Two swords combination: Smartphone-assisted ratiometric fluorescent and paper sensors for dual-mode detection of glyphosate in edible malt. Food Chem 2024; 454:139744. [PMID: 38797096 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
The long-term and excessive use of glyphosate (GLY) in diverse matrices has caused serious hazard to the human and environment. However, the ultrasensitive detection of GLY still remains challenging. In this study, the smartphone-assisted dual-signal mode ratiometric fluorescent and paper sensors based on the red-emissive gold nanoclusters (R-AuNCs) and blue-emissive carbon dots (B-CDs) were ingeniously designed accurate and sensitive detection of GLY. Upon the presence of GLY, it would quench the fluorescence of B-CDs through dynamic quenching effect, and strengthen the fluorescence response of R-AuNCs due to aggregation-induced enhancement effect. Through calculating the GLY-induced fluorescence intensity ratio of B-CDs to R-AuNCs by using a fluorescence spectrophotometer, low to 0.218 μg/mL of GLY could be detected in lab in a wide concentration range of 0.3-12 μg/mL with high recovery of 94.7-103.1% in the spiked malt samples. The smartphone-assisted ratiometric fluorescent sensor achieved in the 96-well plate could monitor 0-11 μg/mL of GLY with satisfactory recovery of 94.1-107.0% in real edible malt matrices for high-throughput analysis. In addition, a portable smartphone-assisted ratiometric paper sensor established through directly depositing the combined B-CDs/R-AuNCs probes on the test strip could realize on-site measurement of 2-8 μg/mL of GLY with good linear relationship. This study provides new insights into developing the dual-signal ratiometric sensing platforms for the in-lab sensitive detection, high-throughput analysis, and on-site portable measurement of more trace contaminants in foods, clinical and environmental samples.

Abstract
An electrochemical aptasensor for detecting lipopolysaccharides (LPS) was fabricated based on DNA-templated copper nanoparticles (DNA-CuNPs) and RecJf exonuclease-assisted target recycling. The DNA-CuNPs were synthesized on a double-stranded DNA template generated through the hybridization of the LPS aptamer and its complementary chain (cDNA). In the absence of LPS, the CuNPs were synthesized on DNA double-strands, and a strong readout corresponding to the CuNPs was achieved at 0.10 V (vs. SCE). In the presence of LPS, the fabricated aptamer could detach from the DNA double-strand to form a complex with LPS, disrupting the template for the synthesis of CuNPs on the electrode. Meanwhile, RecJf exonuclease could hydrolyze the cDNA together with this single-stranded aptamer, releasing the LPS for the next round of aptamer binding, thereby enabling target recycling amplification. As a result, the electrochemical signal decreased and could be used to indicate the LPS content. The fabricated electrochemical aptasensor exhibited an extensive dynamic working range of 0.01 pg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1, and its detection limit was 6.8 fg mL-1. The aptasensor also exhibited high selectivity and excellent reproducibility. Moreover, the proposed aptasensor could be used in practical applications for the detection of LPS in human serum samples.

Abstract
As glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide extensively used in agriculture worldwide, rapid glyphosate detection is essential for food safety and human health. Herein, a ratio fluorescence test strip was prepared and coupled with an amino-functionalized bismuth-based metal-organic framework (NH2-Bi-MOF) that bonded with copper ion for rapid visualization and determination of glyphosate. NH2-Bi-MOF had excellent fluorescence performance, and the copper ion, a Lewis acid, was selected as the quencher. The strong chelation of glyphosate with copper ion and its quick interaction with NH2-Bi-MOF would turn on the fluorescence signal, thus enabling the quantitative sensing of glyphosate, with a linear range of 0.10-200 µmol L-1, and recoveries between 94.8% and 113.5%. The system was then expanded to a ratio fluorescence test strip, in which the fluorescent ring sticker was set as a binding-in self-calibration to reduce errors from the angle and light dependency. The method realized the visual semi-quantitation referring to a standard card, as well as the ratio quantitation using the gray value output with LOD of 0.82 µmol L-1. And the as-developed test strip was accessible, portable, and reliable, thus offering a platform for the rapid on-site detection of glyphosate and other residual pesticides.

Foods 2023; 12:2487.

Abstract
Glyphosate has excellent herbicidal activity, and its extensive use may induce residue in the environment and enter into humans living through the food chain, causing negative impact. Here, water-soluble 1.55 nm size nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCDs) with strong blue fluorescence were synthesized using sodium citrate and adenine. The maximum excitation and emission wavelengths of NCDs were 380 nm and 440 nm, respectively. The above synthesized NCDs were first used for the construction of a fluorescence sensor for glyphosate detection. It was found that Cu2+ could quench the fluorescence of NCDs effectively through the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process, which was confirmed using fluorescence lifetime measurements. Additionally, the fluorescence was restored with the addition of glyphosate. Hence, a sensitive turn-on fluorescence sensor based on NCDs/Cu2+ for glyphosate analysis was developed. The LODs of glyphosate for water and rice samples were recorded as 0.021 μg/mL and 0.049 μg/mL, respectively. The sensor was applied successfully for ultrasensitive and selective detection of glyphosate in environmental water and rice samples with satisfied recoveries from 82.1% to 113.0% using a simple sample pretreatment technique. The proposed strategy can provide a significant potential for monitoring glyphosate residue in water and agricultural product samples.

Abstract
In this work, a simple dual-mode immunoassay for detecting Ochratoxin A (OTA) was developed by mixing G-quadruplex/N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (G4/NMM) and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The fluorescence of G4/NMM can be quenched by oxidized TMB (oxTMB) because the absorbance of oxTMB overlapped with the fluorescence emission of G4/NMM. In the absence of OTA, large amounts of oxTMB were formed with blue color and the fluorescence of G4/NMM was quenched. In the presence of OTA, the concentration of oxTMB was decreased, therefore the fluorescence of G4/NMM increased. The linear range of fluorescence immunoassay was 0.195-25 ng/mL, and the linear range of the absorbance immunoassay was 0.049-1.563 ng/mL. Thus, the linear range of this dual-mode immunoassay can be expanded to 0.049-25 ng/mL. Meanwhile, the new method showed good selectivity for OTA. Besides, the satisfactory recovery rates implied the new method had a potential value for practical sample detection.

A dual-channel probe based on copper ion-mediated metal organic framework composite for colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescence monitoring of glyphosate degradation in soil and water. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:372. [PMID: 36066687 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05473-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
A dual-channel probe was developed, based on a novel composite metal organic frameworks (ZnMOF-74@Al-MOF) for glyphosate determination through ratio fluorescence and colorimetric methods. The prepared probe can not only recognize and combine glyphosate by introducing copper ion into the MOF, but also possess peroxidase-like catalytic activity. The recognition of target glyphosate brought about changes relative to its concentration on fluorescence intensity and ultraviolet absorption. And, the high specific surface area and porosity of porphyrin MOF provides the developed probe with more response opportunities to afford a better detection performance for glyphosate. Under optimum conditions, the copper ion-mediated method exhibited good detection performance for glyphosate with low detection limits (0.070 and 0.092 μg mL-1 for fluorescence and colorimetric techniques, respectively). Furthermore, the possible mechanisms of the fluorescence quenching and the peroxidase-like catalytic of the probe were also explored. This dual-channel method was applied to monitor glyphosate degradation in environmental samples and satisfactory results were obtained.
