Abstract
In this study, we employed tannic acid (TA)-functionalized silver nanoparticles (TA@AgNPs) as colorimetric probe for the simultaneous and sensitive detection of Al(III) and F- ions. The proposed sensor was based on the aggregation and anti-aggregation effects of target Al(III) and F- ions on TA@AgNPs, respectively. Because of the strong coordination bond between Al(III) ions and TA, the addition of Al(III) ions to TA@AgNPs could cause aggregation and, hence, result in a significant change in the absorption and color of the test solution. Interestingly, in the presence of F- ions, the aggregation effect of Al(III) ions on TA@AgNPs can be effectively prevented. The extent of aggregation and anti-aggregation effects was concentration-dependent and can be used for the quantitative detection of Al(III) and F- ions. The as-proposed sensor presented the sensitive detection of Al(III) and F ions with limits of detection (LOD) of 0.2 and 0.19 μM, respectively. In addition, the proposed sensor showed excellent applicability for the detection of Al(III) and F- ions in real water samples. Moreover, the sensing strategy offered a simple, rapid, and sensitive detection procedure and could be used as a potential alternative to conventional methods, which usually involve sophisticated instruments, complicated processes, and a long detection time.

Surface molecularly imprinted-based matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry for highly selective and sensitive direct analysis of paraquat in complicated samples. Talanta 2023; 258:124423. [PMID: 36898307 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
Herein, a novel surface molecularly imprinted-based matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SMI-MALDI-TOF MS) method for direct target paraquat (PQ) analysis in complicated samples is reported. Notably, a captured analyte-imprinted material can be directly detected via MALDI-TOF MS by using imprinted material as nanomatrix. Using this strategy, the molecular specific affinity performance of surface molecularly imprinted polymers (SMIPs) and the high-sensitivity detection capability of MALDI-TOF MS was integrated. The introduction of SMI endowed the nanomatrix with the capacity for rebinding the target analyte and ensuring specificity, prevented the interfering organic matrix, and enhanced the analyzing sensitivity. By using paraquat (PQ) as a template, dopamine as a monomer, and covalent organic frameworks with a carboxyl group (C-COFs) as a substrate, polydopamine (PDA) was decorated on C-COFs via a simple self-assembly procedure to generate an analyte-based surface molecularly imprinted polymer (C-COF@PDA-SMIP), which served the dual function of SMIP capturing the target analytes and high-efficiency ionization. Thus, a reliable MALDI-TOF MS detection PQ with high selectivity and sensitivity as well as an interference-free background was achieved. The synthesis and enrichment conditions of C-COF@PDA-SMIPs were optimized, and its structure and property were characterized. Under optimal experimental conditions, the proposed method achieved highly selective and ultrasensitive detection of PQ from 5 to 500 pg mL-1, and the limit of detection was as low as 0.8 pg mL-1, which is at least three orders of magnitude lower than that achieved without enrichment. In addition, the specificity of the proposed method was superior to that of C-COFs and nonimprinted polymers. Moreover, this method exhibited reproducibility, stability, and high salt tolerance. Lastly, the practical applicability of the method was successfully verified by analyzing complicated samples, such as grass and orange.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed an exponential increase in the research on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based colorimetric sensors to revolutionize point-of-use sensing devices. Hence, this review is compiled focused on current progress in the design and performance parameters of AuNPs-based sensors. The review begins with the characteristics of AuNPs, followed by a brief explanation of synthesis and functionalization methods. Then, the mechanisms of AuNPs-based sensors are comprehensively explained in two broad categories based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) characteristics of AuNPs and their peroxidase-like catalytic properties (nanozyme). SPR-based colorimetric sensors further categorize into aggregation, anti-aggregation, etching, growth-mediated, and accumulation-based methods depending on their sensing mechanisms. On the other hand, peroxidase activity-based colorimetric sensors are divided into two methods based on the expression or inhibition of peroxidase-like activity. Next, the analytes in environmental and food samples are classified as inorganic, organic, and biological pollutants, and recent progress in detection of these analytes are reviewed in detail. Finally, conclusions are provided, and future directions are highlighted. Improving the sensitivity, reproducibility, multiplexing capabilities, and cost-effectiveness for colorimetric detection of various analytes in environment and food matrices will have significant impact on fast testing of hazardous substances, hence reducing the pollution load in environment as well as rendering food contamination to ensure food safety.

Abstract
Detection of pesticide paraquat (PQ) is of considerable significance to ensure food safety, and its rapid and on-site detection is still a challenge. Aimed at the ion characteristics of PQ, an "enrichment and detection" strategy was proposed to improve the sensitivity through electrostatic attractions, and the ion characteristic of probes was adopted to increase the portability through avoiding aggregation-caused quenching effects in the paper strips. Herein, a novel anion-functionalized ionic liquid (IL) probe with a large conjugated plane and rich π-electrons ([Fluo][P66614]2) was designed as a fluorescent and colorimetric dual-channel probe to sensitively and rapidly detect trace amounts of PQ in vegetables and the environment. The proposed probe exhibited good linearity with a detection limit of 64.0 nM in the PQ concentration range of 0.3-7.0 μM (fluorometry) and 0.1 μM in that of 0.1-8.0 μM (colorimetry), respectively. In addition, it displayed a rapid fluorescence quenching response from green to dark (<5 s) and excellent anti-interference (among 23 other pesticides) due to dual effects of electrostatic attraction and π-π stacking. Most importantly, the lipophilic IL probe could be applied in real vegetables and environmental samples with a satisfying recovery rate of 98-103% and assembled into a handy paper strip that achieved the visual semiquantitative detection of PQ. This ionic probe provides a feasible approach for rapidly and conveniently detecting PQ for ensuring agricultural and food safety and opens a new avenue to detect ion-responsive analytes in real complex samples by an "enrichment and detection" strategy.

Abstract
Paraquat is a widely used herbicide for controlling weeds and grasses in agriculture, and its contaminated residues in agricultural areas are of increasing concern. This work reports the development of the sensitive and easy-to-use colorimetric aptasensor for screening paraquat residues in agricultural soil. The short DNA fragments derived from the original aptamer were analyzed for their capability to interact with paraquat by molecular dynamic simulation. The paraquat-aptasensor was developed using the selected DNA fragment and gold nanoparticles. Its limit of detection (LOD) for paraquat is 2.76 nM, which is more sensitive than the aptasensor with long-length aptamer (LOD = 12.98 nM). The developed aptasensor shows the selectivity to paraquat, but not to other tested herbicides; ametryn, atrazine, difenzoquat, 2,4-D-dimethyl ammonium, and glufosinate. The recovery rates of paraquat detection in the spiked soil samples were in a range of 99.5%-105.1%, with relative standard deviation values of <4%. The developed aptasensor was used to screen for paraquat residues in agricultural soils, and three out of 23 soil samples were tested positive for paraquat, which was confirmed by a high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. These results suggested the potential application of the developed aptasensor to detect paraquat residues in agricultural sites.

Abstract
This work presents the first development of an all-steps-in-one test kit for the determination of paraquat in natural water, and vegetable and agricultural samples. A handheld photometer incorporated with a magnetic stirrer was used to complete the steps of extraction, mixing, and detection. Paraquat produces a blue free radical ion via a reduction with sodium dithionite in alkaline conditions. Sodium dithionite powder was investigated for the enhancement of reagent stability duration, which was added directly into sample solution that showed insignificant difference in sensitivity as compared with that of the solution format of sodium dithionite. The developed test kit showed good performance with the linear calibration of 0.5 to 10 mg L−1 with a high coefficient of determination (r2 = 0.9947). The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ = 3SD of intercept per slope) carried out from the method using the handheld photometer was 0.50 mg L−1. The limit of detection (LOD) by naked eye was 0.30 mg L−1. The recovery study was acceptable in the range of 101–115%. Intraday (n = 3) and interday (n = 3) precision was less than 1%. On the basis of the significance test at the 95% confidence interval, quantitative results of the developed test kit agreed well with those from high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating an online extraction for vegetables incorporated into a test kit, applicable for on-site analysis. Single-point calibration based on the Beer–Lambert law also demonstrated the measurement of paraquat. In testing with a nominal standard solution of 5.00 mg L−1 paraquat, the reading concentration was 5.09 ± 0.03 mg L−1 paraquat (n = 20) with a K value of 0.0967 (close to the slope of multipoint calibration). This research is a direct benefit to agricultural products and the health of a population for the analysis of pesticides and herbicides.

Abstract
The contamination of paraquat in vegetables is widely connected with human health risks, leading to the research interest in developing a paraquat sensing system. This work reports a simple detection method of paraquat based on the electrostatic interaction of paraquat and the negatively charged gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), resulting in the changes of colors from red to blue and the shifting of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peaks of AuNPs. The limit of detection concentration (CLOD ) of this system was 100 μM paraquat. Moreover, among eight cationic salts tested, NaCl was selective to enhance the detection sensitivity of the system, resulting in the reduction of CLOD to 0.10 μM. This system selectively detected paraquat, but not other tested herbicides (ametryn, atrazine, glyphosate, and 2,4-D-dimethyl ammonium). The paraquat-spiking experiment in kale demonstrated the significant recovery rate of paraquat at 96.0-103.0%, and the relative standard deviations were less than 4%. The developed system was efficient for screening contaminated paraquat in vegetables under unwashed and washed conditions. Three out of five unwashed vegetables had a significant level of paraquat as determined by LSPR values. These results suggested the potential application of this system for a simple screening of contaminated paraquat in vegetables. Simple paraquat-screening system was developed based on the negatively charged gold nanoparticles. The limit of paraquat detection of this system was 0.10 μM. This system was potentially used for a simple screening of contaminated paraquat in vegetables.
