A Novel Biosensing Approach: Improving SnS 2 FET Sensitivity with a Tailored Supporter Molecule and Custom Substrate. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023; 10:e2303654. [PMID: 37863822 PMCID: PMC10667857 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202303654] [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: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
The exclusive features of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as high surface-to-volume ratios, tunable electronic properties, and biocompatibility, provide promising opportunities for developing highly sensitive biosensors. However, developing practical biosensors that can promptly detect low concentrations of target analytes remains a challenging task. Here, a field-effect-transistor comprising n-type transition metal dichalcogenide tin disulfide (SnS2 ) is developed over the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) for the detection of streptavidin protein (Strep.) as a target analyte. A self-designed receptor based on the pyrene-lysine conjugated with biotin (PLCB) is utilized to maintain the sensitivity of the SnS2 /h-BN FET because of the π-π stacking. The detection capabilities of SnS2 /h-BN FET are investigated using both Raman spectroscopy and electrical characterizations. The real-time electrical measurements exhibit that the SnS2 /h-BN FET is capable of detecting streptavidin at a remarkably low concentration of 0.5 pm, within 13.2 s. Additionally, the selectivity of the device is investigated by measuring its response against a Cow-like serum egg white protein (BSA), having a comparative molecular weight to that of the streptavidin. These results indicate a high sensitivity and rapid response of SnS2 /h-BN biosensor against the selective proteins, which can have significant implications in several fields including point-of-care diagnostics, drug discovery, and environmental monitoring.

[PMID: 37998130 PMCID: PMC10669513 DOI: 10.3390/bios13110955] [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: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
Sensitive detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) is significant and essential because OTA may pose risks to human and animal health. Here, we developed an electrochemical aptasensor for OTA analysis using polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers as a signal amplifier. As a carrier, PAMAM has numerous primary amino groups that can be coupled with thiolated complementary strand DNA (cDNA), allowing it to recognize aptamers bound to the surface of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), thereby improving the sensitivity of the aptasensor. When monitoring the positive samples, OTA was captured by the aptamer fixed on the HRP-conjugated AuNP surface by specific recognition, after which the formed OTA-aptamer conjugates were detached from the electrode surface, ultimately decreasing the electrochemical signal monitored by differential pulse voltammetry. The novel aptasensor achieved a broad linear detection range from 5 to 105 ng L-1 with a low detection limit of 0.31 ng L-1. The proposed aptasensor was successfully applied for OTA analysis in red wine, with recovery rates ranging from 94.15 to 106%. Furthermore, the aptasensor also exhibited good specificity and storage stability. Therefore, the devised aptasensor represents a sensitive, practical and reliable tool for monitoring OTA in agricultural products, which can also be adapted to other mycotoxins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE The therapeutic interventions against lung cancer are currently based on a fully personalized approach to the disease with considerable improvement of patients' outcome. Alongside continuous scientific progresses and research investments, massive technologic efforts, innovative challenges, and consolidated achievements together with research investments are at the bases of the engineering and manufacturing revolution that allows a significant gain in clinical setting. AIM AND METHODS The scope of this review is thus to focus, rather than on the biologic traits, on the analysis of the precision sensors and novel generation materials, as semiconductors, which are below the clinical development of personalized diagnosis and treatment. In this perspective, a careful revision and analysis of the state of the art of the literature and experimental knowledge is presented. RESULTS Novel materials are being used in the development of personalized diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer. Among them, semiconductors are used to analyze volatile cancer compounds and allow early disease diagnosis. Moreover, they can be used to generate MEMS which have found an application in advanced imaging techniques as well as in drug delivery devices. CONCLUSIONS Overall, these issues represent critical issues only partially known and generally underestimated by the clinical community. These novel micro-technology-based biosensing devices, based on the use of molecules at atomic concentrations, are crucial for clinical innovation since they have allowed the recent significant advances in cancer biology deciphering as well as in disease detection and therapy. There is an urgent need to create a stronger dialogue between technologists, basic researchers, and clinicians to address all scientific and manufacturing efforts towards a real improvement in patients' outcome. Here, great attention is focused on their application against lung cancer, from their exploitations in translational research to their application in diagnosis and treatment development, to ensure early diagnosis and better clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The increasing incidence of diseases caused by highly carcinogenic aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in food demands a simple, fast, and cost-effective detection technique capable of sensitively monitoring AFM1. Recent works predominantly focus on the electrochemical aptamer-based biosensor, which still faces challenges and high costs in experimentally identifying an efficient candidate aptamer. However, the direct electrochemical detection of AFM1 has been scarcely reported thus far. In this study, we observed a significant influence on the electrochemical signals of ferric ions at a gold nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrode (AuNPs/GCE) by adding varying amounts of AFM1. Utilizing ferricyanide as a sensitive indicator of AFM1, we have introduced a novel approach for detecting AFM1, achieving an unprecedentedly low detection limit of 1.6 × 10-21 g/L. Through monitoring the fluorescence quenching of AFM1 with Fe3+ addition, the interaction between them has been identified at a ratio of 1:936. Transient fluorescence analysis reveals that the fluorescence quenching process is predominantly static. It is interesting that the application of iron chelator diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) cannot prevent the interaction between AFM1 and Fe3+. With a particle size distribution analysis, it is suggested that a combination of AFM1 and Fe3+ occurs and forms a polymer-like aggregate. Nonetheless, the mutual reaction mechanism between AFM1 and Fe3+ remains unexplained and urgently necessitates unveiling. Finally, the developed sensor is successfully applied for the AFM1 test in real samples, fully meeting the detection requirements for milk.

Abstract
Graphene Oxide-Zinc Oxide (GO-ZnO) - a new nanomaterial that has queued the interest of researchers. Their intriguing promising physical and electrochemical features of electrode material have led to its widespread use in electrochemical sensor applications. GO-ZnO based nanomaterial were extensively exploited in the construction of electrochemical sensors due to their adaptability and distinct qualities. On understanding the structural role of these materials, their modification processes are critical for realizing their full potential. The advancement of technology on new concepts and strategies has revolutionized the field of sensor devices with high sensitivities and selectivity. These tools can test a range of contaminants quickly, accurately, and affordably while performing automated chemical analysis in complicated matrices. This paper highlights the electrochemical transducer surface for sensing various analytes and current research activity on GO-ZnO nanocomposite. Additionally, we talked about current developments in GO-ZnO nanostructured composites to identify relevant analytes (i.e., Nitrophenols, Antibiotic Drugs, Biomolecules). While being used in the laboratory, the majority of produced systems have proven to bring about excellent gains. Their monitoring application still has a long way to go before it is fixed due to problems like technological advancements and multifunctional strategies to get around the challenges for improving the sensing systems.

Abstract
Pesticide and mycotoxin residues in food are concerning as they are harmful to human health. Traditional methods, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for such detection lack sensitivity and operation convenience. Efficient, accurate detection approaches are needed. With the recent development of nanotechnology, electrochemical biosensors based on nanomaterials have shown solid ability to detect trace pesticides and mycotoxins quickly and accurately. In this review, English articles about electrochemical biosensors in the past 11 years (2011-2022) were collected from PubMed database, and various nanomaterials are discussed, including noble metal nanomaterials, magnetic metal nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanotubes, as well as graphene and its derivatives. Three main roles of such nanomaterials in the detection process are summarized, including biomolecule immobilization, signal generation, and signal amplification. The detection targets involve two types of pesticides (organophosphorus and carbamate) and six types of mycotoxins (aflatoxin, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, fumonisin, ochratoxin A, and patulin). Although significant achievements have been made in the evolution of electrochemical nano-biosensors, many challenges remain to be overcome.

Abstract
Microorganisms are omnipresent and inseparable from our life. Many of them are beneficial to humans, while some are not. Importantly, foods and beverages are susceptible to microbial contamination, with their toxins causing illnesses and even death in some cases. Therefore, monitoring and detecting harmful microorganisms are critical to ensuring human health and safety. For several decades, many methods have been developed to detect and monitor microorganisms and their toxicants. Conventionally, nucleic acid analysis and antibody-based analysis were used to detect pathogens. Additionally, diverse chromatographic methods were employed to detect toxins based on their chemical and structural properties. However, conventional techniques have several disadvantages concerning analysis time, sensitivity, and expense. With the advances in biotechnology, new approaches to detect pathogens and toxins have been reported to compensate for the disadvantages of conventional analysis from different research fields, including electrochemistry, nanotechnology, and molecular biology. Among them, we focused on the recent studies of transcription factor (TF)-based biosensors to detect microorganisms and discuss their perspectives and applications. Additionally, the other biosensors for detecting microorganisms reported in recent studies were also introduced in this review.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide, and there is a critical need for diagnostic platforms for applications in early cancer detection. The diagnosis of cancer can be made by identifying abnormal cell characteristics such as functional changes, a number of vital proteins in the body, abnormal genetic mutations and structural changes, and so on. Identifying biomarker candidates such as DNA, RNA, mRNA, aptamers, metabolomic biomolecules, enzymes, and proteins is one of the most important challenges. In order to eliminate such challenges, emerging biomarkers can be identified by designing a suitable biosensor. One of the most powerful technologies in development is biosensor technology based on nanostructures. Recently, graphene and its derivatives have been used for diverse diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Graphene-based biosensors have exhibited significant performance with excellent sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and a wide detection range. In this review, the principle of technology, advances, and challenges in graphene-based biosensors such as field-effect transistors (FET), fluorescence sensors, SPR biosensors, and electrochemical biosensors to detect different cancer cells is systematically discussed. Additionally, we provide an outlook on the properties, applications, and challenges of graphene and its derivatives, such as Graphene Oxide (GO), Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO), and Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs), in early cancer detection by nanobiosensors.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a widely distributed mycotoxin that often contaminates food, grains and animal feed. It poses a serious threat to human health because of its high toxicity and persistence. Therefore, the development of an inexpensive, highly sensitive, accurate and rapid method for OTA detection is imperative. In recent years, various nanomaterials used in the establishment of aptasensors have attracted great attention due to their large surface-to-volume ratio, good stability and facile preparation. This review summarizes the development of nanomaterial-based aptasensors for OTA determination and sample treatment over the past 5 years. The nanomaterials used in OTA aptasensors include metal, carbon, luminescent, magnetic and other nanomaterials. Finally, the limitations and future challenges in the development of nanomaterial-based OTA aptasensors are reviewed and discussed.

[PMID: 34718022 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
This study evaluated the photocatalytic performance of the activated carbon assisted GO/Cu3(BTC)2/Fe3O4 photocatalyst for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) degradation under ultraviolet light. The nanocomposite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The numerous factors influencing the degradation efficiency of AFB1 including catalyst dose, pH importance, and contact time were also probed. The elevated degradation performance of AFB1 by 99% was due to a larger surface area and improved GO/Cu3(BTC)2/Fe3O4 photocatalyst. The degradation process followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic model. Moreover, it is possible to quickly isolate the catalyst from the solution and retain successful operation. In the degradation of AFB1, the hole(h+) and the hydroxyl radicals(OH) were found to play a significant role. These studies showed that GO/Cu3(BTC)2/Fe3O4 has high capturing capacity and photoactivity synergy, thereby offering a quick effect, and green solution to AFB1 degradation.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials have become the subject of intensive interest because their intriguing physical and chemical properties are different from those of their bulk counterparts, leading to novel applications in smart sensors. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites with different structures and toxic effects produced by fungi. Mycotoxins have low molecular weights and highly diverse molecular structures, which can induce a spectrum of biological effects in humans and animals even at low concentrations. A tremendous amount of biosensor platforms based on various carbon nanocomposites have been developed for the determination of mycotoxins. Therefore, the contents of this review are based on a balanced combination of our own studies and selected research studies performed by academic groups worldwide. We first address the vital preparation methods of biorecognition unit (antibodies, aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers)-functionalized carbon-based nanomaterials for sensing mycotoxins. Then, we summarize various types of smart sensors for the detection of mycotoxins. We expect future research on smart sensors to show a significant impact on the detection of mycotoxins in food products.

Abstract
For the first time a competitive immunoassay was developed by employing T-2 antibody-functionalized magnetite nanoparticles and T-2 toxin-conjugated fluorescent quantum dots (QDs). Free T-2 and the T-2-modified QDs compete for binding to antibody-modified magnetic beads; the magnetic beads collected by magnetic separation were subjected to fluorescence intensity analysis (with excitation/emission wavelengths at 460/616 nm). This competitive immunoassay for T-2 toxin determination was applied both in a microcentrifuge tube and on a 96-well plate. The dynamic range of the immunoassay is 1-100 ng mL-1, the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.1 ng mL-1, and determination was completed in about 40 min and 30 min in the microcentrifuge tube and 96-well plate, respectively. Moreover, the biolayer interferometry (BLI) technique was employed for T-2 determination for the first time, in which the conjugate of T-2 toxin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was immobilized on the sensors before detection. Its average recovery of T-2 toxin from barley sample ranged from 82.00 to 123.33%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was between 9.42 and 15.73%. The LOD of the BLI-based assay is 5 ng mL-1, and it only takes 10 min to finish the determination. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
This work represents the time-resolved fluorescence detection of Ochratoxin A (OTA), a highly toxic and commonly found toxin in food stuffs, by a terbium (Tb3+) chelated nanoparticle sensor with high sensitivity and remarkable selectivity. The coordination of OTA to Tb3+ center on nanoparticle surface resulted in the significant enhancement of the fluorescence signal in nanomolar concentrations with a detection limit of 20 ppb. In contrast, no enhancements were observed in the presence of other common mycotoxins such as Aflatoxin B1, Zearalenone, Citrinin and Patulin. The results indicate that the Tb3+ chelated nanoparticle sensor has great potential for applications in food analysis and safety.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a novel reduced graphene oxide/molybdenum disulfide/polyaniline@gold nanoparticles-based electrochemical aptasensor (termed as RGO/MoS2/PANI@AuNPs/Apt) for detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The RGO/MoS2/PANI nanocomposites were synthesized and characterized by multiple techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was then modified by the RGO/MoS2/PANI nanocomposites, coated with a chitosan (Cs) film, and followed by AuNPs attachment for immobilizing the AFB1 aptamers. In the presence of AFB1, the AFB1 binding-induced conformation change of the immobilized aptamer on the electrode surface results in the reduction of the electron transfer from a [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox couple in the solution to the GCE surface. Therefore, the aptamer-AFB1 binding event can be easily monitored by the peak current change of the RGO/MoS2/PANI@AuNPs/Apt through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurement. Under the optimized conditions, the as-developed RGO/MoS2/PANI@AuNPs/Apt exhibits a wide linear range from 0.01 fg mL-1 to 1.0 fg mL-1 and a remarkably low detection limit (3σ) of 0.002 fg mL-1. The aptasensor also has good reproducibility as well as shows high selectivity against other fungal toxins, such as OTA and FB1. Moreover, the practicability of the RGO/MoS2/PANI@AuNPs/Apt was demonstrated by the analysis of AFB1 in the spiked wine samples.

Abstract
The codelivery system for multiple antioxidants such as anthocyanins (Ant) and curcumin (Cur) of synergistic action may effectively enhance their stability and cellular absorption. We have reported that amphiphilic peptides obtained from enzymatic partial hydrolysis of α-lactalbumin (α-lac) can self-assemble into 20 nm monodispersed nanomicelles in aqueous solution. Cur and Ant could be coloaded into the micelles sequentially via hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, which was proved by fluorescence quenching experiments for the Cur-micelle and Ant-micelle interactions. Circular dichroism spectra proved that the Cur and Ant binding did not affect their structure confirmation. Both Cur- and Ant-loaded micelles showed improved stability and also exhibited an intestinal pH responsive release property in simulated gastrointestinal fluid. In addition, the nanomicelles exhibited an advanced cellular uptake and transmembrane permeability based on Caco-2 cell monolayer models. Finally, the coloaded micelles possessed a synergistic efficiency such that cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) for Cur and Ant was markedly improved.

Abstract
A sensitive and disposable amperometric immunosensor for Saccharomyces cerevisiae was constructed by using carbon screen-printed electrodes modified with propionic acid-functionalized graphene oxide as transduction element. The affinity-based biosensing interface was assembled by covalent immobilization of a specific polyclonal antibody on the carboxylate-enriched electrode surface via a water-soluble carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide coupling approach. A concanavalin A-peroxidase conjugate was further used as signaling element. The immunosensor allowed the amperometric detection of the yeast in buffer solution and white wine samples in the range of 10-107 CFU/mL. This electroanalytical device also exhibited low detection limit and high selectivity, reproducibility, and storage stability. The immunosensor was successfully validated in spiked white wine samples.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-embedded sensors have been developed and applied to monitor various targets. Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites that can exert carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, immunotoxic, and estrogenic effects on humans and animals. Consequently, the need for the proper regulation on foodstuff and feed materials has been recognized from times long past. This review provides an overview of recent developments in electrochemical sensors and biosensors employed for the detection of mycotoxins. Basic aspects of the toxicity of mycotoxins and the implications of their detection are comprehensively discussed. Furthermore, the development of different molecular recognition elements and nanomaterials required for the detection of mycotoxins (such as portable biosensing systems for point-of-care analysis) is described. The current capabilities, limitations, and future challenges in mycotoxin detection and analysis are also addressed.

Abstract
We have been developing quick and simple system for detecting food-poisoning bacteria using a combination of an asymmetric PCR and a portable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor. The system would be suitable for point-of-care detection of food-poisoning bacteria in the field of food industry. In this study, we established a novel method for quantifying the amplified forward (F) and reverse (R) chains of Staphylococcus aureus separately by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The concentration of single-stranded DNA amplicon excessively amplified, which is crucial for the system, could be calculated as the difference between those of the F- and R-chains. For the R-chain, a correction based on the F-chain concentration in the sample was used to obtain a more accurate value, because the determination of the R-chain concentration was affected by that of the coexisting F-chain. The concentration values were also determined by fluorescence imaging for electrophoresis gels of amplicons with FITC- or Cy5-conjugated primers, and they were in good agreement with the values by the HPLC. The measured concentration of the single-strand F-chain correlated well with the value of the SPR response against the probe that was a complementary sequence of the F-chain, immobilized on the sensor chip of the SPR sensor.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination of food and feed is now ubiquitous. Exposures to mycotoxin via contact or ingestion can potentially induce adverse health outcomes. Affordable mycotoxin-monitoring systems are highly desired but are limited by (a) the reliance on technically challenging and costly molecular recognition by immuno-capture technologies; and (b) the lack of predictive tools for directing the optimization of alternative molecular recognition modalities. Our group has been exploring the development of ochratoxin detection and monitoring systems using the peptide NFO4 as the molecular recognition receptor in fluorescence, electrochemical and multimodal biosensors. Using ochratoxin as the model mycotoxin, we share our perspective on addressing the technical challenges involved in biosensor fabrication, namely: (a) peptide receptor design; and (b) performance evaluation. Subsequently, the scope and utility of molecular modeling and simulation (MMS) approaches to address the above challenges are described. Informed and enabled by phage display, the subsequent application of MMS approaches can rationally guide subsequent biomolecular engineering of peptide receptors, including bioconjugation and bioimmobilization approaches to be used in the fabrication of peptide biosensors. MMS approaches thus have the potential to reduce biosensor development cost, extend product life cycle, and facilitate multi-analyte detection of mycotoxins, each of which positively contributes to the overall affordability of mycotoxin biosensor monitoring systems.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate analysis of food produce is essential to screen for species that may cause significant health risks like bacteria, pesticides and other toxins. Considerable developments in analytical techniques and instrumentation, for example chromatography, have enabled the analyses and quantitation of these contaminants. However, these traditional technologies are constrained by high cost, delayed analysis times, expensive and laborious sample preparation stages and the need for highly-trained personnel. Therefore, emerging, alternative technologies, for example biosensors may provide viable alternatives. Rapid advances in electrochemical biosensors have enabled significant gains in quantitative detection and screening and show incredible potential as a means of countering such limitations. Apart from demonstrating high specificity towards the analyte, these biosensors also address the challenge of the multifactorial food industry of providing high analytical accuracy amidst complex food matrices, while also overcoming differing densities, pH and temperatures. This (public and Industry) demand for faster, reliable and cost-efficient analysis of food samples, has driven investment into biosensor design. Here, we discuss some of the recent work in this area and critique the role and contributions biosensors play in the food industry. We also appraise the challenges we believe biosensors need to overcome to become the industry standard.

Visual electrochemiluminescence biosensing of aflatoxin M1 based on luminol-functionalized, silver nanoparticle-decorated graphene oxide. Biosens Bioelectron 2017; 100:382-388. [PMID: 28950248 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2017.09.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 94] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2017] [Revised: 08/11/2017] [Accepted: 09/18/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
A sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) detection by a closed bipolar electrode (BPE) array has been introduced. The thiolated AFM1 aptamer was immobilized on gold nanoparticle-coated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Apt-GMNPs). Luminol-functionalized silver nanoparticle-decorated graphene oxide (GO-L-AgNPs) participates in π-π interactions with the unpaired bases of the immobilized aptamer (Apt-GMNPs-GO-L-AgNPs). After the Apt-GMNPs-GO-L-AgNPs were introduced to a gold anodic BPE array, the individual electrodes were subjected to different concentrations of AFM1. Upon the interaction of AFM1 with the aptamers, the GO-L-AgNPs detach from the aptamer; the resulting ECL of luminol and H2O2 at the anodic poles is monitored using a photomultiplier tube (PMT) or smartphone, and the images are analyzed using ImageJ software. This process triggers thionine reduction at the cathodic poles. Under the optimal conditions obtained by a face-centered central composite design (FCCD), the PMT-based detection of the BPE-ECL aptasensor exhibit a linear response over a wide dynamic range from 5 to 150ngmL-1, with a detection limit of 0.01ngmL-1. Additionally, smartphone-based detection shows a linear relationship between the ECL image gray value and the logarithmic concentration of the AFM1 target over a range of 10-200ngmL-1, with a detection limit of 0.05ngmL-1. Furthermore, the BPE-ECL aptasensor was successfully used to detect AFM1 in milk complex media without any serious interferences with reliable reproducibility (average relative standard deviation (RSD = 2.3%)). This smartphone-based detection opens a new horizon for bioanalysis that does not require a trained technician to operate and is a promising technology for point-of-care testing.

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

Abstract
The problems associated with different groups or ‘families’ of mycotoxins have been known for some time, and for many years certain groups of mycotoxins have been known to co-occur in commodities and foods. Until fairly recently commodities and foods were analysed for individual toxins or groups of related toxins and attempts to measure multiple groups of toxins required significant investments in terms of time, effort, and expense. Analytical technologies using both the instrument-intensive techniques, such as mass spectrometry, and screening techniques, such as immunoassays, have progressed significantly in recent years. This has led to the proliferation of techniques capable of detecting multiple groups of mycotoxins using a variety of approaches. Despite considerable progress, the challenges for routine monitoring of multiple toxins continue. Certain of these challenges, such as the need for co-extraction of multiple analytes with widely different polarities and the potential for carry-over of matrix components that can influence the results, are independent of the analytical technique (MS or immunoassay) used. Because of the wide variety of analytical platforms used for multi-toxin analysis, there are also specific challenges that arise amongst the analytical platforms. We showed that chromatographic methods with optical detection for aflatoxins maintain stable response factors over rather long periods. This offers the potential to reduce the analytical burden, provided the use of a single signal receives general acceptance once shown in practise as working approach. This must however be verified by a larger community of laboratories. For immunosensors the arising challenges include the reusability of sensors and, for chromatography-based assays they include the selection of appropriate calibration systems. In this article we seek to further describe the challenges associated with multi-toxin analysis and articulate how such challenges have recently been addressed.

Abstract
The use of nanotechnology in bioanalytical devices has special advantages in the detection of toxins of interest in food safety and environmental applications. The low levels to be detected and the small size of toxins justify the increasing number of publications dealing with electrochemical biosensors, due to their high sensitivity and design versatility. The incorporation of nanomaterials in their development has been exploited to further increase their sensitivity, providing simple and fast devices, with multiplexed capabilities. This paper gives an overview of the electrochemical biosensors that have incorporated carbon and metal nanomaterials in their configurations for the detection of toxins. Biosensing systems based on magnetic beads or integrated into microfluidics systems have also been considered because of their contribution to the development of compact analytical devices. The roles of these materials, the methods used for their incorporation in the biosensor configurations as well as the advantages they provide to the analyses are summarised.

Abstract
Plant-based foods are integral part of our day-to-day diet. Increasing world population has put forth an ever increasing demand for plant-based foods, and food security remains a major concern. Similarly, biological, chemical, and physical threats to our food and increasing regulatory demands to control the presence of foreign species in food products have made food safety a growing issue. Nanotechnology has already established its roots in diverse disciplines. However, the food industry is yet to harness the full potential of the unique capabilities offered by this next-generation technology. While there might be safety concerns in regards to integration of nanoproducts with our food products, an aspect of nanotechnology that can make remarkable contribution to different elements of the food chain is the use of nanobiosensors and diagnostic platforms for monitoring food traceability, quality, safety, and nutritional value. This brings us to an important question that whether existing diagnostic platforms that have already been well developed for biomedical and clinical application are suitable for food industry or whether the demands of the food industry are altogether different that may not allow adoption/adaptation of the existing technology. This review is an effort to raise this important "uncomfortable" yet "timely" question.

Abstract
In this study, a novel electrochemical rat basophilic leukemia cell (RBL-2H3) cell sensor, based on fluorescent magnetic beads, has been developed for the detection and evaluation of different allergens in foodstuffs. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was successfully fused inside the SiO2 layer of SiO2 shell-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles, which was superior to the traditional Fe3O4@SiO2@FITC modification process. The as-synthesized fluorescent magnetic beads were then encapsulated with lipidosome to form cationic magnetic fluorescent nanoparticles (CMFNPs) for mast cell magnetofection. The CMFNPs were then characterized by SEM, TEM, VSM, FTIR, and XRD analyses, and transfected into RBL-2H3 cells through a highly efficient, lipid-mediated magnetofection procedure. Magnetic glassy carbon electrode (MGCE), which possesses excellent reproducibility and regeneration qualities, was then employed to adsorb the CMFNP-transfected RBL-2H3 cells activated by an allergen antigen for electrochemical assay. Results show that the exposure of model antigen-dinitrophenol-bovine serum albumin (DNP-BSA) to anti-DNP IgE-sensitized mast cells induced a robust and long-lasting electrochemical impedance signal in a dose-dependent manner. The detection limit was identified at 3.3×10(-4) ng/mL. To demonstrate the utility of this mast cell-based biosensor for detection of real allergens in foodstuffs, Anti-Pen a1 IgE and Anti-PV IgE-activated cells were employed to quantify both shrimp allergen tropomyosin (Pen a 1) and fish allergen parvalbumin (PV). Results show high detection accuracy for these targets, with a limit of 0.03 μg/mL (shrimp Pen a 1) and 0.16 ng/mL (fish PV), respectively. To this effect, we conclude the proposed method is a facile, highly sensitive, innovative electrochemical method for the evaluation of food allergens.
