Abstract
Water constitutes an indispensable resource crucial for the sustenance of humanity, as it plays an integral role in various sectors such as agriculture, industrial processes, and domestic consumption. Even though water covers 71% of the global land surface, governments have been grappling with the challenge of ensuring the provision of safe water for domestic use. A contributing factor to this situation is the persistent contamination of available water sources rendering them unfit for human consumption. A common contaminant, pesticides are not frequently tested for despite their serious effects on biodiversity. Pesticide determination in water quality assessment is a challenging task because the procedures involved in the extraction and detection are complex. This reduces their popularity in many monitoring campaigns despite their harmful effects. If the existing methods of pesticide analysis are adapted by leveraging new technologies, then information concerning their presence in water ecosystems can be exposed. Furthermore, beyond the advantages conferred by the integration of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), and big data analytics, a notable outcome is the attainment of a heightened degree of granularity in the information of water ecosystems. This paper discusses methods of pesticide detection in water, emphasizing the possible use of electrochemical sensors, biosensors, and paper-based sensors in wireless sensing. It also explores the application of WSNs in water, the IoT, computing models, ML, and big data analytics, and their potential for integration as technologies useful for pesticide monitoring in water.

Sustainable plant-wearable sensors for on-site, rapid decentralized detection of pesticides toward precision agriculture and food safety. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 155:213676. [PMID: 37944446 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
The synergy between eco-friendly biopolymeric films and printed devices leads to the production of plant-wearable sensors for decentralized analysis of pesticides in precision agriculture and food safety. Herein, a simple method for fabrication of flexible, and sustainable sensors printed on cellulose acetate (CA) substrates has been demonstrated to detect carbendazim and paraquat in agricultural, water and food samples. The biodegradable CA substrates were made by casting method while the full electrochemical system of three electrodes was deposited by screen-printing technique (SPE) to produce plant-wearable sensors. Analytical performance was assessed by differential pulse (DPV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) in a linear concentration range between 0.1 and 1.0 μM with detection limits of 54.9 and 19.8 nM for carbendazim and paraquat, respectively. The flexible and sustainable non-enzymatic plant-wearable sensor can detect carbendazim and paraquat on lettuce and tomato skins, and also water samples with no interference from other pesticides. The plant-wearable sensors had reproducible response being robust and stable against multiple flexions. Due to high sensitivity and selectivity, easy operation and rapid agrochemical detection, the plant-wearable sensors can be used to detect biomarkers in human biofluids and be used in on-site analysis of other hazardous chemical substances.

Abstract
Population and food requirements are increasing daily throughout the world. To fulfil these requirements application of pesticides is also increasing. Organophosphorous (OP) and Organocarbamate (OC) compounds are widely used pesticides. These pesticides are used for suicidal purposes too. Both inhibit Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cholinergic symptoms are mainly used for the diagnosis of pesticide poisoning. Although the symptoms of the intoxication of OP and OC are similar, recent research has described different targets for OP and OC pesticides. Researchers believe the distinction of OP/OC poisoning will be beneficial for the management of pesticide exposure. OP compounds produce adducts with several proteins. There is a new generation of OP compounds like glyphosate that do not inhibit AChE. Therefore, it's high time to develop biomarkers that can distinguish OP poisoning from OC poisoning.

Abstract
The increasing population of diabetic patients, especially in developing countries, has posed a serious risk to the health sector, so that the lack of timely diagnosis and treatment process of diabetes can lead to threatening complications for the human lifestyle. Here, a multiple sensor was fabricated on a paper substrate for rapid detection and controlling the progress of the diabetes disease. The proposed sensor utilized the sensing ability of porphyrazines, pH-sensitive dyes and silver nanoparticles in order to detect the differences in saliva composition of diabetic and non-diabetic patients. A unique color map (sensor response) was obtained for each studied group, which can be monitored by a scanner. Moreover, a good correlation was observed between the colorimetric response resulting from the analysis of salivary composition and the fasting blood glucose (FBG) value measured by standard laboratory instruments. It was also possible to classify participants into two groups, including patients caused by diabetes and those were non-diabetic persons with a total accuracy of 88.9%. Statistical evaluations show that the multiple sensor can be employed as an effective and non-invasive device for continuous monitoring of diabetes, substantially in the elderly.

Abstract
Both the environment and human health have suffered as a result of excessive and irrational pesticide use. The human body is vulnerable to a wide range of illnesses brought on by prolonged exposure to or intake of food contaminated with pesticide residues, including immunological and hormonal abnormalities and the development of certain tumors. Sensors based on nanoparticles stand out from more conventional spectrophotometry analytical methods due to their low detection limits, high sensitivity, and ease of use; that is why the demand for simple, fast, and less expensive sensing methods increases daily and presents myriad uses. Such demands are fulfilled by employing paper-based analytical devices having intrinsic properties. The presented work reports an on-site, easy-to-handle, and disposable paper-based sensing device for performing fast screening along with readout from a smartphone. The fabricated device utilizes luminescent silica quantum dots, immobilized into a paper cellulose matrix, and the resonance energy transfer phenomenon is employed. The silica quantum dots probes were fabricated from citric acid and, by undergoing physical adsorption, were confined on the nitrocellulose substrate in small wax-traced spots. The silica quantum dots were excited by smartphone ultraviolet LED, acting as an energy source and for capturing the image. The obtained LOD is 0.054 μM, and the coefficient of variation is less than 6.1%, comparable to the result obtained by UV-Visible and fluorometric analysis under similar experimental conditions. In addition, high reproducibility (≥9.8%) and high recovery ≥90% were obtained in spiked blood samples. The fabricated sensor sensitively detected pesticides giving a LOD of 2.5 ppm along with the development of yellow color within a short period of 5 min. The sensor functions well when sophisticated instrumentation is not accessible. The presented work shows the potential of the paper strip for the on-site detection of pesticides in biological and environmental samples.

Abstract
In this work, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) nanozymes paper-based analytical device was designed for the rapid detection of organophosphate pesticides in fruits and vegetables. The paper-based analytical device was modified with silica oxide nanoparticles to enhance the assay sensitivity. CuO nanozymes displayed peroxidase-like activity and catalyzed the oxidation of o-dianisidine in the presence of H2O2 from the hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine. This results in the formation of a brown-colored product. In the presence of organophosphate pesticides such as malathion, acetylcholinesterase activity was inhibited, resulting in reduced color intensity production, and which was measured with a smartphone. The proposed nanozymes paper-based analytical device exhibited a good linear detection range (0.1-5 mg L-1), a low detection limit of 0.08 mg L-1, and the analysis time was only about 10 min for malathion detection under optimal conditions. Moreover, the CuONPs had excellent catalytic activity and higher stability than peroxidase. Finally, this device can be applied to detect organophosphate pesticides in fruits and vegetables with rapidity, accuracy, portability, and ease of handling in the field.

Abstract
Herein, we developed a method coupling TLC and enzyme inhibition principles to rapidly detect OPs (dichlorvos, paraoxon and parathion). After the removal of the organic solvent from the samples using TLC and paper-based chips, the enzyme was added to the detection system. The results showed that the current method effectively reduced the effects of solvents on enzyme behavior. Moreover, the pigments could be successfully retained on TLC with 40% ddH2O/ACN solution (v/v) as a developing solvent. Additionally, the detection limits (LODs) were 0.002 µg/mL for dichlorvos, 0.006 µg/mL for paraoxon, and 0.003 µg/mL for parathion. Finally, the method was applied to spiked cabbage, cucumber, and spinach and showed good average recoveries ranging between 70.22% and 119.79%. These results showed that this paper-based chip had high sensitivity, precleaning, and elimination of organic solvent properties. Furthermore, it provides a valuable idea for sample pretreatment and rapid determination of pesticide residues in food.

Abstract
Engineering efficient dual-mode portable sensor with built-in cross reference correction is of great significance for onsite reliable and precise detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) and evading the false-positive outputs, especially in emergency case. Currently, most nanozyme-based sensors for OPs monitoring primarily replied on the peroxidase-like activity, which involved unstable and toxic H2O2. In this scenario, a hybrid oxidase-like 2D fluorescence nanozyme (PtPdNPs@g-C3N4) was yielded by in situ growing PtPdNPs in the ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheet. When acetylcholinesterase (AChE) hydrolyzed acetylthiocholine (ATCh) to thiocholine (TCh), it ablated O2-• from the dissolved O2 catalyzed by PtPdNPs@g-C3N4's oxidase-like activity, hampering the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into 2,3-diaminophenothiazine (DAP). Consequently, with the increasing concentration of OPs which inhibited the blocking effect by inactivating AChE, the produced DAP caused an apparent color change and a dual-color ratiometric fluorescence change in the response system. Through integrating into a smartphone, a H2O2-free 2D nanozyme-based onsite colorimetric and fluorescence dual-mode visual imaging sensor for OPs was proposed with acceptable results in real samples, which holds vast promise for further development of commercial point-of-care testing platform in early warning and controlling of OPs pollution for safeguarding environmental health and food safety.

Abstract
The detection of biogenic amines released from degraded meats is an effective method for evaluating meat freshness. However, existing traditional methods like titration are deemed tedious, while the use of sophisticated analytical instruments is not amenable to field testing. Herein, a cyanostilbene-based fluorescent array was rapidly fabricated using macroarray synthesis on a cellulose paper surface to detect amines liberated from spoiled beef, fish, and chicken. The fluorescence changes of immobilized molecules from the interaction with gaseous amines were used to monitor changes in freshness levels. Thanks to the high-throughput nature of macroarray synthesis, a set of highly responsive molecules such as pyridinium and dicyanovinyl moieties were quickly revealed. Importantly, this method offers flexibility in sensing applications including (1) sensing by individual sensor molecules, where the fluorescence response correlated well with established titration methods, and (2) collective sensing whereby chemometric analysis was used to provide a cutoff of freshness with 73-100% accuracy depending on meat types. Overall, this study paves the way for a robust and cost-effective tool for monitoring meat freshness.

[PMID: 37127668 PMCID: PMC10151347 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-34299-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) measurement is considered highly important in industrial wastewater quality assessment, environmental protection, and disease detection. Here, a simple high-performance paper-based sensor is proposed for rapid and in situ detection of H2O2. To this end, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine is embedded in the sensor to act as a color indicator, whose reaction with hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by a silver nanozyme modified by sericin. The result of the reaction clarified by the appearance of blue color in the sensor detection zone is received by a portable scanner, while also calculating its intensity by image analysis software. This method is sensitive to hydrogen peroxide in the concentration range of 0.5‒240 mg/dL, providing a detection limit of 0.15 mg/dL. The ability of the sensor to determine glucose is also evaluated by adding a layer containing glucose oxidase enzyme to the sensor structure. A desirable response is obtained in the range of 1.0‒160 mg/dL, together with a detection limit of 0.37 mg/dL. Accordingly, the proposed sensor shows satisfactory results compared to clinical methods for monitoring the amount of glucose in biological samples such as serum and saliva.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1253:341055. [PMID: 36965997 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/05/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Organophosphorus pesticides are widely used in agriculture owing to their high effectiveness as insecticides. Among these, diazinon is a common environmental contaminant that acts as an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme inhibitor. As the current methods are too expensive and time-consuming for routine analysis of diazinon, its trace monitoring by rapid and sensitive methods is critical to protect the environment and human health. RESULTS A biosensor was introduced for the indirect detection of diazinon using a molybdenum disulfide/zirconium metal-organic framework (MoS2@MIP-202(Zr)) nanocomposite. The probe is based on the peroxidase mimic of the prepared nanocomposite on NaHCO3-H2O2 chemiluminescence system as well as the inhibitory effect of diazinon on the enzymatic activity of AChE. The chemiluminescence signal is gradually decreased with an increase in diazinon concentration, and there is a linear relationship between the analytical signal and diazinon concentration. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration plot is linear in the concentration range of 0.5-300.0 nmol L-1. The limit of detection and quantification limit of the method are 0.12 and 0.40 nmol L-1, respectively. The inter-day and intra-day relative standard deviations (% RSD n = 5, diazinon concentration; 100 nmol L-1) are 3.66 and 1.35%, respectively. The method was used for diazinon detection in real water samples, and the high relative recovery values for the spiked samples along with satisfactory results of a certified reference material analysis confirmed that the method is accurate and free from the matrix effect. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY A nano-probe based on the peroxidase-like property of MoS2@MIP-202(Zr) nanocomposite was developed for the first time for indirect detection of residue levels of diazinon in water samples. The high stability of the nanocomposite makes it a good alternative for natural peroxidase enzymes such as horseradish peroxidase with low stability.

Abstract
Herein, a rapid, precise alpha-cyclodextrin (α-CD) based gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for selective detection of malathion pesticides has been reported. These are organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs), that can cause a neurological disease by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). It is important to exploit a quick and sensitive approach for monitoring OPPs. Hence in the present work, a colorimetric assay for the detection of malathion has been developed as a model of OPPs from the environmental sample matrices. The physical and chemical properties of synthesized alpha-cyclodextrin stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/α-CD) were studied with various characterization techniques, including UV-visible spectroscopy, TEM, DLS and FTIR. The designed sensing system displayed linearity in the broad range of malathion concentrations, 10-600 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection and the limit of quantification values 4.03 ng mL-1 and 12.96 ng mL-1, respectively. The application of the designed chemical sensor was extended to the malathion pesticide determination in real samples such as vegetables, which resulted in almost 100% recovery rates in all the spiked samples. Thus, due to these advantages, the present study established a selective, facile and sensitive colorimetric platform for the direct detection of malathion within a very short time (5 min) with a low detection limit. The practicality of the constructed platform was further executed by the detection of the pesticide in vegetable samples.

Abstract
Environmental toxic pollutants and pathogens that enter the ecosystem are major global issues. Detection of these toxic chemicals/pollutants and the diagnosis of a disease is a first step in efficiently controlling their contamination and spread, respectively. Various analytical techniques are available to detect and determine toxic chemicals/pathogens, including liquid chromatography, HPLC, mass spectroscopy, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. However, these sensing strategies have some drawbacks such as tedious sample pretreatment and preparation, the requirement for skilled technicians, and dependence on large laboratory-based instruments. Alternatively, biosensors, especially paper-based sensors, could be used extensively and are a cost-effective alternative to conventional laboratory testing. They can improve accessibility to testing to identify chemicals and pollutants, especially in developing countries. Due to its low cost, abundance, easy disposal (by incineration, for example) and biocompatible nature, paper is considered a versatile material for the development of environmentally friendly electrochemical/optical (bio) sensor devices. This review presents an overview of sensing platforms constructed from paper, pointing out the main merits and demerits of paper-based sensing systems, their fabrication techniques, and the different optical/electrochemical detection techniques that they exploit.

Abstract
In this study, based on the oxidase activity and photothermal effect of manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2 NSs), with thiamine (TH) as the fluorescence response signal and tris (2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) hexahydrate as the reference signal, an enzyme-regulated ratiometric fluorescence and photothermal dual-mode probe was constructed for the quantitative detection of organophosphorus pesticide (OPs) residues. OPs reduced the production of the reductive product thiocholine by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase, thereby regulating the residual amount of MnO2 NSs. With the increase of OPs concentration, the color of the probe solution gradually transitioned from red to blue, and the temperature gradually increased. Using dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos as pesticide models, the developed probes exhibited sensitive responses to OPs in a wide linear range of 0.1-8000 ng/mL. The detection limits of dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos in fluorescence mode were 1.13 × 10-3 ng/mL and 0.86 ng/mL, respectively. The corresponding detection limits in photothermal mode were 1.01 ng/mL and 1.02 ng/mL, respectively. The proposed probe displayed excellent anti-interference and reliability in the analysis of OPs residues in real samples. The dual-mode probe with self-verification function is expected to provide more accurate and robust detection results than the single-mode probe, and has a wider application prospect.

Abstract
Herein, we present a novel Origami 3D-μPAD for colorimetric carbaryl detection using a super-efficient catalyst, namely mesoporous silica-platinum nanoparticles coated with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MSN-PtNPs@MIP). Morphological and structural characterization reveals that coating MIP on the MSN-PtNPs surface significantly increases the selective area, leading to larger numbers of imprinting sites for improved sensitivity and selectivity in determining carbaryl. The as-prepared MSN-PtNPs@MIP was used for catalytic oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2. Carbaryl selectively binds to the cavities embedded on the MSN-PtNPs surface and subsequently inhibits TMB oxidation leading the color to change to light blue. The change of reaction color from dark blue to light blue depends on the concentration of carbaryl within the 3D-μPAD detection zone. This design integrates the advantages of highly efficient sample delivery through micro channels (top layer) and efficient partition/separation paths (bottom layer) of the cellulose substrate to achieve both improved detection sensitivity and selectivity. Assay on the Origami 3D-μPAD can determine carbaryl by ImageJ detection, over a dynamic range of 0.002-20.00 mg kg-1, with a very low limit of detection at 1.5 ng g-1. The developed 3D-μPAD exhibit high accuracy when applied to detect carbaryl in fruits, with satisfactory recoveries from 90.1% to 104.0% and relative differences from the reference HPLC values less than 5.0%. Furthermore, the fabricated Origami 3D-μPAD provides reliable durability and good reproducibility (3.19% RSD for fifteen devices).

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CHL), profenofos (PRO) and cypermethrin (CYP) are widely used in combination to increase crop yields. However, these three pesticides can cause serious harm to human health and do not easily degrade. In this study, a novel visible paper sensor has been prepared successfully and different colorimetric reactions were utilized to detect the three pesticides simultaneously. The sensor was constructed by grafting a zwitterionic polymer onto a cellulose filter (CF) and placing it on a glass surface modified with PDMS. The branch shape was designed to form multiple detection areas, which were modified with specific pesticides and corresponding chromogenic reagents. The as-prepared colorimetric platform exhibited high sensitivity, a short detection time, a good linear response and a low detection limit (LOD) for the three pesticides (chlorpyrifos: y = 46.801 - 1.939x, R2 = 0.983, LOD = 0.235 mg/L; profenofos: y = 40.068 + 42.5x, R2 = 0.988, LOD = 4.891 mg/L; cypermethrin: y = 51.993 + 1.474x, R2 = 0.993, LOD = 4.053 mg/L). The comparison of the results obtained by the proposed paper sensor and those obtained by spectrophotometry further revealed the stability and reliability of the paper sensor. In particular, the color intensity of the interaction between the pesticides and coloring agents could be directly observed by the human eye. The consistency of the colorimetric/optical assay was proven in real target pesticide samples. Thus, this sensing strategy provides a portable, cost-effective, accurate and visualized paper platform, which could be suitable for application in the fruit and vegetable industry for monitoring CHL, PRO and CYP in parallel.

Abstract
The residues of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) have drawn worldwide increasing attention because of their potential fatal effects on human health and ecological systems. It is of great significance to develop an efficient and portable method for in-field detection of OPs. Herein, a novel core-shell nanocomposite of prussian blue@Fe-covalent organic framework@Au (PB@Fe-COF@Au) was constructed. Fe2+ and Fe3+ in PB nanoparticle (PBNP) cores, Fe-porphyrin in COF shells, and AuNPs grown on shells all acted as peroxidase-like catalytic active sites, enabling PB@Fe-COF@Au to possess triplet peroxidase-like activity. A colorimetric, affordable, sensitive, and selective strategy was designed to detect OPs. Compared with previous reports, this sensor realized a wider linear range for chlorpyrifos of 10-800 ng mL-1 with a relatively lower detection limit of 0.61 ng mL-1, which was attributed to the overlapping triple catalytic sites of PB@Fe-COF@Au and triple response sites to OPs. The assay was successfully employed to detect chlorpyrifos in food and environmental samples. Moreover, to meet the demand of in-field detection for OPs, a spherical hydrogel method based on PB@Fe-COF@Au with visual, portable, and equipment-free features was fabricated. This work provides a new pathway to design and apply effective nanozymes for on-site monitoring of pesticides.

Due to their permanent porosity, robust chemical stability, and tunable structure, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are very attractive in the application of energy storage, catalysis, sorption, and sensing. However, the very low conductivity of COFs severely restricts their application in electrochemical sensing. Here, an aza-fused π-conjugated COFs with abundant carbonyl groups (COF1) was synthesized and deployed as electrode materials in electrochemical sensing for the first time. The current response of the acetylcholinesterase biosensor based on COF1 increases three times when compared to the electrode without COF1. The effects of carbonyl groups on signal enhancement were proved in depth by a series of characterization and comparison experiments with the prepared COF2 without carbonyl groups. The results demonstrated that exposed carbonyl active sites of COF1 can promote the effective immobilization and bioactivity preserving of enzyme molecules and contribute to the enrichment of analytes. Together with the good conductivity of COF1 derived from a fully extended 2D aromatized π-conjugated system, all of which improve the biosensor performance. The COF1-based biosensor exhibited fast response speed, high sensitivity, good selectivity and practicability, and robust stability for organophosphorus pesticide detection and proved to be a promising tool for the rapid and onsite detection of organophosphorus pesticides in the environment.

Biosensors Based on Acetylcholinesterase Immobilized on Clay-Gold Nanocomposites for the Discrimination of Chlorpyrifos and Carbaryl. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:39848-39859. [PMID: 36385833 PMCID: PMC9647858 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c03899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
This work aims at evaluating a utilization of diverse clay mineral/gold nanoparticles/acetylcholinesterase (clay/AuNPs/AChE) biosensors by using principal component analysis (PCA) for the discrimination of pesticide types and their concentration levels both in the synthetic and real samples. Applications of simple and low-cost clay/AuNP composites of different characteristics as modified-electrode materials are highlighted. Four types of clay minerals, namely, platelike kaolinite (Kaol: 1:1 aluminum phyllosilicate), globular montmorillonite (Mt: 2:1 aluminum phyllosilicate), globular bentonite (Bent: 2:1 aluminum phyllosilicate), and fibrous sepiolite (Sep: 2:1 inverted ribbons of magnesium phyllosilicate), were selected as the base materials. Due to the distinct characteristics of the selected clay, the derived clay/AuNP composites resulted in different physical morphologies, AuNP sizes and loadings, matrix hydrophobicity, and active AChE loading per electrode. These, in turn, caused divergent electrochemical responses for the pesticide determination; hence, no other enzymes apart from AChE were necessary for the fabrication of distinct biosensors. Physical and chemical characterizations of clay/AuNPs were conducted using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. The electrochemical information was recorded by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry techniques. The enzyme inhibition results obtained from the pesticides were treated and used as input data to obtain PCA results. The four fabricated clay/AuNPs/AChE biosensors were able to discriminate chlorpyrifos and carbaryl and their concentration levels for synthetic pesticides and real samples. It was disclosed that a high enzyme inhibition and a high hydrophobic modified-electrode material affect a highly sensitive pesticide biosensor. The hydrophobic/hydrophilic character of the modified-electrode material plays a major role in discriminating the pesticide types and their concentration levels by the proposed single-enzyme sensor system. The PCA results illustrated that PC2 described the different types of pesticides, and PC1 showed the level of pesticide concentration with high first two principal components. The mixed pesticides could be identified at an especially low total concentration of 0.5 ng/mL in real samples.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 440:129707. [PMID: 35986944 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
For the visual detection of four organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), a colorimetric aptasensor was developed based on aptamer-mediated bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) nano-polymers. Fe-Co magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and Fe-N-C nanozymes were prepared based on pyrolytic reaction, and were labeled with broad spectrum aptamers and complementary chains of organophosphorus pesticides respectively. The hybridization of aptamers and complementary chains led to the formation of nano-polymers. In the presence of target pesticides, they competed with complementary chains for aptamers on Fe-Co MNPs, resulting in a large number of Fe-N-C nanozymes signal labels being released into the supernatant. Fe-N-C nanozymes showed similar activity to peroxidase and catalyzed the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine-hydrogen peroxide (TMB-H2O2) color system to turn the solution blue-green under mild conditions. The magnetic probes had good selectivity and sensitivity, and were easily separated by magnetic absorption. The sensor functioned well under optimal conditions, demonstrating good stability and specificity for four pesticides: phorate, profenofos, isocarbophos and omethoate, and the detection limits of four pesticides were as low as 0.16 ng/mL, 0.16 ng/mL, 0.03 ng/mL and 1.6 ng/mL respectively, and the recovery rate of OPs residue in vegetable samples was satisfactory. The work described here provided a simple, rapid and sensitive way to construct a biosensor.

Abstract
In November 2019, for the first time in the history of the Chemical Weapons Convention, changes were made to Schedule 1 of the Annex on Chemicals. While there is little in the scientific literature regarding any of these newly scheduled chemicals, the carbamates, specifically, prove to be substantially different, both in terms of their chemical composition and their toxicological effects, from all the other scheduled nerve agents and have yet to be fully reported on in the literature. Herein, we present a literature review of the available information on carbamates included in Schedule 1, as well as analogous other carbamates, and provide a summary of their utility and function as cholinesterase inhibitors in general and their toxicities. Though there is a paucity of studies in the literature related to the detection of these newly scheduled quaternary and bisquaternary carbamates and/or their biomarkers, information available on carbamate pesticides may be a solid starting point to further postulate amenable detection methodologies. Lastly, we note some implications of these newly scheduled carbamates for the nonproliferation and disarmament community.

Abstract
This study aims to use a paper-based sensor array for point-of-care detection of COVID-19 diseases. Various chemical compounds such as nanoparticles, organic dyes and metal ion complexes were employed as sensing elements in the array fabrication, capturing the metabolites of human serum samples. The viral infection caused the type and concentration of serum compositions to change, resulting in different color responses for the infected and control samples. For this purpose, 118 serum samples of COVID-19 patients and non-COVID controls both men and women with the age range of 14–88 years were collected. The serum samples were initially subjected to the sensor, followed by monitoring the variation in the color of sensing elements for 5 min using a scanner. By taking into consideration the statistical information, this method was capable of discriminating COVID-19 patients and control samples with 83.0% accuracy. The variation of age did not influence the colorimetric patterns. The desirable correlation was observed between the sensor responses and viral load values calculated by the PCR test, proposing a rapid and facile way to estimate the disease severity. Compared to other rapid detection methods, the developed assay is cost-effective and user-friendly, allowing for screening COVID-19 diseases reliably.

Abstract
This work presents, for the first time, a fast and highly sensitive electrochemical method for determination of three organophosphorus compounds (OPs), diazinon (DZN), malathion (MLT), and chlorpyrifos (CLPF), using a modified pyrolytic graphite electrode (PGE) coupled to batch injection analysis system with multiple pulse amperometric detection (BIA-MPA). The PGE was modified by a nanocomposite based on functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTf) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The OPs samples were directly analyzed on the modified working electrode surface by BIA-MPA system in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer 0.15 mol L-1 at pH 6.0. The MPA detection of DZN, MLT and CLPF was performed using two potential pulses, which were sequentially applied on modified PGE at -1.3 V (100 ms) and +0.8 V (100 ms) for selective determination of these three OPs and working electrode cleaning, respectively. Under optimized conditions, the sensor presented a linear range of 0.1-20 μmol L-1 for DZN, 1.0-30 μmol L-1 for MLT and from 0.25 to 50 μmol L-1 for CLPF. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 0.35 and 1.18 μmol L-1 for DZN, 0.89 and 2.98 μmol L-1 for MLT, and 0.53 and 1.78 μmol L-1 for CLPF were obtained. The proposed method exhibited high sensitivity of 0.068, 0.030 and 0.043 mA L μmol-1 for DZN, MLT and CLPF detection, respectively. Furthermore, the BIA-MPA system provided an analytical frequency of 71 determinations per hour for direct determination of these OPs in water and food samples. The modified PGE coupled to BIA-MPA system showed a high stability of electrochemical response for OPs detection with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.60% (n = 20). The addition-recovery studies of the proposed method were carried out in tap water, orange juice, and apple fruit real samples, which showed suitable recovery values between 77 and 124%. The analytical performance of the developed sensor provides an attractive alternative method for OPs determination with great potential for a fast and sensitive application in contaminated samples with these pesticides.

Abstract
A colorimetric sensor array designed on a paper substrate with a microfluidic structure has been developed. This array is capable of detecting COVID-19 disease by tracking metabolites of urine samples. In order to determine minor metabolic changes, various colorimetric receptors consisting of gold and silver nanoparticles, metalloporphyrins, metal ion complexes, and pH-sensitive indicators are used in the array structure. By injecting a small volume of the urine sample, the color pattern of the sensor changes after 7 min, which can be observed visually. The color changes of the receptors (recorded by a scanner) are subsequently calculated by image analysis software and displayed as a color difference map. This study has been performed on 130 volunteers, including 60 patients infected by COVID-19, 55 healthy controls, and 15 cured individuals. The resulting array provides a fingerprint response for each category due to the differences in the metabolic profile of the urine sample. The principal component analysis-discriminant analysis confirms that the assay sensitivity to the correctly detected patient, healthy, and cured participants is equal to 73.3%, 74.5%, and 66.6%, respectively. Apart from COVID-19, other diseases such as chronic kidney disease, liver disorder, and diabetes may be detectable by the proposed sensor. However, this performance of the sensor must be tested in the studies with a larger sample size. These results show the possible feasibility of the sensor as a suitable alternative to costly and time-consuming standard methods for rapid detection and control of viral and bacterial infectious diseases and metabolic disorders.

Abstract
A dual-fluorescence lab-on-fiber biosensor was developed for the rapid and simultaneous on-site determination of acetamiprid and fipronil, based on time-resolved effect and indirect competitive immunoassay principle. The optical fiber modified with two hapten-protein conjugates serves as a bifunctional bio-probe. The dual-color fluorescent reporters were prepared via labeling acetamiprid and fipronil antibodies with Cy5.5 and Alexa Fluor 555, which were excited at 635-nm and 520-nm laser wavelengths, respectively. In the presence of targets, the binding sites of corresponding antibodies were occupied and less antibodies were connected to the probe surface, resulting in the reduction of fluorescence signal. The concentration of acetamiprid and fipronil was determined by measuring the fluorescence signals at 568 nm and 702 nm (emission wavelengths), respectively. Under optimal conditions, the linear response range was 14.2-225.4 ng/L for acetamiprid and 25.1-162.8 ng/L for fipronil, and the limit of detection was 6.51 ng/L and 17.8 ng/L for acetamiprid and fipronil, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the simultaneous detection of acetamiprid and fipronil in three environmental samples, and the recoveries were between 90 and 128%. The dual-fluorescence lab-on-fiber biosensor provides a feasible platform for simultaneous and rapid detection of multiple pesticide residues. A dual-fluorescence lab-on-fiber biosensor was developed for the rapid and simultaneous on-site determination of acetamiprid and fipronil. A bifunctional bio-probe was prepared from the optical fiber modified with two hapten-protein conjugates. Acetamiprid and fipronil antibodies were labeled with different fluorophores and used as dual-color fluorescent reporters.

Abstract
The monitoring of profile concentrations of chemical markers in saliva samples can be used to diagnose COVID-19 patients, and differentiate them from healthy individuals. Here, this purpose is achieved by designing a paper-based colorimetric sensor with an origami structure, containing general receptors such as pH-sensitive organic dyes, Lewis donors or acceptors, functionalized nanoparticles, and ion metal complexes. The color changes taking place in the receptors in the presence of chemical markers are visually observed and recorded with a digital instrument. Different types and amounts of the chemical markers provide the sensor with a unique response for patients (60 samples) or healthy (55 samples) individuals. These two categories can be discriminated with 84.3% accuracy. This study evidences that the saliva composition of cured and healthy participants is different from each other with accuracy of 85.7%. Moreover, viral load values obtained from the rRT-PCR method can be estimated by the designed sensor. Besides COVID-19, it may possible to simultaneously identify smokers and people with kidney disease and diabetes using the specified electronic tongue. Due to its high efficiency, the prepared paper device can be employed as a rapid detection kit to detect COVID-19.

Abstract
A paper-based optical nose was fabricated by dropping bimetallic silver and gold nanoparticles on a paper substrate. The nanoparticles were synthesized by both natural (lemon, pomegranate, and orange juices) and chemical (citrate, gallic acid, and ascorbic acid) reducing agents. The performance of the assay was evaluated for identifying gasoline and five ignitable liquids such as diesel, ethanol, methanol, kerosene, and thinner. The interaction of the sensor with sample vapors caused aggregation, consequently changing the color of nanoparticles. The color changes, which were captured by a scanner, represented a specified colorimetric map for each analyte, allowing one to identify the studied fuels. The visual results were confirmed using multivariate statistical analysis such as principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis. Also, partial least-squares regression was used to assist the proposed assay for estimating the amount of studied ignitable liquids as counterfeit species in the gasoline sample. The root-mean-square errors for prediction were 3.4, 2.1, 1.9, 2.0, and 1.7% for diesel, thinner, kerosene, ethanol, and methanol, respectively. Finally, the fabricated sensor indicated high efficiency for the on-site detection of pure industrial gasoline samples from adulterated ones.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are generally utilized for the protection of crops from pests. Because the use of OPPs in various agricultural operations has expanded dramatically, precise monitoring of their concentration levels has become the critical issue, which will help in the protection of ecological systems and food supply. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified them as extremely dangerous chemical compounds. Taking their immense use and toxicity into consideration, the development of easy, rapid and highly sensitive techniques is necessary. Despite the fact that there are numerous conventional ways for detecting OPPs, the development of portable sensors is required to make routine analysis considerably more convenient. Some of these advanced techniques include colorimetric sensors, fluorescence sensors, molecular imprinted polymer-based sensors, and surface plasmon resonance-based sensors. This review article specifically focuses on the colorimetric, fluorescence and electrochemical sensors. In this article, the sensing strategies of these developed sensors, analytical conditions and their respective limit of detection are compiled.

Abstract
The fast detection of trace amounts of hazardous contaminations can prevent serious damage to the environment. Paper-based sensors offer a new perspective on the world of analytical methods, overcoming previous limitations by fabricating a simple device with valuable benefits such as flexibility, biocompatibility, disposability, biodegradability, easy operation, large surface-to-volume ratio, and cost-effectiveness. Depending on the performance type, the device can be used to analyze the analyte in the liquid or vapor phase. For liquid samples, various structures (including a dipstick, as well as microfluidic and lateral flow) have been constructed. Paper-based 3D sensors are prepared by gluing and folding different layers of a piece of paper, being more user-friendly, due to the combination of several preparation methods, the integration of different sensor elements, and the connection between two methods of detection in a small set. Paper sensors can be used in chromatographic, electrochemical, and colorimetric processes, depending on the type of transducer. Additionally, in recent years, the applicability of these sensors has been investigated in various applications, such as food and water quality, environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis, and medical sciences. Here, we review the development (from 2010 to 2021) of paper methods in the field of the detection and determination of toxic substances.

Abstract
Paper-based analytical devices (PADs) have emerged as a promising approach to point-of-care (POC) detection applications in biomedical and clinical diagnosis owing to their advantages, including cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and rapid responses as well as for being equipment-free, disposable, and user-friendly. However, the overall sensitivity of PADs still remains weak, posing a challenge for biosensing scientists exploiting them in clinical applications. This review comprehensively summarizes the current applicable potential of PADs, focusing on total signal-amplification strategies that have been applied widely in PADs involving colorimetry, luminescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, photoacoustic, photothermal, and photoelectrochemical methods as well as nucleic acid-mediated PAD modifications. The advances in signal-amplification strategies in terms of signal-enhancing principles, sensitivity, and time reactions are discussed in detail to provide an overview of these approaches to using PADs in biosensing applications. Furthermore, a comparison of these methods summarizes the potential for scientists to develop superior PADs. This review serves as a useful inside look at the current progress and prospective directions in using PADs for clinical diagnostics and provides a better source of reference for further investigations, as well as innovations, in the POC diagnostics field.

Origami paper analytical assay based on metal complex sensor for rapid determination of blood cyanide concentration in fire survivors. Sci Rep 2021; 11:3521.

Abstract
Cyanide-based blood poisoning can seriously damage fire victims and cause death if not detected quickly. Previous conventional methods require laboratory equipment, which are expensive and increase the duration of the analysis. Here, a simple origami based microfluidic device was introduced for point of need detection of blood cyanide concentration in people involved in fire. The device is made of four layers of paper. Each layer was in the size of 1 × 1 cm folded on each other. In this work, the blood sample was acidified by trichloroacetic acid to separate cyanide from methaemoglobin in the form of HCN gas. The produced gas released into borate buffer to recover free cyanide ions which interacted with the Pt complex ([Pt(p-MeC6H4)2(phen)]) used as a receptor in this study. Optimized conditions were applied to have a suitable interaction causing the color of the receptor to change from yellow to colorless. The color changes were recorded by a smartphone, and the sensor response was calculated by the routine image analysis software. The assay was capable of determining cyanide ions at different concentrations in the range of 1.0 to 100.0 µmol L−1. The detection limit of these determination was equal to 0.4 µmol L−1. The assay responses were not affected by the interfering species. As a practical analysis, the proposed sensor was applied to determine cyanide ions in the blood sample of 20 studied fire survivors and 10 controls with high accuracy.
