Abstract
Most food samples are detected positive for neonicotinoid insecticides, posing a severe threat to human health. Electrochemical sensors have been proven effective for monitoring the residues to guarantee food safety, but there needs to be more review to conclude the development status comprehensively. On the other hand, various modified materials were emphasized to improve the performance of electrochemical sensors in relevant reviews, rather than the reasons why they were selected. Therefore, this paper reviewed the electrochemical sensors of neonicotinoid insecticides according to bases and strategies. The fundamental basis is the molecular structure of neonicotinoid insecticides, which was disassembled into four functional groups: nitro group, saturated nitrogen ring system, aromatic heterocycle and chlorine substituent. Their relationships were established with strategies including direct sensing, enzyme sensors, aptasensors, immunosensors, and sample pretreatment, respectively. It is hoped to provide a reference for the effective design of electrochemical sensors for small molecule compounds.

Abstract
Neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs) are a new class of neurotoxic pesticides primarily used for pest control on fruits and vegetables, cereals, and other crops after organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs), carbamate pesticides (CBPs), and pyrethroid pesticides. However, chronic abuse and illegal use have led to the contamination of food and water sources as well as damage to ecological and environmental systems. Long-term exposure to NEOs may pose potential risks to animals (especially bees) and even human health. Consequently, it is necessary to develop effective, robust, and rapid methods for NEOs detection. Specific recognition-based chemical sensing has been regarded as one of the most promising detection tools for NEOs due to their excellent selectivity, sensitivity, and robust interference resistance. In this review, we introduce the novel recognition strategies-enabled chemical sensing in food neonicotinoids detection in the past years (2017-2023). The properties and advantages of molecular imprinting recognition (MIR), host-guest recognition (HGR), electron-catalyzed recognition (ECR), immune recognition (IR), aptamer recognition (AR), and enzyme inhibition recognition (EIR) in the development of NEOs sensing platforms are discussed in detail. Recent applications of chemical sensing platforms in various food products, including fruits and vegetables, cereals, teas, honey, aquatic products, and others are highlighted. In addition, the future trends of applying chemical sensing with specific recognition strategies for NEOs analysis are discussed.

Abstract
Acetamiprid and pyridaben are highly efficient insecticides widely used to protect leafy vegetables against various pests, such as Phyllotreta striolata, but analyses of their residual behaviors applied in mixtures in cabbage fields are primarily lacking. Herein, field trials were performed by spraying 50% acetamiprid-pyridaben wettable powder (50% WP) once at a dose of 150 g of active ingredient per hectare in 12 representative provinces of China under Good Agricultural Practices. The residues of acetamiprid and pyridaben were detected using modified Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, together with an assessment of their dietary risks. The average recoveries of the two insecticides were 84.6-104%, and the relative standard deviations were 0.898-10.1%. The residual concentrations of acetamiprid and pyridaben at the preharvest interval of 7 days were <0.364 and 0.972 mg/kg, respectively, and less than their maximum residue limits in cabbage (0.5 mg/kg for acetamiprid and 2 mg/kg for pyridaben) in China. The chronic and acute risk values of acetamiprid and pyridaben were 0.0787-33.3%, implying acceptable health hazards to Chinese consumers. In conclusion, applying 50% WP in cabbage fields under Good Agricultural Practices is acceptable. These results provide essential data for using mixtures of acetamiprid and pyridaben in cabbage fields.

Abstract
Pesticides are applied widely to increase agricultural output and quality, however, this practice results in residual issues that not only harm the environment but also put people and animals' lives and health at risk. As a result, it is critical to find pesticide residues in a variety of sources, including crops, water supplies, and soil. Aptamers are more flexible in their synthesis and modification, have a high level of specificity, are inexpensive, and have good stability compared to conventional detection methods. They have therefore attracted a lot of interest in the industry. This study reviews the most recent aptasensor advancements in the detection of pesticide residues. Firstly, aptamers specifically binding to many pesticides are summarized. Secondly, the combination of aptasensors with colorimetric, fluorescent, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), resonance Light Scattering (RLS), chemiluminescence (CL), electrochemical, and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technologies are systematically introduced, and their advantages and disadvantages are expounded. Importantly, the aptasensors for the detection of various pesticides (organochlorine, organophosphorus, neonicotinoids, carbamates, and pyrethroids) that have been developed so far are systematically analyzed and discussed. Finally, the furture prospects and challenges of the aptasensors are highlighted. It is expected to offer suggestions for the later creation of novel, highly effective and sensitive aptasensors for the detection of pesticide residues.

Abstract
Due to its rich health benefits and unique cultural charm, tea drinking is increasingly popular with the public in modern society. The safety of tea is the top priority that affects the development of tea industry and the health of consumers. During the process of tea growth, pesticides are used to prevent the invasion of pests and diseases with maintaining high quality and stable yield. Because hot water brewing is the traditional way of tea consumption, water is the main carrier for pesticide residues in tea into human body accompanied by potential risks. In this review, pesticides used in tea gardens are divided into two categories according to their solubility, among which water-soluble pesticides pose a greater risk. We summarized the methods of the sample pretreatment and detection of pesticide residues and expounded the migration patterns and influencing factors of tea throughout the process of growth, processing, storage, and consumption. Moreover, the toxicity and safety of pesticide residues and diseases caused by human intake were analyzed. The risk assessment and traceability of pesticide residues in tea were carried out, and potential eco-friendly improvement strategies were proposed. The review is expected to provide a valuable reference for reducing risks of pesticide residues in tea and ensuring the safety of tea consumption.

Abstract
Pesticide testing is an important topic in environmental protection and food safety. The development of green, accurate and reliable pesticide residue detection methods is an important technical support for implementing of agricultural quality supervision. Electrochemical sensors are a very promising analytical method for pesticide detection due to their high sensitivity, speed, low cost and portability. Performance enhancement of electrochemical sensors is often accompanied by research advances in materials science. Among them, carbon material is a very important electrode material for the fabrication of electrochemical sensors. The discovery of graphene makes it the most promising candidate among carbon materials for sensor performance enhancement. The topic of this review is the use of graphene-modified electrochemical sensors for pesticide detection in the last decade. Traditional literature summaries and bibliometric analyses were used for an in-depth analysis of this topic. In addition to the introduction of different sensor types and performance comparisons, this review also parses the authors' country, keywords and publication frequency. The related research experienced rapid growth several years ago and has now reached a relatively stable stage. We also discuss the perspectives on this topic.

Abstract
A large fraction of population is suffering from waterborne diseases due to the contaminated drinking water. Both anthropogenic and natural sources are responsible for water contamination. Revolution in industrial and agriculture sectors along with a huge increase in human population has brought more amount of wastes like heavy metals, pesticides and antibiotics. These toxins are very harmful for human health, therefore, it is necessary to sense their presence in environment. Conventional strategies face various problems in detection and quantification of these pollutants such as expensive equipment and requirement of high maintenance with limited portability. Recently, nanostructured devices have been developed to detect environmental pollutants. Polymeric nanocomposites have been found robust, cost effective, highly efficient and accurate for sensing various environmental pollutants and this is due to their porous framework, multi-functionalities, redox properties, great conductivity, catalytic features, facile operation at room temperature and large surface area. Synergistic effects between polymeric matrix and nanomaterials are responsible for improved sensing features and environmental adaptability. This review focuses on the recent advancement in polymeric nanocomposites for sensing heavy metals, pesticides and antibiotics. The advantages, disadvantages, operating conditions and future perspectives of polymeric nanocomposites for sensing toxic pollutants have also been discussed.

Abstract
Biosensors are a simple, low-cost, and reliable way to detect pesticides in food matrices to ensure consumer food safety. This systematic review lists which nanomaterials, biorecognition materials, transduction methods, pesticides, and foods have recently been studied with biosensors associated with analytical performance. A systematic search was performed in the Scopus (n = 388), Web of Science (n = 790), and Science Direct (n = 181) databases over the period 2016–2021. After checking the eligibility criteria, 57 articles were considered in this study. The most common use of nanomaterials (NMs) in these selected studies is noble metals in isolation, such as gold and silver, with 8.47% and 6.68%, respectively, followed by carbon-based NMs, with 20.34%, and nanohybrids, with 47.45%, which combine two or more NMs, uniting unique properties of each material involved, especially the noble metals. Regarding the types of transducers, the most used were electrochemical, fluorescent, and colorimetric, representing 71.18%, 13.55%, and 8.47%, respectively. The sensitivity of the biosensor is directly connected to the choice of NM and transducer. All biosensors developed in the selected investigations had a limit of detection (LODs) lower than the Codex Alimentarius maximum residue limit and were efficient in detecting pesticides in food. The pesticides malathion, chlorpyrifos, and paraoxon have received the greatest attention for their effects on various food matrices, primarily fruits, vegetables, and their derivatives. Finally, we discuss studies that used biosensor detection systems devices and those that could detect multi-residues in the field as a low-cost and rapid technique, particularly in areas with limited resources.

Abstract
The rapid development of aptamers has helped address the challenges presented by the wide existed pesticides contaminations. Screening of aptamers with excellent performance is a prerequisite for successfully constructing biosensors, while further tailoring of aptamers with enhanced activity greatly improved the assay performance. Firstly, this paper reviewed the advanced screening strategies for pesticides aptamers, including immobilization screening that preserves the native structures of targets, non-immobilized screening based on nanomaterials, capillary electrophoresis-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (CE-SELEX), virtual screening in silico, high-throughput selection, and rational secondary library generation methods, which contributed significantly to improve the success rate of screening, reduce the screening time, and ensure aptamer binding affinity. Secondly, the precise tailoring strategies for pesticides aptamers were modularly elaborated, containing deletion, splitting, elongation, and fusion, which provided various advantages like cost-efficiency, enhanced binding affinity, and new derived functional motifs. Thirdly, the developed aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) for pesticide detection were systematically reviewed according to the different signal output modes. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of pesticide detection are discussed comprehensively.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical and food pollutants have threatened global health. Pharmacotherapy has left a positive impression in the field of health and life of people and animals. However, the many unresolved problems brought along with residues of pharmaceuticals in the environmental and food. Consumption of the world's freshwater resources, toxic chemicals, air pollution, plastic waste directly affects water and soil resources. Pesticides have a wide role in pollutants. Therefore, the determination of pesticides is significant to eliminate their negative effects on living things. Nowadays, there are many analytical methods available. However, new analysis methods are still being researched due to certain limitations of traditional methods. Electrochemical sensors have drawn attention because of their superior properties, such as short analysis time, affordability, high sensitivity, and selectivity. The development of new analytical strategies for assessing risks from pharmaceutical to food pollutants in water and soil sources is important for the measurement of different pollutants. Moreover, the 2D-carbon nanomaterials used in the development of electrochemical sensors are widely utilized to enlarge the surface area, increase porosity, and make easy immobilization. Graphene (graphene derivations) and carbon nanotubes integrated nanosensors are widely used for the determination of pesticides. 2D-carbon nanomaterials can be tailored according to the purpose of the study. The characterization and synthesis methods of 2D-carbon nanomaterials are widely explained. Furthermore, enzyme nanobiosensors, especially Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), are widely used to determine pesticides. The three main topics are focused on in this review: 2D-carbon nanomaterials, pesticides that threaten life, and the application of 2D-carbon nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors.

Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:234. [PMID: 35624192 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05327-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
A dual-fluorescence lab-on-fiber biosensor was developed for the rapid and simultaneous on-site determination of acetamiprid and fipronil, based on time-resolved effect and indirect competitive immunoassay principle. The optical fiber modified with two hapten-protein conjugates serves as a bifunctional bio-probe. The dual-color fluorescent reporters were prepared via labeling acetamiprid and fipronil antibodies with Cy5.5 and Alexa Fluor 555, which were excited at 635-nm and 520-nm laser wavelengths, respectively. In the presence of targets, the binding sites of corresponding antibodies were occupied and less antibodies were connected to the probe surface, resulting in the reduction of fluorescence signal. The concentration of acetamiprid and fipronil was determined by measuring the fluorescence signals at 568 nm and 702 nm (emission wavelengths), respectively. Under optimal conditions, the linear response range was 14.2-225.4 ng/L for acetamiprid and 25.1-162.8 ng/L for fipronil, and the limit of detection was 6.51 ng/L and 17.8 ng/L for acetamiprid and fipronil, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the simultaneous detection of acetamiprid and fipronil in three environmental samples, and the recoveries were between 90 and 128%. The dual-fluorescence lab-on-fiber biosensor provides a feasible platform for simultaneous and rapid detection of multiple pesticide residues. A dual-fluorescence lab-on-fiber biosensor was developed for the rapid and simultaneous on-site determination of acetamiprid and fipronil. A bifunctional bio-probe was prepared from the optical fiber modified with two hapten-protein conjugates. Acetamiprid and fipronil antibodies were labeled with different fluorophores and used as dual-color fluorescent reporters.

Abstract
Based on the colorimetric analysis of gold nanoparticles and a smartphone readable strategy, a stable, sensitive, and visual method was established for rapid detection of acetamiprid residues in agricultural products. By optimizing the key parameters, the detection process only took 40 minutes with good specificity. The acetamiprid aptamer can help AuNPs to resist salt-induced aggregation. Conversely, in the presence of acetamiprid, the anti-protection is weakened and the AuNPs aggregated with the color change of the solution. The photographs of the solution are recorded by the smartphone and analyzed through image processing. In the range from 25 to 300 μM the method can realize a quantitative analysis of acetamiprid, and the detection limit is about 3.81 μM. Excellent recoveries are taken in samples of cucumber, cabbage, and river water, ranging from 96.78% to 129.95%. These results show no significant difference from the results obtained by the microplate reader. What's more, the method employs a smartphone to read without the assistance of professional equipment, which greatly reduces the cost of detection, and shows a promising application prospect for on-site rapid detection of acetamiprid.

Abstract
Tea is a popular beverage all around the world. Tea composition, quality monitoring, and tea identification have all been the subject of extensive research due to concerns about the nutritional value and safety of tea intake. In the last 2 decades, research into tea employing electrochemical biosensing technologies has received a lot of interest. Despite the fact that electrochemical biosensing is not yet the most widely utilized approach for tea analysis, it has emerged as a promising technology due to its high sensitivity, speed, and low cost. Through bibliometric analysis, we give a systematic survey of the literature on electrochemical analysis of tea from 1994 to 2021 in this study. Electrochemical analysis in the study of tea can be split into three distinct stages, according to the bibliometric analysis. After chromatographic separation of materials, electrochemical techniques were initially used only as a detection tool. Many key components of tea, including as tea polyphenols, gallic acid, caffeic acid, and others, have electrochemical activity, and their electrochemical behavior is being investigated. High-performance electrochemical sensors have steadily become a hot research issue as materials science, particularly nanomaterials, and has progressed. This review not only highlights these processes, but also analyzes and contrasts the relevant literature. This evaluation also provides future views in this area based on the bibliometric findings.

Abstract
Practical detection of single-component pesticide residue at ultra-low concentrations in agricultural products and environment is very important for assessment of environmental risks and protection of human health. Herein, a practical and highly sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) sensing acetamiprid in agricultural products and environmental media was constructed based on the synergistic co-catalysis of graphene oxide (GO)/gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) nanocomposites for luminol CL reaction and the smart interface engineering. ss-DNA could inhibit co-catalysis of GO/AuNPs for luminol CL reaction. Once acetamiprid was added, aptamer conformation changed in dimension and synergistically catalytic amplification signal of GO/AuNPs was restored significantly. The limit of detection was 8.9 pM. High sensitivity could be due to strong signal amplification from synergistic catalysis of GO/AuNPs for CL reaction and perfect regulation of composite interface by DNA dimension. Moreover, the used GO/AuNPs could be stably stored for six months, which was superior to previously reported AuNPs (only half a month). The analysis exhibited excellent selectivity for acetamiprid. The detection results for real samples confirmed reliability in practical application. This analysis is an extremely useful method for monitoring pesticide residues in environment and agricultural products. Synergetic co-catalysis of GO/AuNPs and ingenious interface engineering provide important ideas for other biosensors.

Abstract
A major aspect of this work is the synergistic application of a poly(diphenylbutadiene)-BiOBr composite and a gold nanoparticle-linked CeO2 octahedron to develop a photoelectrochemical aptasensor with an easily measurable detection signal change. Specifically, poly(diphenylbutadiene) nanofiber-immobilised BiOBr flower-like microspheres were developed as a hybrid material with a heterojunction that facilitates high visible light absorption and efficient photo-generated charge separation, which are essential features for sensitive photoelectrochemical sensors. The model analyte acetamiprid was attached via its specific aptamer on the aptasensor. Separately, a gold nanoparticle-linked CeO2 octahedron was strategically used to significantly diminish the photocurrent by impeding electron transfer at the aptasensor surface. After acetamiprid binding, the CeO2 octahedrons were displaced from the aptasensor. This caused a weakened quenching effect and restored the photocurrent to accomplish an "on-off-on" detection mechanism. This photoelectrochemical aptasensor exhibited a detection limit of 0.05 pM over a linear range of 0.1 pM-10 μM acetamiprid. The use of an aptamer has provided good specificity to acetamiprid and anti-interference. In addition, an ∼5.8% relative standard deviation was estimated as the reproducibility of the photoelectrochemical aptasensor. Furthermore, nearly 90% of the initial photocurrent was still measurable after storing these aptasensors at room temperature for 4 weeks, demonstrating their stability.

Abstract
In the present study, a magnetic mimic multi-enzyme system was developed by encapsulating the aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) herbicide hydrolase QpeH and alcohol oxidase (AOx) in zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) nanocrystals with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs) to detect AOPP herbicides. The structural, protein loading capacity and loading ratio, porosity, and magnetic properties of QpeH/AOx@mZIF-8 were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, nitrogen sorption, and vibrating sample magnetometry. An AOPP herbicide colorimetric biosensor made with QpeH/AOx@mZIF-8 had the highest sensitivity toward quizalofop-P-ethyl (QpE) with a limit of detection of 8.2 μM. This system was suitable to detect two other AOPP herbicides, including fenoxaprop-P-ethyl (FpE) and haloxyfop-P-methyl (HpE). The practical application of the biosensor was verified through quantitative analysis of QpE residues in industrial wastewater and field soils. Furthermore, QpeH/AOx@mZIF-8 exhibited excellent long-term storage stability (at least 50 days), easy separation by magnet, and reusability (at least 10 cycles), supporting its promising role in simple and low-cost detection of AOPP herbicides in real environmental samples.

Abstract
Recently, aptamers have attracted attention in the biosensing field as signal recognition elements because of their high binding affinity toward specific targets such as proteins, cells, small molecules, and even metal ions, antibodies for which are difficult to obtain. Aptamers are single oligonucleotides generated by in vitro selection mechanisms via the systematic evolution of ligand exponential enrichment (SELEX) process. In addition to their high binding affinity, aptamers can be easily functionalized and engineered, providing several signaling modes such as colorimetric, fluorometric, and electrochemical, in what are known as aptasensors. In this review, recent advances in aptasensors as powerful biosensor probes that could be used in different fields, including environmental monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and drug monitoring, are described. Advances in aptamer-based colorimetric, fluorometric, and electrochemical aptasensing with their advantages and disadvantages are summarized and critically discussed. Additionally, future prospects are pointed out to facilitate the development of aptasensor technology for different targets.

Abstract
A novel aptasensor has been fabricated based on the resonance energy transform (RET) system from MoS2QDs-PATP/PTCA (donor) to NH2-UiO-66 (acceptor). The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal of PTCA was greatly amplified due to the decoration of MoS2QDs-PATP, and the NH2-UiO-66 was utilized to label the signal probe DNA (pDNA), which hybridizes with the exposed aptamer anchored on the surface of MoS2QDs-PATP/PTCA. With the target acetamiprid, the specific binding of acetamiprid to aptamer causes the connection between the donor and the acceptor to be interrupted and produce an "on" ECL signal. Thus, an "off-on" ECL sensing platform for sensitive and selective acetamiprid assay was designed. Under the optimal condition, the ECL signal of the aptasensor was found to be linearly related to the logarithm of the acetamiprid concentration ranging from 0.1 fM to 0.1 μM with a detection limit of 0.064 fM. More importantly, the recovery rate of the ECL aptasensor was calculated to be 98.7 ~ 106% with a RSD lower 5.1% for the residual acetamiprid assay in real food samples, which indicated that the aptasensor has high potential for practical applications.

Abstract
Acetamiprid (ACE) is a kind of broad-spectrum pesticide that has potential health risk to human beings. Aptamers (Ap-DNA (1)) have a great potential as analytical tools for pesticide detection. In this work, a label-free electrochemical sensing assay for ACE determination is presented by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). And the specific binding model between ACE and Ap-DNA (1) was further investigated for the first time. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and EIS demonstrated that the single strand AP-DNA (1) first formed a loosely secondary structure in Tris-HClO4 (20 mM, pH = 7.4), and then transformed into a more stable hairpin-like structure when incubated in binding buffer (B-buffer). The formed stem-loop bulge provides the specific capturing sites for ACE, forming ACE/AP-DNA (1) complex, and induced the RCT (charge transfer resistance) increase between the solution-based redox probe [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− and the electrode surface. The change of ΔRCT (charge transfer resistance change, ΔRCT = RCT(after)-RCT(before)) is positively related to the ACE level. As a result, the AP-DNA (1) biosensor showed a high sensitivity with the ACE concentration range spanning from 5 nM to 200 mM and a detection limit of 1 nM. The impedimetric AP-DNA (1) sensor also showed good selectivity to ACE over other selected pesticides and exhbited excellent performance in environmental water and orange juice samples analysis, with spiked recoveries in the range of 85.8% to 93.4% in lake water and 83.7% to 89.4% in orange juice. With good performance characteristics of practicality, sensitivity and selectivity, the AP-DNA (1) sensor holds a promising application for the on-site ACE detection.

Abstract
Contamination by pesticides in the food chain and the environment is a worldwide problem that needs to be actively monitored to ensure safety. Unfortunately, standard pesticide analysis based on mass spectrometry takes a lot of time, money and effort. Thus, simple, reliable, cost-effective and field applicable methods for pesticide detection have been actively developed. One of the most promising technologies is an aptamer-based biosensor or so-called aptasensor. It utilizes aptamers, short single-stranded DNAs or RNAs, as pesticide recognition elements to integrate with various innovative biosensing technologies for specific and sensitive detection of pesticide residues. Several platforms for aptasensors have been dynamically established, such as colorimetry, fluorometry, electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and so forth. Each platform has both advantages and disadvantages depending on the purpose of use and readiness of technology. For example, colorimetric-based aptasensors are more affordable than others because of the simplicity of fabrication and resource requirements. Electrochemical-based aptasensors have mainly shown better sensitivity than others with exceedingly low detection limits. This paper critically reviews the progression of pesticide aptasensors throughout the development process, including the selection, characterization and modification of aptamers, the conceptual frameworks of integrating aptamers and biosensors, the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to end users) criteria of different platforms and the future outlook.

Abstract
Electrochemical aptasensors involved in chemical labeling are often single-use and sensitivity-limited because the probes are commonly single-point labeled and irreversible. In this work, the specific coordination between Zr4+ and phosphate group (-PO43-) was employed to construct a new aptasensor that is highly sensitive and reusable, using Ochratoxin A (OTA) as the test model. The OTA binding aptamer (OBA) was hybridized with the thiolated supporting sequence (TSS) immobilized on the surface of a gold electrode. The UiO-66 with a formula of [Zr6O4(OH)4(BDC)6], one of the class of Zr metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), was then particularly grafted on the terminal of OBA through the specific coordination between Zr4+ and 5'-PO43-, i.e., the Zr-O-P coordination bond. Similarly, as much as the 5'-PO43- and 3'-methylene blue dual-labeled sequences (DLS) were further assembled on UiO-66 due to the large surface area of MOF and rich active sites of Zr4+. Owing to the specific coordination for signal amplification, the developed aptasensor shows greatly enhanced sensitivity. A wide detection range from 0.1 fM to 2.0 μM and an ultralow detection limit of 0.079 fM (S/N = 3) for OTA were obtained. Additionally, the TSS can rehybridize with a new OBA to regenerate the aptasensor but without complicated pretreatments, enabling a aptasensor that is readily reusable for OTA detection. The aptasensor was successfully applied for OTA detection in the red wine samples, demonstrating a promising prospect for food safety monitoring.

Dually enhanced homogenous synthesis of molybdophosphate by hybridization chain reaction and enzyme nanotags for the electrochemical bioassay of carcinoembryonic antigen.

Abstract
A magnetic bead (MB)-based sandwich biorecognition reactions is combined with a gold nanoprobe-induced homogenous synthesis of molybdophosphate to develop a novel bioassay method for the electrochemical detection of the tumor biomarker of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The nanoprobe is prepared through the specific loading of numerous alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) produced by the CEA aptamer-triggered hybridization chain reaction (HCR). Both the large amounts of PO43- produced by the ALP catalytic hydrolysis of pyrophosphate and the phosphate backbones of dsDNA can react with the added MoO42- to generate electroactive molybdophosphates. So, the gold nanoprobe was used for signal tracing of the sandwich bioassay of CEA at a constructed antibody-functionalized MB platform. The sensitive electrochemical measurement of molybdophosphate produced from the quantitatively captured nanoprobes at a carbon nanotube-modified electrode (measured at about 0.12 V vs. Ag/AgCl, 3 M KCl) enabled the convenient signal transduction of the method. Due to the dually enhanced synthesis of molybdophosphate by the HCR and multi-enzyme Au NP nanotags, this method shows a wide linear range from 0.05 pg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1 along with a low detection limit of 0.027 pg mL-1. In addition, the MB-based biorecognition reaction and the homogeneous synthesis of molybdophosphate are much convenient in manipulations. These excellent performances decide the extensive application potentials of the method. Graphical abstract A magnetic bead-based bioassay method was simply developed for the electrochemical detection of carcinoembryonic antigen. The dually enhanced homogenous synthesis of molybdophosphate by hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and enzyme nanotags and the sensitive electrochemical measurement of molybdophosphate at a carbon nanotube (CNT)-electrode enable ultrasensitive signal transduction of the method.

Abstract
DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) have demonstrated pervasive applications in analytical chemistry recently. As a way of signal output in DNA-based detection methods, DNA-AgNCs have prominent advantages: first, the recognition and synthesizing sequences are naturally integrated in one DNA probe without any chemical modification or connection; second, the emissive wavelength of DNA-AgNCs can be adjusted in a wide range by employing different sequences; third, DNA-AgNCs can be utilized for producing not only fluorescence, also electrochemiluminescence and electrochemical signals. Besides, they also show potential applications for cell imaging, and are considered to be one of the most ideal nanomaterials for in-vivo imaging due to their ultra-small particle size. In this review, a brief and comprehensive introduction of DNA-AgNCs is firstly given, then label-free probes using DNA-AgNCs are classified and summarized, lastly concluding perspectives are provided on the defects and application potentials.
