Abstract
It is of particular importance to develop an effective method that possesses several merits simultaneously of rapid, ultrasensitive, portable, and on-site detection potential for food safety detection. Herein, we propose a clickase-mediated immunoassay based on nanopore and bionic signal labels for the detection of ricin. The introduction of Cu/Cys clickase and nanopore simultaneously effectively addressed the inherent limitations of natural enzymes and colorimetric signal output, respectively. Using this method, bionic signal labels can be easily formed through DNA and Gram-positive bacterial cell wall terminal peptide fragments (labeled by alkynyl and azide, respectively) and vancomycin. Translocation of the D-P@vancomycin through the nanopore generated highly specific oscillation current traces. This method showed a great on-site detection potential and superior analytical performance owing to the combination of the specificity of antibodies, high CuAAC click reaction catalytic efficiency of clickase, ultrasensitivity of the nanopore, and high signal resolution of D-P@vancomycin. Moreover, the practical applicability of the established method was also verified, achieving a limit of detection (LOD) down to 200.9 ag/mL with a wide linear relationship under the optimized conditions. In conclusion, this method is promising for rapid, portable, ultrasensitive, and on-site food safety detection.

Abstract
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), a potent cyanotoxin in freshwater, poses a risk of severe liver damage and other health issues, making its detection vital. However, the detection capabilities of conventional antibodies are constrained, which limited their use in immunoassays. In this work, we designed a new bifunctional nanobody, named A2.3-SBP (comprised of nanobody and streptavidin binding peptide), capable of binding with MC-LR and streptavidin. Based on A2.3-SBP and Fe3O4@Au-Pt nanozyme, we introduced an enzyme-free immunosensor that operated in microplate with colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection modes. The dual-mode assay showed color changes and SERS intensity directly correlating to MC-LR concentrations with a range from 1.0 to 500 ng/mL and a limit of detection of 0.26 and 0.032 ng/mL, respectively. This strategy eliminated the need for complex enzymatic reactions and realized dual-signal detection of MC-LR in 96 water samples (0.03 μg/kg) within 30 min, suggesting its potential in drinking water detection.

Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 260:116436.

Abstract
A mid-infrared label-free immunoassay-based biosensor is an effective device to help identify and quantify biomolecules. This biosensor employs a surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy, which is a highly potent sensing technique for detecting minute quantities of analytes. In this study, a biosensor was constructed using a metamaterial absorber, which facilitated strong coupling effects. For maximum coupling effect, it is necessary to enhance the near-field intensity and the spatial and spectral overlap between the optical cavity resonance and the vibrational mode of the analyte. Due to significant peak splitting, conventional baseline correction methods fail to adequately analyze such a coupling system. Therefore, we employed a coupled harmonic oscillation model to analyze the spectral distortion resulting from the peak splitting induced by the strong coupling effect. The proposed biosensor with a thrombin-binding aptamer-based immunoassay could achieve a limit of detection of 267.4 pM, paving the way for more efficient protein detection in clinical practice.

Abstract
Monitoring health-related biomarkers using fast and facile detection techniques provides key physicochemical information for disease diagnosis or reflects body health status. Among them, electrochemical detection of various bio-macromolecules, e.g., the C-reactive protein (CRP), is of great interest in offering potential diagnosis for acute inflammation caused by infections, heart diseases, etc. Herein, a novel electrochemical aptamer biosensor was constructed from Ti3C2Tx MXene and in-situ reduced Au NPs for thiolated-RNA aptamer immobilization and CRP protein detection using Fc(COOH) as the signal probe. The sensory performances for CRP detection were optimized based on working conditions, including the incubation times and the pH. The large surface area offered by Ti3C2Tx MXene and high electrical conductivity originating from Au NPs endowed the as-fabricated aptamer biosensor with a decent sensitivity for CRP in a wide linear range of 0.05-80.0 ng/mL, good selectivity over interfering substances, and a low detection limit of 0.026 ng/mL. Such aptamer biosensors also detected CRP in serum samples using the spike & recovery method with reasonable recovery rates. The results demonstrated the potential of the as-fabricated electrochemical aptamer biosensor for fast and facile CRP detection in practical applications.

Abstract
The presence of viable pathogenic bacteria in food can lead to serious foodborne diseases, thus posing a risk to human health. Here, we develop a digital rolling circle amplification (dRCA) assay that enables the precise and sensitive quantification of viable foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Directly targeting pathogenic RNAs via a ligation-based padlock probe allows for precisely discriminating viable bacteria from dead one. The one-target-one-amplicon characteristic of dRCA enables high sensitivity and a broad quantitative detection range, conferring a detection limit of 10 CFU/mL and a dynamic range of 6 orders. dRCA can detect rare viable bacteria, even at a proportion as low as 0.1%, which is 50 times more sensitive than the live/dead staining method. The high sensitivity for detecting viable bacteria accommodates dRCA for assessing sterilization efficiency. Based on the assay, we found that, for pasteurization, slightly elevating the temperature to 68 °C can reduce the heating time to 10 min, which may minimize nutrient degradation caused by high-temperature exposure. The assay can serve as a precise tool for estimating the contamination by viable pathogenic bacteria and assessing sterilization, which facilitates food safety control.

Abstract
The real-time monitoring of low-concentration cytokines such as TNF-α in sweat can aid clinical physicians in assessing the severity of inflammation. The challenges associated with the collection and the presence of impurities can significantly impede the detection of proteins in sweat. This issue is addressed by incorporating a nanosphere array designed for automatic sweat transportation, coupled with a reusable sensor that employs a Nafion/aptamer-modified MoS2 field-effect transistor. The nanosphere array with stepwise wettability enables automatic collection of sweat and blocks impurities from contaminating the detection zone. This device enables direct detection of TNF-α proteins in undiluted sweat, within a detection range of 10 fM to 1 nM. The use of an ultrathin, ultraflexible substrate ensures stable electrical performance, even after up to 30 extreme deformations. The findings indicate that in clinical scenarios, this device could potentially provide real-time evaluation and management of patients' immune status via sweat testing.

Abstract
Marine biotoxins are metabolites produced by algae that can accumulate in shellfish or fish and enter organisms through the food chain, posing a serious threat to biological health. Therefore, accurate and rapid detection is an urgent requirement for food safety. Although various detection methods, including the mouse bioassay, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and cell detection methods, and protein phosphatase inhibition assays have been developed in the past decades, the current detection methods cannot fully meet these demands. Among these methods, the outstanding immunoassay virtues of high sensitivity, reliability, and low cost are highly advantageous for marine biotoxin detection in complex samples. In this work, we review the recent 5-year progress in marine biotoxin immunodetection technologies such as optical immunoassays, electrochemical immunoassays, and piezoelectric immunoassays. With the assistance of immunoassays, the detection of food-related marine biotoxins can be implemented for ensuring public health and preventing food poisoning. In addition, the immunodetection technique platforms including lateral flow chips and microfluidic chips are also discussed. We carefully investigate the advantages and disadvantages for each immunoassay, which are compared to demonstrate the guidance for selecting appropriate immunoassays and platforms for the detection of marine biotoxins. It is expected that this review will provide insights for the further development of immunoassays and promote the rapid progress and successful translation of advanced immunoassays with food safety detection.

Abstract
An intelligent colorimetric sensing platform integrated with in situ immunomagnetic separation function was developed for ultrasensitive detection of Escherichia coli O157: H7 (E. coli O157: H7) in food. Captured antibody modified magnetic nanoparticles (cMNPs) and detection antibody/horseradish peroxidase (HRP) co-functionalized AuNPs (dHAuNPs) were firstly synthesized for targeted enrichment and colorimetric assay of E. coli O157: H7, in which remarkable signal amplification was realized by loading large amounts of HRP on the surface of AuNPs. Coupling with the optical collimation attachments and embedded magnetic separation module, a highly integrated optical device was constructed, by which in situ magnetic separation and high-quality imaging of 96-well microplates containing E. coli O157: H7 was achieved with a smartphone. The concentration of E. coli O157: H7 could be achieved in one-step by performing digital image colorimetric analysis of the obtained image with a custom-designed app. This biosensor possesses high sensitivity (1.63 CFU/mL), short detecting time (3 h), and good anti-interference performance even in real-sample testing. Overall, the developed method is expected to be a novel field detection platform for foodborne pathogens in water and food as well as for the diagnosis of infections due to its portability, ease of operation, and high feasibility.

Abstract
Chemical analysis by analytical instrumentation has played a major role in disease diagnosis, which is a necessary step for disease treatment. While the treatment process often targets specific organs or compounds, the diagnostic step can occur through various means, including physical or chemical examination. Chemically, the genome may be evaluated to give information about potential genetic outcomes, the transcriptome to provide information about expression actively occurring, the proteome to offer insight on functions causing metabolite expression, or the metabolome to provide a picture of both past and ongoing physiological function in the body. Mass spectrometry (MS) has been elevated among other analytical instrumentation because it can be used to evaluate all four biological machineries of the body. In addition, MS provides enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, versatility, and speed for rapid turnaround time, qualities that are important for instance in clinical procedures involving the diagnosis of a pediatric patient in intensive care or a cancer patient undergoing surgery. In this review, we provide a summary of the use of MS to evaluate biomarkers for newborn screening and cancer diagnosis. As many reviews have recently appeared focusing on MS methods and instrumentation for metabolite analysis, we sought to describe the biological basis for many metabolomic and additional omics biomarkers used in newborn screening and how tandem MS methods have recently been applied, in comparison to traditional methods. Similar comparison is done for cancer screening, with emphasis on emerging MS approaches that allow biological fluids, tissues, and breath to be analyzed for the presence of diagnostic metabolites yielding insight for treatment options based on the understanding of prior and current physiological functions of the body.

Abstract
Biomimetic methods are invariably employed to synthesize hybrid organic-inorganic multilevel structure nanoflowers with self-assembly processes in aqueous solutions, which is an ideal way to meet the challenges of immobilizing antibodies or enzymes in nanomaterial based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (nano-ELISA). In this study, we developed protein-inorganic hybrid 3D nanoflowers composed of bovine serum albumin (BSA), horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (IgG-HRP) and copper(Ⅱ) phosphate (BSA-(IgG-HRP)-Cu3(PO4)2) using a self-assembly biomimetic method. The preparation process avoided the use of any organic solvent and protein immobilization did not require covalent modifications. Additionally, the unique hierarchical structure enhances the thermal and storage stability of HRP. The BSA-(IgG-HRP)-Cu3(PO4)2 hybrid 3D nanoflower was then applied to a nano-ELISA platform for pyridaben detection, achieving a 50% inhibition concentration of 3.90 ng mL-1. The nano-ELISA achieved excellent accuracy for pyridaben detection. Such a novel BSA-(IgG-HRP)-Cu3(PO4)2 hybrid 3D nanoflower provide an excellent reagent for small molecule immunoassay.

Abstract
Some physical phenomena and various chemical substances newly introduced in nanotechnology have allowed scientists to develop valuable devices in the field of food sciences. Regarding such progress, the identification of foodborne pathogenic microorganisms is an imperative subject nowadays. These bacterial species have been found to cause severe health impacts after food ingestion and can result in high mortality in acute cases. The rapid detection of foodborne bacterial species at low concentrations is in high demand in recent diagnostics. CRISPR/Cas-mediated biosensors possess the potential to overcome several challenges in classical assays such as complex pretreatments, long turnaround time, and insensitivity. Among them, colorimetric nanoprobes based on the CRISPR strategy afford promising devices for POCT (point-of-care testing) since they can be visualized with the naked eye and do not require diagnostic apparatus. In this study, we briefly classify and discuss the working principles of the different CRISPR/Cas protein agents that have been employed in biosensors so far. We assess the current status of the CRISPR system, specifically focusing on colorimetric biosensing platforms. We discuss the utilization of each Cas effector in the detection of foodborne pathogens and examine the restrictions of the existing technology. The challenges and future opportunities are also indicated and addressed.

Abstract
Ensuring a rapid and accurate identification of harmful bacteria is crucial in various fields including environmental monitoring, food safety, and clinical diagnostics. Conventional detection methods often suffer from limitations such as long analysis time, complexity, and the need for qualified personnel. Therefore, a lot of research effort is devoted to developing technologies with the potential to revolutionize the detection of pathogenic bacteria by offering rapid, sensitive, and user-friendly platforms for point-of-care analysis. In this light, biosensors have gained significant commercial attention in recent years due to their simplicity, portability, and rapid analysis capabilities. The purpose of this review is to identify a trend by analyzing which biosensor technologies have become commercially successful in the field of bacteria detection. Moreover, we highlight the characteristics that a biosensor must possess to finally arrive in the market and therefore in the hands of the end-user, and we present critical examples of the market applications of various technologies. The aim is to investigate the reason why certain technologies have achieved commercial success and extrapolate these trends to the future economic viability of a new subfield in the world of biosensing: the development of biomimetic sensor platforms. Therefore, an overview of recent advances in the field of biomimetic bacteria detection will be presented, after which the challenges that need to be addressed in the coming years to improve market penetration will be critically evaluated. We will zoom into the current shortcomings of biomimetic sensors based on imprinting technology and aptamers and try to come up with a recommendation for further development based on the trends observed from previous commercial success stories in biosensing.

Abstract
Simultaneous sensitive and precise determination of multibiomarkers is of great significance for improving detection efficiency, reducing diagnosis and treatment expenses, and elevating survival rates. However, the development of simple and portable biosensors for simultaneous determination of multiplexed targets in biological fluids still faces challenges. Herein, a unique and versatile immobilization-free dual-target electrochemical biosensing platform, which combines distinguishable magnetic signal reporters with buoyancy-magnetism separation, was designed and constructed for simultaneous detection of carcinoembryonic (CEA) and α-fetoprotein (AFP) in intricate biological fluids. To construct such distinguishable magnetic signal reporters with signal transduction, amplification, and output, secondary antibodies of CEA and AFP were respectively functionalized on methylene blue (MB) and 6-(ferrocenyl)hexanethiol (FeC) modified Fe3O4@Au magnetic nanocomposites. Meanwhile, a multifunctional flotation probe with dual target recognition, capture, and isolation capability was prepared by conjugating primary antibodies (Ab1-CEA, Ab1-AFP) to hollow buoyant microspheres. The target antigens of CEA and AFP can trigger a flotation-mediated sandwich-type immunoreaction and capture a certain amount of the distinguishable magnetic signal reporter, which enables the conversion of the target CEA and AFP quantities to the signal of the potential-resolved MB and FeC. Thus, the MB and FeC currents of magnetically adsorbed distinguishable magnetic reporters can be used to determine the CEA and AFP targets simultaneously and precisely. Accordingly, the proposed strategy exhibited a delightful linear response for CEA and AFP in the range of 100 fg·mL-1-100 ng·mL-1 with detection limits of 33.34 and 17.02 fg·mL-1 (S/N = 3), respectively. Meanwhile, no significant nonspecific adsorption and cross-talk were observed. The biosensing platform has shown satisfactory performance in the determination of real clinical samples. More importantly, the proposed approach can be conveniently extended to universal detection just by simply substituting biorecognition events. Thus, this work opens up a new promising perspective for dual and even multiple targets and offers promising potential applications in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Controlling the progression of contagious diseases is crucial for public health management, emphasizing the importance of early viral infection diagnosis. In response, lateral flow assays (LFAs) have been successfully utilized in point-of-care (POC) testing, emerging as a viable alternative to more traditional diagnostic methods. Recent advancements in virus detection have primarily leveraged methods such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP), and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Despite their proven effectiveness, these conventional techniques are often expensive, require specialized expertise, and consume a significant amount of time. In contrast, LFAs utilize nanomaterial-based optical sensing technologies, including colorimetric, fluorescence, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), offering quick, straightforward analyses with minimal training and infrastructure requirements for detecting viral proteins in biological samples. This review describes the composition and mechanism of and recent advancements in LFAs for viral protein detection, categorizing them into colorimetric, fluorescent, and SERS-based techniques. Despite significant progress, developing a simple, stable, highly sensitive, and selective LFA system remains a formidable challenge. Nevertheless, an advanced LFA system promises not only to enhance clinical diagnostics but also to extend its utility to environmental monitoring and beyond, demonstrating its potential to revolutionize both healthcare and environmental safety.

Abstract
Gelatin is a water-soluble protein obtained from the collagen of various animal origins (porcine, bovine, fish, donkey, horse, and deer hide) and has diverse applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. Porcine and bovine gelatins are extensively used in food and non-food products; however, their acceptance is limited due to religious prohibitions, whereas fish gelatin is accepted in all religions. In Southeast Asia, especially in China, gelatin obtained from donkey and deer skins is used in medicines. However, both sources suffer from adulteration (mixing different sources of gelatin) due to their limited availability and high cost. Unclear labeling and limited information about actual gelatin sources in gelatin-containing products cause serious concern among societies for halal and fraud authentication of gelatin sources. Therefore, authenticating gelatin sources in gelatin-based products is challenging due to close similarities between the composition differences and degradation of DNA and protein biomarkers in processed gelatin. Thus, different methods have been proposed to identify and quantify different gelatin sources in pharmaceutical and food products. To the best of our knowledge, this systematic and comprehensive review highlights different authentication techniques and their limitations in gelatin detection and quantification in various commercial products. This review also describes halal authentication and adulteration prevention strategies of various gelatin sources, mainly focussing on research gaps, challenges, and future directions in this research area.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1298:342384. [PMID: 38462339 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The utilization of inner filter effect (IFE) brings more opportunities for construction of fluorescence immunoassays but remains a great challenge, especially how to select best donor in the face of extensive fluorescent nanomaterials. Aflatoxin B1 possesses high toxicity among mycotoxins and is frequently found in agricultural products that may significantly threaten to human health. Therefore, with the help of signal transduction mechanism of IFE to develop a convenient and sensitive approach for AFB1 detection is of great significance in ensuring food safety. RESULTS Herein, the classical alkaline phosphatase (ALP) catalyzes hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate to produce p-nitrophenol (PNP) was employed as a model reaction, which intends to explore tunable multicolor fluorescence of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) for matching PNP to maximize IFE efficiency. The luminescent green-emitting AuNCs were selected as an optimal donor in terms of excellent spectral overlap, high photoluminescence, and adequate system adaptability, thus achieving a 22-fold increase in sensitivity improvement compared to colorimetric method for ALP detection. The fluorescence quenching mechanism between PNP and AuNCs was validated as IFE by studying ultraviolet absorption, zeta potentials and fluorescence lifetime. In light of this, we integrated a highly specific antibody-antigen recognition system, efficient enzymatic reaction and excellent optical characteristics of AuNCs to develop dual-mode immunoassay for AFB1 monitoring. The sensitivity of fluorometric immunoassay was lower to 0.06 ng/mL, which obtained a 3.5-fold improvement compared to "gold standard" ELISA. Their practicability and applicability were confirmed in the tap water, corn, wheat and peanuts samples. SIGNIFICANCE This work provides an easy-to-understand screening procedure to select optimal donor-acceptor pairs in IFE analysis. Furthermore, we expect that integration of IFE-based signal conversion strategy into mature immunoassay not only extends the signal types, simplifies signal amplification steps, and reduces the false-positive/false-negative rates, but also provides a simple, convenient, and versatile strategy for monitoring of trace other contaminants.

Abstract
Thrombin, a proteolytic enzyme, plays an essential role in catalyzing many blood clotting reactions. Thrombin can act as a marker for some blood-related diseases, such as leukemia, thrombosis, Alzheimer's disease and liver disease. Therefore, its diagnosis is of great importance in the fields of biological and medical research. Biosensors containing sandwich-type structures have attracted much consideration owing to their superior features such as reproducible and stable responses with easy improvement in the sensitivity of detection. Sandwich-type platforms can be designed using a pair of receptors that are able to bind to diverse locations of the same target. Herein, we investigate recent advances in the progress and applications of thrombin aptasensors containing a sandwich-type structure, in which two thrombin-binding aptamers (TBAs) identify different parts of the thrombin molecule, leading to the formation of a sandwich structure and ultimately signal detection. We also discuss the pros and cons of these approaches and outline the most logical approach in each section.

Double phage displayed peptides co-targeting-based biosensor with signal enhancement activity for colorimetric detection of Staphylococcus aureus. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 249:116005. [PMID: 38199079 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
The development of simple, fast, sensitive, and specific strategies for the detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria is crucial for ensuring food safety and promoting human health. Currently, detection methods for Staphylococcus aureus still suffer from issues such as low specificity and low sensitivity. To address this problem, we proposed a sensitivity enhancement strategy based on double phage-displayed peptides (PDPs) co-targeting. Firstly, we screened two PDPs and analyzed their binding mechanisms through fluorescent localization, pull-down assay, and molecular docking. The two PDPs target S. aureus by binding to specific proteins on its outer membrane. Based on this phenomenon, a convenient and sensitive double PDPs colorimetric biosensor was developed. Double thiol-modified phage-displayed peptides (PDP-SH) enhance the aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), whereas the specific interaction between the double PDPs and bacteria inhibits the aggregation of AuNPs, resulting in an increased visible color change before and after the addition of bacteria. This one-step colorimetric approach displayed a high sensitivity of 2.35 CFU/mL and a wide detection range from 10-2 × 108 CFU/mL. The combination with smartphone-based image analysis improved the portability of this method. This strategy achieves the straightforward, highly sensitive and portable detection of pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
The Amplified Luminescent Proximity Homogenous Assay-linked Immunosorbent Assay (AlphaLISA) is known for detecting various protein targets; however, its ability to detect nucleic acid sequences is not well established. Here, the capabilities of the AlphaLISA technology were expanded to include direct detection of DNA (aka: oligo-Alpha) and was applied to the detection of Listeria monocytogenes. Parameters were defined that allowed the newly developed oligo-Alpha to differentiate L. monocytogenes from other Listeria species through the use of only a single nucleotide polymorphism within the 16S rDNA region. Investigations into the applicability of this assay with different matrices demonstrated its utility in both milk and juice. One remarkable feature of the oligo-Alpha is that greater sensitivity could be achieved through the use of multiple acceptor oligos compared to only a single acceptor oligo, even when only a single donor oligo was employed. Additional acceptor oligos were easily incorporated into the assay and a tenfold change in the detection limit was readily achieved, with detection limits of 250 attomole of target being recorded. In summary, replacement of antibodies with oligonucleotides allows us to take advantage of genotypic difference(s), which both expands its repertoire of biological markers and furthers its use as a diagnostic tool.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most prevalent and dangerous biotoxin in crops and feedstuff, which poses a great threat to human health and also cause significant financial losses. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an effective method for AFB1 detection. In this work, we developed an automatic reaction equipment and nanozyme-enhanced immunosorbent assay (Auto-NEISA) for sensitive and accurate detection of AFB1 by combining the highly effective signal probes with a self-designed automated immunoreactive equipment. Wherein, polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles were used as signal carriers for loading a massive in situ-synthesized platinum and palladium bimetallic nanozyme, which could enrich horseradish peroxidase-labeled goat anti-mouse antibody (HRP-Ab2) on the nanozyme surface to form a bimetallic nanozyme-bioenzyme hybrid material for multiple signal amplification. The entire reaction could be automatically completed by the self-developed immunoreactive equipment. The Auto-NEISA method realized the sensitive detection of AFB1 with a wide linear detection range of 10-104 pg/mL, at a low limit of detection (LOD) of 5.52 pg/mL. The LOD was 65-fold lower than that of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Additionally, Auto-NEISA was successfully applied to detect AFB1 in real food samples, demonstrating that it has considerable potential for detecting food contaminants with high accuracy and efficiency.

Abstract
Food contamination reveals a major health risk globally and presents a significant challenge for the food industry. It can stem from biological contaminants like pathogens, parasites, and viruses, or chemical contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, drugs, and hormones. There is also the possibility of naturally occurring hazardous chemicals. Consequently, the development of sensing platforms has become crucial to accurately and rapidly identify contaminants and hazards in food products. Electrospun nanofibers (NFs) offer a promising solution due to their unique three-dimensional architecture, large specific surface area, and ease of preparation. Moreover, NFs exhibit excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and adaptability, making monitoring more convenient and environmentally friendly. These characteristics also significantly reduce the detection process of contaminants. NF-based sensors have the ability to detect a wide range of biological, chemicals, and physical hazards. Recent research on NFs-based sensors for the detection of various food contaminants/hazards, such as pathogens, pesticide/drugs residues, toxins, allergens, and heavy metals, is presented in this review.

Abstract
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein (Cas) (CRISPR/Cas) system enables sensitive and specific detection of biomolecules, thanks to its programmability, high fidelity, and powerful signal amplification capabilities. Herein, a universal smartphone-assisted label-free G-quadruplex (G4) DNAzyme-based chemiluminescence CRISPR/Cas12a biosensing platform (G4CLCas) is firstly described that achieves on-site, ultrasensitive visual detection of nucleic acid and non-nucleic acid targets. The G4CLCas-based sensing platform relies on Cas12a trans-cleavage activation that triggers the cleavage of the G4 DNAzyme, resulting in chemiluminescence signals off/on compared to that of the control. Chemiluminescence signals are captured as images that are quantitatively analyzed and visualized using a smartphone-assisted imaging cartridge. Under optimal conditions, G4CLCas achieves a low limit of detection (LOD) of 8.6 aM (∼5.2 copies/μL) for monkeypox virus (MPXV) DNA within the linear concentration range of 10-300 aM and can accurately quantify viral DNA in spiked samples. G4CLCas can also detect non-nucleic acid targets, whereby it achieves a low LOD value of 84.3 nM for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) within the linear concentration range of 2-2000 μM. Here, a label-free, portable, on-site CRISPR/Cas12a chemiluminescence biosensing platform based on the G4 DNAzyme substrates is proposed with potential applications in clinical detection and bioanalytical chemistry research.

Abstract
The high efficiency and specificity of enzymes make them play an important role in life activities, but the high cost, low stability and high sensitivity of natural enzymes severely restrict their application. In recent years, nanozymes have become convincing alternatives to natural enzymes, finding utility across diverse domains, including biosensing, antibacterial interventions, cancer treatment, and environmental preservation. Nanozymes are characterized by their remarkable attributes, encompassing high stability, cost-effectiveness and robust catalytic activity. Within the contemporary scientific landscape, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered considerable attention, primarily due to their versatile applications, spanning catalysis. Notably, MOFs serve as scaffolds for the development of nanozymes, particularly in the context of bacterial detection and treatment. This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent literature pertaining to MOFs and their pivotal role in bacterial detection and treatment. We explored the limitations and prospects for the development of MOF-based nanozymes as a platform for bacterial detection and therapy, and anticipate their great potential and broader clinical applications in addressing medical challenges.

Abstract
Nanostructure-enhanced biodetection is widely used for early diagnosis and treatment, which plays an essential role in improving the cure rates of cancer patients. ZnO nanostructure-based fluorescence immunoassay has been demonstrated to enable effective and sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers for their excellent biocompatibility, high electrical point, and unique fluorescence enhancement properties. Further optimization of such fluorescence detection technology is still in demand to meet the requirements of highly sensitive, multiplex detection, and user-friendly devices. Droplet microfluidics is a promising platform for high-throughput analysis of biological assays, and they have been intensively used in analytical chemistry and synthesis of nanoparticles. Here, we propose a simple droplet chip, where a static droplet array was successfully obtained for in situ growth of ZnO nanostructures with varied diameters by changing the entire growth time and replenishment interval. This device provides a novel and alternative approach for patterned growth of ZnO nanostructures and understanding the growth condition of ZnO nanostructures in static droplet, which offers some guidance toward the design of multiple fluorescence amplification platforms potentially for biosensing. As a demonstration, we used the patterned grown ZnO nanostructures for multiple detection of cancer biomarkers, achieving a low limit of detection as low as 138 fg/mL in the human α-fetoprotein assay and 218 fg/mL in the carcinoembryonic antigen assay with a large dynamic range of 8 orders. These results suggest that such multifunctional microfluidic devices may be useful tools for efficient fluorescence diagnostic assays.

Abstract
In recent years, an encouraging breakthrough in the synthesis of immobilized enzymes in flower-shaped called "organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (hNFs)" with greatly enhanced catalytic activity and stability were reported. Although, these hNFs were discovered by accident, the enzymes exhibited highly enhanced catalytic activities and stabilities in the hNFs compared with the free and conventionally immobilized enzymes. Herein, we rationally utilized the catalytic activity of the hNFs for analytical applications. In this comprehensive review, we covered the design and use of the hNFs as novel versatile sensors for electrochemical, colorimetric/optical and immunosensors-based detection strategies in analytical perspective.

Abstract
Recently, silica nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted considerable attention as biocompatible and stable templates for embedding noble metals. Noble-metal-embedded silica NPs utilize the exceptional optical properties of novel metals while overcoming the limitations of individual novel metal NPs. In addition, the structure of metal-embedded silica NPs decorated with small metal NPs around the silica core results in strong signal enhancement in localized surface plasmon resonance and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. This review summarizes recent studies on metal-embedded silica NPs, focusing on their unique designs and applications. The characteristics of the metal-embedded silica NPs depend on the type and structure of the embedded metals. Based on this progress, metal-embedded silica NPs are currently utilized in various spectroscopic applications, serving as nanozymes, detection and imaging probes, drug carriers, photothermal inducers, and bioactivation molecule screening identifiers. Owing to their versatile roles, metal-embedded silica NPs are expected to be applied in various fields, such as biology and medicine, in the future.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections are a serious threat to human health. The development of rapid and sensitive detection methods for pathogenic bacteria is crucial for accurate drug administration. In this research, by combining the advantages of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we synthesized nanozymes with high catalytic performance, namely pomegranate seed-structured bimetallic gold-platinum nanomaterials (Ps-PtAu NPs), which can catalyze a colorless TMB substrate into oxidized TMB (oxTMB) with blue color to achieve colorimetric analysis of S. aureus. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed biosensor could quantitatively detect S. aureus at levels ranging from 1.0 × 101 to 1.0 × 106 CFU mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.9 CFU mL-1. Then, an integrated color picker APP on a smartphone enables on-site point-of-care testing (POCT) of S. aureus with LOD as low as 1 CFU mL-1. Meanwhile, the proposed biosensor is successfully applied to the detection of S. aureus in clinical samples with high sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs), as important indicators for evaluating food spoilage caused by fermentation processes or microbial activities, present significant risks of food safety. Consequently, the development of a simple, sensitive, and selective detection method for amines is of great importance. In this study, we proposed a three-in-one sensor 3,6-bis(dimethylamino)-9-(ethylthio)xanthylium (PSE) for high sensitivity and selectivity detecting BAs with multimodal responses, including olfactory, colorimetric, and fluorescent signals, thus facilitating convenient real-time detection of BAs. Mechanism study indicated that the nucleophilic substitution of PSE with BAs induced such rapid multi-responses with a low detection limit (LOD = 0.03 μM). We further fabricated PSE loaded paper for portable detection of BAs vapors. And the accurate determination of BAs levels is achieved through analyzing the RGB color mode. Finally, we successfully applied these test strips for non-destructive assessing meat beef freshness with the assistance of a smartphone in on-site scenarios.

Abstract
Milk has a high nutritional value. However, milk is easily contaminated in the production, processing, and storage processes, which harms consumers' health. Therefore, the harmful substances' detection in milk is important. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven high potential in food safety detection due to their unique porous structure, large effective surface area, large porosity, and structural tunability. This article systematically describes the detection mechanism of fluorescence, electrochemical, colorimetric, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on MOFs. The progress of the application of MOFs in the detection of antibiotics, harmful microorganisms and their toxins, harmful ions, and other harmful substances in milk in recent years is reviewed. The structural tunability of MOFs enables them to be functionalized, giving the ability to be applied to different detection methods or substances. Therefore, MOFs can be used as an advantageous sensing material for detecting harmful substances in the complex environment of milk.

Abstract
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) offers several advantages, including simple operation, high throughput, and low cost, making it an ideal immunoassay method for efficient screening of disease-related biomarkers in clinical samples. However, the traditional colorimetric ELISA has relatively low sensitivity, which promotes the continuous emergence of various novel signal amplification technologies. In this work, we fused the AFP-specific nanobody (A1) with the streptavidin-binding peptide (SBP) to develop a fusion protein (A1-SBP) as biorecognition element in a colorimetric ELISA for detecting AFP. Besides, to further improve the sensitivity of the traditional colorimetric ELISA, the streptavidin-conjugated polymerized horseradish peroxidase (SA-PolyHRP) were selected as a detection probe for signal amplification. The proposed signal enhancement strategy demonstrated a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.597 ng/mL for the SA-polyHRP-based ELISA, which is 7.67-fold lower than that of the traditional SA-HRP-based ELISA without additional steps. Furthermore, the proposed SA-polyHRP-based ELISA showed a good correlation with the detection of clinical samples using the Roche E601 chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer. Therefore, the proposed signal enhancement strategy is an attractive approach for improving the sensitivity of immunoassay without requiring additional steps.

Abstract
In light of potential risks of heavy metal exposure, diverse aptasensors have been developed through the combination of aptamers with nanomaterials for the timely and efficient detection of metals in environmental and biological matrices. Aptamer-based sensors can benefit from multiple merits such as heightened sensitivity, facile production, uncomplicated operation, exceptional specificity, enhanced stability, low immunogenicity, and cost-effectiveness. This review highlights the detection capabilities of nanomaterial-based aptasensors for heavy-metal and metalloid ions based on their performance in terms of the basic quality assurance parameters (e.g., limit of detection, linear dynamic range, and response time). Out of covered studies, dendrimer/CdTe@CdS QDs-based ECL aptasensor was found as the most sensitive option with an LOD of 2.0 aM (atto-molar: 10-18 M) detection for Hg2+. The existing challenges in the nanomaterial-based aptasensors and their scientific solutions are also discussed.

Abstract
Early-stage screening of cancer is critical in preventing its development and therefore can improve the prognosis of the disease. One accurate and effective method of cancer screening is using high sensitivity biosensors to detect optically, chemically, or magnetically labeled cancer biomarkers. Among a wide range of biosensors, giant magnetoresistance (GMR) based devices offer high sensitivity, low background noise, robustness, and low cost. With state-of-the-art micro- and nanofabrication techniques, tens to hundreds of independently working GMR biosensors can be integrated into fingernail-sized chips for the simultaneous detection of multiple cancer biomarkers (i.e., multiplexed assay). Meanwhile, the miniaturization of GMR chips makes them able to be integrated into point-of-care (POC) devices. In this review, we first introduce three types of GMR biosensors in terms of their structures and physics, followed by a discussion on fabrication techniques for those sensors. In order to achieve target cancer biomarker detection, the GMR biosensor surface needs to be subjected to biological decoration. Thus, commonly used methods for surface functionalization are also reviewed. The robustness of GMR-based biosensors in cancer detection has been demonstrated by multiple research groups worldwide and we review some representative examples. At the end of this review, the challenges and future development prospects of GMR biosensor platforms are commented on. With all their benefits and opportunities, it can be foreseen that GMR biosensor platforms will transition from a promising candidate to a robust product for cancer screening in the near future.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 is a carcinogenic contaminant in food or feed, and it poses a serious health risk to humans. Herein, a computer vision-assisted smartphone microscope imaging digital (SMID) immunosensor based on the click chemistry-mediated microsphere counting technology was designed for the detection of aflatoxin B1 in peanuts. In this SMID immunosensor, the modified polystyrene (PS) microspheres were used as the signal probes and were recorded by a smartphone microscopic imaging system after immunoreaction and click chemistry reaction. The number of PS probes is adjusted by aflatoxin B1. The customized computer vision procedure was used to efficiently identify and count the obtained PS probes. This SMID immunosensor enables sensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 with a linear range from 0.001 ng/mL to 500 ng/mL, providing a simple, sensitive, and portable tool for food safety supervision.

Abstract
The development of rapid and accurate assays is crucial to prevent the rapid spread of highly contagious respiratory infections such as coronavirus (COVID-19). Here, we developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method that allows for the screening of multiple patient samples with high sensitivity on a 1536-well plate. As the well number on the ELISA well plate increases from 96 to 1536, the throughput of the assay increases but the sensitivity decreases due to the low number of biomarkers and the increase in non-specific binding species. To address this problem, silica (SiO2) beads were used to increase the surface-to-volume ratio and the loading density of biomarkers, thereby enhancing sensitivity. Using a three-dimensional gold nanoparticle (AuNP)@SiO2 SERS assay platform on a 1536-well plate, an immunoassay for the nucleocapsid protein biomarker of SARS-CoV-2 was performed and the limit of detection (LoD) decreased from 273 to 7.83 PFU/mL compared to using a two-dimensional assay platform with AuNPs. The proposed AuNPs@SiO2 SERS immunoassay (SERS-IA) platform is expected to dramatically decrease the false-negative diagnostic rate of the currently used lateral flow assay (LFA) or ELISA by enabling the positive diagnosis of patients with low virus concentrations.

Abstract
The measurement of food contaminants faces a great challenge owing to the increasing demand for safe food, increasing consumption of fast food, and rapidly changing patterns of human consumption. As different types of contaminants in food products can pose different levels of threat to human health, it is desirable to develop specific and rapid methods for their identification and quantification. During the past few years, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based materials have been extensively explored in the development of food safety sensors. MOFs are porous crystalline materials with tunable composition, dynamic porosity, and facile surface functionalization. The construction of high-performance biosensors for a range of applications (e.g., food safety, environmental monitoring, and biochemical diagnostics) can thus be promoted through the synergistic combination of MOFs with aptamers. Accordingly, this review article delineates recent innovations achieved for the aptamer-functionalized MOFs toward the detection of food contaminants. First, we describe the basic concepts involved in the detection of food contaminants in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of the commonly used analytical methods (e.g., DNA-based methods (PCR/real-time PCR/multiplex PCR/digital PCR) and protein-based methods (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay/immunochromatography assay/immunosensor/mass spectrometry). Afterward, the progress in aptamer-functionalized MOF biosensors is discussed with respect to the sensing mechanisms (e.g., the role of MOFs as signal probes and carriers for loading signal probes) along with their performance evaluation (e.g., in terms of sensitivity). We finally discuss challenges and opportunities associated with the development of aptamer-functionalized MOFs for the measurement of food contaminants.

Food Chem 2023; 413:135553. [PMID: 36745944 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.135553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Inspired by a biomineralization behavior, we prepared a nanoflower-like artificial clickase (namely LCN clickase) for portable and sensitive click SERS immunoassay of foodborne bacterial pathogen. Encouraged by its high click catalytic activity to trigger Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction, LCN clickase was successfully used for establishing a novel click SERS immunoassay by combining the clickase-mediated SERS signal variation at Raman-silent region. The developed method not only effectively eliminated the interferences between Raman reporter and biological species, but also reduced the complex sample matrix interference. Compared with traditional CuAAC-based immunoassays, the established method avoided the superfluous dissolution process of nanocatalysts and eliminated the requirement of reducing agent during detection, thereby shortening detection time and improving detection reliability. Impressively, the proposed method showed high selectivity and sensitivity for detection of Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi B with a low LOD of 20 CFU/mL, exhibiting a great potential in detection of foodborne bacterial pathogen in food samples.

Abstract
Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy is increasingly used as a sensitive bioanalytical tool for detection of variety of analytes ranging from viruses and bacteria to cancer biomarkers and toxins, etc. This comprehensive review describes principles of operation and compares the performance of immunoassays and aptamer assays with Surface Enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection to each other and to some other bioassay methods, including ELISA and fluorescence assays. Both immuno- and aptamer-based assays are categorized into assay on solid substrates, assays with magnetic nanoparticles and assays in laminar flow or/and strip assays. The best performing and recent examples of assays in each category are described in the text and illustrated in the figures. The average performance, particularly, limit of detection (LOD) for each of those methods reflected in 9 tables of the manuscript and average LODs are calculated and compared. We found out that, on average, there is some advantage in terms of LOD for SERS immunoassays (0.5 pM median LOD of 88 papers) vs SERS aptamer-based assays (1.7 pM median LOD of 51 papers). We also tabulated and analyzed the clinical performance of SERS immune and aptamer assays, where selectivity, specificity, and accuracy are reported, we summarized the best examples. We also reviewed challenges to SERS bioassay performance and real-life application, including non-specific protein binding, nanoparticle aggregation, limited nanotag stability, sometimes, relatively long time to results, etc. The proposed solutions to those challenges are also discussed in the review. Overall, this review may be interesting not only to bioanalytical chemist, but to medical and life science researchers who are interested in improvement of bioanalyte detection and diagnostics.

Abstract
Immunosorbent assay is one of the most popular immunological screening techniques which has been widely used for the clinical diagnosis of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). While traditional immunosorbent assay (ELISA) suffers from low detection sensitivity due to its low intensity of colorimetric signal. To improve the sensitivity of AFP detection, we developed a new and sensitive immunocolorimetric biosensor by combining Ps-Pt nanozyme with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated polymerization reaction. The determination of AFP was achieved by measuring the visual color intensity produced by the catalytic oxidation reaction of the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) solution with Ps-Pt and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Owing to the synergistic catalysis of Ps-Pt and horseradish peroxidase HRP enriched in polymerized amplification products, this biosensor exhibited a significant color change within 25 s in the presence of 10-500 pg/mL AFP. This proposed method allowed for the specific detection of AFP with a detection limit of 4.30 pg/mL and even 10 pg/mL target protein could be distinguished clearly by visual observation. Furthermore, this biosensor could be applied to analysis of AFP in the complex sample and could be easily extended to the detection of other proteins.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glabridin is a unique isoflavonoid found only in Glycyrrhiza glabra L. The pharmacological effects of glabridin are well established, especially for beauty- and wellness-related uses, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, ultraviolet (UV) protection, and skin-lightening effects. Therefore, glabridin is often found in commercial products such as creams, lotions, and dietary supplements. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a glabridin-specific antibody. METHOD Immunogen conjugation of glabridin-bovine serum albumin was performed via the Mannich reaction, and the resulting conjugates were injected into BALB/c mice. Subsequently, hybridomas were produced. An ELISA method for glabridin determination was developed and validated. RESULT A highly specific antibody against glabridin was produced using clone 2G4. The assay range for the determination of glabridin was 0.28-7.02 μg/ml, with a detection limit of 0.16 μg/ml. The validation parameters in terms of accuracy and precision met the acceptable criteria. Standard curves of glabridin in various matrices were compared to evaluate the matrix effect on human serum using ELISA. Standard curves of the human serum and water matrix were obtained in the same manner, and the measurement range was 0.41-10.57 μg/ml. CONCLUSION The developed ELISA method was used to quantify glabridin in plant materials and products with high sensitivity and specificity, and has potential applications in quantifying compounds in plant-derived products and human serum samples.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte capsules (PCs) exhibit attractive superiorities in enzyme immobilization, including providing a capacious microenvironment for enzyme conformational freedom, highly effective mass transfer, and protecting enzymes from the external environment. Herein, we provide the first systemic evaluation of submicron PCs (SPCs, 500 nm) for enzyme immobilization. The catalytic kinetics results show that SPC encapsulation affected the affinities of enzymes and substrates but significantly enhanced their catalytic activity. The stability test indicates that SPC-encapsulated horseradish peroxidase (HRP) exhibits ultrahigh resistance to external harsh conditions and has a longer storage life than that of soluble HRP. The proposed encapsulation strategy enables 7.73-, 2.22-, and 11.66-fold relative activities when working at a pH as low as 3, at a NaCl concentration as high as 500 mM, and at a trypsin concentration as high as 10 mg/mL. We find that SPC encapsulation accelerates the cascade reaction efficiency of HRP and glucose oxidase. Owing to SPCs enhancing the catalytic activity of the loaded enzymes, we established an amplified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 using HRP-loaded SPCs. The detection sensitivity of SPC-improved ELISA was found to be 280 times greater than that of conventional HRP-based ELISA. Altogether, we provide an elaborate evaluation of 500 nm SPCs on enzyme immobilization and its application in the ultrasensitive detection of foodborne pathogens. This evaluation provides evidence to reveal the potential advantage of SPCs on enzyme immobilization for enzyme-based immunoassays. It has excellent biological activity and strong stability and broadens the application prospect in urine, soy sauce, sewage, and other special samples.

Abstract
Pathogenic infection remains the primary threat to human health, such as the global COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to develop rapid, sensitive and multiplexed tools for detecting pathogens and their mutated variants, particularly the tailor-made strategies for point-of-care diagnosis allowing for use in resource-constrained settings. The rapidly evolving CRISPR/Cas systems have provided a powerful toolbox for pathogenic diagnostics via nucleic acid tests. In this review, we firstly describe the resultant promising class 2 (single, multidomain effector) and recently explored class 1 (multisubunit effector complexes) CRISPR tools. We present diverse engineering nucleic acid diagnostics based on CRISPR/Cas systems for pathogenic viruses, bacteria and fungi, and highlight the application for detecting viral variants and drug-resistant bacteria enabled by CRISPR-based mutation profiling. Finally, we discuss the challenges involved in on-site diagnostic assays and present emerging CRISPR systems and CRISPR cascade that potentially enable multiplexed and preamplification-free pathogenic diagnostics.

Abstract
Pesticides play an important role in increasing the overall yield and productivity of agricultural foods by controlling pests, insects, and numerous plant-related diseases. However, the overuse of pesticides has resulted in pesticide contamination of food products and water bodies, as well as disruption of ecological and environmental systems. Global health authorities have set limits for pesticide residues in individual food products to ensure the availability of safe foods in the supply system and to assist farmers in developing the best agronomic practices for crop production. Therefore, the use of nondestructive testing (NDT) methods for pesticide residue detection is gaining interest in the food supply chain. The NDT techniques have several advantages, such as simultaneous measurement of chemical and physical characteristics of food without destroying the product. Although numerous studies have been conducted on NDT for pesticide residue in agro-food products, there are still challenges in real-time implementation. Further study on NDT methods is needed to establish their potential for supplementing existing methods, identifying mixed pesticides, and performing volumetric quantification (not surface accumulation alone).

Abstract
3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 is widely used as an effective colorimetric system, in which the color reaction is implemented with peroxidase-catalyzed TMB oxidation by H2O2 that usually measured UV-vis absorption spectra or Raman spectra. However, its low accuracy significantly limits its application. Blue charge transfer complex (CTC), which is the product of TMB and H2O2 reaction and is used as the basis for partial colorimetric methods, usually causes colorimetric error owing to changes in the UV-vis absorption and Raman spectra during TMB oxidation under various environmental conditions (catalyst type, temperature, H2O2 concentration). Herein, we propose a surface-enhanced Raman spectrum (SERS)-based error calibration method to improve the accuracy of the TMB-H2O2 colorimetric system. It is found that under 633 nm laser excitation, TMB has three Raman peaks at 1189, 1335 and 1609 cm-1 in the single-electron oxidation phase, and these peaks disappear completely in the two-electron oxidation phase. By comparing these Raman peaks, we can conveniently obtain the actual process information during TMB oxidation. Using the proposed method, the accuracy of the TMB-H2O2 colorimetric system improved by more than 15%. Importantly, this SERS-based TMB-H2O2 error calibration method will open a new horizon for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and other biomedical applications.

Personal Glucose Meters Coupled with Signal Amplification Technologies for Quantitative Detection of Non-Glucose Targets: Recent Progress and Challenges in Food Safety Hazards Analysis. J Pharm Anal 2023; 13:223-238. [PMID: 37102109 PMCID: PMC10123950 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Ensuring food safety is paramount worldwide. Developing effective detection methods to ensure food safety can be challenging owing to trace hazards, long detection time, and resource-poor sites, in addition to the matrix effects of food. Personal glucose meter (PGM), a classic point-of-care testing device, possesses unique application advantages, demonstrating promise in food safety. Currently, many studies have used PGM-based biosensors and signal amplification technologies to achieve sensitive and specific detection of food hazards. Signal amplification technologies have the potential to greatly improve the analytical performance and integration of PGMs with biosensors, which is crucial for solving the challenges associated with the use of PGMs for food safety analysis. This review introduces the basic detection principle of a PGM-based sensing strategy, which consists of three key factors: target recognition, signal transduction, and signal output. Representative studies of existing PGM-based sensing strategies combined with various signal amplification technologies (nanomaterial-loaded multienzyme labeling, nucleic acid reaction, DNAzyme catalysis, responsive nanomaterial encapsulation, and others) in the field of food safety detection are reviewed. Future perspectives and potential opportunities and challenges associated with PGMs in the field of food safety are discussed. Despite the need for complex sample preparation and the lack of standardization in the field, using PGMs in combination with signal amplification technology shows promise as a rapid and cost-effective method for food safety hazard analysis.

Shafie MH, Antony Dass M, Ahmad Shaberi HS, Zafarina Z. Screening and confirmation tests for SARS-CoV-2: benefits and drawbacks. BENI-SUEF UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF BASIC AND APPLIED SCIENCES 2023; 12:6. [PMID: 36647397 PMCID: PMC9833029 DOI: 10.1186/s43088-023-00342-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 is a pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection that emerged in late 2019 and has activated an ongoing international public health emergency. SARS-CoV-2 was discovered in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and rapidly spread to other cities and countries. Currently, SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests have relied heavily on detecting viral genes, antigens, and human antibodies. Hence, this review discusses and analyses the existing screening and confirmation tests for SARS-CoV-2, including the real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Main body The illustrations of each testing were presented to provide the readers with an understanding of the scientific principles behind the testing methods. The comparison was made by highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each testing. ELISA is ideal for performing the maximum population screening to determine immunological capacity, although its inability to provide reliable results on the status of the infection. Recently, LFIA has been approved as a quicker way of determining whether a patient is infected at the analysis time without using particular instruments and non-laboratory settings. RT-PCR is the gold-standard approach in terms of sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion However, the combination of LFIA or ELISA with RT-PCR is also proposed in this review to obtain an adequate level of sensitivity and specificity. Graphic Abstract

[PMID: 36678453 PMCID: PMC9865778 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens12010104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
The detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria currently relies on their ability to grow on chemically defined liquid and solid media, which is the essence of the classical microbiological approach. Such procedures are time-consuming and the quality of the result is affected by the selectivity of the media employed. Several alternative strategies based on the detection of molecular markers have been proposed. These markers may be cell constituents, may reside on the cell envelope or may be specific metabolites. Each marker provides specific advantages and, at the same time, suffers from specific limitations. The food matrix and chemical composition, as well as the accompanying microbiota, may also severely compromise detection. The aim of the present review article is to present and critically discuss all available information regarding the molecular targets that have been employed as markers for the detection of foodborne pathogens. Their strengths and limitations, as well as the proposed alleviation strategies, are presented, with particular emphasis on their applicability in real food systems and the challenges that are yet to be effectively addressed.
