Abstract
Pharmaceutical pollution has received considerable attention because of the harmful effects of pharmaceutical compounds on human health, even in trace amounts. Amoxicillin is one of the frequently used antibiotics that was included in the list of emerging water pollutants. Therefore, a highly selective and rapid technique for amoxicillin detection is required. In this work, a new aptamer was selected for amoxicillin and utilized for the development of a label-free electrochemical aptasensor. Aptamer selection was performed using the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment. The selected aptamer showed good specificity against other antibiotics, including the structurally related antibiotics: ampicillin and ciprofloxacin. Among the selected aptamers, Amx3 exhibited the lowest dissociation constant value of 112.9 nM. An aptasensor was developed by immobilization of thiolated Amx3 aptamer onto gold screen-printed electrodes via self-assembly, which was characterized using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The detection was realized by monitoring the change in the differential pulse voltammetry peak current in the ferro/ferricyanide redox couple upon binding of the aptasensor to amoxicillin. The aptasensor showed very good sensitivity with an ultralow limit of detection of 0.097 nM. When the aptasensor was tested using actual spiked milk samples, excellent recovery percentages were observed. The label-free electrochemical aptasensor developed herein is a promising tool for the selective and sensitive detection of amoxicillin in environmental samples.

Abstract
Dual-emissive fluorescence probes were designed by integrating porphyrin into the frameworks of UiO-66 for ratiometric fluorescence sensing of amoxicillin (AMX). Porphyrin integrated UiO-66 showed dual emission in the blue and red region. AMX resulted in the quenching of blue fluorescence component, attributable to the charge neutralization and hydrogen bonds induced energy transfer. AMX was detected using (F438/F654) as output signals. Two linear relationships were observed (from 10 to 1000 nM and 1 to 100 µM), with a limit of detection of 27 nM. The porphyrin integrated UiO-66 probe was used to detect AMX in practical samples. This work widens the road for the development of dual/multiple emissive fluorescence sensors for analytical applications, providing materials and theoretical supporting for food, environmental, and human safety.

Monitoring levamisole in food and the environment with high selectivity using an electrochemical chiral sensor comprising an MOF and molecularly imprinted polymer. Food Chem 2024; 430:137105. [PMID: 37562261 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137105] [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: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023]
Abstract
We used an enhanced recognition strategy to fabricate a novel levamisole-detecting chiral electrochemical sensor featuring a metal-organic framework (MOF) combined with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). We first synthesised a Cu/Zn-[benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid] (Cu/Zn-BTC) MOF as the molecular immobilisation and signal-amplifying unit, and then prepared the MIP (molecular recognition unit) using levamisole as the template on a glassy carbon electrode modified with Cu/Zn-BTC. We obtained a composite chiral sensor with enhanced recognition capability for levamisole after template removal. Using the templated sites as the switch and K3[Fe(CN)6]/K4[Fe(CN)6] as a probe, we established a new method for detecting levamisole in meat products and water bodies. The linear detection range and detection limit of our chiral sensor are 5 to 6000 × 10-11 mol/L and 1.65 × 10-12 mol/L, respectively. Moreover, the sensor exhibited 93.8-109.0% recovery in the detection of levamisole in chicken and other real samples.

Abstract
The penicillin derivative amoxicillin (AMX) plays an important role in treating various types of infections caused by bacteria. However, excessive use of AMX may have negative health effects. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to detect and quantify the AMX in pharmaceutical drugs, biological fluids, and environmental samples with high sensitivity. Therefore, this review article provides valuable and up-to-date information on nanostructured material-based optical and electrochemical sensors to detect AMX in various biological and chemical samples. The role of using different nanostructured materials on the performance of important optical sensors such as colorimetric sensors, fluorescence sensors, surface-enhanced Raman scattering sensors, chemiluminescence/electroluminescence sensors, optical immunosensors, optical fibre-based sensors, and several important electrochemical sensors based on different electrode types have been discussed. Moreover, nanocomposites, polymer, and MXenes-based electrochemical sensors have also been discussed, in which such materials are being used to further enhance the sensitivity of these sensors. Furthermore, nanocomposite-based photo-electrochemical sensors and the market availability of biosensors including AMX have also been discussed briefly. Finally, the conclusion, challenges, and future perspectives of the above-mentioned sensing techniques for AMX detection are presented.

Abstract
The abuse and residues of antibiotics have a great impact on the environment and organisms, and their determination has become very important. Due to their low contents, varieties and complex matrices, effective recognition, separation and enrichment are usually required prior to determination. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), a kind of highly selective polymer prepared via molecular imprinting technology (MIT), are used widely in the analytical detection of antibiotics, as adsorbents of solid-phase extraction (SPE) and as recognition elements of sensors. Herein, recent advances in MIPs for antibiotic residue analysis are reviewed. Firstly, several new preparation techniques of MIPs for detecting antibiotics are briefly introduced, including surface imprinting, nanoimprinting, living/controlled radical polymerization, and multi-template imprinting, multi-functional monomer imprinting and dummy template imprinting. Secondly, several SPE modes based on MIPs are summarized, namely packed SPE, magnetic SPE, dispersive SPE, matrix solid-phase dispersive extraction, solid-phase microextraction, stir-bar sorptive extraction and pipette-tip SPE. Thirdly, the basic principles of MIP-based sensors and three sensing modes, including electrochemical sensing, optical sensing and mass sensing, are also outlined. Fourthly, the research progress on molecularly imprinted SPEs (MISPEs) and MIP-based electrochemical/optical/mass sensors for the detection of various antibiotic residues in environmental and food samples since 2018 are comprehensively reviewed, including sulfonamides, quinolones, β-lactams and so on. Finally, the preparation and application prospects of MIPs for detecting antibiotics are outlined.

Abstract
Developing robust and sensitive food safety detection methods is important for human health. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a powerful analytical technique for complete separation of input source (electricity) and output signal (light), thereby significantly reducing background ECL signal. ECL biosensors have attracted considerable attention owing to their high sensitivity and wide dynamic range in food safety detection. In this review, we introduce the principles of ECL biosensors and common ECL luminophores, as well as the latest applications of ECL biosensors in food analysis. Further, novel nanomaterial assembly strategies have been progressively incorporated into the design of ECL biosensors, and by demonstrating some representative works, we summarize the development status of ECL biosensors in detection of mycotoxins, heavy metal ions, antibiotics, pesticide residues, foodborne pathogens, and other illegal additives. Finally, the current challenges faced by ECL biosensors are outlined and the future directions for advancing ECL research are presented.

Abstract
Environmental water quality monitoring plays an important role in human health risk assessments for pharmaceuticals in water and pollutant source control. A new chemical detection method was developed to enhance molecular selectivity and portability by combining the molecularly imprinted technique and an electroosmotic pump (EOP), which requires only a small pump, batteries and stopwatch in principle. Selective chemical adsorption on the surface-modified EOP decreases the pumping performance of EOP due to a decrease in the surface electric charge. For proof of concept, the microfabricated EOPs with chemical surface treatment were used to investigate the effects of surface chemical change on pumping performance. The microfluidic EOP of a size of 20 mm × 20 mm × 1 mm was modified by an interval immobilization method using the template of 4-(tributylammonium-methyl)-benzyltributylammonium chloride (TBTA) and evaluated by measuring EOF. The pumping performance of the surface-modified EOP was decreased by the selective adsorption of TBTA to a two-point recognition site on the EOP surfaces. The relationships between the flow rate and the TBTA concentration were fitted to the Langmuir equation. The EOP can selectively detect the model substance even in a mixture solution with a different chemical compound. This molecular imprinted EOP does not require large and expensive instruments for driving the device and chemical detection, which can be applied to a portable analytical device for onsite analysis.

Abstract
Amoxicillin (AMX) is among the most successful antibiotics used for human therapy. It is used extensively to prevent or treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. However, the widespread distribution and excess utilization of AMX can be an environmental and health risk due to the hazardous potential associated to its pharmaceutical industries effluents. Besides, their extensive use in food animal production may result in some undesirable residues in food, e.g. meat, eggs and milk. Consequently, at high enough concentrations in biological fluids, AMX may be responsible of various diseases such as nausea, vomiting, rashes, and antibiotic-associated colitis. For this reason, the detection and quantification of amoxicillin in pharmaceuticals, biological fluids, environmental samples and foodstuffs require new electroanalytical techniques with sensitive and rapid measurement abilities. This review discusses recent advances in the development of electrochemical sensors and bio-sensors for AMX analysis in complex matrices such as pharmaceuticals, biological fluids, environmental water and foodstuffs. The main electrochemical sensors used are based on chemically modified electrodes involving carbon materials and nanomaterials, nanoparticles, polymers and biological recognition molecules.
