Abstract
This study presents a novel approach for the detection of carbofuran (CBF) insecticide by systematically exploring a calix[4]arene-derived fluorescence probe, CouC4S, functionalized with two coumarin-labelled cystamine linkages at the narrow edge of the calix[4]arene platform. The proposed method showed a fluorescence "signal - off" effect when CBF binds with CouC4S by quenching the fluorescence intensity of CouC4S. Its limit of detection was as low as 5.55 μM according to the emission study. The working concentration range for this ligand was observed to be up to 5-65 μM. This method could be applied for the on-spot detection of CBF in real samples such as cabbage by spiking CBFvia in situ experiments, which exhibited a limit of detection of 8.823 ppm. For the further confirmation of CouC4S:CBF binding, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, powder X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy, 1H NMR titration, MALDI-TOF and computational investigations were carried out.

Abstract
Colorimetric assays rely on detecting colour changes to measure the concentration of target molecules. Paper substrates are commonly used for the detection of biomarkers due to their availability, porous structure, and capillarity. However, the morphological and mechanical properties of paper, such as fibre diameter, pore size, and tensile strength, cannot be easily tuned to meet the specific requirements of colorimetric sensors, including liquid capacity and reagent immobilisation. As an alternative to paper materials, biodegradable polymeric membranes made of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) fibres can provide various tunable properties related to fibre diameter and pore size.We aimed to obtain a glucose sensor substrate for colorimetric sensing using electrospinning with PCL. A feeding solution was created by mixing PCL/chloroform and 3,3',5',5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)/ethanol solutions. This solution was electrospun to fabricate a porous membrane composed of microfibres consist of PCL and TMB. The central area of the membrane was made hydrophilic through air plasma treatment, and it was subsequently functionalized with a solution containing glucose oxidase, horseradish peroxidase, and trehalose.The sensing areas were evaluated by measuring colour changes in glucose solutions of varying concentrations. The oxidation reactions of glucose and TMB in sensor substrates were recorded and analysed to establish the correlation between different glucose concentrations and colour changes. For comparison, conventional paper substrates prepared with same parameters were evaluated alongside the electrospun PCL substrates. As a result, better immobilization of reagents and higher sensitivity of glucose were achieved with PCL substrates, indicating their potential usage as a new sensing substrate for bioassays.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions, i.e., copper(II) (Cu(II)), are harmful to the environment and our health. The current research established an eco-friendly and efficient metal-sensitive indicator, which can identify Cu(II) ions in both liquid and solid forms, by utilizing anthocyanin extract obtained from jambolao fruit (Syzgium cumini) that is incorporated within bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BCNF).The CIE Lab color parameters demonstrated that Cu(II) binding causes a sensible change in color. It was observed that the visible color altered with an increase in the Cu(II) concentration. The bacterial cellulose nanofibers that were altered with anthocyanin were analyzed using ATR-FTIR and FESEM. The sensor's selectivity was tested by using a range of metal ions such as lead (Pb2+), cobalt (Co2+), cadmium (Cd2+), nickel (Ni2+), aluminium (Al3+), barium (Ba2+), manganese (Mn2+), zinc (Zn2+), mercury (Hg2+) and sodium (Na+). The findings demonstrated that the suggested sensor showed excellent selectivity toward Cu(II) ion. Cu(II) can be accurately identified using the sensing technique, with detection limits ranging from 10-400 ppm and 50-500 ppm for liquid and solid samples, respectively, and through observation with naked eye. The fabricated green metallochromic sensor is promising to be a simple, cheap, mobile and easily operable for the real-time and on-site detection of Cu(II) ion.

Abstract
The environment and our health are negatively impacted by heavy metal ions, like Cu(II). The present study developed a green and effective metallochromic sensor that detects copper (Cu(II)) ions in solution and solid state using anthocyanin extract from black eggplant peels embedded in bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BCNF). Cu(II) is quantitatively detected by the sensing method with detection limits between 10-400 ppm and 20-300 ppm in solution and solid state, respectively. In the solution state, we depicted a sensor for Cu(II) ions in aqueous matrices in the pH range from 3.0 to 11.0, with the capability to produce a visual color change from brown to light blue and dark blue depending on the Cu(II) concentration. Additionally, BCNF-ANT film can act as a sensor for Cu(II) ions in the pH range of 4.0-8.0. Neutral pH was selected from the standpoint of high selectivity. It was found that visible color changed when Cu(II) concentration was increased. Bacterial cellulose nanofibers modified with anthocyanin were characterized with ATR-FTIR and FESEM. Various metal ions, including Pb2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Al3+, Ba2+, Hg2+, Mg2+, and Na+, were used to challenge the sensor to determine its selectivity. Anthocyanin solution and BCNF-ANT sheet were employed in the actual tap water sample successfully. The results also clarified that the various foreign ions did not significantly interfere with Cu(II) ions detection at optimum conditions. Compared to previously developed sensors, no electronic components, trained personnel, or sophisticated equipment were needed to apply the colorimetric sensor developed in this research. Cu(II) contamination in food matrices and water can be monitored on-site easily.

Abstract
Verbascoside is isolated from the whole plants of the Verbenaceae family and demonstrates significant levels of bioactivity. In this work, we report on the isolation of verbascoside, a phenolic glycoside, from the stems of Clerodendrum inerme collected in Vietnam and verify its structure by comparing its spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature. Verbascoside is then applied as a monomer for the electrochemical deposition of a layer of polyverbascoside onto glassy carbon electrodes toward Cu2+ sensing. Electrochemical results demonstrate that the polyverbascoside-modified glassy carbon electrode is highly selective for Cu2+ ions compared to other evaluated ions including Ni2+ and Co2+. The developed sensor can detect Cu2+ in a concentration range from 0 to 175 μM with a sensitivity of 0.372 µA µM−1 and a limit of detection of 50 nM Cu2+ ions.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a new type of SERS probe, which was composed of glass-SiO2-Au@MBN@Ag nanoparticles (NPs) three-dimensional Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate. When the laser passed through the quartz glass sheet, on the one hand, the SiO2 NPs supporting the Au@MBN@Ag NPs increase the roughness of the substrate surface, resulting in a large number of hot spots among nanoparticles. On the other hand, based on the focusing effect of silicon dioxide nanospheres, the laser can better focus on the surface of nanoparticles in the inverted SERS probe, thus showing better SERS enhancement. Furthermore, the Au@MBN@Ag NPs core-shell structure was used with 4-mercaptobenzoonitrile (MBN) as an internal standard molecule, and the quantitative determination of tyrosine and urea was realized by internal standard correction method. The standard working curves of the two had good linear correlation with R2 above 0.9555. The detection limits of tyrosine and urea were in the range of 2.85 × 10−10 M~7.54 × 10−6 M, which confirms that this design can be used for quantitative and specific detection of biological molecules, demonstrating great practical significance for the research of diseases such as skin lesions and endocrine disorders.

Abstract
Amino acids have become the most important part of the human biological system due to their roles in the living processes. Role of amino acids stretches beyond their traditional role as a building block for proteins, deficiency of the same could lead to decreased immunity, digestive problems, depression, fertility issues, lower mental alertness, slowed growth in children, and many other health issues. The acute detection of amino acids is necessary to determine the human health domain. Here in this review, we summarize and study the calixarenes as a complex detailed being of an immeasurable value and its utilization for the amino acids' detection. The key factors responsible such as noncovalent forces, LOD and supramolecular chemistry of calixarenes with amino acids are described well. This study presents the most recent efforts made for the development of potential and highly efficient calixarene based sensors for the detection of amino acids.

In the recent era, carbon dots (C-dots) have been extensively considered as a potential tool in drug delivery analysis. However, there have been fewer reports in the literature on their application in the sensing of amino acids. As part of our ongoing research on coconut-husk-derived C-dots, we synthesized C-dots under different temperature conditions and utilized them in the field of amino acid sensing and found them to be highly selective and sensitive towards tyrosine. The detailed characterization of the prepared C-dots was carried out. The developed C-dots exhibit good values of quantum yield. BSA, HSA and glutamic acid were utilized to explore the binding efficiency of C-dots with biologically active components. Hemolysis, blood clotting index activity and cell viability assays using the prepared C-dots were evaluated and they were found to be biocompatible. Therefore, the C-dots described in this work have high potential to be utilized in the field of amino acid sensing, especially L-tyrosine. The limit of detection and the binding constant for the developed C-dots in the presence of tyrosine were found to be 0.96 nM and 296.38 nM-1, respectively. The efficiency of the developed C-dots was also investigated in the presence of various other amino acids and different water mediums in order to enhance the working scope of the developed sensors.

Abstract
Paper has become one of the most promising substrates for building low-cost and powerful sensing platforms due to its self-pumping ability and compatibility with multiple patterning methods. Paper-based sensors have been greatly developed in the field of environmental monitoring. In this review, we introduced the research and application of paper-based sensors in environmental monitoring, focusing on the deposition and patterning methods of building paper-based sensors, and summarized the applications of detecting environmental pollutants, including metal ions, anions, explosives, neurotoxins, volatile organic compounds, and small molecules. In addition, the development prospects and challenges of promoting paper-based sensors are also discussed. The current review will provide references for the construction of portable paper-based sensors, and has implications for the field of on-site real-time detection of the environment.

Abstract
In this study, a simple Benzimidazole based bifunctional chemosensor 4-(2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-6-yl) benzene-1,2-diamine, L was synthesized and characterized. The sensor proved to be selective and sensitive towards detecting banned azo dyes Sudan Dye I, II, and Metanil Yellow via fluorescence turn-off response. The proposed mechanism of fluorescence quenching was the inner filter effect. LODs for Sudan I, II, and Metanil Yellow were found to be 0.009 µM, 0.012 µM, and 0.0073 µM, respectively. The developed chemosensor also showed a colorimetric response towards Cu (II) ions via an apparent color change from yellow to pink. LOD for Cu (II) ions was found to be 1.2 µM. The synthesized benzimidazole based bifunctional chemosensor was adequately tested to determine Sudan I in Red chili powder and red Food color samples, Metanil yellow in turmeric powder, and Cu(II) packaged coconut water.

Abstract
Bioanalyses are commonly performed with blood or serum samples. However, these analyses often require invasive and painful blood collection using a needle or finger pricking. Saliva is an alternative and very attractive biological medium for performing clinical analyses, since it contains many types of clinically relevant biomarkers and compounds. Its collection is straightforward and can be achieved in a non-invasive and stress-free way. However, the analytes are frequently present at low concentrations, while the viscosity of whole saliva hinders its analysis using paper devices, especially those with multiple layers (3D-μPADs). This work explores the use of a simple, fast, and low-cost saliva sample pretreatment using a cotton-paper-syringe filtration system, allowing the analysis of saliva samples using multilayer paper devices. The proposed methodology employs the oxidation of glucose and lactate, catalyzed by specific oxidase enzymes, producing hydrogen peroxide. The detection is based on the fluorescence quenching of carbon dots in the presence of hydrogen peroxidase. The concentrations of the analytes showed good linear correlations with the fluorescence quenching, with LODs of 2.60 × 10-6 and 8.14 × 10-7 mol L-1 for glucose and lactate, respectively. The proposed method presented satisfactory intra-day and inter-day repeatabilities, with %RSD values in the range 3.82-6.61%. The enzymatic systems proved to be specific for the analytes and the matrix had no significant influence on the glucose and lactate determinations. The proposed methodology was successfully applied to saliva and serum samples and was validated using certified material.

Abstract
This work demonstrated the feasibility of applying the Schiff base 5-bromo-2-salicyl-beta-alanine as a colorimetric chemosensor for the spectrophotometric quantification of the copper content in artisanal cachaças. For this, the experimental conditions were optimized to obtain an efficient, sensitive, reversible, and highly selective chemosensor to Cu2+ ions. The complex stoichiometry was 1:1, with a formation constant of 5.82 × 102 L mol-1 and molar absorptivity of 5.82 × 103 mol L-1 cm-1. Then, a spectrophotometric analytical method was developed and validated according to the Brazilian legislation. The linearity of the analytical curve was demonstrated by ANOVA, at a confidence level of 95%. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.0659 and 0.200 mg L-1, respectively. The coefficients of variation for both the intra- and inter-day precisions were lower than 3.83%, and the accuracy presented a mean recovery of 100.55 ± 2.87%. The absence of a matrix effect was confirmed by the standard addition method, and the copper content in three artisanal cachaças from different geographical origins was estimated as lower than 2.93 mg L-1. This result was in accordance with the Brazilian legislation but reinforces the need to carry out stricter quality control to achieve exportation standards. Therefore, the proposed method can be considered a simple, selective, linear, precise, and accurate tool that involves only a simple complexation reaction through the addition of the chemosensor solution in a buffered medium. As a consequence, the simplicity, practicality, rapidity, and low cost of synthesis of the proposed Schiff base chemosensor are highlighted.

Abstract
The aromatic amino acid tyrosine is an essential precursor for the synthesis of catecholamines, including l-DOPA, tyramine, and dopamine. A number of metabolic disorders have been linked to abnormal tyrosine levels in biological fluids. In this study, we developed an enzyme cascade-triggered colorimetric reaction for the detection of tyrosine, based on the formation of yellow pigment (betalamic acid) and red fluorometric betaxanthin. Tyrosinase converts tyrosine to l-DOPA, and DOPA-dioxygenase catalyzes oxidative cleavage of l-DOPA into betalamic acid. Response is linear for tyrosine from 5 to 100 μM, and the detection limit (LOD) is 2.74 μM. The enzyme cascade reaction was applied to monitor tyrosinase activity and tyrosinase inhibition assays. Lastly, the performance of the proposed biosensor proved successful in the analysis of urine samples without the need for pre-treatment.
