[PMID: 37986417 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113502] [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: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
Viruses are major pathogens that cause food poisoning when ingested via contaminated food and water. Therefore, the development of foodborne virus detection technologies that can be applied throughout the food distribution chain is essential for food safety. A common nucleic acid-based detection method is polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which has become the gold standard for monitoring food contamination by viruses due to its high sensitivity, and availability of commercial kits. However, PCR-based methods are labor intensive and time consuming, and are vulnerable to inhibitors that may be present in food samples. In addition, the methods are restricted with regard to site of analysis due to the requirement of expensive and large equipment for sophisticated temperature regulation and signal analysis procedures. To overcome these limitations, optical and electrical readout biosensors based on nucleic acid isothermal amplification technology and nanomaterials have emerged as alternatives for nucleic acid-based detection of foodborne viruses. Biosensors are promising portable detection tools owing to their easy integration into compact platforms and ability to be operated on-site. However, the complexity of food components necessitates the inclusion of tedious preprocessing steps, and the lack of stability studies on residual food components further restricts the practical application of biosensors as a universal detection method. Here, we summarize the latest advances in nucleic acid-based strategies for the detection of foodborne viruses, including PCR-based and isothermal amplification-based methods, gene amplification-free methods, as well as food pretreatment methods. The principles, strengths/disadvantages, and performance of each method, problems to be solved, and future prospects for the development of a universal detection method are discussed.

Abstract
Waterborne viruses that can be harmful to human health pose significant challenges globally, affecting health care systems and the economy. Identifying these waterborne pathogens is essential for preventing diseases and protecting public health. However, handling complex samples such as human and wastewater can be challenging due to their dynamic and complex composition and the ultralow concentration of target analytes. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the latest breakthroughs in waterborne virus biosensors. It begins by highlighting several promising strategies that enhance the sensing performance of optical and electrochemical biosensors in human samples. These strategies include optimizing bioreceptor selection, transduction elements, signal amplification, and integrated sensing systems. Furthermore, the insights gained from biosensing waterborne viruses in human samples are applied to improve biosensing in wastewater, with a particular focus on sampling and sample pretreatment due to the dispersion characteristics of waterborne viruses in wastewater. This review suggests that implementing a comprehensive system that integrates the entire waterborne virus detection process with high-accuracy analysis could enhance virus monitoring. These findings provide valuable insights for improving the effectiveness of waterborne virus detection, which could have significant implications for public health and environmental management.

An achromatic colorimetric nanosensor for sensitive multiple pathogen detection by coupling plasmonic nanoparticles with magnetic separation. Talanta 2023; 256:124271. [PMID: 36681038 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Rapid screening of multiple pathogens will greatly improve the efficiency of pandemic prevention and control. Colorimetric methods exhibit the advantages of convenience, portability, low cost, time efficiency, and free of sophisticated instruments, yet usually have difficulties in simultaneous detection and suffer from monotonous color changes with low visual resolution and sensitivity. Hence, coupled three kinds of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) with magnetic separation, we developed an achromatic colorimetric nanosensor with highly enhanced visual resolution for simultaneous detection of SARS-CoV-2, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella typhimurium. The achromatic nanosensor was composed of SARS-CoV-2-targeting red gold NPs, S. aureus-targeting yellow silver NPs and S. typhimurium-targeting blue silver triangle NPs mixed as black color. In the detection, three corresponding magnetic probes were added into the above mixture. In the presence of a target pathogen, it would be recognized and combined with corresponding colored reporters and magnetic probes to form sandwich complexes, which were removed by magnetic separation, and the sensor changed from black to a chromatic color (the color of the reporters remained in supernatant). Consequently, different target pathogen induced different color. For example, SARS-CoV-2, S. aureus, and S. typhimurium respectively produced green, purple, and orange. While coexistence of S. aureus and S. typhimurium produced red, and coexistence of S. aureus and SARS-CoV-2 produced blue, etc. Therefore, by observing the color change or measuring the absorption spectra, multiple pathogen detection was achieved conveniently. Compared with most colorimetric sensors, this achromatic nanosensor involved rich color change, thus significantly enhancing visual resolution and inspection sensitivity. Therefore, this sensor opened a promising avenue for efficient monitoring and early warning of food safety and quality.

Abstract
Noroviruses are the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis and food-borne diseases worldwide. Thus, a rapid, accurate, and easy-to-implement detection method for controlling infection and monitoring progression is urgently needed. In this study, we constructed a novel sandwich-type electrochemical biosensor integrated with two specific recognition elements (aptamer and peptide) for human norovirus (HuNoV). The electrochemical biosensor was fabricated using magnetic covalent organic framework/pillararene heterosupramolecular nanocomposites (MB@Apt@WP5A@Au@COF@Fe3O4) as the signal probes. The sensor showed high accuracy and selectivity. The detection method does not need the extraction and amplification of virus nucleic acid and has a short turn-around time. Intriguingly, the proposed biosensor had a limit of detection of 0.84 copy mL-1 for HuNoV, which was the highest sensitivity among published assays. The proposed biosensor showed higher sensitivity and accuracy compared with immunochromatographic assay in the detection of 98 clinical specimens. The biosensor was capable of determining the predominant infection strain of GII.4 and also GII.3 and achieved 74% selectivity for HuNoV GII group. This study provides a potential method for point-of-care testing and highlights the integrated utilization of Apt and peptide in sensor construction.

Abstract
Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are nanocrystals of a semiconductor material that exist in a size regime less than 10 nm. QDs have become promising nanoparticles for a wide variety of different applications. However, the major drawback of QDs is their potential toxicity. This review reports on some recent methods for the synthesis of QDs and explores their properties, structures, applications, and toxicity. QDs are extraordinary because their minute size produces a physically confined electron cloud, an effect known as the quantum confinement. Certainly, because of their special properties as they had a great unique optical, electronic, and chemical properties that were not observe in other materials. These unique properties of the QD are an attractive material for a variety of scientific and commercial applications, most of them recently been realized, such as biosensors, bioimaging, photodetectors, displays, solar cells, wastewater treatment, and quantum computers. Finally, but not the end, an interesting potential QD application in future perspectives will expect as light-emitting diode products, biomedical applications, and Li-Fi.

Abstract
Human norovirus (HuNoV) is a food-borne pathogen that causes acute gastroenteritis in people of all ages worldwide. However, no approved vaccines and antiviral drugs are available at present. Therefore, the development of accurate and rapid detection technologies is important in controlling the outbreak of HuNoVs. This paper reviewed the research progress on HuNoV detection, including immunological methods, molecular detection and biosensor technology. Immunological methods and molecular detection technologies are still widely used for HuNoV detection. Furthermore, biosensors will become an emerging developmental direction for the rapid detection of HuNoVs because of their high sensitivity, low cost, easy operation and suitability for onsite detection.

Abstract
Here, the gold-silver nanocluster supramolecular network (AuAg NCs) is synthesized by the assembly of Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) and Ag NCs via host-guest complexation between 6-aza-2-thiothymine as the stabilizer of Au NCs and L-arginine as the stabilizer of Ag NCs in solution, whose electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission is not only exceptionally stronger than that of discrete monometallic NCs, but also more significant than that of agminated monometallic NCs. The dramatically enhanced ECL emission of self-assembled AuAg NCs originates from the synergistic effect of aggregation-induced enhancement and silver effect in gold catalysis. As a proof of concept, the self-assembled AuAg NCs is successfully applied in the ultrasensitive detection of breast cancer biomarker microRNAs-21 (miR-21), which guides a new pathway for creating high-quality nano-optical elements in chemical sensors, biological imaging, and lightemitting devices.

Abstract
Biosensors are measurement devices that can sense several biomolecules, and are widely used for the detection of relevant clinical pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, showing outstanding results. Because of the latent existing risk of facing another pandemic like the one we are living through due to COVID-19, researchers are constantly looking forward to developing new technologies for diagnosis and treatment of infections caused by different bacteria and viruses. Regarding that, nanotechnology has improved biosensors' design and performance through the development of materials and nanoparticles that enhance their affinity, selectivity, and efficacy in detecting these pathogens, such as employing nanoparticles, graphene quantum dots, and electrospun nanofibers. Therefore, this work aims to present a comprehensive review that exposes how biosensors work in terms of bacterial and viral detection, and the nanotechnological features that are contributing to achieving a faster yet still efficient COVID-19 diagnosis at the point-of-care.

Abstract
In this report, we have examined the distance- and size-dependent localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) between fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) and adjacent gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to provide a comprehensive evaluation, aiming for practical application in biosensing platform. A series of peptides with different chain lengths, connected between QDs and AuNPs is initially applied to prepare various CdSe QDs-peptide-AuNP systems to optimize LSPR signal. Separation distance between two nanoparticles of these systems before and after conjugation is also confirmed by quantum mechanical modeling and corroborated with their LSPR influenced fluorescence variations. After detailed optimizations, it can be noted that larger sized AuNPs make strong quenching of QDs, which gradually shows enhancement of fluorescence with the increment of distance and the smaller sized AuNPs. Depending on the requirement, it is possible to tune the optimized structure of the CdSe QD-peptide-AuNP nanostructures for the application. In this work, two different structural designs with different peptide chain length are chosen to construct two biosensor systems, observing their fluorescence enhancement and quenching effects, respectively. Using different structural orientation of these biosensors, two nanoconjugates has applied for detection of norovirus and influenza virus, respectively to confirm their application in sensing.

Abstract
As the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, human noroviruses (HuNoVs) have caused around 685 million cases of infection and nearly $60 billion in losses every year. Despite their highly contagious nature, an effective vaccine for HuNoVs has yet to become commercially available. Therefore, rapid detection and subtyping of noroviruses is crucial for preventing viral spread. Over the past half century, there has been monumental progress in the development of techniques for the detection and analysis of noroviruses. However, currently no rapid, portable assays are available to detect and subtype infectious HuNoVs. The purpose of this review is to survey and present different analytical techniques for the detection and characterization of noroviruses.

Abstract
In this study, a tunable biosensor using the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), controlling the distance between fluorescent CdZnSeS/ZnSeS quantum dots (QDs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been developed for the detection of virus. The distance between the AuNPs and QDs has been controlled by a linkage with a peptide chain of 18 amino acids. In the optimized condition, the fluorescent properties of the QDs have been enhanced due to the surface plasmon effect of the adjacent AuNPs. Successive virus binding on the peptide chain induces steric hindrance on the LSPR behavior and the fluorescence of QDs has been quenched. After analyzing all the possible aspect of the CdZnSeS/ZnSeS QD-peptide-AuNP nanocomposites, we have detected different concentration of influenza virus in a linear range of 10-14 to 10-9 g mL-1 with detection limit of 17.02 fg mL-1. On the basis of the obtained results, this proposed biosensor can be a good alternative for the detection of infectious viruses in the various range of sensing application.

Abstract
The dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome has become a severe human fatal disease caused by infection with one of the four closely related but serologically distinct dengue viruses (DENVs). All four dengue serotypes are currently co-circulating throughout the subtropics and tropics. Since the fatality rate increases severely when a secondary infection occurs by a virus serotype different from that of the initial infection, serotype identification is equally important as virus detection. In this study, the development and validation of a rapid and quantitative DENV serotype-specific (serotypes 1-4) biosensor are reported by optimizing the stable system between cadmium selenide tellurium sulphide fluorescent quantum dots (CdSeTeS QDs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Four different nanoprobes are designed using each primer-probe serotype-specific hairpin single-stranded DNA covalently bound at different positions to CdSeTeS QDs, which generates an altered fluorescence signal for each serotype of DENV. In fourplex reactions with free functionalized AuNPs and the four nanoprobes, the standard dilutions of the target virus DNA from 10-15 to 10-10 M were successfully detected. The limit of detection was found to be in the femtomolar range for all four serotypes, where the serotype detection ability was undoubtedly established. To confirm the applicability of this sensing performance in long chained complex RNAs, the sensor was also applied successfully to RNAs extracted from DENV culture fluids for serotype identification as well as quantification, which can lead to a potential diagnostic probe for point-of-care detection.

Abstract
A luminescent microRNA nanoprobe based on the target-triggered Ir(III)-solvent complex release has been fabricated. The complex is initially embedded into mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), and then is capped by single-stranded (ss) DNA. In the presence of the target microRNA, the ssDNA hybridize with the microRNA forming a rigid DNA/RNA heteroduplexes and leaving the surface of MSN. Thus, the capped Ir(III) solvent complex is released and re-coordinated with histidine (His) to form a new luminescent complex. The luminescence intensity of the nascent complex (with excitation/emission maxima at 340/570 nm) is positively correlated with the concentrations of the target microRNA in the range from 0.05 to 2 nM, and the detection limit of microRNA is estimated as 0.2 pM (S/N = 3). The ability of this nanoprobe to detect microRNA in cell extract further demonstrates its potential in practical application.

Abstract
Development of fluorescence enhancement (FE) platforms based on ZnO nanorods (NRs) has sparked considerable interest, thanks to their well-demonstrated potential in chemical and biological detection. Among the multiple factors determining the FE performance, high-order waveguide modes are specifically promising in boosting the sensitivity and realizing selective detection. However, quantitative experimental studies on the influence of the NR diameter, substrate, and surrounding medium, on the waveguide-based FE properties remain lacking. In this work, we have designed and fabricated a FE platform based on patterned and well-defined arrays of vertical, hexagonal prism ZnO NRs with six distinct diameters. Both direct experimental evidence and theoretical simulations demonstrate that high-order waveguide modes play a crucial role in FE, and are strongly dependent on the NR diameter, substrate, and surrounding medium. Using the optimized FE platform, a significant limit of detection (LOD) of 10-16 mol L-1 for Rhodamine-6G probe detection is achieved. Especially, a LOD as low as 10-14 g mL-1 is demonstrated for a prototype biomarker of carcinoembryonic antigen, which is improved by one order compared with the best LOD ever reported using fluorescence-based detection. This work provides an efficient path to design waveguiding NRs-based biochips for ultrasensitive and highly-selective biosensing.

Abstract
Reports of norovirus infections associated with the consumption of contaminated bivalve molluscan shellfish negatively impact both consumers and commercial shellfish operators. Current virus recovery and PCR detection methods can be expensive and time consuming. Due to the lack of rapid, user-friendly and onsite/infield methods, it has been difficult to establish an effective virus monitoring regime that is able to identify contamination points across the production line (i.e., farm-to-plate) to ensure shellfish quality. The focus of this review is to evaluate current norovirus detection methods and discuss emerging approaches. Recent advances in omics-based detection approaches have the potential to identify novel biomarkers that can be incorporated into rapid detection kits for onsite use. Furthermore, some omics techniques have the potential to simultaneously detect multiple enteric viruses that cause human disease. Other emerging technologies discussed include microfluidic, aptamer and biosensor-based detection methods developed to detect norovirus with high sensitivity from a simple matrix. Many of these approaches have the potential to be developed as user-friendly onsite detection kits with minimal costs. However, more collaborative efforts on research and development will be required to commercialize such products. Once developed, these emerging technologies could provide a way forward that minimizes public health risks associated with shellfish consumption.

Abstract
Direct observation of nanoparticles with high spatial resolution at subcellular levels is of great importance to understand the nanotoxicology and promote the biomedical applications of nanoparticles. Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy can break the diffraction resolution limit to achieve spatial resolution of tens of nanometers, making it ideal for highly accurate observation of nanoparticles in the cellular world. In this study, we introduced the employment of super-resolution fluorescence imaging for monitoring nanoparticles within cells. Carbocyanine dyes Alexa Flour 647 labeled mesoporous silica nanoparticles (designated as MSNs-AF647) were constructed as the super-resolution imaging nanoplatform in this work as proof of concept. The MSNs-AF647 were incubated with Hela cells, and the nanoparticles within cells were further monitored by super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. The fluorescence images of MSNs-AF647 within cells captured with the super-resolution fluorescence microscopy showed a much higher spatial resolution than that obtained using conventional fluorescence microscopy, showing that super-resolution fluorescence images can provide more accurate information to locate the nanoparticles at the subcellular levels. Moreover, other functional molecules can be easily loaded into the MSNs-AF647 super-resolution imaging nanoplatform, which suggested that super-resolution fluorescence imaging can further be applied to various bioimaging-related areas, such as imaging-guided therapy, with the aid of the MSNs-AF647 nanoplatform. This study demonstrates that super-resolution fluorescence microscopy offers a highly accurate method to study nanoparticles in the cellular world. We anticipate this strategy may further be applied to research areas such as studying the nanotoxicology and optimization of nanoparticle-based bioprobes or drugs by designing new nanostructured materials with multifunctional properties based on MSNs-AF647.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus is a causative agent of one of the most important disease which causes frequent tragic disaster in the poultry industry all over the world. Therefore, in the present study a new fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based technique was developed to detect VP2 gene of infectious bursal disease virus using two oligonucleotide probes labeled with quantum dots and rhodamine- immobilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-Rh). Quantum dots labeled with an amino-modified first oligonucleotide, and AuNPs-Rh labeled with thiol-modified second oligonucleotides were added to the DNA targets upon which hybridization occurred. In the presence of target the AuNPs-Rh will be located in the vicinity of the quantum dots and leads to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer to be occurred and subsequently the fluorescence intensity of quantum dots was stimulated. The immobilization of rhodamine to the surface of AuNPs increased the fluorescence intensity of rhodamine. The maximum fluorescence resonance energy transfer efficiency for the developed sensor is monitored at a quantum dots-PA/AuNPs-Rh-PT molar ratio of 1:10. Moreover, the feasibility of the developed nanobiosensor was demonstrated by the detection of a synthetic 49-mer nucleotide derived from infectious bursal disease virus and the limit of detection was estimated as 3 × 10-8 M. The developed DNA detection scheme is a simple, rapid and efficient technique which does not need excessive washing and separation steps.

Abstract
An urgent need for early detection and diagnosis of diseases continuously pushes the advancements of imaging modalities and contrast agents. Current challenges remain for fast and detailed imaging of tissue microstructures and lesion characterization that could be achieved via development of nontoxic contrast agents with longer circulation time. Nanoparticle technology offers this possibility. Here, we review nanoparticle-based contrast agents employed in most common biomedical imaging modalities, including fluorescence imaging, MRI, CT, US, PET and SPECT, addressing their structure related features, advantages and limitations. Furthermore, their applications in each imaging modality are also reviewed using commonly studied examples. Future research will investigate multifunctional nanoplatforms to address safety, efficacy and theranostic capabilities. Nanoparticles as imaging contrast agents have promise to greatly benefit clinical practice.

Abstract
Most carbon dots (CDs) conventional fabrication approaches produce single colored fluorescent materials, different methods are required to synthesize distinct carbon dots for specific optical applications. Herein, using one-pot hydrothermal treatment of Syringa obtata Lindl, a facile, low-cost and green assay is achieved in the controllable synthesis of blue and green fluorescent carbon dots. The fluorescent emission of CDs can be well-tuned by adding sodium hydroxide in the precursor solution. Blue fluorescent CDs are applied to Fe3+ sensing with a low detection limit of 0.11 μM of linear range from 0.5 to 80 μM, and then further extended to analysis river water samples. Green fluorescent CDs can be applied to pH detection, which show a remarkable linear enhancement in the green fluorescence emission region when the pH is increased from 1.98 to 8.95. Eventually, the detection of Fe3+ and pH are applied for the living cells fluorescent images in MCF-7 cells are achieved successfully, indicating as-synthesized CDs potential toward diverse application as promising candidate.

[PMID: 29786673 PMCID: PMC5977366 DOI: 10.3390/nano8050352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2018] [Revised: 05/02/2018] [Accepted: 05/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Flexible 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-oxidized nanofibrillated cellulose (ONFC) films with long afterglow luminescence containing modified SrAl₂O₄: Eu2+, Dy3+ (SAOED) phosphors were fabricated by a template method. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxy-silane (APTMS) were employed cooperatively to improve the water resistance and compatibility of the SAOED particles in the ONFC suspension. The structure and morphology after modification evidenced the formation of a superior SiO₂ layer and coarse amino-compounds on the surface of the phosphors. Homogeneous dispersions containing ONFC and the modified phosphors were prepared and the interface of composite films containing the amino-modified particles showed a more closely packed structure and had less voids at the interface between the cellulose and luminescent particles than that of silica-modified phosphors. The emission spectra for luminescent films showed a slight blue shift (3.2 nm) at around 512 nm. Such flexible films with good luminescence, thermal resistance, and mechanical properties can find applications in fields like luminous flexible equipment, night indication, and portable logo or labels.

Abstract
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), widely used for the detection of plant viruses, are not easily performed, resulting in a demand for an innovative and more efficient diagnostic method. This paper summarizes the characteristics and research trends of biosensors focusing on the physicochemical properties of both interface elements and bioconjugates. In particular, the topological and photophysical properties of quantum dots (QDs) are discussed, along with QD-based biosensors and their practical applications. The QD-based Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) genosensor, most widely used in the biomolecule detection fields, and QD-based nanosensor for Rev-RRE interaction assay are presented as examples. In recent years, QD-based biosensors have emerged as a new class of sensor and are expected to open opportunities in plant virus detection, but as yet there have been very few practical applications (Table 3). In this article, the details of those cases and their significance for the future of plant virus detection will be discussed.

J Sep Sci 2018; 41:1880-1887. [PMID: 29389060 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.201701142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2017] [Revised: 12/23/2017] [Accepted: 12/23/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
An imprinted fluorescent sensor was fabricated based on SiO2 nanoparticles encapsulated with a molecularly imprinted polymer containing allyl fluorescein. High fluorine cypermethirin as template molecules, methyl methacrylate as functional monomer, and allyl fluorescein as optical materials synthesized a core-shell fluorescent molecular imprinted sensor, which showed a high and rapid sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of τ-fluvalinate. The sensor presented appreciable sensitivity with a limit of 13.251 nM, rapid detection that reached to equilibrium within 3 min, great linear relationship in the relevant concentration range from 0 to 150 nM, and excellent selectivity over structural analogues. In addition, the fluorescent sensor demonstrated desirable regeneration ability (eight cycling operations). The molecularly imprinted polymers ensured specificity, while the fluorescent dyes provided the stabile sensitivity. Finally, an effective application of the sensor was implemented by the detection of τ-fluvalinate in real samples from vodka. The molecularly imprinted fluorescent sensor showed a promising potential in environmental monitoring and food safety.

Abstract
The enhancement of biosensing sensitivity based on a quantum dot (QD) is limited by the long distance between the QD and the substrate in in vitro detection, which prevents the development of biosensors. Here an individual sharp convex gold groove is proposed to enhance remote fluorescence by exciting and collecting fluorescence efficiently. The structure shows a higher emission power than other wider gold groove structures when the QD is individually placed at five random positions inside the groove. Compared with bare glass, the total power enhancement factor of our structure is up to 17.0 times, 6.6 times and 6.4 times when the QD is 3.5 μm, 7.6 μm and 9.0 μm away from the bottom of the groove, respectively, due to the scattered emission of the QD and guided resonance modes inside the groove. In addition, the structure is easy to fabricate. The individual sharp convex gold groove is expected to be used as one unit of multi-channels in micro/nano fluidic biosensing. The sample volume could be very small or large according to real applications due to the particular geometric features of our structure.

Abstract
Outbreaks of foodborne diseases related to fresh produce have been increasing in North America and Europe. Viral foodborne pathogens are poorly understood, suffering from insufficient awareness and surveillance due to the limits on knowledge, availability, and costs of related technologies and devices. Current foodborne viruses are emphasized and newly emerging foodborne viruses are beginning to attract interest. To face current challenges regarding foodborne pathogens, a point-of-care (POC) concept has been introduced to food testing technology and device. POC device development involves technologies such as microfluidics, nanomaterials, biosensors and other advanced techniques. These advanced technologies, together with the challenges in developing foodborne virus detection assays and devices, are described and analysed in this critical review. Advanced technologies provide a path forward for foodborne virus detection, but more research and development will be needed to provide the level of manufacturing capacity required.

Abstract
Carbon dots are admirable fluorescent nanomaterials due to their low cost, high photostability, excellent biocompatibility, and environmental friendliness. Most conventional carbon dot fabrication approaches produce single-colored fluorescent material in the preparation process; different methods are therefore required to synthesize distinct carbon dots for specific optical applications. In this study, carbon dots carrying different emission colors are prepared through a one-step refluxing process. The emission of these materials can be well-tuned by sodium hydroxide content in the precursor solution. The carbon dots produced are used as sensing probes based on the spectrofluorometric inner filter effect for target molecule detection. Three sensing categories that combine carbon dots and inner filter effect are demonstrated, including direct, metal nanoparticle-assisted, and enzymatic reaction-supported detection. Caffeine, melamine, and fenitrothion are selected as targets to demonstrate the strategies, respectively. These multifunctional carbon dot-based sensors achieve comparable sensitivity toward analytes with a much more convenient preparation route.

Abstract
The utilization of molecular beacon (MB) biosensor probes to detect nucleic acid targets has received enormous interest within the scientific community. This interest has been stimulated by the operational qualities of MB-based probes with respect to their unique sensitivity and specificity. The design of MB biosensors entails not only optimizing the sequence of the loop to hybridize with the nucleic acid target or optimization of the length of the stem to tune the sensitivity but also the selection of the appropriate fluorophore reporter to generate the signal transduction read-out upon hybridization of the probe with the target sequence. Traditional organic fluorescent dyes are mostly used for signal reporting in MB assays but their optical properties in comparison to semiconductor fluorescent quantum dot (Qdot) nanocrystals are at a disadvantage. This review highlights the progress made in exploiting Qdot as fluorophore reporters in MB-based assays with the aim of instigating further development in the field of Qdot-MB technology. The development reported to date indicates that unparalleled fluorescence signal reporting in MB-based assays can be achieved using well-constructed Qdot fluorophores.

Abstract
In biosensor design, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-induced signal from gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-conjugated reporter can produce highly sensitive nanohybrid systems. In order to retain the physicochemical properties of AuNPs upon conjugation, high colloidal stability in aqueous solution is needed. In this work, the colloidal stability with respect to the zeta potential (ZP) of four negatively charged thiol-functionalized AuNPs, thioglycolic (TGA)-AuNPs, 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA)-AuNPs, L-cysteine-AuNPs and L-glutathione (GSH)-AuNPs, and a cationic cyteamine-capped AuNPs was studied at various pHs, ionic strength, and NP concentration. A strong dependence of the ZP charge on the nanoparticle (NP) concentration was observed. High colloidal stability was exhibited between pH 3 and 9 for the negatively charged AuNPs and between pH 3 and 7 for the cationic AuNPs. With respect to the ionic strength, high colloidal stability was exhibited at ≤104 μM for TGA-AuNPs, L-cysteine-AuNPs, and GSH-AuNPs, whereas ≤103 μM is recommended for MPA-AuNPs. For the cationic AuNPs, very low ionic strength of ≤10 μM is recommended due to deprotonation at higher concentration. GSH-AuNPs were thereafter bonded to SiO2-functionalized alloyed CdZnSeS/ZnSe1.0S1.3 quantum dots (SiO2-Qdots) to form a plasmon-enhanced AuNP-SiO2-Qdots fluorescent nanohybrid. The AuNP-SiO2-Qdots conjugate was afterward conjugated to a molecular beacon (MB), thus forming an ultrasensitive LSPR-induced SiO2-Qdots-MB biosensor probe that detected a perfect nucleotide DNA sequence at a concentration as low as 10 fg/mL. The limit of detection was ~11 fg/mL (1.4 fM) while the biosensor probe efficiently distinguished between single-base mismatch and noncomplementary sequence target.
