Abstract
Due to the serious detrimental impact on human health, antibiotic pollution particularly tetracyclines residues has become a serious problem. Herein, a multiple response fluorescent probe consisted of dual-emission carbon dots and Eu3+ (D-CDs@Eu3+) is designed for the determination and discrimination of tetracyclines (TCs). Specifically, the carboxyl and amidogen group of dual-emission carbon dots (D-CDs) can coordinate with Eu3+ to form the D-CDs@Eu3+. Upon adding TCs, the fluorescence intensities of D-CDs at 405 nm and 495 nm are quenched due to inner filter effect (IFE) and the localization of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (L-FRET) between the D-CDs@Eu3+ and TC. Simultaneously, the D-CDs@Eu3+ may chelate with TCs to enhance the occurrence of antenna effect, while the characteristic peaks of Eu3+ at 590 nm and 615 nm are enhanced. On these bases, the TCs detection is achieved with low detection limits from 46.7 to 72.0 nM. Additionally, through the distinct efficiencies of L-FRET, the discrimination of TCs is achieved. Moreover, a novel centrifugated lateral flow assay strips (CLFASs) device is developed by integrating the D-CDs@Eu3+, lateral flow assay strips and smartphone using RGB variations for TCs detection, achieving remarkable recoveries (98.6-103.7 %) in real samples. Therefore, this CLFASs device provides a reliable approach for the TCs detection, demonstrating potential applications.

Abstract
The environmental contamination by extremophile Aspergillus species, i.e., Aflatoxin B1, is hardly controllable in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, which lack handling resources and controlled storage facilities. Acute aflatoxicosis poisoning from aflatoxin-prone dietary staples could cause acute hepatic necrosis, acute liver failure, and death. Here, as the cheaper, more straightforward, and facile on-site diagnostic kit is needed, we report an ultraviolet-excitable optical aptasensor based on a fluorinated ethylene propylene film strip. Molecular dynamics on the aptamer.AFB1 complex revealed that the AFB1 to the aptamer increases the overall structural stability, suggesting that the aptamer design is suitable for the intended application. Under various influencing factors, the proposed label-free strategy offers a fast 20-min on-site fabrication simplicity and 19-day shelf-life. The one-pot incubation provides an alternative to catalytic detection and exhibited 4 times reusability. The recovery of crude brown sugar, processed peanuts, and long-grain rice were 102.74 ± 0.41 (n = 3), 86.90 ± 3.38 (n = 3), and 98.50 ± 0.42 (n = 3), comparable to High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Photodiode Array Detector results. This study is novel owing to the peculiar UV-active spectrum fingerprint and the convenient use of hydrophobic film strips that could promote breakthrough innovations and new frontiers for on-site/forensic detection of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are known to possess unique characteristics, which allow them to overcome a number of issues that plague traditional fluorescence probes. UCNPs have been employed in a variety of applications, but it is arguably in the realm of optical sensors where they have shown the most promise. Biomolecule conjugated UCNPs-based fluorescence probes have been developed to detect and quantify a wide range of analytes, from metal ions to biomolecules, with great specificity and sensitivity. In this review, we have given much emphasis on the recent trends and progress in the preparation strategies of bioconjugated UCNPs and their potential application as fluorescence sensors in the trace level detection of food industry-based toxicants and adulterants. The paper discusses the preparation and functionalisation strategies of commonly used biomolecules over the surface of UCNPs. The use of different sensing strategies namely heterogenous and homogenous assays, underlying fluorescence mechanisms in the detection process of food adulterants are summarized in detail. This review might set a precedent for future multidisciplinary research including the development of novel biomolecules conjugated UCNPs for potential applications in food science and technology.

A sensitive and versatile electrochemical sensor based on hybridization chain reaction and CRISPR/Cas12a system for antibiotic detection. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1304:342562.

Abstract
A sensitive electrochemical platform was constructed with NH2-Cu-MOF as electrochemical probe to detect antibiotics using CRISPR/Cas12a system triggered by hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The sensing system consists of two HCR systems. HCR1 occurred on the electrode surface independent of the target, generating long dsDNA to connect signal probes and producing a strong electrochemical signal. HCR2 was triggered by target, and the resulting dsDNA products activated the CRISPR/Cas12a, thereby resulting in effective and rapid cleavage of the trigger of HCR1, hindering the occurrence of HCR1, and reducing the number of NH2-Cu-MOF on the electrode surface. Eventually, significant signal change depended on the target was obtained. On this basis and with the help of the programmability of DNA, kanamycin and ampicillin were sensitively detected with detection limits of 60 fM and 10 fM (S/N = 3), respectively. Furthermore, the sensing platform showed good detection performance in milk and livestock wastewater samples, demonstrating its great application prospects in the detection of antibiotics in food and environmental water samples.

Abstract
The misuse and overuse of chloramphenicol poses severe threats to food safety and human health. In this work, we developed a magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) pretreatment material coated with a multilayered metal-organic framework (MOF), Fe3O4 @ (ZIF-8)3, for the separation and enrichment of chloramphenicol from fish. Furthermore, we designed an artificial-intelligence-enhanced single microsphere immunosensor. The inherent ultra-high porosity of the MOF and the multilayer assembly strategy allowed for efficient chloramphenicol enrichment (4.51 mg/g within 20 min). Notably, Fe3O4 @ (ZIF-8)3 exhibits a 39.20% increase in adsorption capacity compared to Fe3O4 @ZIF-8. Leveraging the remarkable decoding abilities of artificial intelligence, we achieved the highly sensitive detection of chloramphenicol using a straightforward procedure without the need for specialized equipment, obtaining a notably low detection limit of 46.42 pM. Furthermore, the assay was successfully employed to detect chloramphenicol in fish samples with high accuracy. The developed immunosensor offers a robust point-of-care testing tool for safeguarding food safety and public health.

Abstract
The inappropriate employment of antibiotics across diverse industries has engendered profound apprehensions concerning their cumulative presence within human bodies and food commodities. Consequently, many nations have instituted stringent measures limiting the admissible quantities of antibiotics in food items. Nonetheless, conventional techniques employed for antibiotic detection prove protracted and laborious, prompting a dire necessity for facile, expeditious, and uncomplicated detection methodologies. In this regard, aptamer-based fluorescent DNA biosensors (AFBs) have emerged as a sanguine panacea to surmount the limitations of traditional detection modalities. These ingenious biosensors harness the binding prowess of aptamers, singular strands of DNA/RNA, to selectively adhere to specific target antibiotics. Notably, the AFBs demonstrate unparalleled selectivity, affinity, and sensitivity in detecting antibiotics. This comprehensive review meticulously expounds upon the strides achieved in AFBs for antibiotic detection, particularly emphasizing the labeling modality and the innovative free-label approach. It also elucidates the design principles behind a diverse array of AFBs. Additionally, a succinct survey of signal amplification strategies deployed within these biosensors is provided. The central objective of this review is to apprise researchers from diverse disciplines of the contemporary trends in AFBs for antibiotic detection. By doing so, it aspires to instigate a concerted endeavor toward the development of heightened sensitivity and pioneering AFBs, thereby contributing to the perpetual advancement of antibiotic detection methodologies.

Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a halophilic and heat-labile gram-negative bacterium and is the most prevalent foodborne bacterium in seafood. In order to develop a rapid and sensitive method for detecting the foodborne pathogenic bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus, an aptamer-modified magnetic nanoparticle and an aptamer-modified upconversion nanoparticle were synthesised and used as a capture probe and a signal probe, respectively. The aptamer-modified magnetic nanoparticle, V. parahaemolyticus cell, and aptamer-modified upconversion nanoparticle formed a sandwich-like complex, which was rapidly separated from a complex matrix using a magnetic force, and the bacterial concentration was determined by fluorescence intensity analysis. The results showed that the fluorescence intensity signal correlated positively with the concentration of V. parahaemolyticus in the range of 3.2 × 102 to 3.2 × 105 CFU/mL, with a linear equation of y = 296.40x - 217.67 and a correlation coefficient of R2 = 0.9610. The detection limit of the developed method was 4.4 CFU/mL. There was no cross-reactivity with other tested foodborne pathogens. This method is highly specific and sensitive for the detection of V. parahaemolyticus, and can achieve the qualitative detection of this bacterium in a complex matrix.

Abstract
Chloramphenicol (CAP) is a potent antibiotic. Due to its side effects, CAP is currently banned in most countries, but it is still found in many food products and in the environment. Developing aptamer-based biosensors for the detection of CAP has interested many researchers. While both RNA and DNA aptamers were previously reported for CAP, they were all obtained by immobilization of the CAP base, which omitted the two chlorine atoms. In this work, DNA aptamers were selected using the library-immobilized method and free unmodified CAP. Three families of aptamers were obtained, and the best one named CAP1 showed a dissociation constant (Kd) of 9.8 μM using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). A fluorescent strand-displacement sensor showed a limit of detection (LOD) of 14 μM CAP. Thioflavin T (ThT) staining allowed label-free detection of CAP with a LOD of 1 μM in buffer, 1.8 μM in Lake Ontario water, and 3.6 μM in a wastewater sample. Comparisons were made with previously reported aptamers, and ITC failed to show binding of a previously reported 80-mer aptamer. Due to the small size and well-defined secondary structures of CAP1, this aptamer will find analytical applications for environmental and food monitoring.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, molecular self-assembly has witnessed tremendous progress in a variety of biosensing and biomedical applications. In particular, self-assembled nanostructures of small organic molecules and peptides with intriguing characteristics (e.g., structure tailoring, facile processability, and excellent biocompatibility) have shown outstanding potential in the development of various biosensors. In this review, we introduced the unique properties of self-assembled nanostructures with small organic molecules and peptides for biosensing applications. We first discussed the applications of such nanostructures in electrochemical biosensors as electrode supports for enzymes and cells and as signal labels with a large number of electroactive units for signal amplification. Secondly, the utilization of fluorescent nanomaterials by self-assembled dyes or peptides was introduced. Thereinto, typical examples based on target-responsive aggregation-induced emission and decomposition-induced fluorescent enhancement were discussed. Finally, the applications of self-assembled nanomaterials in the colorimetric assays were summarized. We also briefly addressed the challenges and future prospects of biosensors based on self-assembled nanostructures.

Abstract
In this report, we have presented a novel route to attach molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) through covalent bonding. First, the surface of rGO was modified with maleic anhydride (MA) via a Diels-Alder reaction using a deep eutectic solvent (DES). Next, 3-propyl-1-vinylimidazolium molecular units were anchored and polymerized in the presence of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) using chloramphenicol (CAP) as the template. Primarily, we investigated the effect of the molar ratio of individual precursors on the adsorption capacity of synthesized materials and accordingly fabricated the electrochemical sensor for CAP detection. Electrochemical results evidenced that the covalent bonding of MIP units enhanced the sensitivity of the respective sensor toward CAP in water as well as in real honey samples with high selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. This synthesis strategy involves the covalent binding of MIP on rGO materials via click chemisty under sonication power excluding harmful solvents and energy-intensive processes and thus could be a motivation for developing future electrochemical sensors through similar "green" routes.

Abstract
In this study, a chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1 aptamer-functionalized DNA hydrogel was designed for the simultaneous detection of chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1 for the first time. The acrydite-modified chloramphenicol aptamer sequence was used to synthesize the DNA hydrogel and for visual detection of chloramphenicol depending on the gel-to-sol transition of the target-responsive DNA hydrogel. The DNA hydrogel formulation was set as follows: 60% of each linear polyacrylamide-DNA conjugate and 40% of acrylamide and chloramphenicol aptamer/DNA strand-1 at a molar ratio of 1:1, and the lowest concentration of chloramphenicol leading to gel dissociation was 1.0 nM at 25 °C. Furthermore, the formalized aptamer-functionalized DNA hydrogel was used to detect aflatoxin M1 by measuring the recovery of the fluorescence signal that was quenched when the FAM-labeled aflatoxin M1 aptamer and BHQ1-labeled DNA strand-2 were hybridized to form a double-stranded DNA in the network of hydrogel. The detection platform was successfully applied to the detection of chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1, both in aqueous solution and in milk. The aptamer-functionalized DNA hydrogel had detection (LOD) and quantification limits (LOQ) for aflatoxin M1 as 1.7 and 5.2 nM, respectively. Using two aptamer sequences with high affinity and specificity, the dual-sensing platform based on the DNA hydrogel achieved higher selectivity for chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1, which demonstrated its potential as a reliable simultaneous detection platform against two different targets for monitoring food safety.

Abstract
A novel, molecularly imprinted, upconversion fluorescence probe (UCNP@MIFP) for sulfonamide sensing was fabricated by Pickering emulsion polymerization using UCNP@SiO2 particles as the stabilizer and sulfamethazine/sulfamerazine as the co-templates. The synthesis conditions of the UCNP@MIFP were optimized, and the synthesized probe was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, thermogravimetric analyzer, and fluorescence spectrometer. The UCNP@MIFPs showed a good adsorption capacity and a fast kinetic feature for the template. The selectivity experiment revealed that the UCNP@MIFP has a broad-spectrum molecular recognition capability. Good linear relationships were obtained over the concentration range of 1-10 ng/mL for sulfamerazine, sulfamethazine, sulfathiazole, and sulfafurazole, with low limits of detection in the range of 1.37-2.35 ng/mL. The prepared UCNP@MIFP has the potential to detect four sulfonamide residues in food and environmental water.

Abstract
Patulin (PAT), a type of mycotoxin existing in foodstuffs, is harmful to food safety and human health. Thus, it is necessary to develop sensitive, selective and reliable analytical methods for PAT detection. In this study, a sensitive aptasensor based on a dual-signaling strategy was fabricated, in which a methylene-blue-labeled aptamer and ferrocene monocarboxylic acid in the electrolyte acted as a dual signal, for monitoring PAT. To improve the sensitivity of the aptasensor, an in-plane gold nanoparticles-black phosphorus heterostructure (AuNPs-BPNS) was synthesized for signal amplification. Due to the combination of AuNPs-BPNS nanocomposites and the dual-signaling strategy, the proposed aptasensor has a good analytical performance for PAT detection with the broad linear range of 0.1 nM-100.0 μM and the low detection limit of 0.043 nM. Moreover, the aptasensor was successfully employed for real sample detection, such as apple, pear and tomato. It is expected that BPNS-based nanomaterials hold great promise for developing novel aptasensors and may provide a sensing platform for food safety monitoring.

Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are highly contagious and lethal mosquito-borne viruses. Global warming is steadily increasing the probability of ZIKV and DENV infection, and accurate diagnosis is required to control viral infections worldwide. Recently, research on biosensors for the accurate diagnosis of ZIKV and DENV has been actively conducted. Moreover, biosensor research using DNA nanotechnology is also increasing, and has many advantages compared to the existing diagnostic methods, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). As a bioreceptor, DNA can easily introduce a functional group at the 5' or 3' end, and can also be used as a folded structure, such as a DNA aptamer and DNAzyme. Instead of using ZIKV and DENV antibodies, a bioreceptor that specifically binds to viral proteins or nucleic acids has been fabricated and introduced using DNA nanotechnology. Technologies for detecting ZIKV and DENV can be broadly divided into electrochemical, electrical, and optical. In this review, advances in DNA-nanotechnology-based ZIKV and DENV detection biosensors are discussed.

Abstract
Small molecular food contaminants, such as mycotoxins, pesticide residues and antibiotics, are highly probable to be passively introduced in food at all stages of its processing, including planting, harvest, production, transportation and storage. Owing to the high risks caused by the unknowing intake and accumulation in human, there is an urgent need to develop rapid, sensitive and efficient methods to monitor them. Fluorescence-based aptasensors provide a promising platform for this area owing to its simple operation, high sensitivity, wide application range and economical practicability. In this paper, the common sorts of small molecular contaminants in foods, namely mycotoxins, pesticides, antibiotics, etc, are briefly introduced. Then, we make a comprehensive review, from fluorescence resonance energy transfer (in turn-on, turn-off, and ratiometric mode, as well as energy upconversion) to fluorescence polarization, of the fluorescence-based aptasensors for the determination of these food contaminants reported in the last five years. The principle of signal generation, the advances of each sort of fluorescent aptasensors, as well as their applications are introduced in detail. Additionally, we also discussed the challenges and perspectives of the fluorescent aptasensors for small molecular food contaminants. This work will offer systematic overview and inspiration for amateurs, researchers and developers of fluorescence-based aptasensors for the detection of small molecules.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and accurate detection of chloramphenicol is of paramount importance for food safety. Herein, an enzyme-modulated photothermal immunosensor that uses a self-calibrated thermal imaging system (SCTIS) as signal read-out was developed for detecting chloramphenicol. In this immunosensor, alkaline phosphatase was used as a modulator of the photothermal conversion. It could hydrolyze the substrate into ascorbic acid, thereby reducing oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, which exhibited a near-infrared laser-driven photothermal effect. For precise temperature measurement, the SCTIS was designed by using the temperature compensation of a ceramic chip to enable real-time self-calibration of the temperature. This SCTIS-based immunosensor could detect chloramphenicol with a LOD of 9 pg/mL in 2 h, and relative standard derivations from 3.95% to 13.58%. The average recoveries in milk and egg samples ranged from 76% to 114%. This versatile sensing strategy can detect various targets by altering recognition elements, thus has wide applicability in food safety testing and monitoring.

Abstract
Tetracyclines (TCs), a type of antibiotics, are widely used in human therapy and animal husbandry. Public concerns about tetracyclines residues have been raised due to their negative impact on the environment and food, causing bacterias drug resistance and human health concerns. In this work, a luminescent europium MOF (EuUCBA) is constructed via post-synthetic attachment of Eu3+ into a UiO-66 type MOF. The luminescent of EuUCBA exhibits high stability in aqueous media in the pH range of 4-11. Among 36 common veterinary drugs, the synthesized probe is highly selective and sensitive to six tetracyclines with low detection limits of 0.118 μM, 0.228 μM, 0.102 μM, 0.138 μM, 0.206 μM, and 0.078 μM for oxytetracycline (OTC), chlortetracycline (CTC), methylenetetracycline (MTC), minocycline (MOC), tetracycline (TC), and doxycycline (DOXY), respectively. Furthermore, the probe shows good anti-interference ability and fast response. Finally, EuUCBA was successfully to detect DOXY in swine wastewater and pig kidney with good recoveries. This work provides an excellent fluorescent sensor for highly selective and rapid detection of TCs residues in wastewater and complex biological samples.

Abstract
To establish rapid, high-sensitive, quantitative detection of ACP residues in vegetables. A 1G2 cell clone was selected as the most sensitive for anti-ACP antibody production following secondary immunization, cell fusion, and screening. The affinity of the 1G2 antibody to each of the four coating agents (imidacloprid−bovine serum albumin [BSA], thiacloprid−BSA, imidaclothiz−BSA, and ACP-BSA) was determined using a 20 min enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 0.51−0.62 ng/mL, showing no significant difference in affinity to different antigens. However, we obtained IC50 values of 0.58 and 1.40 ng/mL on the linear regression lines for 1G2 anti-ACP antibody/imidacloprid−BSA and 1G2 anti-ACP antibody/thiacloprid−BSA, respectively, via quantum dot (QD)-based immunochromatography. That is, the 1G2 antibody/imidacloprid−BSA pair (the best combination) was about three times more sensitive than the 1G2 antibody/thiacloprid−BSA pair in immunochromatographic detection. The best combination was used for the development of an 8 min chromatographic paper test. With simple and convenient sample pretreatment, we achieved an average recovery of 75−117%. The coefficient of variation (CoV) was <25% for all concentrations tested, the false−positive rate was <5%, the false−negative rate was 0%, and the linear range of the method was 50−1800 μg/kg. These performance metrics met the ACP detection standards in China, the European Union (EU), and the United States (US). In summary, in this study, we established an 8 min QD-based immunochromatographic stripe for the rapid and accurate quantitative determination of ACP residues in vegetables.

Abstract
To grow food for people, antibiotics were used, and these antibiotics can accumulate in the human body through food metabolism, which may have remarkably harmful effects on human health and safety. Therefore, low-cost sensors are needed for the detection of antibiotic residues in food samples. Recently, nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors such as carbon nanoparticles, graphene nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles, metal nanoparticles, and metal-organic nanostructures have been successfully used as sensing materials for the detection of chloramphenicol (CP) and furazolidone (FZ) antibiotics. However, additional efforts are still needed to fabricate effective multi-functional nanomaterial-based electrodes for the preparation of portable electrochemical sensor devices. The current review focuses on a quick introduction to CP and FZ antibiotics, followed by an outline of the current electrochemical analytical methods. In addition, we have discussed in-depth different nanoparticle supports for the electrochemical detection of CP and FZ in different matrices such as food, environmental, and biological samples. Finally, a summary of the current problems and future perspectives in this area are also highlighted.

Abstract
Aptamers are a particular class of functional recognition ligands with high specificity and affinity to their targets. As the candidate recognition layer of biosensors, aptamers can be used to sense biomolecules. Aptasensors, aptamer-based biosensors, have been demonstrated to be specific, sensitive, and cost-effective. Furthermore, smartphone-based devices have shown their advantages in binding to aptasensors for point-of-care testing (POCT), which offers an immediate or spontaneous responding time for biological testing. This review describes smartphone-based aptasensors to detect various targets such as metal ions, nucleic acids, proteins, and cells. Additionally, the focus is also on aptasensors-related technologies and configurations.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution resulting from significant heavy metal waste discharge is increasingly serious. Traditional methods for the detection of heavy metal ions have high requirements on external conditions, so developing a sensitive, simple, and reproducible detection method is becoming an urgent need. The aptamer, as a new kind of artificial probe, has received more attention in recent years for its high sensitivity, easy acquisition, wide target range, and wide use in the detection of various harmful substances. The detection platform that an aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor (E-apt sensor) provides is a new approach for the detection of heavy metal ions. Nanomaterials are particularly important in the construction of E-apt sensors, as they can be used as aptamer carriers or sensitizers to stimulate or inhibit electrochemical signals, thus significantly improving the detection sensitivity. This review summarizes the application of different types of nanomaterials in E-apt sensors. The construction methods and research progress of the E-apt sensor based on different working principles are systematically introduced. Moreover, the advantages and challenges of the E-apt sensor in heavy metal ion detection are summarized.

Abstract
The production of synthetic drugs is considered a huge milestone in the healthcare sector, transforming the overall health, aging, and lifestyle of the general population. Due to the surge in production and consumption, pharmaceutical drugs have emerged as potential environmental pollutants that are toxic with low biodegradability. Traditional chromatographic techniques in practice are time-consuming and expensive, despite good precision. Alternatively, electroanalytical techniques are recently identified to be selective, rapid, sensitive, and easier for drug detection. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are known for their intrinsic porous nature, high surface area, and diversity in structural design that provides credible drug-sensing capacities. Long-term reusability and maintaining chemo-structural integrity are major challenges that are countered by ligand-metal combinations, optimization of synthetic conditions, functionalization, and direct MOFs growth over the electrode surface. Moreover, chemical instability and lower conductivities limited the mass commercialization of MOF-based materials in the fields of biosensing, imaging, drug release, therapeutics, and clinical diagnostics. This review is dedicated to analyzing the various combinations of MOFs used for electrochemical detection of pharmaceutical drugs, comprising antibiotics, analgesics, anticancer, antituberculosis, and veterinary drugs. Furthermore, the relationship between the composition, morphology and structural properties of MOFs with their detection capabilities for each drug species is elucidated.

Abstract
Kanamycin (KAN) is widely used in animal husbandry to treat bacterial infections. However, excessive KAN may cause residues and be transmitted to humans and the environment, causing serious adverse effects on humans. Herein, a simple fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based aptasensor has been developed for sensitive detection of KAN in food. In the absence of KAN, UCNPs-aptamer hybridized with BHQ3-cDNA and quenched fluorescence was observed due to the FRET effect between BHQ3 and UCNPs. In the presence of KAN, double strands separated and the fluorescence intensity was recovered. Additionally, a linear relation (R2 = 0.9926) was found in the range of 0.05-50 μM and the recovered fluorescence intensity at 654 nm with a detection limit of 18.9 nM. The method was verified by standard recovery method and HPLC with satisfactory recovery rate (87.0-109.6%) and accuracy (P > 0.05). These results showed the proposed method could be successfully applied to detect KAN in food samples.

Abstract
Sensitive and precise determination of chloramphenicol (CAP) is of great significance for human health due to its high risk in trace amounts. Solid-state artificial nanochannels are expected to be highly promising sensing devices owing to single-molecule sensitivity, target-specific selectivity, and portability. Herein, we report an aptamer self-assembly-functionalized artificial nanochannel-based sensor for highly sensitive and precise determination of CAP. Aptamer self-assembly (AAs) served as the specific recognition component and were in situ grown on the surface of stable anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanochannels to develop an AAs@AAO nanochannel-based sensor. Selective interaction with CAP led to the disassembly of AAs and sensitive current change of AAs@AAO nanochannels, allowing sensitive and precise sensing of CAP in complex food samples. The developed AAs@AAO nanochannel-based sensor showed a wide linear range from 0.32 to 1600 pg. mL-1, low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 pg. mL-1, high precision with relative standard deviation of 2.9%, and quantitative recoveries of 93.4-102.2% for CAP in milk, milk powder, and honey samples. This work proposes a versatile nanochannel-based platform for facile, sensitive, and precise sensing of hazardous residues in food samples.

Antibiotics, nowadays, are not only used for the treatment of human diseases but also used in animal and poultry farming to increase production. Overuse of antibiotics leads to their circulation in the food chain due to unmanaged discharge. These circulating antibiotics and their residues are a major cause of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), so comprehensive and multifaceted measures aligning with the One Health approach are crucial to curb the emergence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance through the food chain. Different chromatographic techniques and capillary electrophoresis (CE) are being widely used for the separation and detection of antibiotics and their residues from food samples. However, the matrix present in food samples interferes with the proper detection of the antibiotics, which are present in trace concentrations. This review is focused on the scientific literature published in the last decade devoted to the detection of antibiotics in food products. Various extraction methods are employed for the enrichment of antibiotics from a wide variety of food samples; however, solid-phase extraction (SPE) techniques are often used for the extraction of antibiotics from food products and biological samples. In addition, this review has scrutinized how changing instrumental composition, organization, and working parameters in the chromatography and CE can greatly impact the identification and quantification of antibiotic residues. This review also summarized recent advancements in other detection methods such as immunological assays, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based assays, and biosensors which have emerged as rapid, sensitive, and selective tools for accurate detection and quantification of traces of antibiotics.

Abstract
Foodborne diseases have become a significant threat to public health worldwide. Development of analytical techniques that enable fast and accurate detection of foodborne pathogens is significant for food science and safety research. Assays based on lanthanide (Ln) ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) show up as a cutting edge platform in biomedical fields because of the superior physicochemical features of UCNPs, including negligible autofluorescence, large signal-to-noise ratio, minimum photodamage to biological samples, high penetration depth, and attractive optical and chemical features. In recent decades, this novel and promising technology has been gradually introduced to food safety research. Herein, we have reviewed the recent progress of Ln3+-doped UCNPs in food safety research with emphasis on the following aspects: 1) the upconversion mechanism and detection principles; 2) the history of UCNPs development in analytical chemistry; 3) the in-depth state-of-the-art synthesis strategies, including synthesis protocols for UCNPs, luminescence, structure, morphology, and surface engineering; 4) applications of UCNPs in foodborne pathogens detection, including mycotoxins, heavy metal ions, pesticide residue, antibiotics, estrogen residue, and pathogenic bacteria; and 5) the challenging and future perspectives of using UCNPs in food safety research. Considering the diversity and complexity of the foodborne harmful substances, developing novel detections and quantification techniques and the rigorous investigations about the effect of the harmful substances on human health should be accelerated.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoparticles (FNPs) have been widely used in chemistry and medicine for decades, but their employment in biology is relatively recent. Past reviews on FNPs have focused on chemical, physical or medical uses, making the extrapolation to biological applications difficult. In biology, FNPs have largely been used for biosensing and molecular tracking. However, concerns over toxicity in early types of FNPs, such as cadmium-containing quantum dots (QDs), may have prevented wide adoption. Recent developments, especially in non-Cd-containing FNPs, have alleviated toxicity problems, facilitating the use of FNPs for addressing ecological, physiological and molecule-level processes in biological research. Standardised protocols from synthesis to application and interdisciplinary approaches are critical for establishing FNPs in the biologists' tool kit. Here, we present an introduction to FNPs, summarise their use in biological applications, and discuss technical issues such as data reliability and biocompatibility. We assess whether biological research can benefit from FNPs and suggest ways in which FNPs can be applied to answer questions in biology. We conclude that FNPs have a great potential for studying various biological processes, especially tracking, sensing and imaging in physiology and ecology.

Abstract
A fluorometric aptasensor based on Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) aptamer labeled aminated carbon quantum dots (NH2-CQDs) and graphene oxide (GO) for the determination of E. coli O157:H7 was developed. In this research, carboxyl group (-COOH) terminated E. coli O157:H7 aptamer was steadily labeled to NH2-CQDs by amidation reaction, and played the role of energy donor and was responsible for chemical recognition. Correspondingly, GO served as an energy acceptor. The introduction of NH2-CQDs not only made the aptamer bond stably through covalent bond, but also significantly enhanced the fluorescence intensity compared with general CQDs. The NH2-CQDs-aptamer is adsorbed on the surface of GO through π-π stacking and hydrophobic interaction. The fluorescence of NH2-CQDs-aptamer was quenched via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between NH2-CQDs and GO. After adding E. coli O157:H7, the specific binding affinity between NH2-CQDs-aptamer and E. coli O157:H7 lead to desorption of NH2-CQDs-aptamer from GO, and recovery of the fluorescence intensity of NH2-CQDs-aptamer. Under the optimal conditions, the increased fluorescence intensity showed a good linear relationship to concentrations of E. coli O157:H7 in the range 102 - 107 cells/mL, with a detection limit of 89 cells/mL. Furthermore, the developed method was successfully applied to the determination of E. coli O157:H7 in commercial milk samples.

Abstract
The food safety issue has gradually become the focus of attention in modern society. The presence of food contaminants poses a threat to human health and there are a number of interesting researches on the detection of food contaminants. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are superior to other fluorescence materials, considering the benefits of large anti-Stokes shifts, high chemical stability, non-autofluorescence, good light penetration ability, and low toxicity. These properties render UCNPs promising candidates as luminescent labels in biodetection, which provides opportunities as a sensitive, accurate, and rapid detection method. This paper intended to review the research progress of food contaminants detection by UCNPs-based sensors. We have proposed the key criteria for UCNPs in the detection of food contaminants. Additionally, it highlighted the construction process of the UCNPs-based sensors, which includes the synthesis and modification of UCNPs, selection of the recognition elements, and consideration of the detection principle. Moreover, six kinds of food contaminants detected by UCNPs technology in the past 5 years have been summarized and discussed fairly. Last but not least, it is outlined that UCNPs have great potential to be applied in food safety detection and threw new insight into the challenges ahead.

Abstract
In this study, a dual-receptor doxorubicin-targeted delivery system based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) modified with mucine-1 and ATP aptamers (DOX@MSNs-Apts) was developed. An amine-modified mucine-1 (MUC1) aptamer was covalently anchored on the surface of carboxyl-functionalized MSNs. Then, ATP aptamers (ATP1 and ATP2 aptamers) were immobilized on the surface of MSNs through partial hybridization with the MUC1 aptamer by forming a Y-shaped DNA structure on the MSNs surface (DOX@MSNs-Apts) as a gatekeeper. The developed DOX@MSNs-Apts exhibited high DOX loading capacity. In addition, it indicated an ATP-responsive feature, leading to the release of DOX in the environment with high ATP concentration (10 mM), similar to the intracellular environment of tumor cells. This property demonstrated that anticancer drug (DOX) could be entrapped inside the nanocarrier with nearly no leakage in blood and a very low concentration of ATP (1 μM). It was found that after the internalization of DOX@MSNs-MUC1 by cancer cells via the MUC1 receptor-mediated endocytosis, the ATP aptamers left the surface of the nanocarrier, allowing for rapid DOX release. DOX@MSNs-Apts indicated higher cellular uptake in MCF-7 and C26 cancer cells (MUC1+), rather than CHO cells (MUC1-). The in vitro cytotoxicity and the in vivo antitumor efficacy of DOX@MSNs-Apts showed greater cytotoxicity than the nanoparticles decorated with scrambled ATP aptamers (DOX@MSNs-Apts scrambled) in C26 and MCF-7 cell lines (MUC1+). The biodistribution and in vivo anticancer efficacy on the C26 tumor bearing mice indicated that the DOX@MSNs-Apts had a higher tumor accumulation and superior tumor growth inhibitory effect compared to free DOX and their scrambled aptamers, DOX@MSNs-Apts scrambled. Overall, the obtained results indicated that the prepared smart platform could reveal new insights into the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Food safety and quality regulations inevitably call for sensitive and accurate analytical methods to detect harmful contaminants in food and to ensure safe food for the consumer. Both novel and well-established biorecognition elements, together with different transduction schemes, enable the simple and rapid analysis of various food contaminants. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are inorganic nanocrystals that convert near-infrared light into shorter wavelength emission. This unique photophysical feature, along with narrow emission bandwidths and large anti-Stokes shift, render UCNPs excellent optical labels for biosensing because they can be detected without optical background interferences from the sample matrix. In this review, we show how this exciting technique has evolved into biosensing platforms for food quality and safety monitoring and highlight recent applications in the field.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactive protein that appears in the bloodstream in response to inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 produced by adipocytes and macrophages during the acute phase of the inflammatory/infectious process. CRP measurement is widely used as a representative acute and chronic inflammatory disease marker. With the development of diagnostic techniques measuring CRP more precisely than before, CRP is being used not only as a traditional biomarker but also as a biomarker for various diseases. The existing commercialized CRP assays are dominated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ELISA has high selectivity and sensitivity, but its limitations include requiring complex analytic processes, long analysis times, and professional manpower. To overcome these problems, nanobiotechnology is able to provide alternative diagnostic tools. By introducing the nanobio hybrid material to the CRP biosensors, CRP can be measured more quickly and accurately, and highly sensitive biosensors can be used as portable devices. In this review, we discuss the recent advancements in electrochemical, electricity, and spectroscopy-based CRP biosensors composed of biomaterial and nanomaterial hybrids.

Abstract
Pregnancy test strips are one of the most mature and widely used commercial lateral flow devices used to determine pregnancy. Being a simple and rapid detection method, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was used with different aptamers (hCG-apt) as probes for the detection of metal ions, small organic molecules, and proteins. Quantitative detection of target analytes was achieved using a smartphone app and a portable device developed in our laboratory. The results showed detection ranges of 1 nM-1 μM, 0.1 nM-10 μM and 32 nM-500 nM for Pb2+, chloramphenicol, and β-lactoglobulin, respectively, and the corresponding visual detection limits in dairy products were 5 nM, 1 nM and 50 nM, respectively. Based on these results, rapid detection of multiple analytes can be realized through aptamer modification, thereby broadening the application range of commercial lateral flow devices for analysis of food chemistry.

Abstract
A visible light self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor based on silver chromate particles, graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets and graphene oxide sheets (Ag2CrO4/g-C3N4/GO) for the ultrasensitive detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) was reported in this work. g-C3N4 was considered to be the fundamental photoelectric material because of its great oxidation ability of photogenerated hole as well as excellent biocompatibility and low toxicity. However, the narrow light absorption range and rapid carrier recombination rate limit the application of pure g-C3N4. Herein, Ag2CrO4 and GO as photosensitizer were introduced to improve the photoelectric properties of g-C3N4. The photocurrent of the developed ternary composite was about 3 times higher than that of pristine g-C3N4, which proves it can be used as a suitable photoelectric active material. Moreover, the mechanism of Z-scheme electron transfer path was proved by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The fabricated PEC aptasensor exhibited high sensitivity toward CAP with a wide liner response of 0.5 pM to 50 nM and a detection limit of 0.29 pM. The specific recognition mechanism and excellent sensing performance indicated this aptasensor could serve as a useful tool for selective and ultrasensitive CAP detection in practical analysis.

Abstract
Upconversion materials have been the focus of a large body of research in analytical and clinical fields in the last two decades owing to their ability to convert light between various spectral regions and their particular photophysical features. They emit efficient and sharp ultraviolet (UV) or visible luminescence after excitation with near-infrared (NIR) light. These features overcome some of the disadvantages reported for conventional fluorescent materials and provide opportunities for high sensitivity chemo-and bio-sensing. Here, we review studies that used upconversion materials as sensors for the determination of pharmaceuticals and biomolecules in the last two decades. The articles included in this review were retrieved from the SCOPUS database using the search phrases: "upconversion nanoparticles for determination of pharmaceutical compounds", and "upconversion nanoparticles for determination of biomolecules". Details of each developed upconversion nanoparticles based sensor along with their relevant analytical parameters are reported and carefully explained.

Detection of chloramphenicol with an aptamer-based colorimetric assay: critical evaluation of specific and unspecific binding of analyte molecules. Mikrochim Acta 2020; 187:668. [PMID: 33215333 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-020-04644-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
A chloramphenicol (CAP)-binding aptamer of 80 nucleotides (nt) was reported in 2011. In 2014, it was truncated to 40 nt and has since been used by most researchers, although a careful binding study is still lacking. In this work, binding assays using isothermal titration calorimetry and various DNA-staining dyes were performed. By comparing the truncated aptamer with three control sequences, no specific binding of CAP was observed in each case. The secondary structures of the original and truncated aptamers were analyzed, and it was shown that the likelihood of the truncated aptamer to retain the same binding mechanism as the original sequence is low. We further examined gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based label-free colorimetric assays. By quantifying the extinction ratio at 620 nm over that at 520 nm, a similar color response was observed regardless of the sequence of DNA, suggesting the color change mainly reflected other events such as the adsorption of CAP by the AuNPs, instead of aptamer binding to CAP. Salt-induced aggregation experiments suggested direct adsorption of CAP on AuNPs. CAP only weakly inhibited DNA adsorption by AuNPs but did not displace pre-adsorbed DNA. Therefore, CAP adsorption by AuNPs needs to be considered when designing related sensors, for example, by using non-aptamer sequences as controls. This work calls for careful confirmation of aptamer binding and control experiments for designing aptamer and AuNP-based biosensors.

Abstract
Malathion is an organophosphorus pesticide which could remain in agricultural products and exert irreversible harmful effects on human health. Hence, strict monitoring of malathion contents is very significant. Here, a highly sensitive fluorescent aptasensor was developed for the determination of malathion, the system was based on a cationic polymer-mediated fluorescence 'turn-off'. In this system, malathion-specific aptamers were bound to cationic polymer through electrostatic interactions. To produce fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), negatively charged upconversion fluorescent nanoparticles (UCNPs) and cationic-polymer encapsulated gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were combined. This combination resulted in fluorescence quenching, and the degree of quenching was correlated with the concentration of malathion. Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensities were observed to decrease linearly with the rising concentration of the malathion from 0.01 to 1 μM with a detection limit of 1.42 nM. Furthermore, the developed sensor possessed good selective recognition ability for malathion and was successfully used to detect malathion in adulterated tap water and matcha samples with high accuracy.
