Abstract
Small molecules are significant risk factors for causing food safety issues, posing serious threats to human health. Sensitive screening for hazards is beneficial for enhancing public security. However, traditional detection methods are unable to meet the requirements for the field screening of small molecules. Therefore, it is necessary to develop applicable methods with high levels of sensitivity and specificity to identify the small molecules. Aptamers are short-chain nucleic acids that can specifically bind to small molecules. By utilizing aptamers to enhance the performance of recognition technology, it is possible to achieve high selectivity and sensitivity levels when detecting small molecules. There have been several varieties of aptamer target recognition techniques developed to improve the ability to detect small molecules in recent years. This review focuses on the principles of detection platforms, classifies the conjugating methods between small molecules and aptamers, summarizes advancements in aptamer-based conjugate recognition techniques for the detection of small molecules in food, and seeks to provide emerging powerful tools in the field of point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
This work reports the development and application of a highly selective core@shell-based quantum dot-molecularly imprinted polymer (QD@MIP) sensor for the detection of sulfadiazine (SDZ)-an antibiotic which belongs to the sulfonamide family. The synthesis of the smart material or MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer) was carried out by a precipitation method directly on the quantum dot surface, which played the role of a fluorescent probe in the optical sensor. The synthesized polymer was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Fluorescence experiments were performed in order to evaluate the effects of pH, interaction time of the QD@MIP with the analyte and SDZ concentration in different matrices. Under optimized conditions, a linear concentration range of 10.0-60.0 ppm and a limit of detection of 3.33 ppm were obtained. The repeatability and reproducibility of the proposed QD@MIP were evaluated in terms of the RSD, where RSD values of less than 5% were obtained in both tests. Selectivity studies were carried out in the presence of four possible interfering substances with quenching properties, and the signals obtained for these interferents confirmed the excellent selectivity of the proposed sensor; the imprinting factor value obtained for SDZ was 1.64. Finally, the proposed sensor was applied in real animal-based food samples using a spiked concentration of SDZ, where the recovery values obtained were above 90% (experiments were performed in triplicate).

Abstract
As an antibody-free sensing membrane for the detection of the antibiotic tetracycline (TC), a liquid PVC membrane doped with the ion-pair tetracycline/θ-shaped anion [3,3'-Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2]- ([o-COSAN]-) was formulated and deposited on a SWCNT modified gold microelectrode. The chosen transduction technique was electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The PVC membrane was composed of: the tetracycline/[o-COSAN]- ion-pair, a plasticizer. A detection limit of 0.3 pg/L was obtained with this membrane, using bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate as a plasticizer. The sensitivity of detection of tetracycline was five times higher than that of oxytetracycline and of terramycin, and 22 times higher than that of demeclocycline. A shelf-life of the prepared sensor was more than six months and was used for detection in spiked honey samples. These results open the way to having continuous monitoring sensors with a high detection capacity, are easy to clean, avoid the use of antibodies, and produce a direct measurement.

Abstract
Tetracyclines (TCs) prevent the growth of peptide chains and the synthesis of proteins, and they are widely used to inhibit Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. For the detection of tetracyclines in cell and in vitro, a convenient and simple detection system based on nitrogen-doped cyan carbon quantum dots (C-CQDs) was developed. C-CQDs have excellent excitation-independent properties, the best optimal excitation peak is 360 nm and the best emission peak is 480 nm. Based on the inner filter effect (IFE), the fluorescence intensity of C-CQDs in solution decreases with the increase of tetracyclines. In the range of 0-100 μM, C-CQDs present a good linear relationship with three tetracyclines (CTC, TET, OCT), with R 2 all greater than 0.999. C-CQDs can detect tetracycline in milk samples with recovery in the range of 98.2-103.6%, which demonstrates their potential and broad application in real samples. Furthermore, C-CQDs exhibit excellent lysosomal targeting, as indicated by a Pearson's coefficient of 0.914 and an overlap of 0.985. The internalisation of C-CQDs was mainly affected by lipid raft-mediated endocytosis in endocytic pathway experiments. These experiments indicate that C-CQDs can be effectively used to detect TC content and target lysosomes as an alternative to commercial dyes.

Abstract
Controlling food safety and preventing the growing spread of antibiotics into food products have been challenging problems for the protection of human health. Hence, the development of easy-to-use, fast, and sensitive analytical methods for the detection of antibiotics in food products has become one of the priorities in the food industry. In this paper, an electrochemical platform based on the ssDNA aptamer for the selective detection of tetracycline has been proposed. The aptasensor is based on a thiolated aptamer, labelled with ferrocene, which has been covalently co-immobilized onto a gold electrode surface with 6-mercaptohexan-1-ol. The changes in the redox activity of ferrocene observed on the aptamer-antibiotics interactions have been the basis of analytical signal generation registered by square-wave voltammetry. Furthermore, the detection of tetracycline-spiked cow milk samples has been successfully demonstrated. The limits of detection (LODs) have been obtained of 0.16 nM and 0.20 nM in the buffer and spiked cow milk, respectively, which exceed the maximum residue level (225 nM) more than 1000 times. The proposed aptasensor offers high selectivity for tetracycline against other structurally related tetracycline derivatives. The developed biosensor characterized by simplicity, a low detection limit, and high reliability shows practical potential for the detection of tetracycline in animal-origin milk.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. When humans consume too much food containing tetracycline residues, it can be a serious health hazard. Therefore, it is essential to develop a strategy to detect TC. In this study, we prepared light blue-green luminescent nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) by a hydrothermal method using the natural products potato straight-chain starch and urea as precursors; the fluorescence quantum yield of the prepared N-GQDs was 5.2%. We investigated the detection of tetracycline (TC) by this N-GQD fluorescent sensor based on the internal filtration effect (IFE) of TC on N-GQDs. The reaction is green, simple and no other contaminating products are present. A good linear relationship was established between the relative fluorescence intensity ratio of the system and the logarithm of the TC concentration of 2.5 × 10−10 to 5 × 10−6 M (R2 = 0.9930), with a detection limit of 9.735 × 10−13 M. The method has been used to analyze TC in three real food samples (whole milk, skim milk, honey) with low detection limits (3.750 × 10−11 to 2.075 × 10−9 M), wide linear range, and satisfactory recoveries of 93.80–109.20% were obtained. In conclusion, the proposed method is a green, rapid, highly sensitive and selective method for the detection of tetracycline in real food samples, demonstrating the potential application of N-GQDs in food detection. Tetracycline (TC) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic.![]()

Abstract
In this study, a highly specific and sensitive monoclonal antibody (mAb) against quinclorac (Qui) was prepared. Based on the selected mAb, 2G3, an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) and an immunochromatographic strip assay were established for the detection of Qui in actual samples. The 50%-inhibitory concentration of mAb 2G3 against Qui was 48.763 ng mL-1. No cross-reaction with other quinolines indicated that mAb 2G3 had high specificity. The recovery of the established ic-ELISA method was in the range of 85.6% to 98.9%. The cut-off value of Qui in cucumber and tomato by immunochromatographic strip was 200 ng g-1. The analysis results of ic-ELISA and immunochromatographic strip assay were consistent with the results of LC-MS/MS, which further proved that the established ic-ELISA and immunochromatographic strip assay could provide valuable tools for the rapid detection of Qui residues in cucumber and tomato samples.

Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (M. gallisepticum) is the primary agent of chronic respiratory disease causing important economic losses in the poultry industry. Compared to antibodies, aptamers used to diagnose M. gallisepticum have many advantages, such as being chemically, animal-free produced and easily modifiable without affecting their affinity. Herein, a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer Apt-236 which can specifically bind to PvpA protein of M. gallisepticum with a Kd of 1.30 ± 0.18 nM was selected successfully. An indirect blocking ELAA (ib-ELAA) for M. gallisepticum antibodies detection was also developed using Apt-236, in which M. gallisepticum antibodies would block the binding-position of aptamers. Therefor positive sera would prevent color development whereas negative sera will allow a strong color reaction. The ib-ELAA was consistent with other three widely used assays in terms of the growth and decline of the antibody response to M. gallisepticum, and showed substantial agreement with the results obtained using a commercial ELISA kit in clinical chicken sera samples. Therefore, the ib-ELAA developed in this study was a new format for aptamer application and would be an alternative method for the surveillance of M. gallisepticum.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe based on sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) was fabricated for sensitive and selective detection of tetracycline (TC) in milk samples. The blue emitting SQDs were synthesized via a top–down method with assistance of H2O2. The synthesized SQDs showed excellent monodispersity, water solubility and fluorescence stability, with a quantum yield (QY) of 6.30%. Furthermore, the blue fluorescence of the obtained SQDs could be effectively quenched in the presence of TC through the static quenching effect (SQE) and inner filter effect (IFE) between TC and SQDs. Under the optimum conditions, a rapid detection of TC could be accomplished within 1 min and a wide linear range could be obtained from 0.1 to 50.0 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 28.0 nM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Finally, the SQD-based fluorescent probe was successfully applied for TC determination in milk samples with satisfactory recovery and good relative standard deviation (RSD). These results indicate that the SQD-based fluorescent probe shows great potential in practical analysis of TC in real samples with high rapidity, selectivity, and sensitivity. A SQD-based fluorescent probe was applied to detect TC based on the inner filter effect (IFE) and static quenching effect (SQE) without any extra surface modification for the first time.![]()

Advances and perspectives of aptasensors for the detection of tetracyclines: A class of model compounds of food analysis. Food Chem 2021; 364:130361. [PMID: 34153597 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.130361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Revised: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
The residual tetracyclines in food are frequently applied as the model compounds to develop aptasensors. Until now, more than 100 advanced aptasensors towards tetracyclines have been developed and published in English. This review summarizes and discusses comprehensively these advanced aptasensors, in terms of the principle designs, applied frontier transducers/materials, working performance, and advantages/disadvantages. The aptasensors are classified according to the inherent transduction techniques, i.e., optics, optics-electricity, optics-mass, and electricity-mass. Moreover, the present challenges such as the limited specificity and limited affinity of the aptamers, the future prospects and trends such as further combination with other advanced materials and technologies, and the urgent need of expanding the practical application were discussed and prospected. We hope this review can serve as a powerful tool for both tracing the development progresses of aptasensors and providing adequate references for further development of aptasensing methods for food-related analytes.

Abstract
Aptamers are small nucleic acids that fold in a three-dimensional conformation allowing them to bind specifically to a target. This target can be an organic molecule, free or carried in cells or tissues, or inorganic components, such as metal ions. Analogous to monoclonal antibodies, aptamers however have certain advantages over the latter: e.g., high specificity for their target, no to low immunogenicity and easy in vitro selection. Since their discovery more than 30 years ago, aptamers have led to various applications, although mainly restricted to basic research. This work reviews the applications of aptamers in veterinary science to date. First, we present aptamers, how they are selected and their properties, then we give examples of applications in food and environmental safety, as well as in diagnosis and medical treatment in the field of veterinary medicine. Because examples of applications in veterinary medicine are scarce, we explore the potential avenues for future applications based on discoveries made in human medicine. Aptamers may offer new possibilities for veterinarians to diagnose certain diseases—particularly infectious diseases—more rapidly or “at the patient’s bedside”. All the examples highlight the growing interest in aptamers and the premises of a potential market. Aptamers may benefit animals as well as their owners, breeders and even public health in a “One Health” approach.

Abstract
Recently, there has been a growing demand to develop portable devices for the fast detection of contaminants in food safety, healthcare, and environmental fields. Herein, two biosensing methods were designed by the use of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAD(P)H)-dependent TetX2 enzyme activity and thionine as an excellent electrochemical and colorimetric mediator/probe to monitor tetracycline (TC) in milk. The nanoporous glassy carbon electrode (NPGCE) modified with polythionine was first prepared by electrochemically and then TetX2 was immobilized onto the NPGCE using polyethyleneimine. The prepared biosensor provided a high electrocatalytic response toward NAD(P)H by significantly reducing its overpotential. The proposed biosensor exhibited a detection limit of 40 nM with a linear range of 0.1-0.8 μM for TC determination. Besides, the thionine probe was used to develop a novel colorimetric assay using a simple enzymatic color reaction within a few minutes. The limit of detection for TC was experimentally achieved as 60 nM, which was lower than the safety levels established by the World Health Organization (225 nM). The correlation between change in the color of the solution and the concentration of TC was used for quality control of milk samples, as confirmed by the standard high-performance liquid chromatography method. The results show the great potential of the proposed assays as portable instruments for on-site TC measurements.

Abstract
A novel rapid and sensitive fluorescence probe based on silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) fluorescence was fabricated for selective detection of tetracyclines (TCs) residues. Si QDs were innovatively prepared via facile One-Pot Solvent-Free Method and characterized by TEM, FT-IR, UV absorption, fluorescence, XPS and XRD. In aqueous solution, Cu2+ and Si QDs complexed together and the fluorescence of Si QDs quenched (static quenching) to a certain extent. TCs can be early in binding to Cu2+ and prevent Si QDs fluorescence quenching. As a consequence, quantitative screening of TCs can be achieved. The assay is highly selective for TCs. Represented by chlortetracycline (CTC), a member of TCs, under optimized conditions, good linear relationship in the range of 11.32-1086.72 nM was obtained, and the detection limit (LOD; S/N ratio = 3) of this assay for CTC is 0.92 nM. It was successfully applied to the determination of CTC in spiked bee honey and total TCs in actual honey samples. And the evaluation of selectivity, reproducibility and stability of the probe were favorable. These results demonstrated that the presented fluorescent probe can be a promising sensing platform for TCs analysis.

Abstract
A label-free fluorescence aptasensor was developed for the rapid detection of tetracycline (TET) based on G-quadruplex structure of TET aptamers and G-quadruplex specific dye Thioflavin T (ThT). The fluorescence of free ThT is essentially weak in aqueous solution, whereas it selectively identifies the G-quadruplex of aptamers to form the G-quadruplex/ThT conjugates, resulting in an enormous increase of the fluorescence intensity. However, the fluorescence intensity of G-quadruplex/ThT conjugates was drastically suppressed due to the release of free ThT from G-quadruplex/ThT conjugates after the addition of TET via specific binding with TET aptamers. The key factors affecting sensitivity and selectivity including the reaction medium, binding time of ThT to TET aptamers, incubation time between TET aptamers and TET, concentration of ThT and TET aptamers were investigated in detail. The optimal conditions were as follows: ultrapure water as reaction medium, binding time of 5 min, incubation time of 1 min, 9.0 μmol/L ThT and 0.03 μmol/L aptamers. A good linear relationship (correlation coefficient of 0.9973) was obtained between the fluorescence quenching efficiency (F0 - F) / F0 and the logarithm of TET concentration in the range of 0.01-1.0 μmol/L. The limit of detection was 0.001 μmol/L (S/N = 3). The proposed assay was applied for the detection of TET in the spiked honey and milk samples with recoveries ranging from 93.5% to 106.9%. The developed label-free fluorescence aptasensor showed advantages of high specificity, low cost and short time-consuming, illustrating potential application for on-site detection of TET in foodstuffs.

Abstract
This paper is a summary of the latest literature on methods for assessing quality of natural bee honey. The publication briefly characterizes methods recommended by the International Honey Commission, published in 2009, as well as newer methods published in the last 10 years. Modern methods of assessing honey quality focus mainly on analyzing markers of individual varieties and classifying them into varieties, using, among others, near infrared spectroscopy techniques (NIR), potentiometric tongue, electronic nose, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), zymography, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA metabarcoding, and chemometric techniques including partial least squares (PLS), principal component analysis (PCA) and artificial neural networks (ANN). At the same time, effective techniques for analyzing adulteration, sugar, and water content, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), polyphenol content, and diastase activity are being sought. Modern techniques enable the results of honey quality testing to be obtained in a shorter time, using the principles of green chemistry, allowing, at the same time, for high precision and accuracy of determinations. These methods are constantly modified, so that the honey that is on sale is a product of high quality. Prospects for devising methods of honey quality assessment include the development of a fast and accurate alternative to the melissopalynological method as well as quick tests to detect adulteration.

Abstract
In this work, a new application of Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (Mn-ZnS QDs) was developed to screen chloramphenicol (CAP) and tetracycline (TC) residues simply and rapidly. Mn-ZnS QDs synthesized by a hydration method and modified by l-cysteine for better stability emit phosphorescence at 583 nm with the excitation wavelength at 289 nm. Based on the overlap of the Mn-ZnS QDs excitation spectra and CAP or TCs ultraviolet spectra, the excited light of the Mn-ZnS QDs was partially absorbed by CAP or TCs owing to the inner-filter effect (IFE), leading to a decrease in the phosphorescence intensity. The phosphorescence intensities of the samples prepared by mixing different TCs and CAP were in good agreement with the expected results from adding a single antibiotic sample. Therefore, the total molar concentrations of CAP and TCs could be screened based on the linear equation of a single standard substance. Represented by tetracycline (TC), as a member of the tetracycline family, under optimized conditions, showed a good linear relational concentration range over 4 orders of magnitude from 50 to 1.5 × 105 nM with a limit of detection (LOD; S/N ratio = 3) down to 8.6 nM. The phosphorescent sensor was also used to detect total TCs in actual samples successfully. The evaluations of the recovery rate and selectivity were good. These results demonstrated that the presented phosphorescent sensor can be a simple and rapid screening platform for CAP and TCs.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate detection of antibiotics at trace levels in food represents a great challenge. Tetracycline (TC), as a sort of broad-spectrum antibiotic, has been extensively used in animal infection therapy and animal husbandry as growth promoters. Large amounts of TC residues in animal-derived foods affect food quality and safety, and cause undesirable side effects such as allergic reactions and bacterial antibiotic resistance. Here, a Raman fingerprint strip sensor was reported based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering technology and demonstrated for ultrasensitive detection of TC. In this approach, 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) modified gold nanostars (GNSs) were used as a strong Raman reporter, which was coated with anti-TC monoclonal antibody serving as a biorecognition to acquire both visual and Raman signals on the test line. To demonstrate the performance of this strip, TC standard solutions with concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 50 ng/mL was detected, the limit of the detection (LOD) for the Raman signal was 0.04 ng/mL, which was 100 times more sensitive than those of color intensity quantifications. The other analogues, oxytetracycline, and chlortetracycline were detected using this method, making them suitable for the samples with TC analogues screening.

Abstract
Tetracycline residue in honey has become an increasingly important food safety problem. In this work, an ultrasensitive gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-linked aptamer assay was developed to determine the tetracycline residue in honey. First, a tetracycline–bovine serum albumin conjugate coating was applied to a microplate. Then, with the incubation of AuNPs-linked aptamer, the fixed tetracycline in the microplate competed for the limited aptamer with the free tetracycline in the sample. Higher amounts of free tetracycline in the sample were associated with more competitive binding of aptamer-AuNPs, and the aptamer-AuNPs binding with tetracycline-BSA was lower. Finally, as a kind of nanozyme, AuNPs exhibited peroxidase activity and oxidized 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine, transforming it from colorless to blue, and achieving the measurement at 652 nm. The analytical performance—including linearity, limit of detection, selectivity, precision, repeatability, and accuracy—has been investigated. It was successfully applied to the determination of tetracycline in honey samples with high accuracy and sensitivity.

Abstract
The presence of antimicrobial residues in food-producing animals can lead to harmful effects on the consumer (e.g., allergies, antimicrobial resistance, toxicological effects) and cause issues in food transformation (i.e., cheese, yogurts production). Therefore, to control antimicrobial residues in food products of animal origin, screening methods are of utmost importance. Microbiological and immunological methods (e.g., ELISA, dipsticks) are conventional screening methods. Biosensors are an innovative solution for the development of more performant screening methods. Among the different kinds of biosensing elements (e.g., antibodies, aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), enzymes), aptamers for targeting antimicrobial residues are in continuous development since 2000. Therefore, this review has highlighted recent advances in the development of aptasensors, which present multiple advantages over immunosensors. Most of the aptasensors described in the literature for the detection of antimicrobial residues in animal-derived food products are either optical or electrochemical sensors. In this review, I have focused on optical aptasensors and showed how nanotechnologies (nanomaterials, micro/nanofluidics, and signal amplification techniques) largely contribute to the improvement of their performance (sensitivity, specificity, miniaturization, portability). Finally, I have explored different techniques to develop multiplex screening methods. Multiplex screening methods are necessary for the wide spectrum detection of antimicrobials authorized for animal treatment (i.e., having maximum residue limits).

A novel fluorescent "turn-on" aptasensor based on nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots and hexagonal cobalt oxyhydroxide nanoflakes to detect tetracycline. Anal Bioanal Chem 2020; 412:1343-1351.

Abstract
In this study, a novel fluorescent "turn-on" aptasensor was developed for sensitive and rapid detection of tetracycline (TC) in animal-derived food. It is based on aptamer-functionalized nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs-aptamer) coupled with cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanoflakes. The CoOOH nanoflakes are efficient fluorescence quenchers in homogeneous solutions, and this is due to their advantages of excellent optical properties, superior flexibility, and water dispersibility. The proposed method's mechanism is driven by quenching based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the donor (N-GQDs) and the acceptor (CoOOH nanoflakes). On the other hand, fluorescence recovery is caused by the structure switching behavior of the aptamer. Compared with previous methods, our developed method exhibits better behavior in terms of being easy to fabricate and being simple in detection procedure and maintains the detection limit low enough in TC determination: a linear range from 1 to 100 ng mL-1 and a detection limit of 0.95 ng mL-1 (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the proposed method was applied to five animal-derived food samples (milk, honey, fish, eggs, and chicken muscle) and demonstrated practical applicability. As well, the method has the advantages of simplicity in pre-treatment and convenience in instruments, saves times, and is cost-effective. Finally, the proposed method demonstrates significant potential for sensitive and rapid detection of specific components in real samples. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
A total of 450 samples consisting of red meat, poultry meat, aquatic product and raw milk were collected during winter 2016 and summer 2017. 22.2% (100/450) of collected meat and raw milk samples were found to be contaminated with antibiotic residues in the initial screening using Premi®test. According to the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results, the mean tetracyclines (TCs) concentration of meat samples determined as follows: chicken (155.41 µg/kg) > turkey (138.68 µg/kg) > quail (130.7 µg/kg) > cow (108.92 µg/kg) > calf (105.18 µg/kg) > goat (99.4 µg/kg) > sheep (95.22 µg/kg) > rainbow trout (35.62 µg/kg) > shrimp (31.80 µg/kg). The content of TCs in cow, goat and sheep milk samples were found to be ranged 45.6-163.5 µg/L, 72.4-101.1 µg/L and 65.5-98.9 µg/L, respectively. 5.7% (26/450) of samples had TCs confirmed the ELISA results using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with ultra-violet detection, although the concentration of TCs residues in samples was higher than that of ELISA.

Abstract
We develop a novel label-free liquid crystal (LC) aptasensor based on intrinsic properties of nematic LCs for ultra-sensitive detection of tetracycline. The aptasensor is assembled by immobilizing aptamers onto the glass slide modified with both homeotropic alignment and silane coupling agents. Designed aptasensor makes use of the target-induced aptamer conformational switching and disruption of the orientation of LCs which lead to an obvious change of the optical appearance from a dark to a bright response. We describe the optimized condition for maintaining the homeotropic orientation of LCs, which are suitable for the tetracycline detection. The average gray-scale intensities of polarizing optical microscopy images were calculated to quantitatively detect tetracycline concentrations. The aptasensor works especially at trace level of tetracycline as low as 0.5 pM. Moreover, the LC aptasensor was successfully used to detect tetracycline in the real milk sample. According to the results, the proposed LC aptasensor for tetracycline detection is simple, ultra-sensitive, label free and ease of preparation.

Abstract
Detection of small molecules with good sensitivity, high throughput, simplicity, and generality using aptamers is desired but still remains challenging. We described an aptamer-structure-switch assay coupled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeling on microplates for sensitive absorbance and chemiluminescence detection of small molecules. This assay relies on competition for affinity binding to a limited HRP-labeled aptamer between small-molecule targets and immobilized short DNA strands complementary to the aptamer (cDNA) on a microplate. In the absence of targets, the HRP-labeled aptamer hybridizes with the cDNA on the microplate, and HRP catalyzes substrate into product, generating absorbance or chemiluminescence signals. The binding of small-molecule targets to aptamers causes displacement of HRP-labeled aptamers from the cDNA and signal decrease. In chemiluminescence-analysis mode, the assay achieved detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) with detection limits of 10 pM, 20 pM, and 20 nM, respectively. This assay does not require enzyme-labeled small molecules or the conjugation of small molecules on solid phase. HRP, as an enzyme label, here allows for easily obtainable and highly active signal amplification. This microplate assay is rapid and promising for high-throughput analysis. It shows potential for wide applications in the detection of small molecules.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is still among the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. Despite the improvements in diagnostic methods, the status of early detection has not been achieved so far. Early diagnosis of gastric cancer may significantly improve the cure rate of patients. Therefore, a new diagnostic method is needed. In this study, subtractive SELEX was performed to screen gastric cancer serum-specific DNA aptamers by using gastric cancer serum and normal serum as the target and negative serum, respectively. Four highly specific aptamers generated for gastric cancer serum, Seq-3, Seq-6, Seq-19 and Seq-54, were developed using whole-serum subtractive SELEX technology with Kd of 128 ± 26.3 nM, 149 ± 23.6 nM, 232 ± 44.2 nM, 202 ± 25.6 nM, respectively. These generated aptamers showed higher specificities toward their target serum by differentiating normal serum but closely related other cancer serums. The selected four high affinity DNA aptamers were further applied to the development based on qPCR method for the early detection of gastric cancer. In addition, we performed MALDI-TOF MS followed by secondary peptide sequencing MS analysis for the identification of the aptamer binding proteins. Among these potential biomarkers, APOA1, APOA4, PARD3, Importin subunit alpha-1 showed a relatively high score probability. Therefore, these four ssDNA aptamers generated in our study could be a promising molecular probe for gastric cancer diagnosis. Gastric cancer is still among the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide.![]()

Abstract
Marine biotoxins distribute widely, have high toxicity, and can be easily accumulated in water or seafood, exposing a serious threat to consumer health. Achieving specific and sensitive detection is the most effective way to prevent emergent issues caused by marine biotoxins; however, the previous detection methods cannot meet the requirements because of ethical or technical drawbacks. Aptamers, a kind of novel recognition element with high affinity and specificity, can be used to fabricate various aptasensors (aptamer-based biosensors) for sensitive and rapid detection. In recent years, an increasing number of aptamers and aptasensors have greatly promoted the development of marine biotoxins detection. In this review, we summarized the recent aptamer-related advances for marine biotoxins detection and discussed their perspectives. Firstly, we summarized the sequences, selection methods, affinity, secondary structures, and the ion conditions of all aptamers to provide a database-like information; secondly, we summarized the reported aptasensors for marine biotoxins, including principles, detection sensitivity, linear detection range, etc.; thirdly, on the basis of the existing reports and our own research experience, we forecast the development prospects of aptamers and aptasensors for marine biotoxins detection. We hope this review not only provides a comprehensive summary of aptamer selection and aptasensor development for marine biotoxins, but also arouses a broad readership amongst academic researchers and industrial chemists.

Abstract
Food safety is a global health objective, and foodborne diseases represent a major crisis in health. Techniques that are simple and suitable for fast screening to detect and identify pathogenic factors in the food chain are vital to ensure food safety. At present, a variety of analytical methods have been reported for the detection of pathogenic agents. Whereas the sensitivity of detection and quantification are still important challenges, we expect major advances from new assay formats and synthetic bio-recognition elements, such as aptamers. Owing to the specific folding capability of aptamers in the presence of an analyte, aptasensors have substantially and successfully been exploited for the detection of a wide range of small and large molecules (e.g., toxins, antibiotics, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses) at very low concentrations. Here, we review the use of aptasensors for the development of highly sensitive and affordable detection tools for food analysis.

Abstract
There is a growing need to monitor anthropogenic organic contaminants detected in water sources. DNA aptamers are synthetic single-stranded oligonucleotides, selected to bind to target contaminants with favorable selectivity and sensitivity. These aptamers can be functionalized and are used with a variety of sensing platforms to develop sensors, or aptasensors. In this critical review, we (1) identify the state-of-the-art in DNA aptamer selection, (2) evaluate target and aptamer properties that make for sensitive and selective binding and sensing, (3) determine strengths and weaknesses of alternative sensing platforms, and (4) assess the potential for aptasensors to quantify environmentally relevant concentrations of organic contaminants in water. Among a suite of target and aptamer properties, binding affinity is either directly (e.g., organic carbon partition coefficient) or inversely (e.g., polar surface area) correlated to properties that indicate greater target hydrophobicity results in the strongest binding aptamers, and binding affinity is correlated to aptasensor limits of detection. Electrochemical-based aptasensors show the greatest sensitivity, which is similar to ELISA-based methods. Only a handful of aptasensors can detect organic pollutants at environmentally relevant concentrations, and interference from structurally similar analogs commonly present in natural waters is a yet-to-be overcome challenge. These findings lead to recommendations to improve aptasensor performance.

Abstract
The authors describe a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based aptasensor for Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs; 35 nm i.d.) were functionalized with the aptamer (ssDNA 1) and used as the capture probe, while smaller (15 nm) AuNPs were modified with a Cy3-labeled complementary sequence (ssDNA 2) and used as the signalling probe. The asymmetric gold nanodimers (AuNDs) were assemblied with the Raman signal probe and the capture probe via hybridization of the complementary ssDNAs. The gap between two nanoparticles is a "hot spot" in which the Raman reporter Cy3 is localized. It experiences a strong enhancement of the electromagnetic field around the particle. After addition of S. typhimurium, it will be bound by the aptamer which therefore is partially dehybridized from its complementary sequence. Hence, Raman intensity drops. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the SERS signal at 1203 cm-1 increases linearly with the logarithm of the number of colonies in the 102 to 107 cfu·mL-1 concentration range, and the limit of detection is 35 cfu·mL-1. The method can be performed within 1 h and was successfully applied to the analysis of spiked milk samples and performed very well and with high specificity. Graphical abstract DNA-assembled asymmetric gold nanodimers (AuNDs) were synthesized and appllied in a SERS-based aptasensor for S. typhimurium. Capture probe was preferentially combined with S. typhimurium and the structure of the AuNDs was destroyed. The "hot spot" vanished partly, this resulting in the decreased Raman intensity of Cy3.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance and, accordingly, their pollution because of uncontrolled usage has emerged as a serious problem in recent years. Hence, there is an increased demand to develop robust, easy, and sensitive methods for rapid evaluation of antibiotics and their residues. Among different analytical methods, the aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have attracted considerable attention because of good selectivity, specificity, and sensitivity. This review gives an overview about recently-developed aptasensors for antibiotic detection. The use of various aptamer assays to determine different groups of antibiotics, like β-lactams, aminoglycosides, anthracyclines, chloramphenicol, (fluoro)quinolones, lincosamide, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides are presented in this paper.
