[PMID: 39196429 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06640-6] [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: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024]
Abstract
A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for the detection of microcystic toxins (MC-LR) was developed on the basis of signal-sensitive change strategy. NiO nanoarray as a basic photoactive material was grown directly on the ITO glass electrode via calcination after hydrothermal reaction, while dye N719 was used to sensitize the electrode for enhancing visible light absorption, and the first signal-on stage was obtained. In the meantime, p-type Cu2O was applied as the signal probe attached to probe DNA (DNA2) to improve the sensitivity, and the second "signal-on" stage appeared because of its synergistic effect with NiO nanoarrays. The PEC signal decreases after the target analyte MC-LR is modified on the electrode due to the stronger affinity between MC-LR and its complementary aptamer DNA; part of the Cu2O-DNA2 will dissociate from the electrode. This sensitive signal change strategy allows the detection limit of the MC-LR sensor to be as low as 1.7 pM, which offers an optional method for the sensitive and selective detection of other target molecules, with potential applications in environmental monitoring and toxin determination.

[PMID: 38553128 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342475] [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: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Quinolones (QNs) widely exist in the environment due to their wide range of applications and poor metabolic properties, resulting in the generation and spread of resistance genes, posing a potential threat to human health. Traditional analytical methods cannot detect all broad ranges of QNs simultaneously. The development of facile, efficient and reliable method for quantification and assessment of the total QNs is a long-lasting challenge. RESULTS We hereby provide a simple, sensitive and instantaneous group-targeting biosensor for the detection of total QNs in environmental water samples. The biosensor is based on a group-specific antibodies with high affinity against QNs. Fluorescent labeled antibodies bound to the coated antigen modified on the surface of the transducer, and excited by the evanescent waves. The detected fluorescent signal is inversely proportional to the QNs concentration. This biosensor exhibited excellent performance with detection limits lower than 0.15 μg L-1 for all five QNs variants, and even lower than 0.075 μg L-1 for ciprofloxacin (CIP) and ofloxacin (OFL). Environmental water samples can be detected after simple pretreatment, and all detection steps can be completed in 10 min. The transducer has a high regenerative capacity and shows no significant signal degradation after two hundred detection cycles. The recoveries of QNs in a variety of wastewater range from 105 to 119%, confirming its application potential in the measurement of total QNs in reality. SIGNIFICANCE The biosensor can realize rapid and sensitive detection of total QNs in water samples by simple pretreatment, which overcomes the disadvantage of the traditional methods that require complex pretreatment and time-consuming, and pave the groundwork for expansive development centered around this technology.

Abstract
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), as a hepatotoxin, can cause liver swelling, hepatitis, and even liver cancer. In this study, MC-LR aptamer (Apt-3) modified graphene oxide (GO) was designed to enrich MC-LR in white jade snail (Achatina fulica) and pond water, followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analysis. Results indicated that the Apt-3/PEG/GO nanocomposites were highly specific to MC-LR, and the detection limit of MALDI-MS was 0.50 ng/mL. Moreover, the MC-LR can be released from nanocomposites at 75°C, thus, the reuse of Apt-3/PEG/GO is realized. Real sample analysis indicated that the Apt-3/PEG/GO nanocomposites coupled with MALDI-MS were efficient in detecting trace amounts of MC-LR in real samples. With the merits of being low cost, reusable, and easy to besynthesized, this Apt-3/PEG/GO MALDI-MS is expected to be comprehensively applied by anchoring suitable aptamers for different targets.

Abstract
An integrated strategy for the rapid and sensitive detection of deoxynivalenol in cereals was developed by combining Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticle-modified metal organic framework-5-based magnetic solid-phase extraction and the optical fiber-based homogeneous chemiluminescence immunosensor. The hybrid magnetic material was prepared and characterized, exhibiting good enrichment capacity up to 1.68 mg/g. The competitive immunoassay-based homogeneous chemiluminescence immunosensor enabled washing-free and high-sensitivity detection of deoxynivalenol. Under optimized conditions, this immunosensor could detect deoxynivalenol as low as 46.7 pg/mL with a quantitatively linear range of 0.1 to 1000 ng/mL. The recoveries of this integrated detection strategy in rice, corn, and wheat ranged from 80.0 % to 118.2 %, 91.1 % to 116.7 %, and 80.0 % to 91.5 %, respectively, with a relative standard deviation that did not exceed 9.11 %. More importantly, it shows great consistency with the high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in blind sample analysis. This integrated detection strategy provides a convenient approach for mycotoxins screening in cereals.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes significant mortality and remains the leading cause of death globally. Thus, to reduce mortality, early diagnosis by measurement of cardiac biomarkers and heartbeat signals presents fundamental importance. Traditional CVD examination requires bulky hospital instruments to conduct electrocardiography recording and immunoassay analysis, which are both time-consuming and inconvenient. Recently, development of biosensing technologies for rapid CVD marker screening attracted great attention. Thanks to the advancement in nanotechnology and bioelectronics, novel biosensor platforms are developed to achieve rapid detection, accurate quantification, and continuous monitoring throughout disease progression. A variety of sensing methodologies using chemical, electrochemical, optical, and electromechanical means are explored. This review first discusses the prevalence and common categories of CVD. Then, heartbeat signals and cardiac blood-based biomarkers that are widely employed in clinic, as well as their utilizations for disease prognosis, are summarized. Emerging CVD wearable and implantable biosensors and monitoring bioelectronics, allowing these cardiac markers to be continuously measured are introduced. Finally, comparisons of the pros and cons of these biosensing devices along with perspectives on future CVD biosensor research are presented.

A review of Optical Point-of-Care devices to Estimate the Technology Transfer of These Cutting-Edge Technologies. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12121091. [PMID: 36551058 PMCID: PMC9776401 DOI: 10.3390/bios12121091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Despite the remarkable development related to Point-of-Care devices based on optical technology, their difficulties when used outside of research laboratories are notable. In this sense, it would be interesting to ask ourselves what the degree of transferability of the research work to the market is, for example, by analysing the relation between the scientific work developed and the registered one, through patent. In this work, we provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in the sector of optical Point-of-Care devices, not only in the research area but also regarding their transfer to market. To this end, we explored a methodology for searching articles and patents to obtain an indicator that relates to both. This figure of merit to estimate this transfer is based on classifying the relevant research articles in the area and the patents that have been generated from these ones. To delimit the scope of this study, we researched the results of a large enough number of publications in the period from 2015 to 2020, by using keywords "biosensor", "optic", and "device" to obtain the most representative articles from Web of Science and Scopus. Then, we classified them according to a particular classification of the optical PoC devices. Once we had this sampling frame, we defined a patent search strategy to cross-link the article with a registered patent (by surfing Google Patents) and classified them accordingly to the categories described. Finally, we proposed a relative figure called Index of Technology Transference (IoTT), which estimates to what extent our findings in science materialized in published articles are protected by patent.

A compact evanescent wave detection platform (EWDP) is developed for the detection of fluorescence gold nanoclusters. The EWDP employs a simple optical system and a Si-based photodetector SOP-1000 assembly to improve the optical efficiency and detection sensitivity. A microfluidic sample cell is also used to decrease the amount of analyte to 200 μL (The volume of sample cell is really about 30 μL). On this basis, we design a strategy for detecting dopamine (DA) based on the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) quenching mechanism. By introduction of tyrosinase (TYR) during the detection, the testing time is shortened to 1 min. The fluorescence emission signal decreased dramatically and the quenching ratio (F0-F)/F0 is linearly related to the concentration of DA in the range of 0.03-60 μM with a detection limit of 0.03 μM. Additionally, this detection platform has potential applications for DA fast detection in the microsamples.

Abstract
Cyanotoxins have gained global public interest due to their potential to bioaccumulate in food, which threatens human health. Bloom formation is usually enhanced under Mediterranean, subtropical and tropical climates which are the dominant climate types in developing countries. In this context, we present an up-to-date overview of cyanotoxins (types, toxic effects, analysis, occurrence, and mitigation) with a special focus on their contamination in (sea)food from all the developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America as this has received less attention. A total of 65 publications have been found (from 2000 until October 2021) reporting the contamination by one or more cyanotoxins in seafood and edible plants (five papers). Only Brazil and China conducted more research on cyanotoxin contamination in food in comparison to other countries. The majority of research focused on the detection of microcystins using different analytical methods. The detected levels mostly surpassed the provisional tolerable daily intake limit set by the World Health Organization, indicating a real risk to the exposed population. Assessment of cyanotoxin contamination in foods from developing countries still requires further investigations by conducting more survey studies, especially the simultaneous detection of multiple categories of cyanotoxins in food.

Abstract
The evolution of optical fiber technology has revolutionized a variety of fields, from optical transmission to environmental monitoring and biomedicine, given their unique properties and versatility. For biosensing purposes, the light guided in the fiber core is exposed to the surrounding media where the analytes of interest are detected by different techniques, according to the optical fiber configuration and biofunctionalization strategy employed. These configurations differ in manufacturing complexity, cost and overall performance. The biofunctionalization strategies can be carried out directly on bare fibers or on coated fibers. The former relies on interactions between the evanescent wave (EW) of the fiber and the analyte of interest, whereas the latter can comprise plasmonic methods such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized SPR (LSPR), both originating from the interaction between light and metal surface electrons. This review presents the basics of optical fiber immunosensors for a broad audience as well as the more recent research trends on the topic. Several optical fiber configurations used for biosensing applications are highlighted, namely uncladded, U-shape, D-shape, tapered, end-face reflected, fiber gratings and special optical fibers, alongside practical application examples. Furthermore, EW, SPR, LSPR and biofunctionalization strategies, as well as the most recent advances and applications of immunosensors, are also covered. Finally, the main challenges and an outlook over the future direction of the field is presented.

Abstract
A novel U-shaped fiber-optic evanescent-wave fluorescent immunosensor was designed that exploits light-sheet excitation of skew rays in a passive fiber for sensitive microcystin-LR (MC-LR) detection in real-time. In particular, a light sheet comprising a thin plane of light can be concentrated into exciting the optimum ray group, resulting in enhanced interaction between light and fluorophores. Meanwhile, skew rays excited by transmitting light into an optical fiber with an angle offset allow a much higher number of total-internal-reflections with increased interaction length along the fiber interface, which strengthens the light-matter interactions. Under the optimal angle offset, the proposed evanescent wave fluorescent immunosensor is the first demonstration of integrating light-sheet skew rays and a U-shaped fiber-optic probe for enhanced sensitivity. The results show that fluorescence sensitivity of the U-shaped fiber-optic probe with light-sheet skew rays excitation is 16 times higher than that of collimated skew rays excitation. Combined with this newly designed light-sheet skew rays enhanced U-shaped fiber-optic fluorescent immunosensor, a sensitive and real-time MC-LR detection method was established based on the indirect competitive immunoassay principle. Real environmental water samples spiked with MC-LR were determined by the immunosensor with recovery rates between 85% and 112%. The present system could be an alternative tool for the on-site environmental monitoring, in-field food safety assurance and clinical diagnostics. It also advances the fiber-optic sensors field in terms of experimental design.

Abstract
The Microcystin-Leucine-Arginine (MC-LR) is the most toxic and widely distributed microcystin, which originates from cyanobacteria produced by water eutrophication. The MC-LR has deleterious effects on the aquatic lives and agriculture, and this highly toxic chemical could severely endanger human health when the polluted food was intaken. Therefore, the monitoring of MC-LR is of vital importance in the fields including environment, food, and public health. Utilizing the complementary base pairing between DNA molecules, DNA nanotechnology can realize the programmable and predictable regulation of DNA molecules. In analytical applications, DNA nanotechnology can be used to detect targets via target-induced conformation change and the nano-assemblies of nucleic acids. Compared with the conventional analytical technologies, DNA nanotechnology has the advantages of sensitive, versatile, and high potential in real-time and on-site applications. According to the molecular basis for recognizing MC-LR, the strategies of applying DNA nanotechnology in the MC-LR monitoring are divided into two categories in this review: DNA as a recognition element and DNA-assisted signal processing. This paper introduces state-of-the-art analytical methods for the detection of MC-LR based on DNA nanotechnology and provides critical perspectives on the challenges and development in this field.

Abstract
A portable, cheap and sensitive paper type electrochemical immunosensor was developed with conductive nanobiochar paper as the conductive layer and utilized for sensitive detection of microcystin-LR (MCLR) toxin in water. The paper immunosensor was constructed by coating of highly conductive and dispersible nanobiochar particle (nBC) and anti-MCLR antibody on the filter paper via dipping-drying method. The presence of MCLR could be specifically quantified amperometrically by the nBC-paper immunosensor with the response time of less than 5 min, and the lowest detection limit of 17 pM (0.017 μg/L) was achieved. Moreover, the proposed immunosensor exhibited high selectivity, reproducibility and storage stability, and was also used for environmental water detection with satisfactory recovery. The successful fabrication of low cost and ubiquitous biochar based paper type electrochemical immunosensing system would have significant value for the development of highly cost-effective electrochemical device.

Abstract
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) produce microcystins (MCs) which are associated with animal and human hepatotoxicity. Over 270 variants of MC exist. MCs have been continually studied due of their toxic consequences. Monitoring water quality to assess the presence of MCs is of utmost importance although it is often difficult because CyanoHABs may generate multiple MC variants, and their low concentration in water. To effectively manage and control these toxins and prevent their health risks, sensitive, fast, and reliable methods capable of detecting MCs are required. This paper aims to review the three main analytical methods used to detect MCs ranging from biological (mouse bioassay), biochemical (protein phosphatase inhibition assay and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay), and chemical (high performance liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, high performance capillary electrophoresis, and gas chromatography), as well as the newly emerging biosensor methods. In addition, the current state of these methods regarding their novel development and usage, as well as merits and limitations are presented. Finally, this paper also provides recommendations and future research directions towards method application and improvement.

Abstract
Sensitive and reliable analytical methods for monitoring of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) are urgently necessary due to its great harm to human health and aquatic organisms. In this work, a novel Cu/Au/Pt trimetallic nanoparticles (Cu/Au/Pt TNs)-encapsulated DNA hydrogel was prepared for colorimetric detection of MC-LR. The Cu/Au/Pt TNs were captured and released with precise control by the target-responsive 3D DNA hydrogels, which combined dual advantages of the target responsive DNA hydrogel and Cu/Au/Pt TNs of enhanced peroxidase-like activity. The DNA hydrogel network was constructed by hybridizing MC-LR aptamer with two complementary DNA strands on linear polyacrylamide chains. As long as MC-LR presented, the aptamer competitively binds with the MC-LR, causing the hydrogel to dissolve and release the preloaded Cu/Au/Pt TNs which could catalyze the reaction between H2O2 and TMB to produce color changes. In view of this sensitive strategy, this Cu/Au/Pt TNs-encapsulated DNA hydrogel-based colorimetric biosensor can achieve quantitative determination of MC-LR. The results showed that as-proposed colorimetric biosensor could sensitively detect MC-LR with a linear range of 4.0-10000 ng L-1 and a detection limit of 3.0 ng L-1. This work proved that the sensor had great potential to be applied in MC-LR detection and also provided the opportunity to develop colorimetric biosensor for other targets using this target-responsive and signal-amplification strategy.

Portable devices for immunoassays are in high demand for point-of-care testing (POCT) of biomarkers. Here, we report a robust portable pencil-like immunosensor (PPS) platform for the determination of three inflammatory biomarkers including interleukin-6 (IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in human serum samples. The PPS platform is composed of a unique pencil-like optical-fiber-based sensor, a reagent strip consisting of a series of pencil-cap-like wells, and a battery-powered photon counting detector for recording chemiluminescence. The PPS probe moves from well to well with a plug-into/out approach and goes through the immunoassay steps. Each fiber probe in the PPS platform can be sequentially used in up to 10 assays by simply propelling the intact probe out of the pencil body. The PPS platform is well-integrated into a portable suitcase-like device (32 cm × 23 cm × 11 cm) and is only 3 kg in weight. The sensor has good repeatability and can maintain 90% response after 14 days of storage at room temperature, showing its ability for assays in the field. The good linear relationship and efficient dynamic range with a limit-of-detection (LOD) of 1.05 pg/mL for IL-6, 10.64 pg/mL for PCT, and 29.40 ng/mL for CRP are obtained. The assay results are compared with clinical methods, and the findings confirm the high accuracy and precision of the proposed method. The proposed PPS platform is versatile and operable with minimal instruments and technical skills and simplifies the process of immune analysis, thus has great prospects for POCT of biomarkers.

Abstract
A reusable fiber optic chemiluminescent aptasensor (FOCA) is reported for the rapid and sensitive on-site detection of 17β-estradiol (E2), an endocrine-disrupting compound frequently found in water samples. The E2-ovalbumin conjugate (E2-OVA) was covalently immobilized onto the optical fiber as a biorecognition element as well as a transducer. The affinity constant of the E2/aptamer complex was determined to be 1.35 × 106 M-1 using the FOCA. An indirect competitive assay was then developed for E2 detection. A certain concentration of HRP-E2 aptamers pre-reacted with samples containing E2 in various concentrations. Part of HRP-E2 aptamers specially bound to the sensor surface after introduction of the mixture. This catalyzed the chemiluminescece reaction of a chemiluminescent system composed of luminol and H2O2. A higher concentration of E2 led to less HRP-E2 aptamer bound to the biosensor surface, thus resulting in less chemiluminescence. Highly sensitive detection of E2 was achieved under optimal conditions, and the limit of detection is 48 ng ·L-1 (0.18 nM). The whole analytical process, including measurement and regeneration, can be performed in <15 min. The robustness of the biosensor allows its application to multiple assays with little activity loss. The selectivity, recovery, and accuracy of the sensor was demonstrated by evaluating its response to potentially interfering endocrine disruptors in spiked water samples. Graphical abstract Schematic diagram of the fiber optic chemiluminescent aptasensor system (A), detection mechanism of 17β-estradiol (B), and its application for detection of 17β-estradiol with rapidity and sensitivity (C and D).

An ultrasensitive electrochemical sensing method for detection of microcystin-LR based on infinity-shaped DNA structure using double aptamer and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. Biosens Bioelectron 2019; 144:111674. [PMID: 31518788 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2019.111674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2019] [Accepted: 09/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
This study develops a novel electrochemical sensing platform for microcystin-LR (MC-LR) detection. This aptasensor comprises the hybridization of double aptamer to its complementary strand (CS) on the surface of electrode and generation of an Infinity-shaped DNA structure in the absence of target by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT). The formation of Infinity-shaped construction leads to the development of an ultrasensitive aptasensor for MC-LR detection. In the presence of MC-LR, double aptamer is dissociated from its CS because of its high affinity for MC-LR and leaves the surface of electrode. Subsequently, no Infinity-shaped structure is formed following the introduction of TdT and a strong current signal is observed. The proposed method was employed for specific detection of MC-LR in the range from 60 pM to 1000 nM with a detection limit of 15 pM. The credibility of the approach was confirmed by detection of MC-LR in real samples like serum and tap water samples. This study provides a new aptasensor for detection of MC-LR as well as other toxin analysis.

Abstract
We describe herein a newly developed chemiluminescent optical fiber immunosensor (OFIS) with a tunable detection range for multiplexed analysis of veterinary drug residues with vastly different concentrations in milk samples. The optical fiber probe is used as a carrier of biorecognition element as well as a transducer, enabling a low-cost compact design, which makes this system suitable for cost-effective on-site detection of the target analytes. Importantly, the synergy between modulation of the length of the optical fiber sensing region and the number of fibers allows performing multiplexed immunoassays in an easily controllable manner over a tunable detection range from pg/mL to μg/mL analyte concentrations. By combining the optical fiber sensor with a nanocomplex signal amplification system, a highly sensitive chemiluminescent OFIS system is demonstrated for the multiplexed assaying of veterinary drug residues in milk samples with linear ranges of 10-(2 × 104) pg/mL for chloramphenicol, 0.5-500 ng/mL for sulfadiazine, and 0.1-300 μg/mL for neomycin. This controllable strategy, based on modulation of the fiber probe, provides a versatile platform for multiplexed quantitative detection of both low-abundance and high-abundance targets, which shows great potential for on-site testing in food safety.
