Food Chem 2024; 451:139446. [PMID: 38685180 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139446] [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: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
We reported the development of a smartphone-integrated microfluidic paper-based optosensing platform for in-situ detection and quantification of histamine in canned tuna. Molecularly imprinted polymers were synthesized via precipitation polymerization and utilized as dispersive solid phase extraction sorbent to selectively extract histamine from canned tuna. Carbon quantum dots functioning as a fluorescent probe were synthesized and introduced onto the microzones of the microfluidic paper device. This facilitated a noticeable fluorescence color change from dark red to vivid blue upon the addition of histamine. The change in fluorescence on the paper device was converted into specific RGB values using a portable UV light box combined with a smartphone. This assay achieved the limit of detection of 14.04 mg/kg with the linear range from 20 to 100 mg/kg of histamine in canned tuna. The entire molecular imprinting-microfluidic optosensing test could be completed in 45 min including sample preparation.

Abstract
Foodborne pathogens, food adulterants, allergens, and toxic chemicals in food can cause major health hazards to humans and animals. Stringent quality control measures at all stages of food processing are required to ensure food safety. There is, therefore, a global need for affordable, reliable, and rapid tests that can be conducted at different process steps and processing sites, spanning the range from the sourcing of food to the end-product acquired by the consumer. Current laboratory-based food quality control tests are well established, but many are not suitable for rapid on-site investigations and are costly. Microfluidic paper analytical devices (μPADs) are a fast-growing field in medical diagnostics that can fill these gaps. In this review, we describe the latest developments in the applications of microfluidic paper analytic device (μPAD) technology in the food safety sector. State-of-the-art μPAD designs and fabrication methods, microfluidic assay principles, and various types of μPAD devices with food-specific applications are discussed. We have identified the prominent research and development trends and future directions for maximizing the value of microfluidic technology in the food sector and have highlighted key areas for improvement. We conclude that the μPAD technology is promising in food safety applications by using novel materials and improved methods to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the assays, with low cost.

Abstract
This work describes the development of a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) for the determination of copper in fresh and marine waters. A functionalized rhodamine-based chelator was synthesized and used as a chromogenic reagent, forming a highly intense pink complex with the analyte. The aim was to create a paper device that offers optimal performance and provides in-situ, rapid and cost-effective analysis in line with World Health Organization guidelines. The influence on the determination of several physical and chemical parameters was evaluated aiming to achieve the best performance. Under optimised conditions, a linear correlation was established in the range of 0.05-0.50 mg L-1 of copper, with a limit of detection of 10 μg L-1. The accuracy of the proposed method was assessed by comparing the results obtained with the developed μPAD and the results obtained with Inductively Coupled Plasma measurements (RE < 10 %). Recovery studies were also performed using different types of water samples with no need for any prior sample pre-treatment: tap, well, river and seawater. The average recovery percentage of 101 % (RSD = 4.3 %) was obtained, a clear indication of no multiplicative matrix interferences.

Abstract
The freshnessof the food is a major issue because spoiled food lacks critical nutrients for growth and could be harmful to human health if consumed directly. Nanomaterials are captivating due to their unique properties like large surface area, high selectivity, small dimension, great biocompatibility and conductivity, real-time onsite analysis, etc. which give them an advantage over conventional evaluation techniques. Despite these advantages of nanomaterials used in food safety and their preservation, food products can still get affected by various environmental factors (like pH, temperature, etc.), making the use of time-temperature indicators more condescending. This review is a comprehensive study on food safety, its causes, the responsible analytes, their remedies by various nanomaterials, the development of various nanosensors, and the various challenges faced in maintaining food safety standards to reduce the risk of contaminants.

Abstract
Silver ions (Ag+) exist widely in various areas of human life, and the food contamination caused by them poses a serious threat to human health. Among the numerous methods used for the detection of Ag+, fluorescence and colorimetric analysis have attracted much attention due to their inherent advantages, such as high sensitivity, simple operation, short time, low cost and visualized detection. In this work, Pd/Pt nanoflowers (NFs) specifically responsive to Ag+ were synthesized in a simple way to oxidize o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP). The interaction of Ag+ with the surface of Pd/Pt NFs inhibits the catalytic activity of Pd/Pt NFs towards the substrate OPD. A novel dual-channel nanosensor was constructed for the detection of Ag+, using the fluorescence intensity and UV-vis absorption intensity of DAP as output signals. This dual-mode analysis combines their respective advantages to significantly improve the sensitivity and accuracy of Ag+ detection. The results showed that the limit of detection was 5.8 nM for the fluorescence channel and 46.9 nM for the colorimetric channel, respectively. Moreover, the developed platform has been successfully used for the detection of Ag+ in real samples with satisfactory recoveries, which is promising for the application in the point-of-care testing of Ag+ in the field of food safety.

Abstract
Cu(II) ions are one of the essential mineral elements in the human body, but can pose a substantial health risk to people exposed to high concentrations of Cu(II) ions over a long period. Therefore, the ability to detect Cu(II) ions in drinking water is important. In this study, a novel colorimetric sensing probe for the easy and onsite detection of Cu(II) ions in drinking water was developed. The probe was constructed through selective chemical etching of triangular Ag nanoplates with tunable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties. Ethylenediamine (EDA) was used as an organic capping agent to improve the chemical stability of triangular Ag nanoplates. Selective chemical etching of the EDA-capped Ag nanoplates in the presence of Cu(II) ions as a result of the formation of a coordination complex between the EDA and Cu(II) ions caused remarkable changes in the nanoplates' LSPR characteristics. On the basis of this phenomenon, a novel colorimetric sensing probe capable of detecting Cu(II) ions in drinking water at concentrations above the safety limit was developed. Our findings were also extended to develop a portable and paper-based sensing probe with good long-term stability to overcome the shortcomings of liquid-phase colorimetric sensors without requiring a spectrometer. The proposed colorimetric sensing probes provide accurate results even with a real sample and offer numerous advantages over conventional sensing platforms, including clearly distinguishable color changes that can be observed by the naked eye; thus, the proposed probes can be used for the selective, reliable, and low-cost point-of-care detection of Cu(II) ions in water.

Abstract
The potential reach of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics into daily routines for exposure to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Cu in aerosolized particulate matter (PM) demands that microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) take into consideration the simple detection of these toxic PM components. Here, we propose μPADs with a dual-detection system for simultaneous ROS and Cu(II) detection. For colorimetric ROS detection, the glutathione (GSH) assay with a folding design to delay the reaction yielded complete ROS and GSH oxidation, and improved homogeneity of color development relative to using the lateral flow pattern. For electrochemical Cu(II) determination, 1,10-phenanthroline/Nafion modified graphene screen-printed electrodes showed ability to detect Cu(II) down to pg level being low enough to be applied to PM analysis. No intra- and inter-interference affecting both systems were found. The proposed μPADs obtained LODs for 1,4-naphthoquinone (1,4-NQ), used as the ROS representative, and Cu(II) of 8.3 ng and 3.6 pg, respectively and linear working ranges of 20 to 500 ng for ROS and 1 × 10-2 to 2 × 102 ng for Cu(II). Recovery of the method was between 81.4 and 108.3% for ROS and 80.5-105.3% for Cu(II). Finally, the sensors were utilized for simultaneous ROS and Cu(II) determination in PM samples and the results statistically agreed with those using the conventional methods at 95% confidence.

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, an efficient and simple colorimetric method for sensing of Cu2+ was established using inhibition effect of Cu2+ to the etching reaction of silver nanocubes (AgNCs) induced by H2O2. The etching reaction of AgNCs changes its morphology and absorbance with the visual appearance from yellow to colorless. On the contrary, the presence of Cu2+ can significantly inhibit the etching progress. Thus Cu2+ induces the obvious absorbance enhancement compared with AgNCs/H2O2 system. This design realizes colorimetric detection of Cu2+ based on the inhibition effect of etching reaction using AgNCs nanoprobe. The colorimetric response of AgNCs nanoprobe in ΔAbs417.5 shows the linearity with the increasing concentrations of Cu2+ from 0.01 to 40 μM with good selectivity. The concentration limit of Cu2+ efficaciously discriminated by the naked eye is as low as 0.01 μM. Furthermore, the Euclidean distance (ED) of the difference map in RGB change before and after response with Cu2+ is applied for further visualization recognition of Cu2+. All the above results indicate the outstanding practicability and accuracy of the proposed assay for Cu2+ sensing.

Abstract
The direct and rapid determination of trace cobalt ion (Co2+) in the electrolyte of zinc smelting plants is urgently needed but is impeded by the severe interference of extremely high-concentration zinc ions in the solution. Herein, colorimetric detection of Co2+ by the polyvinylpyrrolidone functionalized silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) is realized in solutions with the Zn/Co ratio being high, up to (0.8-5) × 104, which is located within the ratio range in industrial solution. The high concentration of Zn2+ induces a strong attenuation of Co2+-related signals in ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) extinction spectra; nevertheless, a good linear range for detecting 1-6 mg/L Co2+ in 50 g/L Zn2+ solution is still acquired. The strong anti-interference toward other metal ions and the mechanism understanding for trace Co2+ detection in such a high-concentration Zn2+ solution are also revealed by systematic analysis techniques. The results extend the AgNPs as colorimetric sensors to industrial solutions, providing a new strategy for detecting trace-metal ions in industrial plants.

Abstract
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (microPADs) are emerging as simple-to-use, low-cost point-of-care testing platforms. Such devices are mostly fabricated at present by creating hydrophobic barriers using wax or photoresist patterning on porous paper sheets. Even though devices fabricated using these methods are used and tested with a wide variety of analytes, still they pose many serious practical limitations for low-cost automated mass fabrication for their widespread applicability. We present an affordable and simple two-step process - cut and heat (CH-microPADs) - for the selective fabrication of hydrophilic channels and reservoirs on a wide variety of porous media such as tissue/printing/filter paper and cloth types, such as cotton and polyester, by a lamination process. The technique presents many advantages as compared to existing commonly used methods. The devices possess excellent mechanical strength against bending, folding and twisting, making them virtually unbreakable. They are structurally flexible and show good chemical resistance to various solvents, acids and bases, presenting widespread applicability in areas such as clinical diagnostics, biological sensing applications, food processing, and the chemical industry. Fabricated paper media 96 well-plate CH-microPAD configurations were tested for cell culture applications using mice embryonic fibroblasts and detection of proteins and enzymes using ELISA. With a simple two-step process and minimal human intervention, the technique presents a promising step towards mass fabrication of inexpensive disposable diagnostic devices for both resource-limited and developed regions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The ever increasing pests and diseases occurring during vegetable crop production is a challenge for agronomists and farmers. One of the practices to avoid or control the attack of the causal agents is the use of pesticides, including herbicides, insecticides nematicides, and molluscicides. However, the use of these products can result in the presence of harmful residues in horticultural crops, which cause several human diseases such as weakened immunity, splenomegaly, renal failure, hepatitis, respiratory diseases, and cancer. Therefore, it was necessary to find safe and effective techniques to detect these residues in horticultural crops and to monitor food security.
Main body
The review discusses the use of conventional methods to detect pesticide residues on horticultural crops, explain the sensitivity of nanoparticle markers to detect a variety of pesticides, discuss the different methods of rapid test paper technology and highlight recent research on rapid test paper detection of pesticides.
Conclusions
The methodologies discussed in the current review can be used in a certain situation, and the variety of methods enable detection of different types of pesticides in the environment. Notably, the highly sensitive immunoassay, which offers the advantages of being low cost, highly specific and sensitive, allows it to be integrated into many detection fields to accurately detect pesticides.

Fast and Sensitive Determination of Bioflavonoids Using a New Analytical System Based on Label-Free Silver Triangular Nanoplates. SENSORS 2022; 22:s22030843.

Abstract
Optical sensors based on silver triangular nanoplates (AgTNPs) are insufficiently studied as probes for the spectrophotometric determination of biologically active compounds. In the present article, an interaction between label-free AgTNPs and bioflavonoids in the presence of silver(I) ions was assessed to outline the possibilities of AgTNPs as a colorimetric probe for the fast and sensitive determination of bioflavonoids. It is shown that the interaction was accompanied by a bathochromic shift of the local surface plasmon resonance band of nanoparticles and an increase in its intensity. Seven bioflavonoids differing in their structure were tested. The influence of the structure of analytes and the main external factors on the analytical signal is discussed in detail. It was found that the detection limits of bioflavonoids in the selected optimal conditions increased in the series morin < rutin = quercetin < taxifolin and came to 0.9, 1.2, 1.2, and 2.0 μmol L−1, respectively. Chrysin, naringenin, and naringin were found not to affect the spectral characteristics of AgTNPs. The suggested approach was applied for the spectrophotometric determination of flavonoids in pharmaceuticals and onion peel.

Abstract
The advent of microfluidic systems has led to significant developments in lab-on-a-chip devices integrating several functions onto a single platform. Over the years, these miniature devices have become a promising tool for faster analytical testing, displaying high precision and efficiency. Nonetheless, most microfluidic systems are not commercially available. Research is actually undergoing on the application of these devices in environmental, food, biomedical, and healthcare industries. The lab-on-a-chip industry is predicted to grow annually by 20%. Here, we review the use of lab-on-a-chip devices in the food sector. We present fabrication technologies and materials to developing lab-on-a-chip devices. We compare electrochemical, optical, colorimetric, chemiluminescence and biological methods for the detection of pathogens and microorganisms. We emphasize emulsion processing, food formulation, nutraceutical development due to their promising characteristics. Last, smart packaging technologies like radio frequency identification and indicators are highlighted because they allow better product identification and traceability.

Abstract
In the present study, Cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanosheets were applied for establishing a dual fluorometric and smartphone-paper-based colorimetric method to detect isoniazid. CoOOH nanosheets quenched the fluorescence emission of sulfur and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (S,N-CDs) due to inner filter effect (IFE). The quenched fluorescence intensity of S,N-CDs restored in the presence of isoniazid due to destroying CoOOH nanosheets by this drug. Moreover, with adding isoniazid the solution color of CoOOH nanosheets altered from brownish yellow to pale yellow. We exploited these facts to design a turn off-on fluorometric and paper based colorimetric sensor for isoniazid measurement at the range of 0.5-10 and 5-100 μM with detection limits of 0.28 μM and 4.0 μM, respectively. The introduced dual sensor was used for pharmaceutical, environmental and biological analysis of isoniazid with satisfactory results. The paper based colorimetric sensor can be applied for isoniazid portable monitoring by smartphone as a detector and even nocked eyes.

Abstract
Growing concerns about the possible toxicity of silver to aquatic organisms, bacteria, and humans have led to newly issued regulations by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the use of silver. However, the increase in bacterial resistance to antibiotics has led to a resurgence in the use of silver as a biocidal agent in applications ranging from washing machine additives to the drinking water treatment system on the International Space Station (ISS). For Ag+ ion detection, a highly sensitive and reversible optical sensor has been established. The optode relies on a novel Schiff base, namely 2-[(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylimino)methyl]phenol (BTMP) immobilized within PVC film and also incorporated with tris(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate (TEHP) and Aliquat 336 as an ion carrier. Under optimum conditions (i.e. pH 8.5), the proposed sensor displayed a linear response to Ag+ over 4.8 × 10-9 to 1.0 × 10-5 M (0.8494-1698.7 μg L-1) with limits of detection and quantification of 1.5 × 10-9 and 4.8 × 10-9 M (0.2548 and 0.8494 μg L-1), respectively. The sensor's response time was found to be 8.0 min. The sensor was applied successfully to determine Ag+ ion in some real samples, including food, biological, water, and environmental samples.

Abstract
Low cost, disposable paper based electrical sensor to examine the analyte concentration in an extremely small volume of sample solution is essential for environmental and healthcare applications. For the development of paper based devices, sophisticated instruments are essential to pattern electrode on the top surface of the paper. In most cases, such fabricated device results in direct contact with the analyte solution on the surface of the electrode during electrical detection and leads to high electrical double layer capacitance. In this work, we have focused to reduce the double layer capacitance by fabricating hand drawn electrode paper sensor utilising the reverse side of the paper. This design acts as a sample storage and facilitate impedimetric sensing of ionic concentration of analyte solution using a few microlitre. Droplet formation at the bottom of the paper in the confined area is visually monitored to reduce sample wastage. The interaction between two different electrode materials (graphite and silver) on the paper substrate with the different volume and concentration of the electrolyte is analysed to improve the robustness and sensitivity of the measurement. Simultaneously, we observed a reduction in the electrical double layer effect on the low sample volumes. The proposed paper based sensor shows the enhanced impedance stability on silver electrode patterned paper chip than graphite electrode paper chip to detect the different ionic concentration of artificial sweat sample. Finally, it demonstrates that paper chip has great potential as a disposable diagnostics sensor in healthcare applications.

Abstract
There is a continuing need for tools and devices which can simplify, quicken and reduce the cost of analyses of food safety and quality. Chemical sensors and biosensors are increasingly being developed for this purpose, reaping from the opportunities provided by nanotechnology. Due to the distinct electrical and optical properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), this material plays a vital role in (bio)sensor development. This review is an analysis of chemical sensors and biosensors based on silver nanoparticles with application in food and beverage matrices. It consists of academic research published from 2015 to 2020. The paper is structured to separately explore the designs of two major (bio)sensor classes: electrochemical (including voltammetric and impedimetric sensors) and optical sensors (including colourimetric and luminescent), with special focus on the type of silver nanomaterial and its role in the sensor system. The review indicates that diverse nanosensors have been developed, capable of detecting analytes such as pesticides, mycotoxins, fertilisers, microorganisms, heavy metals, and various additives with exceptional analytical performance. Current trends in the design of such sensors are highlighted and challenges which need to be overcome in the future are discussed.

Abstract
A new paper-based analytical device design was fabricated by a wax printing method for simultaneous determination of Cu(ii), Co(ii), Ni(ii), Hg(ii), and Mn(ii). Colorimetry was used to quantify these heavy metal ions using bathocuproine (Bc), dimethylglyoxime (DMG), dithizone (DTZ), and 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol (PAR) as complexing agents. The affinity of complexing agents to heavy metal ions is dependent on the formation constant (Kf). To enhance the selectivity for heavy metal ion determination, the new device was designed with two pretreatment zones, where masking agents remove the interfering ions. It was found that two pretreatment zones worked better than a single pretreatment zone at removing interferences. The reaction time, sample and complexing agent volumes, and complexing agent concentrations were optimized. The analytical results were achieved with the lowest detectable concentrations of 0.32, 0.59, 5.87, 0.20, and 0.11 mg L-1 for Cu(ii), Co(ii), Ni(ii), Hg(ii), and Mn(ii), respectively. The linear ranges were found to be 0.32-63.55 mg L-1 (Cu(ii)), 0.59-4.71 mg L-1 (Co(ii)), 5.87-352.16 mg L-1 (Ni(ii)), 0.20-12.04 mg L-1 (Hg(ii)), and 0.11-0.55 mg L-1 (Mn(ii)). The lowest detectable concentration and linearity for the five metal ions allow the application of this device for the determination of heavy metal ions in various water samples. The sensor showed high selectivity and efficiency for simultaneous determination of Cu(ii), Co(ii), Ni(ii), Hg(ii), and Mn(ii) in drinking, tap, and pond water samples on a single device and detection with the naked eye. The results illustrated that the proposed sensor showed good accuracy and precision agreement with the standard ICP-OES method.

Abstract
This paper describes the use of fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing to fabricate paper-based analytical devices (PAD) with three-dimensional (3D) features, which is termed as 3D-PAD. Material depositions followed by heat reflow is a standard approach for the fabrication of PAD. Such devices are primarily two-dimensional (2D) and can hold only a limited amount of liquid samples in the device. This constraint can pose problems when the sample consists of organic solvents that have low interfacial energies with the hydrophobic barriers. To overcome this limitation, we developed a method to fabricate PAD integrated with 3D features (vertical walls as an example) by FDM 3D printing. 3D-PADs were fabricated using two types of thermoplastics. One thermoplastic had a low melting point that formed hydrophobic barriers upon penetration, and another thermoplastic had a high melting point that maintained 3D features on the filter paper without reflowing. We used polycaprolactone (PCL) for the former, and polylactic acid (PLA) for the latter. Both PCL and PLA were printed with FDM without gaps at the interface, and the resulting paper-based devices possessed hydrophobic barriers consisting of PCL seamlessly integrated with vertical features consisting of PLA. We validated the capability of 3D-PAD to hold 30 μL of solvents (ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and acetone), all of which would not be retained on conventional PADs fabricated with solid wax printers. To highlight the importance of containing an increased amount of liquid samples, a colorimetric assay for the formation of dimethylglyoxime (DMG)-Ni (II) was demonstrated using two volumes (10 μL and 30 μL) of solvent-based dimethylglyoxime (DMG). FDM printing of 3D-PAD enabled the facile construction of 3D structures integrated with PAD, which would find applications in paper-based chemical and biological assays requiring organic solvents.

Abstract
A newly developed research topic, fabricated paper-based microfluidic sensors, was discussed in the field of low-cost environmental detection. Distinguished with the traditional dipstick or lateral-flow setups, these paper-based microfluidic sensors can serve as a tool for onsite quantitative and semi-quantitative measurements, without risks to cause environmental pollution. They have attracted increasing interest since the first easy-fabricated paper-based setup reported by Whitesides group in 2007. Most of the publications utilized paper-based sensors in clinical detection. In recent years, some groups started to use these sensors in environmental measurement, leading to precise, easy operation, low-cost, and eco-friendly methods for onsite detection. In this review, paper-based microfluidic sensors were briefly introduced, followed by literatures review and discussion for future perspectives.

A Paper-Based Ultrasensitive Optical Sensor for the Selective Detection of H2S Vapors. CHEMOSENSORS 2021.

Abstract
A selective and inexpensive chemical paper-based sensor for the detection of gaseous H2S is presented. The triggering of the sensing mechanism is based on an arene-derivative dye which undergoes specific reactions in the presence of H2S, allowing for colorimetric analysis. The dye is embedded into a porous cellulose matrix. We passively exposed the paper strips to H2S generated in situ, while the absorbance was monitored via an optic fiber connected to a spectrophotometer. The kinetics of the emerging absorbance at 534 nm constitute the sensor response and maintain a very stable calibration signal in both concentration and time dimensions for quantitative applications. The time and concentration dependence of the calibration function allows the extraction of unusual analytical information that expands the potential comparability with other sensors in the literature, as the limit of detection admissible within a given exposure time. The use of this specific reaction ensures a very high selectivity against saturated vapors of primary interferents and typical volatile compounds, including alkanethiols. The specific performance of the proposed sensor was explicitly compared with other colorimetric alternatives, including standard lead acetate strips. Additionally, the use of a smartphone camera to follow the color change in the sensing reaction was also tested. With this straightforward method, also affordable for miniature photodiode devices, a limit of detection below the ppm scale was reached in both colorimetric approaches.

Abstract
In this work, a paper device consisted of a patterned paper chip, wicking pads, and a base was fabricated. On the paper chip, DNA–gold nanoparticles (DNA–AuNPs) were deposited and Hg2+ ions could be adsorbed by the DNA–AuNPs. The formed DNA–AuNP/Hg2+ nanozyme could catalyze the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)–H2O2 chromogenic reaction. Due to the wicking pads, a larger volume of Hg2+ sample could be applied to the paper device for Hg2+ detection and therefore the color response could be enhanced. The paper device achieved a cut-off value of 50 nM by the naked eye for Hg2+ under optimized conditions. Moreover, quantitative measurements could be implemented by using a desktop scanner and extracting grayscale values. A linear range of 50–2000 nM Hg2+ was obtained with a detection limit of 10 nM. In addition, the paper device could be applied in the detection of environmental water samples with high recoveries ranging from 85.7% to 105.6%. The paper-device-based colorimetric detection was low-cost, simple, and demonstrated high potential in real-sample applications.

Abstract
A novel, low-cost, and portable paper strip biosensor was developed for the detection of tetracycline antibiotics. Escherichia coli/pMTLacZ containing the tetracycline-mediated regulatory gene used as recognition elements with β-galactosidase as the reporter protein was designed and applied to cheap and portable Whatman filter paper as the carrier to prepare this paper strip biosensor. The detection process was optimized by using EDTA and polymyxin B as a sensitizer to improve the accuracy of detection for complicated matrices. The paper strip biosensor was suitable for tetracycline concentrations in the range of 75-10000 μg/L in water and 75-7500 μg/L in soil extracts. Detection limits of 5.23-17.1 μg/L for water and 5.21-35.3 μg/kg for the EDTA soil extracts were achieved at a response time of 90 min. The standard deviation (SD) of detected values by the biosensor paper strip compared to those determined by HPLC was between 13.4 and 59.6% for tetracycline and 2.01-33.5% for oxytetracycline in water and was between 6.22 and 72.8% for tetracycline and 5.90-43.4% for oxytetracycline in soil. This suggests that the paper strip biosensor was suitable for detecting both tetracycline and oxytetracycline in water, and could provide a suitable detection for extractable oxytetracycline in soils. Therefore, this biosensor provides a simple, economical, and portable piece of field kit for on-site monitoring of tetracyclines in a variety of environmental samples, such as pond water and agricultural soil that are susceptible to tetracycline pollution from feed additives and fertilization with livestock manure.

Abstract
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) as a potentially powerful analytical platform have recently gained significant attention for on-site monitoring of heavy metal ions, which are one of the most significant environmental concern because of non-degradability and high toxicity. The commonly applied μPADs suffers from some defects, such as heterogeneous deposition of reagent, resulting in poor detection limits and low sensitivity. So, in this work, a three-dimensional origami μPAD combined with PVC Membrane was developed, which can manage problems of movement of colored products or leaching out the dye and leading to color heterogeneity in the detection zones. Furthermore, a waste layer was added to μPAD for loading of more amounts of the analyte, which results in improvement of detection limit. As a proof of concept, the μPAD was used for the analysis of Cu2+ ion. For this purpose, pyrocatechol violet and chrome azurol S as colorimetric reagents were doped into PVC membrane and injected in the detection zone. The proposed μPAD was presented good linearity in the ranges of 5.0-1400.0 and 5.0-200.0 mg L-1, and the limits of detections of 1.7 and 1.9 mg L-1 in presence of chrome azurol S and pyrocatechol violet, respectively.

Abstract
Radiation dosimeters are critical for accurately assessing the levels of radiation exposure of tumor sites and surrounding tissues and for optimizing therapeutic interventions as well as for monitoring environmental exposure. To fill the need for a simple, user-friendly, and inexpensive dosimeter, we designed an innovative colorimetric nanosensor-based assay for detecting ionizing radiation. We show that hydroxyl radicals generated by ionizing radiation can be used to etch gold nanorods (AuNRs) and silver nanoprisms (AgNPRs), yielding reproducible color changes for radiation dose detection in the range of 50-2000 rad, broad enough to cover doses used in hyperfractionated, conventional, and hypofractionated radiotherapy. This range of doses detected by this assay correlates with radiation-induced DNA damage response in mammalian cells. Furthermore, this AuNR- and AgNPR-based sensing platform has been established in a paper format that can be readily adopted for a wide range of applications and translation.

Abstract
Pb2+ is one of the major environmental pollutants, which can be visually detected by surface plasmon resonance of nanoparticles. Paper based analytical device, as a newly developed microfluidic detection platform, is featured in cost-effective and suitable for on-site analysis. In this paper, a sensitive and portable detection method for Pb2+ was proposed, in which Pb2+ was electrokinetically stacked on the paper fluidic channel by geometric field amplification effect and visualized online by glutathione-modified silver nanoparticles. Colorimetric quantification of the visualized stacking band was conducted by smart phone camera. To avoid unfavorable influence from pH change on the surface plasmon resonance visualization, field amplification effect was introduced by geometric design of the paper fluidic channel. The enriched Pb2+ was clearly visible on the paper substrate, and the stacking band intensity was about four orders of magnitude enhanced, comparing to the intensity without stacking. A linear response to Pb2+ was observed in the range of 0.3-7.0 μM (R2 = 0.997) with a limit of detection of 86 nM and a limit of quantity of 0.28 μM. The established method was used in the detection of Pb2+ from river and lake water samples, and the results were confirmed by atomic absorption spectroscopy method.

Abstract
A colorimetric sensor is fabricated for effective on-site monitoring of Cu2+ ions content based on the distance-dependent optical properties of gold nanoparticles-polyvinyl alcohol-citrate (Au-NPs-PVA-Cy) which plasmonic effect electrostatically was controlled by PVA-Cy stabilizing indigo-carmine (IC) functionalizing. The surface-modified gold nanoparticles were extremely stable with a strong affinity toward Cu2+ ions. Citrate ion was employed as a cross-linking agent for pairs of Au-NPs-PVA-Cy and IC for stabilizing coordination between Cu2+ ion and IC. The active materials were characterized by UV-Vis, SEM, DLS, XRD, FT-IR, and EDS analyses. The sensor response toward Cu2+ ion was found to be linear in the range of 0.0974 to 3.27 μM with the limit of detection and quantification values of 0.021 and 0.07 μM, respectively. The sensor represents good sensitivity and stability, promisingly suggesting this device for the accurate and repeatable determination of Cu2+ in real water samples. The effect of different foreign ions on the selectivity of the sensor was checked. The sensor has a long shelf life in comparison to other similar colorimetric sensors. Also, it shows a repeatable response with RSD% of 2.02%. Thus, the sensing of Cu2+ ions based on the electrostatically control plasmonic of Au-NPs-PVA-Cy was developed with proper signaling based on the color change from dark blue to light blue as readily seen by the naked eye. Furthermore, the efficient environmental applicability of this simple and rapid determination of the Cu2+ sensor is proved.

A Pentapeptide with Tyrosine Moiety as Fluorescent Chemosensor for Selective Nanomolar-Level Detection of Copper(II) Ions. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21030743. [PMID: 31979365 PMCID: PMC7037753 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21030743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Revised: 01/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Herein, we have investigated principally with the use of UV and fluorescence (steady-state and time-resolved) spectroscopy the interactions between selected pentapeptides with tyrosine residue (EYHHQ, EHYHQ, EHHQY, and KYHHE) and various metal ions (Cu2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Cr3+, Cd2+, Ag+, Pb2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Al3+, Fe2+, and Ga3+) in order to establish the relationship between the position of a tyrosine residue in the peptide sequence and the metal ion-binding properties. Among the peptides studied, EHYHQ was evaluated as an efficient and selective ligand for developing a chemosensor for the detection of copper(II) ions. While significant fluorescence emission quenching was observed for that peptide in the presence of Cu2+ cations, other metal cations used at the same and at considerably higher concentrations caused a negligible change of the fluorescence emission spectrum, indicating a high selectivity of EHYHQ for Cu2+ ions. Under optimum conditions, fluorescence intensity was inversely proportional to the concentration of Cu2+ ions. The limit of detection of Cu2+ ions with the use of EHYHQ was determined at the level of 26.6 nM. The binding stoichiometry of the complexes of the studied peptides with Cu2+ ions was evaluated spectrophotometrically and fluorimetrically (as in the case of EHYHQ confirmed by mass spectrometry) and found to be 1:2 (Cu2+-peptide) for all the investigated systems. Furthermore, the stability constant (K) values of these complexes were determined. The reversibility of the proposed Cu2+ ions sensor was confirmed, the pH range where the sensor acts was determined, while its analytical performance was compared with some other reported recently fluorescent sensors. The mechanism of the interactions between EHYHQ and Cu2+ was proposed on the basis of NMR spectroscopy investigations.

Abstract
Paper-based microfluidic devices have advanced significantly in recent years as they are affordable, automated with capillary action, portable, and biodegradable diagnostic platforms for a variety of health, environmental, and food quality applications. In terms of commercialization, however, paper-based microfluidics still have to overcome significant challenges to become an authentic point-of-care testing format with the advanced capabilities of analyte purification, multiplex analysis, quantification, and detection with high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, fluid flow manipulation for multistep integration, which involves valving and flow velocity control, is also a critical parameter to achieve high-performance devices. Considering these limitations, the aim of this review is to (i) comprehensively analyze the fabrication techniques of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices, (ii) provide a theoretical background and various methods for fluid flow manipulation, and iii) highlight the recent detection techniques developed for various applications, including their advantages and disadvantages.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2019; 411:6497-6508. [PMID: 31350590 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-019-02032-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2019] [Revised: 07/09/2019] [Accepted: 07/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
A simple double-layered three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) was designed for the simultaneous determination of six metal ions-Fe(III), Ni(II), Cr(VI), Cu(II), Al(III), and Zn(II)-for the first time. The 3D μPAD was composed of two paper layers: a top pretreatment layer and a bottom colorimetric detection layer. The sample solution added to the central sample reservoir of the 3D μPAD could be automatically divided into eight flow pathways and be automatically pretreated while flowing through the pretreatment zones located in the microfluidic channels, and automatically carried out the chromogenic reactions after reaching the detection zones. Random diffusion of the chromogenic reagents was effectively prevented by transport of the pretreated sample solution to the detection zones through 3D microfluidic channels with an L-type circuitous flow route design, resulting in highly increased color uniformity and reproducibility. Combined with use of a flat LED lamp as an upward lighting source and a smartphone as a convenient detector, improved color perception, highly enhanced sensitivity, and an extended detection range were obtained. Finally, the double-layered 3D μPAD was applied to the multiplexed determination of the six metal ions in mixtures and environmental samples with satisfactory results. Detection limits as low as 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, 0.03, 0.08, and 0.04 mg/L for Fe(III), Ni(II), Cr(VI), Cu(II), Al(III), and Zn(II) detection, respectively, were achieved, which are about one order of magnitude lower than obtained with previously reported μPADs for the detection of metal ions. The present 3D μPAD is simple, fast, selective, sensitive, and user-friendly, and holds great application potential for multiplexed on-site analysis.
