Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1287:342132. [PMID: 38182354 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342132] [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: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, headspace single-drop microextraction (HS-SDME) has attracted some attention for developing sensitive and selective colorimetric assays due to its excellent capability to reduce matrix interference and enrich analytes. However, the single droplet limits direct visual observation of color change and its quantitative measurement suffers from reduced optical path length. Therefore, amplifying the detection signals in both volume and intensity is an important and challenging task for improving the sensitivity, stability, and accuracy of such colorimetric analysis. RESULTS In this study, a "headspace-nanoenzyme" (HS-NE) strategy was proposed that successfully addressed these challenges and enabled the colorimetric and fluorescent dual-mode detection of trace Hg2+. Atomic Hg0, generated via chemical vapor generation (CVG), underwent headspace reaction with AuNPs droplet to form Au@HgNPs, thus catalyzing the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) in the presence of H2O2. The absorbance and fluorescence intensity of oxidized OPD were proportion to the concentration of Hg2+ in the sample solution. Due to the greatly enhanced peroxidase-like activity by Au@HgNPs, the limit of detection was as low as 0.98 nM and 0.21 nM for the colorimetric and fluorescent modes, respectively. The applicability of this assay was further demonstrated with determination of Hg2+ in real environmental and biological samples. Moreover, a convenient and cost-effective paper-based sensing platform was fabricated for rapid on-site detection of Hg2+. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY This novel HS-NE strategy combines HS-SDME and nanoenzyme-based sensing to achieve dual effects of eliminating matrix interference and amplifying the measurement signal, resulting in improved accuracy, enhanced stability, high sensitivity, and exceptional selectivity, with great potential for on-site determination of trace Hg2+.

[PMID: 37836816 PMCID: PMC10574334 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28196973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The toxic effects of antimony pose risks to human health. Therefore, simple analytical techniques for its widescale monitoring in water sources are in demand. In this study, a sensitive microplate apta-enzyme assay for Sb3+ detection was developed. The biotinylated aptamer A10 was hybridized with its complementary biotinylated oligonucleotide T10 and then immobilized on the surface of polysterene microplate wells. Streptavidin labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) bound to the biotin of a complementary complex and transformed the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine substrate, generating an optical signal. Sb3+ presenting in the sample bounded to an A10 aptamer, thus releasing T10, preventing streptavidin-HRP binding and, as a result, reducing the optical signal. This effect allowed for the detection of Sb3+ with a working range from 0.09 to 2.3 µg/mL and detection limit of 42 ng/mL. It was established that the presence of Ag+ at the stage of A10/T10 complex formation promoted dehybridization of the aptamer A10 and the formation of the A10/Sb3+ complex. The working range of the Ag+-enhanced microplate apta-enzyme assay for Sb3+ was determined to be 8-135 ng/mL, with a detection limit of 1.9 ng/mL. The proposed enhanced approach demonstrated excellent selectivity against other cations/anions, and its practical applicability was confirmed through an analysis of drinking and spring water samples with recoveries of Sb3+ in the range of 109.0-126.2% and 99.6-106.1%, respectively.

Abstract
The reaction mechanism of Ag-containing metal organic framework (Ag-BTC) and hydrogen arsenide (AsH3) was discussed in detail in this work. Silver ions in Ag-BTC were reacted with AsH3, and silver nanoparticles were generated on the surface of Ag-BTC, causing its color changed. This property was further applied to a hydride generation-colorimetric analytical system. As(III) was converted to AsH3via hydride generation and then reacted with the Ag-BTC (immobilized on test paper), leading to the test paper changed from white to black. Visual colorimetric and smartphone RGB readout mode were used for this analytical system. The results could be readout by naked-eye in visual colorimetric mode and a smartphone in RGB readout mode. Under the optimized conditions, As(III) concentration as low as 10 μg/L and 50 μg/L could be readout by smartphone and naked-eye, respectively. This method was further successful applied to As(III) determination in real samples (drinking water samples and scented tea samples), with recoveries of 91-113%.

Abstract
Excessive intake of SO2, a widely-used food additive, is able to cause respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological disease. For effectively monitoring SO2 level, we have developed a headspace single drop microextraction based visual colorimetry for highly sensitive and selective sensing of SO2 with TMB (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine) as a classic chromogenic reagent. A combination of single drop and headspace microextraction integrated merits of high extraction efficiency, low consumption of reagents and excellent matrix interference-resistant ability. The colorimetric principle was based on oxidation of TMB, and SO2 could compete with TMB to preferentially react with ·OH, resulting in the fading of color blue that could be easily read out by naked eye. LOD was calculated to be 0.53 μM and 5 μM by UV-vis and naked eye, respectively. The method was successfully utilized to analysis of food samples, and the experimental device was miniaturized and easy to construct, thus showing a promising potential in field analysis.

Abstract
This work presents the use of a 96-well plate as headspaces for the determination of ascorbic acid in samples loaded in the 96-well plate. Ascorbic acid in the sample is oxidized to iodide by the addition of excess acidic iodate solution into the well. The iodide is further oxidized by the remaining iodate to molecular iodine. A single sheet of moist starch indicator paper is immediately placed over the 96-well plate after the addition of the iodate with the moisture forming a gas seal. The iodine gas in each well diffuses through the headspace to react with the starch paper producing circular areas of a colored starch-iodine complex. After 15 min the indicator paper is scanned, and the digital images of the complex are analyzed by using ImageJ software to obtain blue intensity values. The precision of the intensity values from 12 wells containing 20 μL of 2.84 mM standard ascorbic acid is <2% relative standard deviation. Optimal conditions for detection were investigated, including the starch concentration, the acidic iodate reagent, and the measurement time. The linear calibration range of ascorbic acid is 0.284-2.84 mM, based on the plot of concentration vs. -log(reflectance). The coefficient of determination (r2) is >0.998. Samples of fruit juice and dietary supplements were analyzed for their ascorbic acid contents. The results obtained from the headspace reflectance method are not statistically different from values obtained from the titration method using paired t-tests (α = 0.05).

Abstract
Due to their unique optical properties, narrow size distributions, and good biological affinity, gold nanoparticles have been widely applied in sensing analysis, catalytic, environmental monitoring, and disease therapy. The color of a gold nanoparticle solution and its maximum characteristic absorption wavelength will change with the particle size and inter-particle spacing. These properties are often used in the detection of hazardous chemicals, such as pesticide residues, heavy metals, banned additives, and biotoxins, in food. Because the gold nanoparticles-colorimetric sensing strategy is simple, quick, and sensitive, this method has extensive applications in real-time on-site monitoring and rapid testing of food quality and safety. Herein, we review the preparation methods, functional modification, photochemical properties, and applications of gold nanoparticle sensors in rapid testing. In addition, we elaborate on the colorimetric sensing mechanisms. Finally, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of colorimetric sensors based on gold nanoparticles, and directions for future development.
