Abstract
Various infectious viruses have been posing a major threat to global public health, especially SARS-CoV-2, which has already claimed more than six million lives up to now. Tremendous efforts have been made to develop effective techniques for rapid and reliable pathogen detection. The unique characteristics of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) pose numerous advantages when employed in biosensors, and they are a promising candidate for virus detection. Herein, this Review will discuss the recent advancement in the UCNP-based biosensors for virus and biomarkers detection. We summarize four basic principles that guide the design of UCNP-based biosensors, which are utilized with luminescent or electric responses as output signals. These strategies under fundamental mechanisms facilitate the enhancement of the sensitivity of UCNP-based biosensors. Moreover, a detailed discussion and benefits of applying UCNP in various virus bioassays will be presented. We will also address some obstacles in these detection techniques and suggest routes for progress in the field. These progressions will undoubtedly pose UCNP-based biosensors in a prominent position for providing a convenient, alternative approach to virus detection.

Sun C, Gradzielski M. Advances in fluorescence sensing enabled by lanthanide-doped upconversion nanophosphors. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 300:102579.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), characterized by converting low-energy excitation to high-energy emission, have attracted considerable interest due to their inherent advantages of large anti-Stokes shifts, sharp and narrow multicolor emissions, negligible autofluorescence background interference, and excellent chemical- and photo-stability. These features make them promising luminophores for sensing applications. In this review, we give a comprehensive overview of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanophosphors including the fundamental principle for the construction of UCNPs with efficient upconversion luminescence (UCL), followed by state-of-the-art strategies for the synthesis and surface modification of UCNPs, and finally describing current advances in the sensing application of upconversion-based probes for the quantitative analysis of various analytes including pH, ions, molecules, bacteria, reactive species, temperature, and pressure. In addition, emerging sensing applications like photodetection, velocimetry, electromagnetic field, and voltage sensing are highlighted.

Abstract
Demand on the quick screening of gastric cancer (GC) has significantly stimulated the development of biomarker sensing techniques. Herein, we report the novel fluorescent paper-based analytical devices (PADs) for detections of GC-related microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) and circular RNA from Hippocampus Abundant Transcript 1 gene (circRNA-HIAT1) with prominent reliability and sensitivity. The PADs, constructed by in-situ synthesis of blue-emissive carbon dots (CDs) and conjugations of probe DNAs, exhibit the superior uniformity and stability. In the presence of targets, rolling circle amplifications (RCA) are triggered to generate long DNA strands for the assemblies of green-/red-emissive labels. Consequently, remarkable blue-to-green and blue-to-red emission color transitions of the PADs are achieved, implementing the color-analysis of miRNA-21 and circRNA-HIAT1, respectively. Benefited from the efficient RCA, coupled with the drastic ratiometric fluorescent changes, the limit of detections (LODs) of PADs are found to be several fM with the upper limit of the linear detection range at 1 nM. More importantly, the fluorescent PADs possess excellent specificity, as well as anti-interference capability in biological settings, enabling their applications in accurate GC screening with plasma samples. Overall, the proposed fluorescent PADs are featured with robust sensing platform, facile signal readout, and exceptional dual-type RNA sensing performance, holding high potential in point-of-care testing (POCT).

Simultaneous and sensitive detection of multiple small biological molecules by microfluidic paper-based analytical device integrated with zinc oxide nanorods. Talanta 2021; 232:122499.

Abstract
In this work, ZnO nanorods (ZnO NRs) with different sizes were hydrothermally grown on the surface of Whatman filter paper for the fabrication of a microfluidic paper-based device (μPAD) for the simultaneous detection of glucose and uric acid. As dual enzymatic reaction was employed for the colorimetric detection in this μPAD, the presence of ZnO NRs promoted the enzyme immobilization thus significantly enhancing the colorimetric signal. The coffee ring effect was effectively conquered by the uniform distribution of ZnO NR as well as a specialized double-layered μPAD design. Meanwhile, two color indicators with distinct colors were used to provide complementary results to better quantify the concentration of the analytes by naked eye. As a result, two linear calibration curves were obtained for the detection of glucose (0.01-10 mmol L-1) and uric acid (0.01-5 mmol L-1), along with a LOD of 3 μmol L-1 for glucose and 4 μmol L-1 for uric acid, respectively. The practical usefulness of the proposed μPAD was further validated by the simultaneous analysis of glucose and uric acid in serum samples and urine samples.

Abstract
In this paper, a paper-supported analytical device based on a sandwich immunoreaction and luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) was reported for the visual and quantitative determination of a cancer biomarker, in which upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were located on the surface of the paper as energy donors and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used as energy acceptors. Upon the recognition of the cancer biomarker by two rationally selected antibodies, the upconversion luminescence was quenched by the AuNPs in a biomarker concentration-dependent manner. As a model target, CEA was detected using this immunosensor, and a linear relationship within 0.5-30 ng mL-1 was obtained in buffer solution, with a detection limit of 0.21 ng mL-1. The immunosensor was also applicable in 20-fold diluted human serum with a linear range of 0.5-30 ng mL-1 and a detection limit of 0.36 ng mL-1. This technique also realized the qualitative judgment of the critical concentration of CEA in serum samples by the naked eye. This approach displays great application potential for point-of-care testing in clinical applications, as well as the potentiality to be extended to other kinds of disease-related biomolecules.

Abstract
Lanthanide nanoparticles (LNPs) are promising sensors of chemical, mechanical, and temperature changes; they combine the narrow-spectral emission and long-lived excited states of individual lanthanide ions with the high spatial resolution and controlled energy transfer of nanocrystalline architectures. Despite considerable progress in optimizing LNP brightness and responsiveness for dynamic sensing, detection of stimuli with a spatial resolution approaching that of individual nanoparticles remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we highlight the existing capabilities and outstanding challenges of LNP sensors, en-route to nanometer-scale, single particle sensor resolution. First, we summarize LNP sensor read-outs, including changes in emission wavelength, lifetime, intensity, and spectral ratiometric values that arise from modified energy transfer networks within nanoparticles. Then, we describe the origins of LNP sensor imprecision, including sensitivity to competing conditions, interparticle heterogeneities, such as the concentration and distribution of dopant ions, and measurement noise. Motivated by these sources of signal variance, we describe synthesis characterization feedback loops to inform and improve sensor precision, and introduce noise-equivalent sensitivity as a figure of merit of LNP sensors. Finally, we project the magnitudes of chemical and pressure stimulus resolution achievable with single LNPs at nanoscale resolution. Our perspective provides a roadmap for translating ensemble LNP sensing capabilities to the single particle level, enabling nanometer-scale sensing in biology, medicine, and sustainability.

Abstract
The demand for point-of-need (PON) diagnostics for clinical and other applications is continuing to grow. Much of this demand is currently serviced by biosensors, which combine a bioanalytical sensing element with a transducing device that reports results to the user. Ideally, such devices are easy to use and do not require special skills of the end user. Application-dependent, PON devices may need to be capable of measuring low levels of analytes very rapidly, and it is often helpful if they are also portable. To date, only two transduction modalities, colorimetric lateral flow immunoassays (LFIs) and electrochemical assays, fully meet these requirements and have been widely adopted at the point-of-need. These modalities are either non-quantitative (LFIs) or highly analyte-specific (electrochemical glucose meters), therefore requiring considerable modification if they are to be co-opted for measuring other biomarkers. Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (RET)-based biosensors incorporate a quantitative and highly versatile transduction modality that has been extensively used in biomedical research laboratories. RET-biosensors have not yet been applied at the point-of-need despite its advantages over other established techniques. In this review, we explore and discuss recent developments in the translation of RET-biosensors for PON diagnoses, including their potential benefits and drawbacks.

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

Abstract
Immunoglobulin E (IgE), a biomarker of allergic diseases, plays a critical role in allergic mechanism. Because of its low abundance in serum, the demand of developing sensitive, selective and simple methods for IgE detection is still very urgent. Paper-based analytical devices using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as the label can be promising point-of-care test (POCT) methods in rapid diagnosis, owing to their NIR-excitation and visible light emission nature, which can avoid the interference of autofluorescence and scattering light from biological samples and paper substrates. In this work, we proposed a paper-based analytical device for the sensitive, selective and accurate detection of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) in human serum. The assay was based on resonance energy transfer between UCNPs and organic dye tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA), and IgE aptamer with stem-loop structure was used as the recognizing probe. The existence of IgE change the conformation of IgE aptamer, enlarge the distance between donor and acceptor, and block the energy transfer process. Thus, the luminescence of UCNPs recovered with an IgE concentration independent manner. A linear calibration was obtained in the range of 0.5-50 IU/mL, with a detection limit of 0.13 IU/mL. The results of our method were well correlated with that of commercial ELISA kit (20 human serum samples). This work suggests promising prospect of the paper-based UC-LRET analytical devices in real samples and may promote the application of paper-based analytical devices in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Upconverting phosphors (UCPs) convert multiple low energy photons into higher energy emission via the process of photon upconversion and offer an attractive alternative to organic fluorophores for use as luminescent probes. Here, UCPs were capped with functionalized silica in order to provide a surface to covalently conjugate proteins with surface-accessible cysteines. Variants of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the flavoenzyme pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase (PETNR) were then attached via maleimide-thiol coupling in order to allow energy transfer from the UCP to the GFP or flavin cofactor of PETNR, respectively. PETNR retains its activity when coupled to the UCPs, which allows reversible detection of enzyme substrates via ratiometric sensing of the enzyme redox state.

Abstract
We have discovered herein that commonly used laboratory glass microfiber filters can be functionalized as background-free superhydrophobic substrates for quantitative fluorometric assays. In particular, glass microfiber filters (Whatman GF/A) can be treated with low-concentration (20 mM) methyltrichlorosilane/toluene solution to be superhydrophobic (water contact angle >150°) in less than 5 min; the modified glass microfiber filter can be readily patterned with UV/ozone irradiation to create hydrophilic reaction zones on the otherwise superhydrophobic substrate. Compared with traditional cellulose filter paper, the glass microfiber filter has extremely low fluorescence background, which makes it an excellent substrate for preparing quantitative fluorometric assays. In conjunction with smartphone imaging and color analysis, we have showcased a copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC)-based fluorometric assay for copper quantitation on these patterned, superhydrophobic glass microfiber filter substrates. Both the limit of detection and linear response range are comparable with the standard spectrophotometric quantitation in solution and commercial copper detection kits, which augments the application potential of superhydrophobic glass microfiber filters as ideal (e.g., background-free) substrates for the preparation of multiplex microassays and other advanced microanalytical devices based on fluorescence readout.

Abstract
A fully enclosed paper microfluidic device has been fabricated using pentafluoroethane (PFE) plasma deposition followed by O2 plasma etching. Structures with one and two non-interacting, fully enclosed hydrophilic channels were generated in a single paper sheet using metal masks. Furthermore, by performing an additional O2 plasma step with a secondary mask, pinholes were created at the reaction zones for reagent loading. Finally, to demonstrate the functionality of the device, a glucose assay was performed. Quantitative analysis of glucose assays showed that the device can be used for the clinically relevant range of glucose. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such structures have been fabricated without paper stacking. Multi-layer devices have enhanced functionality relative to a single channel device, because the design space for creating networks of channels within the paper substrate is greatly expanded. The fluid-filled channels in the fabricated device are isolated, thereby preventing contamination due to handling and environmental exposure. Fluid evaporation can be inhibited by sealing the device with adhesive tape without contaminating the enclosed channels. The method described is a dry process and compatible with roll-to-roll technology, thus facilitating large scale production. The novel method to fabricate enclosed μ-PADs overcomes many of the limitations experienced with current approaches and thus offers an alternative means to develop low-cost point-of-care diagnostics for resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Point-of-care and in-field technologies for rapid, sensitive and selective detection of molecular biomarkers have attracted much interest. Rugged bioassay technology capable of fast detection of markers for pathogens and genetic diseases would in particular impact the quality of health care in the developing world, but would also make possible more extensive screening in developed countries to tackle problems such as those associated with water and food quality, and tracking of infectious organisms in hospitals and clinics. Literature trends indicate an increasing interest in the use of nanomaterials, and in particular luminescent nanoparticles, for assay development. These materials may offer attributes for development of assays and sensors that could achieve improvements in analytical figures of merit, and provide practical advantages in sensitivity and stability. There is opportunity for cost-efficiency and technical simplicity by implementation of luminescent nanomaterials as the basis for transduction technology, when combined with the use of paper substrates, and the ubiquitous availability of cell phone cameras and associated infrastructure for optical detection and transmission of results. Luminescent nanoparticles have been described for a broad range of bioanalytical targets including small molecules, oligonucleotides, peptides, proteins, saccharides and whole cells (e.g., cancer diagnostics). The luminescent nanomaterials that are described herein for paper-based bioassays include metal nanoparticles, quantum dots and lanthanide-doped nanocrystals. These nanomaterials often have broad and strong absorption and narrow emission bands that improve opportunity for multiplexed analysis, and can be designed to provide emission at wavelengths that are efficiently processed by conventional digital cameras. Luminescent nanoparticles can be embedded in paper substrates that are designed to direct fluid flow, and the resulting combination of technologies can offer competitive analytical performance at relatively low cost.

Abstract
Application of optically superior, tunable fluorescent nanotechnologies have long been demonstrated throughout many chemical and biological sensing applications. Combined with microfluidics technologies, i.e. on lab-on-a-chip platforms, such fluorescent nanotechnologies have often enabled extreme sensitivity, sometimes down to single molecule level. Within recent years there has been a peak interest in translating fluorescent nanotechnology onto paper-based platforms for chemical and biological sensing, as a simple, low-cost, disposable alternative to conventional silicone-based microfluidic substrates. On the other hand, smartphone integration as an optical detection system as well as user interface and data processing component has been widely attempted, serving as a gateway to on-board quantitative processing, enhanced mobility, and interconnectivity with informational networks. Smartphone sensing can be integrated to these paper-based fluorogenic assays towards demonstrating extreme sensitivity as well as ease-of-use and low-cost. However, with these emerging technologies there are always technical limitations that must be addressed; for example, paper's autofluorescence that perturbs fluorogenic sensing; smartphone flash's limitations in fluorescent excitation; smartphone camera's limitations in detecting narrow-band fluorescent emission, etc. In this review, physical optical setups, digital enhancement algorithms, and various fluorescent measurement techniques are discussed and pinpointed as areas of opportunities to further improve paper-based fluorogenic optical sensing with smartphones.

Abstract
Bioassays for the rapid detection and quantification of specific nucleic acids, proteins, and peptides are fundamental tools in many clinical settings. Traditional optical emission methods have focused on the use of molecular dyes as labels to track selective binding interactions and as probes that are sensitive to environmental changes. Such dyes can offer good detection limits based on brightness but typically have broad emission bands and suffer from time-dependent photobleaching. Inorganic nanoparticles such as quantum dots and upconversion nanoparticles are photostable over prolonged exposure to excitation radiation and tend to offer narrow emission bands, providing a greater opportunity for multiwavelength multiplexing. Importantly, in contrast to molecular dyes, nanoparticles offer substantial surface area and can serve as platforms to carry a large number of conjugated molecules. The surface chemistry of inorganic nanoparticles offers both challenges and opportunities for the control of solubility and functionality for selective molecular interactions by the assembly of coatings through coordination chemistry. This report reviews advances in the compositional design and methods of conjugation of inorganic quantum dots and upconversion nanoparticles and the assembly of combinations of nanoparticles to achieve energy exchange. Our interest is the exploration of configurations where the modified nanoparticles can be immobilized to solid substrates for the development of bioassays and biosensors that operate by resonance energy transfer (RET).

Abstract
Microfluidic DNA biochips capable of detecting specific DNA sequences are useful in medical diagnostics, drug discovery, food safety monitoring and agriculture. They are used as miniaturized platforms for analysis of nucleic acids-based biomarkers. Binding kinetics between immobilized single stranded DNA on the surface and its complementary strand present in the sample are of interest. To achieve optimal sensitivity with minimum sample size and rapid hybridization, ability to predict the kinetics of hybridization based on the thermodynamic characteristics of the probe is crucial. In this study, a computer aided numerical model for the design and optimization of a flow-through biochip was developed using a finite element technique packaged software tool (FEMLAB; package included in COMSOL Multiphysics) to simulate the transport of DNA through a microfluidic chamber to the reaction surface. The model accounts for fluid flow, convection and diffusion in the channel and on the reaction surface. Concentration, association rate constant, dissociation rate constant, recirculation flow rate, and temperature were key parameters affecting the rate of hybridization. The model predicted the kinetic profile and signal intensities of eighteen 20-mer probes targeting vancomycin resistance genes (VRGs). Predicted signal intensities and hybridization kinetics strongly correlated with experimental data in the biochip (R2 = 0.8131).

Abstract
This review shows the recent advances and state of the art in paper-based analytical devices (PADs) through the analysis of their integration with microfluidics and LOC micro- and nanotechnologies, electrochemical/optical detection and electronic devices as the convergence of various knowledge areas. The important role of the paper design/architecture in the improvement of the performance of sensor devices is discussed. The discussion is fundamentally based on μPADs as the new generation of paper-based (bio)sensors. Data about the scientific publication ranking of PADs, illustrating their increase as an experimental research topic in the past years, are supplied. In addition, an analysis of the simultaneous evolution of PADs in academic lab research and industrial commercialization highlighting the parallelism of the technological transfer from academia to industry is displayed. A general overview of the market behaviour, the leading industries in the sector and their commercialized devices is given. Finally, personal opinions of the authors about future perspectives and tendencies in the design and fabrication technology of PADs are disclosed.

Abstract
Bioassays based on cellulose paper substrates are gaining increasing popularity for the development of field portable and low-cost diagnostic applications. Herein, we report a paper-based nucleic acid hybridization assay using immobilized upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as donors in luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET). UCNPs with intense green emission served as donors with Cy3 dye as the acceptor. The avidin functionalized UCNPs were immobilized on cellulose paper and subsequently bioconjugated to biotinylated oligonucleotide probes. Introduction of unlabeled oligonucleotide targets resulted in a formation of probe-target duplexes. A subsequent hybridization of Cy3 labeled reporter with the remaining single stranded portion of target brought the Cy3 dye in close proximity to the UCNPs to trigger a LRET-sensitized emission from the acceptor dye. The hybridization assays provided a limit of detection (LOD) of 146.0 fmol and exhibited selectivity for one base pair mismatch discrimination. The assay was functional even in undiluted serum samples. This work embodies important progress in developing DNA hybridization assays on paper. Detection of unlabeled targets is achieved using UCNPs as LRET donors, with minimization of background signal from paper substrates owing to the implementation of low energy near-infrared (NIR) excitation.

Abstract
Current chemo/biosensors for hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite detections are usually limited to the submicromolar level because of their insufficient sensitivity, which is a problem because the concentrations in biological matrices is generally on the nanomolar scale or even lower. Developing a probe with a high enough sensitivity remains a challenge. Using the minimal background fluorescence of upconversion nanocrystals to our advantage, we herein report on an energy-transfer mechanism-based upconversion luminescent nanosensor for the sensitive and selective detection of hypochlorite in aqueous solution. In this nanosensor water-dispersible upconversion nanoparticles act as the energy donor and a novel hypochlorite-responsive coordination complex Zn(DZ)3 is employed as the energy acceptor. The quenched upconversion luminescence, induced by the Zn(DZ)3 complex, can be efficiently recovered after addition of hypochlorite through the selective oxidative breakage of the Zn-S-C bonds in the Zn(DZ)3 complex, which was verified by mass spectrometry. The detection limit for hypochlorite of this sensing system is as low as 3 nM. Furthermore, this newly coordination-complex engineered upconversion nanosensor is successfully applied to image different amounts of exogenous hypochlorite in living HeLa cells.

Abstract
Herein we report a convenient and sensitive method for the detection of telomerase activity based on upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) modified cellulose paper. Compared with many solution-phase systems, this paper chip is more stable and easily stores the test results. What's more, the low background fluorescence of the UCNPs increases the sensitivity of this method, and the low telomerase levels in different cell lines can clearly be discriminated by the naked eye.

Abstract
CONSPECTUS: Photon upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have emerged as a promising new class of nanomaterials due to their ability to convert near-IR light into visible luminescence. Unfortunately, most efficient methods for preparing UCNPs yield hydrophobic materials, but water-dispersibility is needed in the major fields of applications of UCNPs, that is, in bioimaging, labeling, and bioassays. Numerous methods therefore have been reported in the past years to convert the hydrophobic surface of UCNPs to a more hydrophilic one so to render them dispersible in aqueous systems. We present a classification respective for these strategies and assess the main methods. These include (A) chemical modification of the hydrophobic (typically oleate) ligand on the surface, (B) addition of an extra layer, (C) addition of a thin shell on top of the UCNP, and (D) complete replacement of the original ligand by another one. Chemical modification (A) involves oxidation of the oleate or oleylamine and leads to particles with terminal oxygen functions. This method is less often used because solutions of the resulting UCNPs in water have limited colloidal stability, protocols are time-consuming and often give low yields, and only a limited number of functional groups can be introduced. Methods B and C involve coating of UCNPs with amphiphiles or with shells made from silica oxide, titanium oxide, or metallic gold or silver. These methods are quite versatile in terms of further modifications, for example, by further cross-linking or by applying thiol-gold chemistry. Growing an extra shell is, however, often accompanied by a higher polydispersity. Method D can be divided into subgroups based on either (i) the direct (single-step) replacement of the native ligand by a new ligand or (ii) two-step protocols using nitrosyltetrafluoroborate (NOBF4) or strong acids as reagents to produce ligand-free UCNPs prior to the attachment of a new ligand. These methods are simple and versatile, and the distance between the new ligand and the luminescent particle can be well controlled. However, the particles often have limited stability in buffer systems. The methods described also are of wider interest because they are likely to be applicable to other kinds of nanomaterials. We additionally address the need for (a) a better control of particle size and homogeneity during synthesis, (b) more reproducible methods for surface loading and modification, (c) synthetic methods giving higher yields of UCNPs, (d) materials displaying higher quantum yields in water solution without the need for tedious surface modifications, (e) improved methods for workup (including the suppression of aggregation), (f) new methods for surface characterization, and (g) more affordable reagents for use in surface modification. It is noted that most synthetic research in the area is of the trial-and-error kind, presumably due to the lack of understanding of the mechanisms causing current limitations. Finally, all particles are discussed in terms of their biocompatibility (as far as data are available), which is quintessential in terms of imaging, the largest field of application.

Abstract
Optical sensing can provide opportunity for simultaneous determination of multiple targets as well as for implementation of ratiometric methods that can improve accuracy and precision. Herein we report a paper-based two-color oligonucleotide detection assay with tunable sensitivity that is based on use of a single type of upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP). Water-soluble UCNPs were designed to concurrently offer green and red emission. These avidin functionalized UCNPs were adsorbed onto a cellulose support, and Cy3 was used as a green channel acceptor for Survival Motor Neuron (SMN1) target, and Cy5.5 was the red channel acceptor for the glucuronidase gene (uidA) target. Selective DNA hybridization of the labeled targets with the corresponding probe provided emission from dyes, which was the basis for concurrent quantification of both targets. The limit of detection (LOD) could be tuned by changing the relative ratio of the SMN1 and uidA probes. A higher proportion of a probe provided for a lower LOD. When the SMN1/uidA probe ratio was 1:4, the LOD for SMN1 and uidA target were 54.3 and 30.5 fmol, and when the probe ratio was 4:1, the LOD for the above targets were 22.1 and 1260 fmol, respectively. Selectivity evaluation showed that one base pair mismatched DNA for SMN1 and uidA could be discriminated in most cases. The assay showed resistance to nonspecific adsorption of interfering DNA and protein and was even functional for targets in undiluted serum. This work represents a significant step in the development of paper-based multiplexed UCNP luminescence assays.

Abstract
Targeted drug delivery using functional nanoparticles has provided new strategies for improving therapeutic efficacy while concurrently minimizing toxicity. Photodynamic therapy is an approach that offers control of drug delivery by use of an external photon source to allow active therapeutic release to a target area. Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) have potential to operate as integral components of photodynamic therapeutic platforms based on the resonant absorption of near-infrared (NIR) radiation and emission at shorter wavelengths. NIR radiation is minimally absorbed and scattered by biological tissues, and the NIR excitation of UCNPs can generate anti-Stokes emission in the ultraviolet-visible wavelength range at intensities that can be used to trigger cleavage of bonds linking therapeutics at the nanoparticle interface. Herein, we describe an investigation of photocleavage at the surface of UCNPs to release the chemotherapeutic 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Core-shell UCNPs composed of a β-NaYF4: 4.95% Yb, 0.08% Tm core and a β-NaYF4 shell were coated with o-phosphorylethanolamine ligands and coupled to an o-nitrobenzyl (ONB) derivative of 5-FU. NIR excitation of the UCNPs resulted in photoluminescence (PL) emission bands centered at 365, 455, and 485 nm. The UV-blue PL was in resonance with the absorption band of the ONB-FU derivative resulting in photocleavage and subsequent release of the 5-FU drug from the UCNPs for these in vitro studies. The release of 5-FU was complete in <14 min using a NIR laser source centered at 980 nm that operated at a power of <100 mW. The efficiency of triggered release was as high as 77% of the total ONB-FU conjugate, while the rate of drug release could be tuned with the laser power output. This work provides an important first step in the development of a UCNP platform capable of targeted chemotherapy.

Amine modified UCNPs were prepared from oleic acid capped UCNPs by ligand exchange using o-phosphorylethanolamine (PEA). PEA-UCNPs were covalently immobilized on aldehyde functionalized coverslips. Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) images indicated a homogeneous distribution of UCNPs on surfaces with a high immobilization density of approximately 1.3 × 10(11) UCNP cm(-2). This is the first account of covalent immobilization of UCNPs for bioassay and biosensor development where the density is on par with the high immobilization densities reported for other types of nanoparticles. The functionality and stability of the immobilized NPs were demonstrated by examining an LRET-based bioassay. The well-known sandwich assay for the detection of thrombin was selected as a model in which UCNPs were used as donors and quantum dots (QDs) as acceptors. The closely packed UCNPs on the glass surface showed a 2.5-fold enhancement in assay sensitivity compared to less-densely packed surfaces. In addition, a 1.5-fold enhancement in energy transfer efficiency was shown for solid-phase compared to solution-phase LRET.

Abstract
Acidic pH inside cells indicates cellular dysfunctions such as cancer. Therefore, the development of optical pH sensors for measuring and imaging intracellular pH is a demanding challenge. The available pH-sensitive probes are vulnerable to e.g. photobleaching or autofluorescence background in biological materials. Our approach circumvents these problems due to near infrared excitation and upconversion photoluminescence. We introduce a nanosensor based on upconversion resonance energy transfer (UC-RET) between an upconverting nanoparticle (UCNP) and a fluorogenic pH-dependent dye pHrodo™ Red that was covalently bound to the aminosilane surface of the nanoparticles. The sensitized fluorescence of the pHrodo™ Red dye increases strongly with decreasing pH. By referencing the pH-dependent emission of pHrodo™ Red with the pH-insensitive upconversion photoluminescence of the UCNP, we developed a pH-sensor which exhibits a dynamic range from pH 7.2 to 2.5. The applicability of the introduced pH nanosensor for pH imaging was demonstrated by imaging the two emission wavelengths of the nanoprobe in living HeLa cells with a confocal fluorescence microscope upon 980 nm excitation. This demonstrates that the presented pH-nanoprobe can be used as an intracellular pH-sensor due to the unique features of UCNPs: excitation with deeply penetrating near-infrared light, high photostability, lack of autofluorescence and biocompatibility due to an aminosilane coating.
