chemistry, indicating the extremely versatile and polyedric aspect of this nanomaterial. The utilization of nanomaterials, printed technology, and microfluidics in electroanalysis has resulted in a period that can be called the "Electroanalysis Renaissance" (Escarpa, 2012) in which graphene is without any doubt a forefront nanomaterial. The rise in affordable fabrication processes, along with the great dispersing attitude in a plenty of matrices, have made graphene powerful in large-scale production of electrochemical platforms. Herein, we overview the employment of graphene to customize and/or fabricate printable based (bio)sensors over the past 5 years, including several modification approaches such as drop casting, screen- and inkjet-printing, different strategies of graphene-based sensing, and applications as well. The objective of this review is to provide a critical perspective related to advantages and disadvantages of using graphene in biosensing tools, based on screen-printed sensors.
