Abstract
Fe-Co@CNF was synthesized by electrospinning technology, and AuNPs was loaded onto Fe-Co@CNF by in-situ reduction to obtain Fe-Co@CNF@AuNPs composite material, which was used as the working electrode based on Au-S bond cooperation. The tetracycline electrochemical sensing interface Fe-Co@CNF@AuNPs@Apt was constructed by connecting mercaptoylated tetracycline (TC) aptamers on Fe-Co@CNF@AuNPs surface. The morphology and composition of Fe-Co@CNF@AuNPs composites were characterized by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD and XPS, and the electrochemical properties of tetracycline were evaluated by CV and DPV. The results showed that the addition of Fe and Co did not destroy the structure of the original carbon nanofibers, and their synergistic effect enhanced the electrocatalytic performance, effective electrode area and electron transfer ability of carbon nanofibers. AuNPs are evenly distributed over the fibers, which effectively improves the electrical conductivity of the material. Under the optimal conditions, the theoretical detection limit of tetracycline was 0.213 nM, and the linear detection range was 5.12-10 mM, which could successfully detect tetracycline in milk.

Abstract
Immunosensors are promising alternatives as detection platforms for the current gold standards methods. Electrochemical immunosensors have already proven their capability for the sensitive, selective, detection of target biomarkers specific to COVID-19, varying cancers or Alzheimer's disease, etc. Among the electrochemical techniques, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a highly sensitive technique which examines the impedance of an electrochemical cell over a range of frequencies. There are several important critical requirements for the construction of successful impedimetric immunosensor. The applied surface chemistry and immobilisation protocol have impact on the electroanalytical performance of the developed immunosensors. In this Review, we summarise the building blocks of immunosensors based on EIS, including self-assembly monolayers, nanomaterials, polymers, immobilisation protocols and antibody orientation.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC), which is ubiquitous in the aquatic environment, can cause ecological imbalance and adversely affect human health. Therefore, a quick, inexpensive, and easy method for the detection of TC in water systems is highly desirable. This study reports the development of a novel electrochemical sensor from waste peanut shell for the quick detection of TC in water. Raman and TEM lattice mapping analyses confirmed the successful preparation of graphene -like biochar from waste peanut shells (PSs) via hydrothermal and pyrolysis processes. An electrochemical sensor, PS@glassy carbon electrode (PS@GCE), was then developed by coating the prepared graphene-like biochar on the surface of a glass electrode to enhance its conductivity. The feasibility of using this sensor for the detection of TC in the aqueous system was investigated. The PS@GCE sensor exhibited excellent sensitivity with a low detection limit of 3.6 × 10--9 nM and a linear range of 10-10-102 μM. These results were attributed to the large specific surface area and high conductivity, of the PS biochar. The stability of the PS@GCE sensor was also investigated in the presence of TC (10-4 M) and interfering species (10-2 M) and recovery rates in the range of 86.4%-116.0% were achieved, thus indicating the absence of an interference range of range of 84.3%-98.2% with relative standard deviation lower than 6% were achieved upon the detection of TC in natural water samples using the designed sensor, thus confirming the superior repeatability of the PS@GCE sensor. Consequently, the designed electrode has a high potential for application in the detection of TC in natural aqueous systems.

Abstract
Antibiotics have emerged as ground-breaking medications for the treatment of infectious diseases, but due to the excessive use of antibiotics, some drugs have developed resistance to microorganisms. Because of their structural complexity, most antibiotics are excreted unchanged, polluting the water, soil, and natural resources. Additionally, food items are being polluted through the widespread use of antibiotics in animal feed. The normal concentrations of antibiotics in environmental samples typically vary from ng to g/L. Antibiotic residues in excess of these values can pose major risks the development of illnesses and infections/diseases. According to estimates, 300 million people will die prematurely in the next three decades (by 2050), and the WHO has proclaimed "antibiotic resistance" to be a severe economic and sociological hazard to public health. Several antibiotics have been recognised as possible environmental pollutants (EMA) and their detection in various matrices such as food, milk, and environmental samples is being investigated. Currently, chromatographic techniques coupled with different detectors (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS) are typically used for antibiotic analysis. Other screening methods include optical methods, ELISA, electrophoresis, biosensors, etc. To minimise the problems associated with antibiotics (i.e., the development of AMR) and the currently available analytical methods, electrochemical platforms have been investigated, and can provide a cost-effective, rapid and portable alternative. Despite the significant progress in this field, further developments are necessary to advance electrochemical sensors, e.g., through the use of multi-functional nanomaterials and advanced (bio)materials to ensure efficient detection, sensitivity, portability, and reliability. This review summarises the use of electrochemical biosensors for the detection of antibiotics in milk/milk products and presents a brief introduction to antibiotics and AMR followed by developments in the field of electrochemical biosensors based on (i) immunosensor, (ii) aptamer (iii) MIP, (iv) enzyme, (v) whole-cell and (vi) direct electrochemical approaches. The role of nanomaterials and sensor fabrication is discussed wherever necessary. Finally, the review discusses the challenges encountered and future perspectives. This review can serve as an insightful source of information, enhancing the awareness of the role of electrochemical biosensors in providing information for the preservation of the health of the public, of animals, and of our environment, globally.

Abstract
Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum class of antibiotics. The use of excessive doses of tetracycline antibiotics can result in their residues in food, posing varying degrees of risk to human health. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid and sensitive field detection method for tetracycline residues is of great practical importance to improve the safety of food-derived animal foods. Electrochemical analysis techniques are widely used in the field of pollutant detection because of the simple detection principle, easy operation of the instrument, and low cost of analysis. In this review, we summarize the electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics by bibliometrics. Unlike the previously published reviews, this article reviews and analyzes the development of this topic. The contributions of different countries and different institutions were analyzed. Keyword analysis was used to explain the development of different research directions. The results of the analysis revealed that developments and innovations in materials science can enhance the performance of electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics. Among them, gold nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes are the most used nanomaterials. Aptamer sensing strategies are the most favored methodologies in electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics.

Abstract
As an antibody-free sensing membrane for the detection of the antibiotic tetracycline (TC), a liquid PVC membrane doped with the ion-pair tetracycline/θ-shaped anion [3,3'-Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2]- ([o-COSAN]-) was formulated and deposited on a SWCNT modified gold microelectrode. The chosen transduction technique was electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The PVC membrane was composed of: the tetracycline/[o-COSAN]- ion-pair, a plasticizer. A detection limit of 0.3 pg/L was obtained with this membrane, using bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate as a plasticizer. The sensitivity of detection of tetracycline was five times higher than that of oxytetracycline and of terramycin, and 22 times higher than that of demeclocycline. A shelf-life of the prepared sensor was more than six months and was used for detection in spiked honey samples. These results open the way to having continuous monitoring sensors with a high detection capacity, are easy to clean, avoid the use of antibodies, and produce a direct measurement.

Abstract
Exploring effective sensors for detecting possible hazards in a water system are greatly significant. This work proposed a strategy for stable and effective bifunctional sensors via incorporating hourglass-type phosphomolybdates into metal-organic fragments to construct a high-dimensional framework. Two hourglass-type phosphomolybdate-based electrochemical sensors toward heavy metal ion Cr(VI) and tetracycline (TC) detection were designed with the formula [CoII2(H2O)4NaI2][CoII(Hbpe)][NaI(bpe)1.5]{CoII[PV4MoV6O31H6]2}·9H2O (1) and [CoII(H2O)4NaI3][CoII(Hbpe)][CoII(bpe)]{CoII[PV4MoV6O31H6]2}·9H2O (2) [bpe = 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene]. Structural analysis showed that hybrids 1 and 2 possess three-dimensional POM-supported network features with favorable stability and exhibit reversible redox properties. Experiments found that this kind of hybrids as efficient sensors have excellent electrochemical performance toward Cr(VI) detection with high sensitivities of 0.111 μA·μM-1 for 1 and 0.141 μA·μM-1 for 2, fast response time of 1 s, and low detection limits of 30 nM for 1 and 27 nM for 2, which far meet the standard of WHO for drinking water. Moreover, hybrids 1-2 also exhibit fast responses to TC detection with sensitivities of 0.0073 and 0.022 μA·mM-1 and detection limits of 0.426 and 0.084 mM. This work offers a novel strategy for the purposeful design of efficient POM-based electrochemical sensors for accurate determination of contaminants in a practical water system.

Abstract
Accurate and low-cost onsite assay of residual antibiotics in food and agriculture-related matrixes (e.g., milk) is of significant importance for evaluating and controlling food pollution risk. Herein, we employed hybrid Cu-doped-g-C3N4 nanozyme to engineer smartphone-assisted onsite visual sensor for reliable and precise reporting the levels of tetracycline (TC) residues in milk through π-π stacking-triggered blocking effect. Benefiting from the synergetic effects of Cu2+ and g-C3N4 nanosheet, Cu-doped-g-C3N4 nanocomposite exhibited an improved peroxidase-like activity, which could effectively catalyze H2O2 to oxidate colorless TMB into steel-blue product oxTMB. Interestingly, owing to the blocking effect caused by the π-π stacking interaction between TC tetraphenyl skeleton and Cu-doped-g-C3N4 nanozyme, the affinity of Cu-doped-g-C3N4 nanocomposite toward the catalytic substrates was remarkably blocked, resulting in a TC concentration-dependent fading of solution color. Using smartphone-assisted detection a simple, low-cost, reliable, and sensitive portable colorimetric sensor-based nanozyme for onsite visual monitoring the residual TC in milk was successfully developed with a detection limit of 86.27 nM. Of particular mention is that this detection limit is comparable to most other reported colorimetric methods and below most official allowable residue thresholds in milk matrixes. This work gave a novel insight to integrate two-dimensional (2D) artificial nanozymes-based π-π stacking-triggered blocking effect with smartphone-assisted detection for developing efficient and low-cost colorimetric point-of-care testing of the risk factors in food and agriculture-related matrixes.

Abstract
Water quality and safety are vital to the ecological environment, social development, and ecological susceptibility. The extensive use and continuous discharge of antibiotics have caused serious water pollution; antibiotics are widely found in freshwater, drinking water, and reservoirs; and this pollution has become a common phenomenon and challenge in global water ecosystems, as water polluted by antibiotics poses serious risks to human health and the ecological environment. Therefore, the antibiotic content in water should be identified, monitored, and eliminated. Nevertheless, there is no single method that can detect all different types of antibiotics, so various techniques are often combined to produce reliable results. This review summarizes the sources of antibiotic pollution in water, covering three main aspects: (1) wastewater discharges from domestic sewage, (2) medical wastewater, and (3) animal physiology and aquaculture. The existing analytical techniques, including extraction techniques, conventional detection methods, and biosensors, are reviewed. The electrochemical biosensors have become a research hotspot in recent years because of their rapid detection, high efficiency, and portability, and the use of nanoparticles contributes to these outstanding qualities. Additionally, the comprehensive quality evaluation of various detection methods, including the linear detection range, detection limit (LOD), and recovery rate, is discussed, and the future of this research field is also prospected.

Abstract
Herein, a complete study of the electrochemical behavior of the most commonly used tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) on unmodified carbon screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) is presented. In addition, the oxidation pathway of TCs on SPE is elucidated, for the first time, with liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS). Square wave voltammetry (SWV) was used to study the electrochemical fingerprint (EF) of the antibiotics shaping the different oxidation processes of the TCs in a pH range from 2 to 12. Their characteristic structure and subsequent EF offer the possibility of distinguishing this class of antibiotics from other types. Under the optimized parameters, calibration curves of tetracycline (TET), doxycycline (DOXY), oxytetracycline (OXY), and chlortetracycline (CHL) in a Britton Robinson buffer solution (pH 9) exhibited a linear range between 5 and 100 µM with excellent reproducibilities (RSDTET = 3.01%, RSDDOXY = 3.29%, RSDOXY = 9.78% and RSDCHL = 6.88% at 10 µM, N = 3) and limits of detection (LOD) of LODTET = 4.15 µM, LODDOXY = 2.14 µM, LODOXY = 3.07 µM and LODCHL = 4.15 µM. Furthermore, binary, tertiary, and complex mixtures of all TCs were analyzed with SWV to investigate the corresponding EF. A dual pH screening (pH 4 and pH 9), together with the use of a custom-made Matlab script for data treatment, allowed for the successful confirmation of a single presence of TCs in the unknown samples. Overall, this work presents a straightforward study of the electrochemical behavior of TCs in SPE, allowing for the future on-site identification of residues of tetracycline antibiotics in real samples.

Abstract
Antimicrobial drug residues in food are strictly controlled and monitored by national laws in most territories. Tetracyclines are a major broad-spectrum antibiotic class, active against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and they are the leading choice for the treatment of many conditions in veterinary medicine in recent years. In dairy farms, milk from cows being treated with antibiotic drugs, such as tetracyclines, is considered unfit for human consumption. Contamination of the farm bulk tank with milk containing these residues presents a threat to confidence of supply and results in financial losses to farmers and dairy. Real-time monitoring of milk production for antimicrobial residues could reduce this risk and help to minimise the release of residues into the environment where they can cause reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance. In this article, we review the existing literature for the detection of tetracyclines in cow's milk. Firstly, the complex nature of the milk matrix is described, and the test strategies in commercial use are outlined. Following this, emerging biosensors in the low-cost biosensors field are contrasted against each other, focusing upon electrochemical biosensors. Existing commercial tests that identify antimicrobial residues within milk are largely limited to beta-lactam detection, or non-specific detection of microbial inhibition, with tests specific to tetracycline residues less prevalent. Herein, we review a number of emerging electrochemical biosensor detection strategies for tetracyclines, which have the potential to close this gap and address the industry challenges associated with existing tests.

Abstract
Antibiotic and multi-drug resistant (MDR) Salmonella poses a significant threat to public health due to its ability to colonize animals (cold and warm-blooded) and contaminate freshwater supplies. Monitoring antibiotic resistant Salmonella is traditionally costly, involving the application of phenotypic and genotypic tests over several days. However, with the introduction of cheaper semi-automated devices in the last decade, strain detection and identification times have significantly fallen. This, in turn, has led to efficiently regulated food production systems and further reductions in food safety hazards. This review highlights current and emerging technologies used in the detection of antibiotic resistant and MDR Salmonella.

Abstract
Antibiotics can accumulate through food metabolism in the human body which may have a significant effect on human safety and health. It is therefore highly beneficial to establish easy and sensitive approaches for rapid assessment of antibiotic amounts. In the development of next-generation biosensors, nanomaterials (NMs) with outstanding thermal, mechanical, optical, and electrical properties have been identified as one of the most hopeful materials for opening new gates. This study discusses the latest developments in the identification of antibiotics by nanomaterial-constructed biosensors. The construction of biosensors for electrochemical signal-transducing mechanisms has been utilized in various types of nanomaterials, including quantum dots (QDs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), metal nanomaterials, and carbon nanomaterials. To provide an outline for future study directions, the existing problems and future opportunities in this area are also included. The current review, therefore, summarizes an in-depth assessment of the nanostructured electrochemical sensing method for residues of antibiotics in different systems.

Abstract
The surging growth of the pharmaceutical industry is a result of the rapidly increasing human population, which has inevitably led to new biomedical and environmental issues. Aside from the quality control of pharmaceutical production and drug delivery, there is an urgent need for precise, sensitive, portable, and cost-effective technologies to track patient overdosing and to monitor ambient water sources and wastewater for pharmaceutical pollutants. The development of advanced nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors for the detection of pharmaceutical compounds has garnered immense attention due to their advantages, such as high sensitivity and selectivity, real-time monitoring, and ease of use. This review article surveys state-of-the-art nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors for the detection and quantification of six classes of significant pharmaceutical compounds, including anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-cancer drugs. Important factors such as sensor/analyte interactions, design rationale, fabrication, characterization, sensitivity, and selectivity are discussed. Strategies for the development of high-performance electrochemical sensors and biosensors tailored toward specific pharmaceuticals are highlighted to provide readers and scientists with an extensive toolbox for the detection of a wide range of pharmaceuticals. Our aims are two-fold: (i) to inspire readers by further elucidating the properties and functionalities of existing nanomaterials for the detection of pharmaceuticals; and (ii) to provide examples of the potential opportunities that these devices have for the advanced sensing of pharmaceutical compounds toward safeguarding human health and ecosystems on a global scale.

Abstract
Abstract
Biosensors can find application in meat and meat products testing for safety, including microbial and other contaminants, and quality, including meat freshness, beef tenderness and pork quality defects. The available biosensors enable the evaluation of freshness, the classification of tenderness of meat products, the evaluation of the glycolysis extent and the presence of the microbial and other contaminants. Since biosensors depend on receptor types, the expansion of knowledge on metabolic transformations occurring in meat contributes to the development of new potential markers and indicators. Examples include assays for glucose, lactates, hypoxanthines, calpastastins, microbial and other contaminants in meat products, augmenting conventional methods. At the same time, biosensors rely on transducers for detection, requiring achievement in many fields including nanotechnology and optics, among others. Biosensors have potential to become a fundamental tool for monitoring and controlling safety and quality of meat products in the future. Hence the aim of the present paper is to present the current state of knowledge on the application of biosensors in meat.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has become a topic of interest due to the outstanding advantages that the use of nanomaterials offers in many fields. Among them, magnetic nanoparticles (m-NPs) have been one of the most widely applied in recent years. In addition to the unique features of nanomaterials in general, which exclusively appear at nanoscale, these present magnetic or paramagnetic properties that result of great interest in many applications. In particular, in the area of food analysis, the use of these nanomaterials has undergone a considerable increase since they can be easily separated from the matrix in sorbent-based extractions, providing a considerable simplification of the procedures. This allows reducing cost and giving fast responses, which is essential in the food trade to guarantee consumer safety. These materials can also be easily tunable, providing higher selectivity. Moreover, their particular electrical, thermal and optical characteristics allow enhancing sensor signals, increasing the sensitivity of the approaches based on this type of device. The aim of this review article is to summarise the most remarkable applications of m-NPs in food analysis in the last five years (2016–2020) showing a general view of the use of such materials in the field.

Abstract
Tetracycline residue in honey has become an increasingly important food safety problem. In this work, an ultrasensitive gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-linked aptamer assay was developed to determine the tetracycline residue in honey. First, a tetracycline–bovine serum albumin conjugate coating was applied to a microplate. Then, with the incubation of AuNPs-linked aptamer, the fixed tetracycline in the microplate competed for the limited aptamer with the free tetracycline in the sample. Higher amounts of free tetracycline in the sample were associated with more competitive binding of aptamer-AuNPs, and the aptamer-AuNPs binding with tetracycline-BSA was lower. Finally, as a kind of nanozyme, AuNPs exhibited peroxidase activity and oxidized 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine, transforming it from colorless to blue, and achieving the measurement at 652 nm. The analytical performance—including linearity, limit of detection, selectivity, precision, repeatability, and accuracy—has been investigated. It was successfully applied to the determination of tetracycline in honey samples with high accuracy and sensitivity.

Abstract
Different from fluorescent dyes-doped or carbon materials-based ratiometric tetracycline nanoprobes, herein, a new Ir(III) complex-doped and europium(III) ion (Eu3+)-functionalized silicon nanoparticles (Ir(III)@SiNPs-Eu3+) with long luminescent lifetimes was firstly fabricated for selective detection of tetracycline (TC) in complex systems through time-resolved emission spectra (TRES) measurement. In the presence of TC, the red phosphorescence of Eu3+ is greatly enhanced by adsorption energy transfer emission (AETE) of TC, while the strong green luminescence of Ir(III)@SiNPs is quenched by the inner filtration effect (IFE) of TC. Based on these striking emission changes, Ir(III)@SiNPs-Eu3+ can sensitively detect TC in the linear range of 0.01-20 μM with a detection limit of 4.9 × 10-3 μM. Benefitting from the long lifetime of Ir(III)@SiNPs-Eu3+, the nanoprobe demonstrates excellent TC detection performance through TRES in high background system of 5 % human serum. Furthermore, the formed Ir(III)@SiNPs-Eu3+/TC complex can be used to sensitively recognize Hg2+ via a ratiometric luminescence mode. Notably, the cytotoxicity of Ir(III)@SiNPs-Eu3+ is very low and thus the sensitive monitoring the detection of Ir(III)@SiNPs-Eu3+ to TC and Hg2+ also works well in porcine renal cells, demonstrating high application potential in real samples.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) is widely used to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals due to its low price and good antibacterial properties. The abuse of tetracycline has led to TC residues in daily food that could seriously affect human health. Thus, it is imperative to develop highly sensitive and selective methods for TC detection. In this work, we developed a colorimetric method for TC detection based on an enzyme-linked aptamer assay (ELAA) with multivalent HRP-mimicking DNAzyme. An aptamer was used as an alternative recognition element in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Multivalent HRP-mimicking DNAzyme, assembled via hybridization chain reactions (HCR), was used for catalytic substrate color rendering in ELAA. The multivalent HRP-mimicking DNAzyme exhibited enhanced catalytic capacity and improved the detection sensitivity greatly. The limit of detection was 8.1 × 10-2 ng mL-1 with a linear range from 1.0 × 10-2 ng mL-1 to 1.0 × 104 ng mL-1 toward TC in buffer. To challenge the practical application capability of this strategy, the detection of TC in milk samples was also investigated and showed similar linear relationships. Due to the introduction of an aptamer, this ELAA strategy shows high selectivity towards TC and has potential for the detection of a wide spectrum of analytes.

Abstract
Antibiotics are an important class of drugs destined for treatment of bacterial diseases. Misuses and overuses of antibiotics observed over the last decade have led to global problems of bacterial resistance against antibiotics (ABR). One of the crucial actions taken towards limiting the spread of antibiotics and controlling this dangerous phenomenon is the sensitive and accurate determination of antibiotics residues in body fluids, food products, and animals, as well as monitoring their presence in the environment. Immunosensors, a group of biosensors, can be considered an attractive tool because of their simplicity, rapid action, low-cost analysis, and especially, the unique selectivity arising from harnessing the antigen-antibody interaction that is the basis of immunosensor functioning. Herein, we present the recent achievements in the field of electrochemical immunosensors designed to determination of antibiotics.

Bioelectrochemistry 2019; 128:66-73. [PMID: 30928867 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2019.02.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2018] [Revised: 02/16/2019] [Accepted: 02/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Different carbon-based nanostructures were used to investigate direct electron transfer (DET) of TetX2 monooxygenase (TetX2), and an enzyme-based biosensor for sensitive determination of tetracycline (TC) also fabricated. A polyethyleneimine (PEI) with positive charge groups was used for immobilization of TetX2 on modified glassy carbon electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was employed to study the electrochemical characteristics of the immobilized enzyme and the performance of the proposed biosensor. Amongst multiple carbon-modified electrodes, nano-porous glassy carbon electrode (NPGCE) was selected because of its amplified signal response for flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and superior electrocatalytic behavior toward oxygen reduction. The cyclic voltammogram of PEI/TetX2/NPGCE showed two couple of well-defined and quasi-reversible redox peaks of FAD, consistent with the realization of DET. The prepared electrode was then successfully introduced as a biosensing interface based on the oxygen reduction peak current, resulting in a linear range response from 0.5 to 5 μM with a good detection limit of 18 nM. The as-fabricated electrode demonstrates a fast response and excellent stability for the detection of TC. The results indicate that this simple, rapid, eco-friendly and economic strategy of PEI/TetX2/NPGCE preparation has potential for the fabrication of an enzyme-based biosensor for the practical detection of TC in food products.

Abstract
A novel platform for carbamate-based pesticide quantification using a chitosan/magnetic iron oxide (Chit-Fe3O4) nanocomposite as a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modifier is shown for an analytical methodology for determination of bendiocarb (BND). The BND oxidation signal using GCE/Chit-Fe3O4 compared with bare GCE was catalyzed, showing a 37.5% of current increase with the peak potential towards less positive values, showing method's increased sensitivity and selectivity. Using square-wave voltammetry (SWV), calibration curves for BND determination were obtained (n = 3), and calculated detection and quantification limits values were 2.09 × 10-6 mol L-1 (466.99 ppb) and 6.97 × 10-6 mol L-1 (1555.91 ppb), respectively. The proposed electroanalytical methodology was successfully applied for BND quantification in natural raw waters without any sample pretreatment, proving that the GCE/Chit-Fe3O4 modified electrode showed great potential for BND determination in complex samples. ᅟ Graphical abstract.

Abstract
A fluorometric immunochromatographic assay (FICA) is described where ZnCdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) act as fluorescent label and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) act as quencher. The assay works in the "turn-on" mode, i.e. the fluorescent signal (best measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 302/525 nm) increases with the increase of analyte concentration. This assay can detect tetracycline antibiotics including tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, and doxycycline. It is not interfered by other veterinary drugs. The visual limits of detection (LODs) for the tetracycline antibiotics are 2 μg·L-1 in buffer, 20 μg·L-1 in milk, and 40 μg·kg-1 in animal muscle tissue. The assay (including sample treatment) can be performed within 30 min. The FICA based on "turn on" mode is more sensitive than the colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic assay (CGICA) and quantum dot-based immunochromatographic assay (QDICA) based on "turn off" mode using either AuNPs or QDs as signal labels. One strip can simultaneously provide the fluorescent test results in the "turn on" mode on the basis of QD luminescence quenching under UV light. The colorimetric test is of the "turn off" mode based on the formation of a red coloration due to the use of AuNPs under natural light. The use of such a dual-functional test mode allows for rapid semi-quantitative determination of tetracycline antibiotics in milk and tissue samples. Graphical abstract Schematoc of a fluorometric immunochromatographic assay (FICA) based on fluorescence quenching of quantum dot (QD) by gold nanoparticle (AuNP) combined with a dual-functional test mode under UV light (turn on mode) and natural light (turn off mode) to visually detect tetracycline antibiotics.

Abstract
A novel aptasensor based on a tetracycline (TET) aptamer immobilized by physical adsorption on an ordered mesoporous carbon–Fe3O4 (OMC-Fe3O4)-modified screen-printed electrode surface was successfully fabricated. OMC-Fe3O4 was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The modification procedure of the aptasensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. Interaction between the TET aptamer and target was determined by differential pulse voltammetry. Under optimal conditions, the proposed aptasensor exhibited good electrochemical sensitivity to TET in a concentration range of 5 nM to 10 μM, with a detection limit of 0.8 nM (S/N = 3). This aptasensor exhibited satisfactory specificity, reproducibility, and stability.

Abstract
Portable analytical devices are notably gaining relevance in the panorama of urgent testing. Such devices have the potential to play an important role as easy-to-handle tools in critical situations. Epidemic infectious disease agents (e.g., Ebola virus, Coronavirus, Zika virus) could be controlled more easily by testing travelers on-site at the country borders to prevent outbreaks from spreading. The increasing incidence of hospital-acquired infections caused by antibiotic resistant pathogens could be minimized by point-of-care microbial analysis as well as rapid screening tests of bacteria resistance. The threat of bioterrorism using novel unknown bioweapons has never been so high, thus, in-the-field early identification of the biological agent is crucial for triggering a coordinated response. Food allergies are a growing public health concern-allergic reactions can result in anaphylactic shock, which can prove fatal in minutes-thus, the ability to test foods for common allergens, rapidly and locally, before ingestion, would improve food safety for those with allergies. Lab-on-chip devices are becoming widely available for diverse applications and are becoming increasingly affordable. However, to shrink in price and size simultaneously, some trade-offs must be made. In this Perspective, we present considerations about product specifications, design concepts, and application scenarios.

Abstract
Widespread use of antibiotics has led to pollution of waterways, potentially creating resistance among freshwater bacterial communities. Microorganisms resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics (superbug) have dramatically increased over the last decades. The presence of antibiotics in waters, in food and beverages in both their un-metabolized and metabolized forms are of interest for humans. This is due to daily exposure in small quantities, that, when accumulated, could lead to development of drug resistance to antibiotics, or multiply the risk of allergic reaction. Conventional analytical methods used to quantify antibiotics are relatively expensive and generally require long analysis time associated with the difficulties to perform field analyses. In this context, electrochemical and optical based sensing devices are of interest, offering great potentials for a broad range of analytical applications. This review will focus on the application of magnetic nanoparticles in the design of different analytical methods, mainly sensors, used for the detection of antibiotics in different matrices (human fluids, the environmental, food and beverages samples).
