Critical evaluation of the potential of ICP-MS-based systems in toxicological studies of metallic nanoparticles. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:2657-2676. [PMID: 38329514 PMCID: PMC11009754 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05181-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
The extensive application of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in several fields has significantly impacted our daily lives. Nonetheless, uncertainties persist regarding the toxicity and potential risks associated with the vast number of NPs entering the environment and human bodies, so the performance of toxicological studies are highly demanded. While traditional assays focus primarily on the effects, the comprehension of the underlying processes requires innovative analytical approaches that can detect, characterize, and quantify NPs in complex biological matrices. Among the available alternatives to achieve this information, mass spectrometry, and more concretely, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), has emerged as an appealing option. This work critically reviews the valuable contribution of ICP-MS-based techniques to investigate NP toxicity and their transformations during in vitro and in vivo toxicological assays. Various ICP-MS modalities, such as total elemental analysis, single particle or single-cell modes, and coupling with separation techniques, as well as the potential of laser ablation as a spatially resolved sample introduction approach, are explored and discussed. Moreover, this review addresses limitations, novel trends, and perspectives in the field of nanotoxicology, particularly concerning NP internalization and pathways. These processes encompass cellular uptake and quantification, localization, translocation to other cell compartments, and biological transformations. By leveraging the capabilities of ICP-MS, researchers can gain deeper insights into the behaviour and effects of NPs, which can pave the way for safer and more responsible use of these materials.

Zhao J, Wang X, Gao B, Xia X, Li Y. Characterization and quantification of silver complexes with dissolved organic matter by size exclusion chromatography coupled to ICP-MS. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 466:133645. [PMID: 38310837 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
The fate and behavior of silver in aquatic systems is intricately determined by its interactions with dissolved organic matter (DOM). In this study, we have introduced a method for identification and quantification of silver-DOM complexes using size exclusion chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SEC-ICP-MS). Our findings revealed that silver(I) was weakly bound to Suwannee River humic acid, fulvic acid, and natural organic matter (SRHA, SRFA, and SRNOM) in various media, resulting in facile dissociation during chromatographic separation. Suitable chromatographic conditions were determined for the elution of Ag-DOM complexes, involving the use of 0.5 mM ammonium acetate (pH 7) as the mobile phase and silver-aged column (pre-absorbing 0.1-0.7 μg silver(I)). SEC-UV and SEC-ICP-MS chromatograms revealed that Ag-binding fractions of DOM were dominated by its aromatic compounds. The quantification of silver-DOM complexes was achieved by SEC-ICP-MS combination with on-line isotope dilution. Silver at concentrations below 20 µg L-1 was mainly present in the form of organic complexes in low salinity water. These measurements aligned well with the results obtained using the equilibrium dialysis method. Species analyses of Ag-DOM complexes provide a deeper understanding of the reactivity, transport, and fate of silver in aquatic environments. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: Ionic silver is highly toxic to aquatic organisms such as fish and zooplankton. The complexation of silver with binding sites within DOM significantly influences its speciation, mobility, and toxicity. Despite the complex and unknown structure of silver-DOM complexes, this study provided a SEC-ICP-MS method to identify and quantify these complexes in a range of media. By uncovering the formation of silver-DOM complexes across diverse media, this work enhances the comprehension of silver transformation processes and associated environmental risks in aquatic environments.

Abstract
Cisplatin metallodrugs have been widely used in the treatment of multiple cancers over the last years. Nevertheless, its limited effectiveness, development of acquired drug resistances, and toxic effects decrease nowadays their application in clinical settings. Aiming at improving their features, investigations have been oriented towards the coupling of cisplatin to nanocarriers, like liposomes or inorganic nanoparticles. Moreover, these systems can be further developed to allow targeted co-delivery of drugs. In this review, we describe the major nanosystems and the optimal analytical strategies for their assessment. Finally, we describe the main biological effects of these metallodrug conjugates and the available approaches for their study.

Abstract
Anthracene based chemosensor ABC has been synthesized and characterized through 1H, 13C NMR, mass spectral studies. UV absorption and emission studies performed to identify the sensing behavior of chemosensor ABC. The probe ABC, originally bright fluorescent, selectively sense Ag+ ion by the quenching the fluorescence intensity through a "Switch On-off" process and quench the fluorescence due to the heavy atom effect interaction with the free chemosensor. The binding constant of the probe ABC with Ag+ was calculated as 5.4 × 104 M-1 and the limit of detection upto 1.4 nM level. The practical utilization of the probe ABC was demonstrated by applying to the real water and soil sample analysis, latent finger print, and the sensor as a fluorescent ink.

Microbially Synthesized Polymer-Metal Nanoparticles Composites as Promising Wound Dressings to Overcome Methicillin-Resistance Staphylococcus aureus Infections. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15040920.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance has been declared one of the top 10 global public health threats. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a leading cause of recurring skin and soft tissue infections in patients with chronic skin conditions such as diabetic foot infections, making the treatment of the ulcers challenging. Wound dressings combined with metal nanoparticles have been suggested to prevent and treat MRSA-infected wounds. However, these particles are commonly synthesized by chemical approaches. In this study, we developed bio-based silver (Bio-AgNPs) and copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) polymer composites using a microbially produced polyester from the Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) family. Poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate)-co-(3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHO) was synthesized by Pseudomonas putida and functionalized in-situ with Bio-AgNPs or ex-situ with CuONPs. PHO-CuONPs films did not inhibit MRSA growth, while a reduction of 6.0 log CFU/mL was achieved with PHO-Bio-AgNPs synthesized from silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution at 3.5 mM. Exposure of human fibroblast cells (HFF-1) to the bioactive films did not induce notable cytotoxicity and genotoxicity, as seen by a viability higher than 79% and no significant changes in basal DNA damage. However, exposure to PHO-Bio-AgNPs induced oxidative DNA damage in HFF-1 cells. No hemolytic potential was observed, while platelet aggregation was promoted and desired for wound healing. Here we demonstrate the biosynthesis of polymer-nanoparticle composites and their potential as bioactive films for MRSA treatment.

Electrical asymmetric-flow field-flow fractionation with a multi-detector array platform for the characterization of metallic nanoparticles with different coatings. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:2113-2120. [PMID: 36604335 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-04506-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Electrical asymmetric-flow field-flow fractionation (EAF4) is a new and interesting analytical technique recently proposed for the characterization of metallic nanoparticles (NPs). It has the potential to simultaneously provide relevant information about size and electrical parameters, such as electrophoretic mobility (μ) and zeta-potential (ζ), of individual NP populations in an online instrumental setup with an array of detectors. However, several chemical and instrumental conditions involved in this technique are definitely influential, and only few applications have been proposed until now. In the present work, an EAF4 system has been used with different detectors, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), multi-angle light scattering (MALS), and inductively coupled plasma with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-TQ-MS) for the characterization of gold, silver, and platinum NPs with both citrate and phosphate coatings. The behavior of NPs has been studied in terms of retention time and signal intensity under both positive and negative current with results depending on the coating. Carrier composition, particularly ionic strength, was found to be critical to achieve satisfactory recoveries and a reliable measurement of electrical parameters. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) has been used as a comparative technique for these parameters. The NovaChem surfactant mix (0.01%) showed a quantitative recovery (93 ± 1%) of the membrane, but the carrier had to be modified by increasing the ionic strength with 200 μM of Na2CO3 to achieve consistent μ values. However, ζ was one order of magnitude lower in EAF4-UV-vis-MALS than in DLS, probably due to different electric processes in the channel. From a practical point of view, EAF4 technique is still in its infancy and further studies are necessary for a robust implementation in the characterization of NPs.

Abstract
Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) is a well-known, versatile and scalable technique for the separation of molecules according to their hydrodynamic size in solution as well as for the determination of molecular weight distributions of polymers. In this paper we demonstrate and generalize the applicability of SEC to the classification and characterization of multimodal distributions of nanoparticles over a broad size range. After calibration with gold standards from 5 nm to 80 nm, the calibration curve is used to determine the particle size distributions (PSDs) of the standards which are in agreement with comprehensive nanoparticle size analysis by analytical ultracentrifugation. Universal calibration curves independent of the core material and surface functionality can be constructed if the pore diameter of the stationary phase exceeds the particle diameter by a factor of 2-3. Mixtures of gold standards are separated by SEC and evaluated in terms of peak resolution and size-dependent separation curves depending on how well the individual peaks are resolved. Baseline separation of a multimodal mixture is observed and its PSD is determined. Mixtures can be fractionated into coarse and fine fractions with nm precision at different switching times of the fraction collector. Our study demonstrates the strength of SEC to classify multimodal PSDs as well as to accurately determine size distributions of complex nanoparticle dispersions over a broad size range.

Abstract
Inductively coupled-plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has transformed our knowledge on the role of trace and major elements in biology and has emerged as the most versatile technique in elemental mass spectrometry. The scope of ICP-MS has dramatically changed since its inception, and nowadays, it is a mature platform technology that is compatible with chromatographic and laser ablation (LA) systems. Over the last decades, it kept pace with various technological advances and was inspired by interdisciplinary approaches which endorsed new areas of applications. While the first part of this review was dedicated to fundamentals in ICP-MS, its hyphenated techniques and the application in biomonitoring, isotope ratio analysis, elemental speciation analysis, and elemental bioimaging, this second part will introduce relatively current directions in ICP-MS and their potential to provide novel perspectives in the medical sciences. In this context, current directions for the characterisation of novel nanomaterials which are considered for biomedical applications like drug delivery and imaging platforms will be discussed while considering different facets of ICP-MS including single event analysis and dedicated hyphenated techniques. Subsequently, immunochemistry techniques will be reviewed in their capability to expand the scope of ICP-MS enabling analysis of a large range of biomolecules alongside elements. These methods inspired mass cytometry and imaging mass cytometry and have the potential to transform diagnostics and treatment by offering new paradigms for personalised medicine. Finally, the interlacing of immunochemistry methods, single event analysis, and functional nanomaterials has opened new horizons to design novel bioassays which promise potential as assets for clinical applications and larger screening programs and will be discussed in their capabilities to detect low-level proteins and nucleic acids.

Abstract
This work describes the optimization of a methodology for the reduction of silver ions from silver nanoparticle suspensions obtained from low-yield laboratory procedures. The laboratory synthesis of silver nanoparticles following a bottom-up approach starting from silver nitrate, originates silver ions that were not reduced to their fundamental state for nanoparticles creation at the end of the process. However, it is well known that silver ions can easily influence chemical assays due to their chemical reactivity properties and can limit biological assays since they interfere with several biological processes, namely intracellular ones, leading to the death of living cells or organisms. As such, the presence of silver ions is highly undesirable when conducting biological assays to evaluate the influence of silver nanoparticles. We report the development of an easy, low-cost, and rapid methodology that is based on cation exchange resins to minimize the silver ion content in a raw suspension of silver nanoparticles while preserving the integrity of the nanomaterials. This procedure preserves the physical-chemical properties of the nanoparticles, thus allowing the purified nanoparticulate systems to be biologically tested. Different types of cationic resins were tested, and the developed methodology was optimized by changing several parameters. A reduction from 92% to 10% of free silver/total silver ratio was achieved when using the Bio-Rad 50W-X8 100–200 mesh resin and a contact time of 15 min. Filtration by vacuum was used to separate the used resin from the nanoparticles suspension, allowing it to be further reused, as well as the purified AgNPs suspension.

Abstract
Natural mercury-containing nanoparticles (Hg-NPs) have been found in the environment, but the information for Hg-NPs in organisms was still limited. Clarifying the unique roles of Hg-NPs in organisms is crucial to fully understand the health risks of Hg. Herein, liver and muscle tissues of cetaceans were collected to identify the presence and characteristics of Hg-NPs. We found that methylmercury (MeHg) was the dominant species of Hg in muscles, while inorganic Hg (IHg) accounted for 84.4-99.0% (average 94.0%) of Hg in livers. By using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), size exclusion chromatography coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SEC-ICPMS) and single particle ICPMS (sp-ICPMS), large amounts (9-161 μg/g) of Hg-NPs in livers and small amounts (0.1-0.4 μg/g) in muscles were observed, indicating that Hg-NPs was an important form of Hg in livers. Both small sized (5-40 nm) and large sized (>100 nm) Hg-NPs were identified, which were mainly complexed with selenium (Se) and sulfur (S) as well as a few cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and silver (Ag). This study provided direct evidence of Hg-NPs in marine mammals as well as their chemical form and size distribution, which are helpful for further understanding the biogeochemical cycle and health risk of Hg.

AgNPs have exceptional characteristics that depend on their size and shape. Over the past years, there has been an exponential increase in applications of nanoparticles (NPs), especially the silver ones (AgNPs), in several areas, such as, for example, electronics; environmental, pharmaceutical, and toxicological applications; theragnostics; and medical treatments, among others. This growing use has led to a greater exposure of humans to AgNPs and a higher risk to human health and the environment. This risk becomes more aggravated when the AgNPs are used without purification or separation from the synthesis medium, in which the hazardous synthesis precursors remain unseparated from the NPs and constitute a severe risk for unnecessary environmental contamination. This review examines the situation of the available separation methods of AgNPs from crude suspensions or real samples. Different separation techniques are reviewed, and relevant data are discussed, with a focus on the sustainability and efficiency of AgNPs separation methods.

Abstract
Nanoplastics (NPs) are a rapidly developing subject that is relevant in environmental and food research, as well as in human toxicity, among other fields. NPs have recently been recognized as one of the least studied types of marine litter, but potentially one of the most hazardous. Several studies are now being reported on NPs in the environment including surface water and coast, snow, soil and in personal care products. However, the extent of contamination remains largely unknown due to fundamental challenges associated with isolation and analysis, and therefore, a methodological gap exists. This article summarizes the progress in environmental NPs analysis and makes a critical assessment of whether methods from nanoparticles analysis could be adopted to bridge the methodological gap. This review discussed the sample preparation and preconcentration protocol for NPs analysis and also examines the most appropriate approaches available at the moment, ranging from physical to chemical. This study also discusses the difficulties associated with improving existing methods and developing new ones. Although microscopical techniques are one of the most often used ways for imaging and thus quantification, they have the drawback of producing partial findings as they can be easily mixed up as biomolecules. At the moment, the combination of chemical analysis (i.e., spectroscopy) and newly developed alternative methods overcomes this limitation. In general, multiple analytical methods used in combination are likely to be needed to correctly detect and fully quantify NPs in environmental samples.

Speciation of platinum nanoparticles in different cell culture media by HPLC-ICP-TQ-MS and complementary techniques: A contribution to toxicological assays. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1182:338935. [PMID: 34602208 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.338935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
Toxicological studies of nanoparticles (NPs) are highly demanded nowadays but they are very challenging. In the in vitro assays, the understanding of the role of cell culture media is crucial to derive a proper interpretation of the toxicological results and to do so, new analytical tools are necessary. In this context, an analytical strategy based on reversed-phase liquid chromatography hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-TQ-MS) has been developed for the first time for the detection and characterization of both 5 and 30 nm PtNPs, as well as ionic platinum species, in commonly used cell culture media. For this purpose, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, DMEM-high glucose, DMEM-F12, DMEM 31053-028, and Roswell Park Memorial Institute, RPMI-1640 (supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics) at several incubation times (24, 48, and 96 h at 37 °C) were tested. After a careful optimization and analytical performance, the developed method allows to simultaneously study the oxidation process, leading to the release of ionic species, and the increase in the hydrodynamic volume of PtNPs, probably related to the formation of new biological entities (protein corona). The magnitude of both processes was found to be dependent on the tested cell culture media and incubation times. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) were used as complementary techniques to study the important process of both soft and hard protein corona formation. The feasibility of the HPLC-ICP-TQ-MS to get relevant information for toxicological studies has been demonstrated and in light of our results, the influence of the cell culture media on the behavior of PtNPs should not be underestimated.

Chemometric approach to discrimination and determination of binary mixtures of silver ions and nanoparticles in consumer products by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Talanta 2021; 230:122319. [PMID: 33934783 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Revised: 03/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Extensive use of nanomaterials in consumer products inevitably leads to their release to the environment. For monitoring of the fate of nanoparticles in various matrices, low-cost, simple and rapid size-based methods are required. Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) can be used for this purpose, because due to the difference between a thermal energy required to atomize ionic silver (Ag+) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) of different size, the maxima of signals measured by are slightly shifted in time. However, signals are seriously overlapped. Analytical signals of various concentrations of Ag+ and differently sized AgNPs in their mixtures were registered under optimized temperature conditions using GFAAS. The research aim was to develop a procedure for quantitative and qualitative analyses of Ag species in the binary mixtures without the need for the deconvolution of their signals into single components. For evaluation of the qualitative composition of the silver forms present in the studied samples, soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) was applied. The best results were obtained based on the first derivative of absorption signal. The correct identification rate of the Ag forms was only in the range 25-60% depending on the composition of the tested samples, that indicates limitations of this approach. For estimating the concentrations of the Ag forms, partial least squares regression (PLSR) was implemented. The errors levels (expressed as the root mean squared error of prediction of concentration) for mixtures were acceptable and comparable between the studied databases. The developed model was applied for determination of silver species in personal care products. The errors oscillating up to 7.5% for the sum of Ag species are within the limits of the relative prediction error determined from the research studies while building the model.

Abstract
It is promising yet challenging to develop efficient methods to separate nanoparticles (NPs) with nanochannel devices. Herein, in order to guide and develop the separation method, the thermodynamic mechanism of NP penetration into solvent-filled nanotubes is investigated by using classical density functional theory. The potential of mean force (PMF) is calculated to evaluate the thermodynamic energy barrier for NP penetration into nanotubes. The accuracy of the theory is validated by comparing it with parallel molecular dynamics simulation. By examining the effects of nanotube size, solvent density, and substrate wettability on the PMF, we find that a large tube, a low bulk solvent density, and a solvophilic substrate can boost the NP penetration into nanotubes. In addition, it is found that an hourglass-shaped entrance can effectively improve the NP penetration efficiency compared with a square-shaped entrance. Furthermore, the minimum separation density of NPs in solution is identified, below which the NP penetration into nanotubes requires an additional driving force. Our findings provide fundamental insights into the thermodynamic barrier for NP penetration into nanotubes, which may provide theoretical guidance for separating two components using microfluidics.

Abstract
Ag+ has been known to mediate several natural metallo-base pairs. Based on the unique structural information of a short 8-mer DNA strand (5'-GCACGCGC-3') induced by Ag+, we constructed several fluorescent DNA beacons for the detection of Ag+ according to the increase in the fluorescence emission on Ag+ binding. This Ag+ detection assay is quick, sensitive, and easy to adapt and can function in a wide range of temperatures from 5 to 65 °C.

Abstract
In present work, a new substituted phthalonitrile derivative was prepared by the nucleophilic displacement reaction and then highly soluble zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) with four peripheral 1-hydroxyhexan-3-ylthio groups was synthesized by cyclotetramerization and characterized by FTIR, 1H and 13C NMRs spectroscopies, fluorescence and UV-vis measurements. The optical property and quantum yield of ZnPc were elucidated in mixed solvent of ethanol/water with varying compositions. The pH-dependent fluorescence and absorbance spectra of ZnPc in the absence and presence of Ag+ ions were obtained to elucidate the optimum pH value that is convenient for stable complex formation in predetermined mixture. A comparative study for recognition of Ag+ ion has been carried out to evaluate the effect of the solution parameters on selective sensing ability of ZnPc as a fluorescent receptor. Interference effect was investigated by spectrofluorometric titration based on fluorescence quenching of ZnPc upon addition of Ag+ ion in the presence of foreign metal ions. Stepwise complexation/decomplexation cycles with Na2S-titration by fluorescence quenching/enhancement were investigated to establish the reversible response rate and reusability of ZnPc toward Ag+ ions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the increased use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs), their tracing in environmental and biological systems is of utmost importance. Besides their accumulation within a biological specimen, little is known about their degradation and transformation into corresponding low-molecular species that might influence any toxicological impact. ANALYTICAL METHODS Wistar rats underwent intraperitoneal injections of 40 nm citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles. Different liver samples were analysed for the occurrence of nanoparticles and potential degradation products by means of spICP-MS, TEM and HPLC-ICP-MS. MAIN FINDINGS Studies using spICP-MS revealed the presence of the originally administrated Au NPs (40 nm diameter) and some evidences of other Au-containing species due to the increased background signal. Images obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed the predominant presence of particles of significantly smaller diameter (6 ± 2 nm). As complementary method, HPLC-ICP-MS confirmed the presence of both particle types indicating a degradation of the Au NPs accompanied by detection of low-molecular Au species. CONCLUSIONS This study underlines that degradation of gold nanoparticles to low-molecular gold species might have to be taken into account in future for studies on their toxicological behaviour and their potential use in clinical applications.

Abstract
A C-Ag+-C structure-based fluorescence biosensor with novel combination design of exonuclease III (Exo III) dual-recycling amplification is proposed for the application of silver ions (Ag+) detection. Since oligo-1 involves C-C mismatches, the presence of Ag+ can be captured to form C-Ag+-C base pairs, which results in a double-helix structure with a blunt terminus. The double-helix structure can be cleaved by EXO III to release short mononucleotide fragments (trigger DNA) and Ag+. Released Ag+ can form new bindings with oligo-1, and other trigger DNA can be produced in the digestion cycles. Hybridization with the signal DNA (oligo-2) transforms a trigger DNA into double-stranded DNA with blunt terminus which can be cleaved by Exo III to reproduce the trigger DNA and form guanine- (G-) quadruplex DNA. The trigger DNA returns free to the solution and hybridizes with another signal DNA, which realizes the dual-recycling amplification. The G-quadruplex DNA can be reported by N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (NMM), a specific G-quadruplex DNA fluorochrome. This method allows Ag+ to be determined in the 5 to 1500 pmol/L concentration range, with a 2 pmol/L detection limit, and it has been successfully applied to the detection of Ag+ in real samples.

Abstract
The capacity of different soils to capture silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by measuring changes of an AgNP intrinsic property such as the plasmon for the first time, was studied. In-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME) coupled on-line to capillary liquid chromatography (CapLC) with diode array detection (DAD) was employed for measuring the interactions between soil and in-contact AgNP dispersions. Its achieved LOD 9 pM assures quantitative retention measurements and selectivity for soil lixiviation was suitable. Electronic microscopy was employed for corroborating the entrapped Ag into the soils. Capture % of AgNPs was calculated in compost (>99%), mountain (>99%), orchard (15±1%) and urban (48±1%) soils. Also, the relation between some soil characteristics: solid organic matter (SOM), composition, pH, redox potential (Eh), electrical conductivity (EC) and size, and the retention of these metallic nanoparticles was studied. The results have also been estimated after sieving and the capture % of AgNPs was similar in the resulting fractions. AgNP adsorption on a given soil is mainly affected by its organic matter content for studied soils with higher SOM amounts (23-62%). However, for the soils with lower SOM amounts (4.6-8.3%) the role of HAs could prevent AgNP deposition onto soils. The proposed methodology can be utilized for quickly assessing the potential of a given soil considering its properties for capturing these nanoparticles, which can come at handy for their administration, characterization or remediation.

Abstract
Two systems of suspended nanoparticles have been studied with near-ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy: silver nanoparticles in water and strontium fluoride-calcium fluoride core-shell nanoparticles in ethylene glycol. The corresponding dry samples were measured under ultra high vacuum for comparison. The results obtained under near-ambient pressure were overall comparable to those obtained under ultra high vacuum, although measuring silver nanoparticles in water requires a high pass energy and a long acquisition time. A shift towards higher binding energies was found for the silver nanoparticles in aqueous suspension compared to the corresponding dry sample, which can be assigned to a change of surface potential at the water-nanoparticle interface. The shell-thickness of the core-shell nanoparticles was estimated based on simulated spectra from the National Institute of Standards and Technology database for simulation of electron spectra for surface analysis. With the instrumental set-up presented in this paper, nanoparticle suspensions in a suitable container can be directly inserted into the analysis chamber and measured without prior sample preparation.
