Abstract
Timely screening for harmful pathogens is a great challenge in emergencies where traditional culture methods suffer from long assay time and alternative methods are limited by poor accuracy and low robustness. Herein, we present a dCas9-mediated colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-signal platform (dCas9-CSD) to address this challenge. Strategically, the platform used dCas9 to accurately recognize the repetitive sequences in amplicons produced by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), forming nucleic acid frameworks that assemble numerous bifunctional gold-platinum (Au@Pt) nanozymes into chains on the surface of streptavidin-magnetic beads (SA-MB). The collected Au@Pt converted colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB) via its Pt shell and then enhanced the Raman signal of oxTMB by its Au core. Therefore, the presence of Salmonella could be dexterously converted into cross-validated colorimetric and SERS signals, providing more reliable conclusions. Notably, dCas9-mediated secondary recognition of amplicons reduced background signal caused by nontarget amplification, and two-round signal amplification consisting of LAMP reaction and Au@Pt catalysis greatly improved the sensitivity. With this design, Salmonella as low as 1 CFU/mL could be detected within 50 min by colorimetric and SERS modes. The robustness of dCas9-CSD was further confirmed by various real samples such as lake water, cabbage, milk, orange juice, beer, and eggs. This work provides a promising point-of-need tool for pathogen detection.

Abstract
Biosensors are currently among the most commonly used devices for analysing biomarkers and play an important role in environmental detection, food safety, and disease diagnosis. Researchers have developed multimodal biosensors instead of single-modal biosensors to meet increasing sensitivity, accuracy, and stability requirements. Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) are beneficial for preparing core probes for multimodal biosensors because of their excellent physical and chemical properties, such as easy regulation and modification, and because they can integrate diverse sensing strategies. This review mainly summarizes the excellent physicochemical properties of MNPs applied as biosensing probes and the principles of commonly used MNP-based multimodal sensing strategies. Recent applications and possible improvements of multimodal biosensors based on MNPs are also described, among which on-site inspection and sensitive detection are particularly important. The current challenges and prospects for multimodal biosensors based on MNPs may provide readers with a new perspective on this field.

Abstract
Influenza (flu) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exhibit similar clinical symptoms, complicating the diagnosis and clinical management of these critical respiratory infections. Thus, there is an urgent need for rapid on-site detection technologies that can simultaneously detect SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A viruses. Here, we have developed the first platform that combines in situ sampling with immune swabs and multichannel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for simultaneous screening of these two respiratory viruses in a single assay. A seed-mediated growth method was used to assemble a number of silver spheres on the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2 spheres, which not only creates extensive Raman hotspots but also provides numerous sites for Raman signaling molecules, enhancing the sensing sensitivity. Integrating two specific Raman signaling molecules into the nanospheres allows for the parallel detection of both viruses, improving the efficiency of SERS signal read-out. Rapid quantitative screening of both SARS-CoV-2 and H1N1 is achievable within 15 min, with detection limits of 7.76, and 8.13 pg·mL-1 for their respective target proteins. The platform demonstrated excellent performance in testing and analyzing 98 clinical samples (SARS-CoV-2:50; influenza A:48), achieving sensitivities of 88.00, and 95.83% for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A, respectively. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a significant correlation with the clinical CT values (P < 0.0001), underscoring the great potential of this platform for the early, rapid, and simultaneous diagnostic discrimination of multiple pathogens.

Abstract
Timely and accurate diagnosis is critical for effective healthcare, yet nearly half the global population lacks access to basic diagnostics. Point-of-care (POC) testing offers partial solutions by enabling low-cost, rapid diagnosis at the patient's location. At-home POC devices have the potential to advance preventive care and early disease detection. Nevertheless, effective sample preparation and detection methods are essential for accurate results. This review surveys recent advances in sample preparation and detection methods at POC. The goal is to provide an in-depth understanding of how these technologies can enhance at-home POC devices. Lateral flow assays, nucleic acid tests, and virus detection methods are at the forefront of POC diagnostic technology, offering rapid and sensitive tools for identifying and measuring pathogens, biomarkers, and viral infections. By illuminating cutting-edge research on assay development for POC diagnostics, this review aims to accelerate progress towards widely available, user-friendly, at-home health monitoring tools that empower individuals in personalized healthcare in the future.

Abstract
Au@Ag core-shell composites were successfully fabricated on urchin-like covalent organic frameworks (COFs), providing a platform with numerous hot spots for the detection of two categories of emerging contaminants: sulfonamide antibiotics and nanoplastics, using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Au seeds (∼10 nm) were generated on the COFs, leveraging the reducing properties of the vinyl and imino groups within the framework. This ensured the growth of dense and uniformly distributed Ag nanoparticles. The COFs exceptionally large surface area (2324 m2 g-1) and high adsorption capacity, significantly contributed to the enrichment and detection of trace pollutants. As a result, using a portable Raman spectrometer, limits of detection of 0.008 μmol L-1 for sulfamethoxazole and 0.029 mg L-1 for polystyrene nanoplastics were achieved.

Abstract
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals potentially infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were forcibly recalled to local or central hospitals, where the diagnostic results were obtained a couple of days after the liquid biopsies were subjected to conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This slow output of such a complex and time-consuming laboratory procedure hindered its widespread application. To overcome the limitations associated with such a centralized diagnostic system, we developed a hand-held and all-in-one type test kit in which the analytical results can be obtained in only 30 min. The test kit consists of three major steps for on-site SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection: 1) virus lysis by heat, 2) RNA enrichment by membrane, and 3) real-time detection by colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification (c-LAMP). The proposed device operates in a sample-to-answer format, is fully automated, and reduces dependence on traditional laboratory settings, facilitating large-scale population screening.

Abstract
In this work, an ultra-sensitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) with SERS/colorimetric dual signal mode was constructed for the detection of nitrofurazone metabolites, an antibiotic prohibited in animal-origin foods. Au@4-MBN@AgNRs nano-sandwich structural signal tag integrates the unique advantages of high signal-to-background ratio and anti-matrix interference through geometric control of SERS tag and nanoengineering adjustment of chemical composition. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limits of nitrofurazone metabolites by SERS/colorimetric dual-mode LFIA were 20 pg/mL (colorimetric mode) and 0.08 pg/mL (SERS mode). Excitingly, the vLOD of the colorimetric signal improved by a factor of 100 compared to Au NPs-based LFIA. In this study, the proposed dual-mode LFIA was successfully applied to the on-site real-time detection of honey, milk powder, and chicken. It is anticipated that with low background interference and anti-matrix interference output signal, our proposed dual-mode strategy can pave an innovative pathway for the fabrication of a powerful biosensor.

Abstract
The highly infectious characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), highlight the necessity of sensitive and rapid nucleocapsid (N) protein-based antigen testing for early triage and epidemic management. In this study, a colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) platform for the rapid and sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV-2 N protein was developed based on gold nanorods (GNRs), which possessed tunable local surface plasma resonance (LSPR) absorption peaks from UV-visible to near-infrared (NIR). The LSPR peak was adjusted to match the NIR emission laser 808 nm by controlling the length-to-diameter ratio, which could maximize the photothermal conversion efficiency and achieve photothermal detection signal amplification. Qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein was achieved by observing the strip color, and the limit of detection was 2 ng mL-1, while that for photothermal detection was 0.096 ng mL-1. Artificial saliva samples spiked with the N protein were analyzed with the recoveries ranging from 84.38% to 107.72%. The intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 6.76% and 10.39%, respectively. We further evaluated the reliability of this platform by detecting 40 clinical samples collected from nasal swabs, and the results matched well with that of nucleic acid detection (87.5%). This method shows great promise in early disease diagnosis and screening.

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.

Colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering dual-mode lateral flow immunosensor using phage-displayed shark nanobody for the detection of crustacean allergen tropomyosin. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 468:133821. [PMID: 38377914 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
Tropomyosin (TM) is the primary allergenic protein responsible for crustacean food allergies, and thus sensitive and rapid methods are required for the screening of crustacean TM in food. In this study, using the phage-displayed shark nanobody (PSN) as a multifunctional biomaterial, we developed a colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering dual-mode lateral flow immunosensor (CM/SERS-LFI) for competitive detection of crustacean TM. The SERS tag AuMBA@AgNPs with the Raman signal molecule 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) was prepared and immobilized on the PSN to construct the immunoprobe AuMBA@Ag-PSN. The probe can identify free TM that competes with TM on the T-line, and the optimized CM/SERS-LFI enables quantitative analysis of TM using the probe with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0026 μg/mL (SERS mode) and 0.0057 μg/mL (colorimetric mode), respectively. Additionally, it can implement a qualitative analysis by the naked eye with a visual LOD of 0.01 μg/mL. The CM/SERS-LFI exhibited excellent performance in the tests of selectivity, accuracy, precision, and stability. Moreover, the method's effectiveness in the analysis of real samples was confirmed by a commercial ELISA kit. Therefore, the developed CM/SERS-LFI was demonstrated to be a powerful and reliable tool for the rapid and sensitive detection of crustacean TM in food.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria infections pose a significant threat to global public health, making the development of rapid and reliable detection methods urgent. Here, we developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and colorimetric dual-mode platform, termed smartphone-integrated CRISPR/Cas9-mediated lateral flow strip (SCC-LFS), and applied it to the ultrasensitive detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Strategically, functionalized silver-coated gold nanostar (AuNS@Ag) was prepared and used as the labeling material for LFS assay. In the presence of S. aureus, target gene-induced amplicons can be accurately recognized and unwound by the user-defined CRISPR/Cas9 system, forming intermediate bridges that bind many AuNS@Ag to the test line (T-line) of the strip. As a result, the T-line was colored and a recognizable SERS signal was obtained using a smartphone-integrated portable Raman spectrometer. This design not only maintains the simplicity of visual readout, but also integrates the quantitative capability of SERS, enabling the user to flexibly select the assay mode as needed. With this method, S. aureus down to 1 CFU/mL can be detected by both colorimetric and SERS modes, which is better than most existing methods. By incorporating a rapid extraction procedure, the entire assay can be completed in 45 min. The robustness and practicality of the method were further demonstrated by various real samples, indicating its considerable potential toward reliable screening of S. aureus.

Abstract
The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak created an unprecedented need for rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective point-of-care diagnostic tests to prevent and mitigate the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Herein, we demonstrated an advanced lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) platform with dual-functional [colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)] detection of the spike 1 (S1) protein of SARS-CoV-2. The nanosensor was integrated with a specially designed core-gap-shell morphology consisting of a gold shell decorated with external nanospheres, a structure referred to as gold nanocrown (GNC), labeled with a Raman reporter molecule 1,3,3,1',3',3'-hexamethyl-2,2'-indotricarbocyanine iodide (HITC) to produce a strong colorimetric signal as well as an enhanced SERS signal. Among the different plasmonics-active GNC nanostructures, the GNC-2 morphology, which has a shell decorated with an optimum number and size of nanospheres, produces an intense dark-blue colorimetric signal and ultrahigh SERS signal. The limit of detection (LOD) of the S1 protein via colorimetric detection LFIA was determined to be 91.24 pg/mL. On the other hand, the LOD for the SERS LFIA method was more than three orders of magnitude lower at 57.21 fg/mL. Furthermore, we analyzed the performance of the GNC-2 nanosensor for directly analyzing the S1 protein spiked in saliva samples without any sample pretreatment and achieving the LOD as low as 39.65 fg/mL using SERS-based plasmonics-enhanced LFIA, indicating ultrahigh detection sensitivity. Overall, our GNC nanosensor showed excellent sensitivity, reproducibility, and rapid detection of the SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein, demonstrating excellent potential as a promising point-of-care platform for the early detection of respiratory virus infections.

Abstract
This study introduces a novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based lateral flow test (LFT) dipstick that integrates digital analysis for highly sensitive and rapid viral quantification. The SERS-LFT dipsticks, incorporating gold-silver core-shell nanoparticle probes, enable pixel-based digital analysis of large-area SERS scans. Such an approach enables ultralow-level detection of viruses that readily distinguishes positive signals from background noise at the pixel level. The developed digital SERS-LFTs demonstrate limits of detection (LODs) of 180 fg for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, 120 fg for nucleocapsid protein, and 7 plaque forming units for intact virus, all within <30 min. Importantly, digital SERS-LFT methods maintain their robustness and their LODs in the presence of indoor dust, thus underscoring their potential for accurate and reliable virus diagnosis and quantification in real-world environmental settings.

Abstract
Dual-mode sensing has attracted more attentions which provide more accurate and reliable approach of cancer-related biomarkers. Herein, we developed a novel SERS/electrochemical dual-mode biosensor for miRNA 21 detection based on Exo III-assisted signal transformation. Firstly, the Au NPs were deposited on electrode as SERS substrate and Mn3O4/S4(DNA signal strand) was modified on Au NPs/S5 by the DNA strands S5-S4 pairing principle as hydrogen peroxide catalyst, leading to an obviously high DPV electrical signal without Raman signal. Subsequently, the presence of miRNA 21 will activate the Mn3O4/S4 to be decomposed under exonuclease III-assisted process, then the S3' chains modified with Raman molecular Cy3(Cy3-S3') is continuously connected to the Au NPs/S5 by DNA stands S5-S3' pairing principle, leading to the Raman signal response and DPV signal reduction. The biosensor shows good linear calibration curves of both SERS and electrochemical sensing modes with the detection limit of 3.98 × 10-3 nM and 6.89 × 10-5 nM, respectively. This work finds an ingenious mode for dual detection of microRNA on a same interface, which opens a new strategy for SERS and electrochemical analysis.

Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has been widely used for the early diagnosis of diseases. However, conventional colorimetric LFIA possesses limited sensitivity, and the single-mode readout signal is easily affected by the external environment, leading to insufficient accuracy. Herein, multifunctional Fe3O4@MoS2@Pt nanotags with a unique "pompon mum"-like structure were triumphantly prepared, exhibiting excellent peroxidase (POD)-like activity, photothermal properties, and magnetic separation capability. Furthermore, the Fe3O4@MoS2@Pt nanotags were used to establish dual-mode LFIA (dLFIA) for the first time, enabling the catalytic colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleocapsid protein (SARS-CoV-2 NP) and influenza A (H1N1). The calculated limits of detection (cLODs) of SARS-CoV-2 NP and H1N1 were 80 and 20 ng/mL in catalytic colorimetric mode and 10 and 8 ng/mL in photothermal mode, respectively, demonstrating about 100 times more sensitive than the commercial colloidal Au-LFIA strips (1 ng/mL for SARS-CoV-2 NP; 1 μg/mL for H1N1). The recovery rates of dLFIA in simulated nose swab samples were 95.2-103.8% with a coefficient of variance of 2.3-10.1%. These results indicated that the proposed dLFIA platform showed great potential for the rapid diagnosis of respiratory viruses.

Abstract
The ultrasensitive detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) nucleic acid is crucial for the early diagnosis of hepatitis C. In this study, by combining Ag@Au core/shell nanoparticle (Ag@AuNP)-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tag with hybridization chain reaction (HCR), a novel SERS-sensing method was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of HCV nucleic acid. This SERS-sensing system comprised two different SERS tags, which were constructed by modifying Ag@AuNP with a Raman reporter molecule of 4-ethynylbezaldehyde, two different hairpin-structured HCR sequences (H1 or H2), and a detection plate prepared by immobilizing a capture DNA sequence onto the Ag@AuNP layer surface of the detection wells. When the target nucleic acid was present, the two SERS tags were captured on the surface of the Ag@AuNP-coated detection well to generate many "hot spots" through HCR, forming a strong SERS signal and realizing the ultrasensitive detection of the target HCV nucleic acid. The limit of detection of the SERS-sensing method for HCV nucleic acid was 0.47 fM, and the linear range was from 1 to 105 fM.

Abstract
In addition to confirming virus infection, quantitative identification of the antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) also evaluates persons immunity to guide personal protection. However, portable assays for fast and accurate quantification of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies remain challenging. In this work, we synthesized Au@Pt star-like nanoparticles (NPs) quickly and easily by a one-pot wet-chemical approach, allowing the stellate Au core to be partially decorated by Pt nanoshells. The nanoparticles were used as probe in a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) that operated in both colorimetric and photothermal dual modes, which could detect the antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein with high sensitivity. Due to the sharp tips on the external region of nanostars and surface plasmon coupling effect between the Au core and Pt shell, the NIR absorption capacity and photothermal performance of these NPs were exceptional. Under optimal conditions, the colorimetric mode's detection limit for SARS-CoV-2 N protein antibody was 1 ng mL-1, which is significantly lower by 2-order of magnitude compared to commercially available colloidal gold strips. And the detection limit for the photothermal mode was as low as 24.91 pg mL-1, which was approximately 40-fold more sensitive than colorimetric detection. Moreover, the method demonstrated favorable specificity, reproducibility and stability. Finally, the approach was employed for the successful identification of actual serum samples. Therefore, the dual-mode LFIA can be applied for screening and tracking the early immunological reaction to SARS-CoV-2, and it has great promise for clinical application.

Abstract
Nanomaterials show great potential for applications in biosensing due to their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. However, the single-modal signal sensing mechanism greatly limits the development of single-modal nanoprobes and their related sensors. Multi-modal nanoprobes can realize the output of fluorescence, colorimetric, electrochemical, and magnetic signals through composite nanomaterials, which can effectively compensate for the defects of single-modal nanoprobes. Following the multi-modal nanoprobes, multi-modal biosensors break through the performance limitation of the current single-modal signal and realize multi-modal signal reading. Herein, the current status and classification of multi-modal nanoprobes are provided. Moreover, the multi-modal signal sensing mechanisms and the working principle of multi-modal biosensing platforms are discussed in detail. We also focus on the applications in pharmaceutical detection, food and environmental fields. Finally, we highlight this field's challenges and development prospects to create potential enlightenment.

Dosage-sensitive and simultaneous detection of multiple small-molecule pollutants in environmental water and agriproducts using portable SERS-based lateral flow immunosensor. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:169440. [PMID: 38123096 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
The co-contamination of pesticide residues and mycotoxins in agricultural products is a global concern, with the potential for cumulative and synergistic damaging effects, imposing substantial health and economic burdens to the public. The dosage-sensitive and simultaneous detection of multiple pollutants, with a heightened sensitivity in real samples, poses a significant demand and challenge. Herein, we propose a portable detection method integrating surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-with lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), offering high sensitivity and multiplex analysis capabilities. This approach enables the simultaneous detection of imidacloprid (IMI), pyraclostrobin (PYR) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) through a single test strip. Utilizing the immune-specific binding between antigen and antibodies, we immobilised antibody- conjugated SERS nanotags on three test lines of the strips to generate Raman signal amplification in the proposed biosensor. Accurate quantitative analysis was performed by measuring the SERS signal intensity on the test lines. The limits of detection were 8.6 pg/mL for IMI, 97.4 pg/mL for PYR and 8.9 pg/mL for AFB1, exhibiting sensitivities 12-fold, 102-fold and11-fold higher than the colorimetric signals, respectively. Importantly, the SERS-LFIA immunosensor demonstrated robust performance when applied to real samples, yielding recoveries ranging from 86.16 % to 115.0 %, with relative standard deviation values below 8.67 %. These results underscore the excellent stability, high selectivity and reliability the proposed SERS-LFIA immunosensor. Consequently, it holds promise for the detection of multiple pesticides and mycotoxins in both environmental and agricultural samples.

Abstract
Nanostructures have played a key role in the development of different techniques to attack severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Some applications include masks, vaccines, and biosensors. The latter are of great interest for detecting diseases since some of their features allowed us to find specific markers in secretion samples such as saliva, blood, and even tears. Herein, we highlight how hierarchical nanoparticles integrated into two or more low-dimensional materials present outstanding advantages that are attractive for photonic biosensing using their nanoscale functions. The potential of nanohybrids with their superlative mechanical characteristics together with their optical and optoelectronic properties is discussed. The progress in the scientific research focused on using nanoparticles for biosensing a variety of viruses has become a medical milestone in recent years, and has laid the groundwork for future disease treatments. This perspective analyzes the crucial information about the use of hierarchical nanostructures in biosensing for the prevention, treatment, and mitigation of SARS-CoV-2 effects.

Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has played a vital role in point-of-care (POC) testing on account of its simplicity, rapidity, and low cost. However, the low sensitivity and difficulty of quantitation limit its further development. Sensitive markers with new detection modes are being developed to dramatically improve LFIA's performance. Herein, a ligand-complex approach was proposed to uniformly coat a thin layer of Au onto Ag triangular nanoplates (Ag TNPs) without etching the Ag cores, which not only retain the unique optical properties from Ag TNPs but also acquire the surface stability and biocompatibility of gold. The localized surface plasmon resonance absorption of these Ag@Au TNPs could be finely adjusted from visible (550 nm) to the second near-infrared region (NIR-II) (1100 nm), and even longer, by simply adjusting the ratio between edge length and thickness. Utilizing the Ag@Au TNPs as new markers for LFIA, a highly sensitive colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode detection of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein was achieved with a very low background. The Ag@Au TNPs showed an exceedingly high photothermal conversion efficiency of 61.4% (ca. 2 times higher than that of Au nanorods), endowing the LFIA method with a low photothermal detection limit (40 pg/mL), which was 25-fold lower than that of the colorimetric results. The generality of the method was further verified by the sensitive and accurate analysis of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). This method is robust, reproducible, and highly specific and has been successfully applied to SARS-COV-2 detection in 35 clinical samples with satisfactory results, demonstrating its potential for POC applications.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials are unique with excellent functionality and diverse structures. However, agglomerated structures are commonly formed because of small-size effects and surface effects. Their hierarchical assembly into micro particles enables carbon nanomaterials to break the boundaries of classical Geldart particle classification before stable fluidization under gas-solid interactions. Currently, there are few systematic reports regarding the structural evolution and fluidization mechanism of carbon nano agglomerations. Based on existing research on carbon nanomaterials, this article reviews the fluidized structure control and fluidization principles of prototypical carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as well as their nanocomposites. The controlled agglomerate fluidization technology leads to the successful mass production of agglomerated and aligned CNTs. In addition, the self-similar agglomeration of individual ultralong CNTs and nanocomposites with silicon as model systems further exemplify the important role of surface structure and particle-fluid interactions. These emerging nano agglomerations have endowed classical fluidization technology with more innovations in advanced applications like energy storage, biomedical, and electronics. This review aims to provide insights into the connections between fluidization and carbon nanomaterials by highlighting their hierarchical structural evolution and the principle of agglomerated fluidization, expecting to showcase the vitality and connotation of fluidization science and technology in the new era.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogenic microorganisms are among the most harmful public health problems in the world, causing tens of millions of deaths and incalculable economic losses every year. The establishment of rapid, simple, and highly sensitive diagnostic methods for pathogenic microorganisms is important for the prevention and control of infectious diseases, guidance of timely treatment, and the reduction of public safety risks. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) based on the colorimetric signal of colloidal gold is the most popular point-of-care testing technology at present, but it is limited by poor sensitivity and low throughput and hardly meets the needs of the highly sensitive screening of pathogenic microorganisms. In recent years, the combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and LFA technology has developed into a novel analytical platform with high sensitivity and multiple detection capabilities and has shown great advantages in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and infectious diseases. This review summarizes the working principle, design ideas, and application of the existing SERS-based LFA methods in pathogenic microorganism detection and further introduces the effect of new technologies such as Raman signal encoding, magnetic enrichment, novel membrane nanotags, and integrated Raman reading equipment on the performance of SERS-LFA. Finally, the main challenges and the future direction of development in this field of SERS-LFA are discussed.

ACS APPLIED NANO MATERIALS 2024; 7:498-508.

Abstract
Foodborne allergies and illnesses represent a major global health concern. In particular, fish can trigger life-threatening food allergic reactions and poisoning effects, mainly caused by the ingestion of parvalbumin toxin. Additionally, preformed histamine in less-than-fresh fish serves as a toxicological alert. Consequently, the analytical assessment of parvalbumin and histamine levels in fish becomes a critical public health safety measure. The multiplex detection of both analytes has emerged as an important issue. The analytical detection of parvalbumin and histamine requires different assays; while the determination of parvalbumin is commonly carried out by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, histamine is analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. In this study, we present an approach for multiplexing detection and quantification of trace amounts of parvalbumin and histamine in canned fish. This is achieved through a colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman-scattering-based competitive lateral flow assay (SERS-LFIA) employing plasmonic nanoparticles. Two distinct SERS nanotags tailored for histamine or β-parvalbumin detection were synthesized. Initially, spherical 50 nm Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) were encoded with either rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RBITC) or malachite green isothiocyanate (MGITC). Subsequently, these nanoparticles were bioconjugated with anti-β-parvalbumin and antihistamine, forming the basis for our detection and quantification methodology. Additionally, our approach demonstrates the use of SERS-LFIA for the sensitive and multiplexed detection of parvalbumin and histamine on a single test line, paving the way for on-site detection employing portable Raman instruments.

Abstract
The lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a sought-after point-of-care testing platform, yet the insufficient sensitivity of the LFIA limits its application in the detection of tumor biomarkers. Here, a colorimetric signal amplification method, bimetallic nanozyme-mediated in situ-catalyzed reporter deposition (BN-ISCRD), was designed for ultrasensitive cancer diagnosis. The bimetallic nanozyme used, palladium@iridium core-shell nanoparticles (Pd@Ir NPs), had ultrahigh enzyme-like activity, which was further explained by the electron transfer of Pd@Ir NPs and the change in the Gibbs free energy during catalysis through density functional theory calculations. With gastric cancer biomarkers pepsinogen I and pepsinogen II as model targets, this assay could achieve a cutoff value of 10 pg/mL, which was 200-fold lower than that without signal enhancement. The assay was applied to correctly identify 8 positive and 28 negative clinical samples. Overall, this BN-ISCRD-based LFIA showed great merits and potential in the application of ultrasensitive disease diagnosis.

Abstract
A multimodal analytical strategy utilizing different modalities to cross-validate each other, can effectively minimize false positives or negatives and ensure the accuracy of detection results. Herein, we establish a colorimetric, photothermal, and fluorescent triple modal CRISPR/Cas12a detection platform (CPF-CRISPR). An MNPs-ssDNA-HRP signal probe is designed to act as a substrate to trigger three signal outputs. In the presence of the DNA target, MNPs-ssDNA-HRP is cleaved by the activated CRISPR/Cas12a, resulting in the release of HRP and generating short DNA strands with 3-terminal hydroxyl on magnetic beads. The released HRP subsequently catalyzed TMB-H2O2 reaction and oxidized TMB is used for colorimetric and photothermal signal detection. Under the catalysis of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), the remaining short DNA strands are used as primers to form poly-T and function as scaffolds to form copper nanoclusters for fluorescent signal output. To verify the practical application of CPF-CRISPR, we employed MRSA as a model. The results demonstrate the platform's high accuracy and sensitivity, with a limit of detection of 101 CFU/mL when combined with recombinase polymerase amplification. Therefore, by harnessing the programmability of CRISPR/Cas12a, the biosensor has the potential to detect various drug-resistant bacteria, demonstrating significant practical applicability.

Abstract
Advances in microfluidic device miniaturization and system integration contribute to the development of portable, handheld, and smartphone-compatible devices. These advancements in diagnostics have the potential to revolutionize the approach to detect and respond to future pandemics. Accordingly, herein, recent advances in point-of-care testing (POCT) of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using various microdevices, including lateral flow assay strips, vertical flow assay strips, microfluidic channels, and paper-based microfluidic devices, are reviewed. However, visual determination of the diagnostic results using only microdevices leads to many false-negative results due to the limited detection sensitivities of these devices. Several POCT systems comprising microdevices integrated with portable optical readers have been developed to address this issue. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, effective POCT strategies for COVID-19 based on optical detection methods have been established. They can be categorized into fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, and wearable sensing. We introduced next-generation pandemic sensing methods incorporating artificial intelligence that can be used to meet global health needs in the future. Additionally, we have discussed appropriate responses of various testing devices to emerging infectious diseases and prospective preventive measures for the post-pandemic era. We believe that this review will be helpful for preparing for future infectious disease outbreaks.

Abstract
Although nanozymes with intrinsic enzyme-like characteristics have aroused great interest in the biosensing field, the challenge is to keep high enzyme-like activity of the nanozyme after the modification of biomolecules onto nanozymes. Herein, a functional zonation strategy of a heterodimer nanozyme was proposed to tackle the challenge and further construct a multiple chemiluminescence (CL) imaging immunoassay. Here Fe3O4-Au as a heterodimer nanozyme model was divided into two zones, in which Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were regarded as a nanozyme zone and AuNPs were defined as an antibody immobilization zone. A signal amplification probe (Fe3O4-Au-Ab2) was prepared by modifying the secondary antibody (Ab2) on AuNPs of the Fe3O4-Au heterodimer owing to the Au-S bond. The exposed Fe3O4 of the Fe3O4-Au-Ab2 probe shows very high peroxidase-like activity and can efficiently catalyze H2O2-luminol to produce strong CL imaging signals for multiple antigens detection. Using chicken interleukin-4 (ChIL-4) and chicken gamma interferon (ChIFN-γ) as models, the proposed CL imaging immunoassay shows wide linear ranges (0.005-0.10 ng/mL for both ChIL-4 and ChIFN-γ) and low detection limits (0.58 pg/mL for ChIL-4, 0.47 pg/mL for ChIFN-γ) with the characteristics of high sensitivity, high specificity, and good stability. This work provides a promising functional zonation concept for nanozymes to construct new types of nanozyme probes for immunoassay of multiple biomolecules.

Abstract
The rapid development of nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology has allowed the emergence of various therapeutic modalities with excellent therapeutic efficiency and biosafety, among which, the sonodynamic therapy (SDT), a combination of low-intensity ultrasound and sonosensitizers, is emerging as a promising noninvasive treatment modality for cancer treatment due to its deeper penetration, good patient compliance, and minimal damage to normal tissue. The sonosensitizers are indispensable components in the SDT process because their structure and physicochemical properties are decisive for therapeutic efficacy. Compared to the conventional and mostly studied organic sonosensitizers, inorganic sonosensitizers (noble metal-based, transition metal-based, carbon-based, and silicon-based sonosensitizers) display excellent stability, controllable morphology, and multifunctionality, which greatly expand their application in SDT. In this review, the possible mechanisms of SDT including the cavitation effect and reactive oxygen species generation are briefly discussed. Then, the recent advances in inorganic sonosensitizers are systematically summarized and their formulations and antitumor effects, particularly highlighting the strategies for optimizing the therapeutic efficiency, are outlined. The challenges and future perspectives for developing state-of-the-art sonosensitizers are also discussed. It is expected that this review will shed some light on future screening of decent inorganic sonosensitizers for SDT.

Abstract
The global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been catastrophic to both human health and social development. Therefore, developing highly reliable and sensitive point-of-care testing (POCT) for detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a priority. Among all available POCTs, the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA, also known as immunochromatography) has proved to be effective due to its accuracy, portability, convenience, and speed. In areas with a scarcity of laboratory resources and medical personnel, the LFIA provides an affordable option for the diagnosis of COVID-19. This review offers a comprehensive overview of methods for improving the sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 detection using immunochromatography based on nanotechnology, sorted according to the different detection targets (antigens, antibodies, and nucleic acids). It also looks into the performance and properties of the various sensitivity enhancement strategies, before delving into the remaining challenges in COVID-19 diagnosis through LFIA. Ultimately, it seeks to provide helpful guidance in selecting an appropriate strategy for SARS-CoV-2 immunochromatographic detection based on nanotechnology.

Abstract
Herein, we successfully developed a thread-based analytical device (μTAD) for simultaneous immunosensing of two biomolecules with attomolar sensitivity by using a photothermal effect. A photothermal effect exploits a strong light-to-heat energy conversion of plasmonic metallic nanoparticles at localized surface plasmon resonance. The key innovation is to utilize the cotton thread to realize this sensor and the use of chitosan modification for enhancing the microfluidic properties, for improving the efficiency of photothermal conversion, and for sensor stability. The developed μTAD sensor consists of (i) a sample zone, (ii) a conjugation zone coated with gold nanoparticles bound with an antibody (AuNPs-Ab2), and (iii) a test zone immobilized with a capture antibody (anti-Ab1). The prepared μTAD is assembled in a custom three-dimensional (3D) printed device which holds the laser for illumination and the thermometer for readout. The 3D-printed supportive device enhances signal response by focusing light and localizing the heat generated. For proof of concept, simultaneous sensing of two key stress and inflammation biomarkers, namely, cortisol and interleukin-6 (IL-6), are monitored using this technique. Under optimization, this device exhibited a detection linear range of 2.0-14.0 ag/mL (R2 = 0.9988) and 30.0-360.0 fg/mL (R2 = 0.9942) with a detection limit (LOD) of 1.40 ag/mL (∼3.86 amol/L) and 20.0 fg/mL (∼950.0 amol/L) for cortisol and IL-6, respectively. Furthermore, the analysis of both biomolecules in human samples indicated recoveries in the range of 98.8%-102.88% with the highest relative standard deviation being 3.49%, offering great accuracy and precision. These results are the highest reported sensitivity for these analytes using an immunoassay method. Our PT-μTAD strategy is therefore a promising approach for detecting biomolecules in resource-limited point-of-care settings.

Abstract
DNA-mediated nanotechnology has become a research hot spot in recent decades and is widely used in the field of biosensing analysis due to its distinctive properties of precise programmability, easy synthesis and high stability. Multi-mode analytical methods can provide sensitive, accurate and complementary analytical information by merging two or more detection techniques with higher analytical throughput and efficiency. Currently, the development of DNA-mediated multi-mode analytical methods by integrating DNA-mediated nanotechnology with multi-mode analytical methods has been proved to be an effective assay for greatly enhancing the selectivity, sensitivity and accuracy, as well as detection throughput, for complex biological analysis. In this paper, the recent progress in the preparation of typical DNA-mediated multi-mode probes is reviewed from the aspect of deoxyribozyme, aptamer, templated-DNA and G-quadruplex-mediated strategies. Then, the advances in DNA-mediated multi-mode analytical methods for biological samples are summarized in detail. Moreover, the corresponding current applications for biomarker analysis, bioimaging analysis and biological monitoring are introduced. Finally, a proper summary is given and future prospective trends are discussed, hopefully providing useful information to the readers in this research field.

Abstract
It is well-established that different detection modes are necessary for corresponding applications, which can effectively reduce matrix interference and improve the detection accuracy. Here, we reported a magnetic separation method based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-assisted clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a for dual-mode analysis of African swine fever virus (ASFV) genes, including colorimetry and fluorescence. The ASFV gene was selected as the initial RPA template to generate the amplicon. The RPA amplicon was then recognized by CRISPR-associated RNA (crRNA), activating the trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a and leading to the nonspecific cleavage of ssDNA as well as a significant release of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the ALP-ssDNA modified magnetic bead. The released ALP can catalyze para-nitrophenyl phosphate to generate para-nitrophenol, resulting in substantial changes in absorbance and fluorescence, both of which can be used for detection with the naked eye. This strategy allows the sensitive detection of ASFV DNA, with a 20 copies/mL detection limit; no cross-reactivity with other viruses was observed. A good linear relationship was obtained in serum. In addition, this sensor displayed 100% specificity and sensitivity for clinical sample analysis. This method integrates the high sensitivity of fluorescence with easy readout of colorimetry and enables a simple, low-cost, and highly sensitive dual-mode detection of viral nucleic acid, thereby providing a broad prospect for the practical application in the diagnosis of virus infection.

Abstract
Although many approaches have been developed for the quick assessment of SARS-CoV-2 infection, few of them are devoted to the detection of the neutralizing antibody, which is essential for assessing the effectiveness of vaccines. Herein, we developed a tri-mode lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) platform based on gold-silver alloy hollow nanoshells (Au-Ag HNSs) for the sensitive and accurate quantification of neutralizing antibodies. By tuning the shell-to-core ratio, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption band of the Au-Ag HNSs is located within the near infrared (NIR) region, endowing them with an excellent photothermal effect under the irradiation of optical maser at 808 nm. Further, the Raman reporter molecule 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) was immobilized on the gold-silver alloy nanoshell to obtain an enhanced SERS signal. Thus, these Au-Ag HNSs could provide colorimetric, photothermal and SERS signals, with which, tri-mode strips for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody detection were constructed by competitive immunoassay. Since these three kinds of signals could complement one another, a more accurate detection was achieved. The tri-mode LFIA achieved a quantitative detection with detection limit of 20 ng/mL. Moreover, it also successfully detected the serum samples from 98 vaccinated volunteers with 79 positive results, exhibiting great application value in neutralizing antibody detection.

Abstract
Fluorescent gold (Au) nanostructures have emerged as burgeoning materials to fabricate nanomaterial assemblies which play a vital role in improving the detection sensitivity and specificity for various biomolecules. In this work, a fluorescence labelled (Rhodamine-B-Isothiocyanate) silica shell with Au metal core (AuNPs@PVP@RITC@SiO2) and a graphene-Au nanostar nanocomposite (rGO-AuNS) are presented as a metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) material and Raman signal enhancer, respectively. Their composite (AuNPs@PVP@RITC@SiO2NPs/rGO-AuNS) was employed as a dual-mode fluorescence (FL) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoprobe for selective and sensitive detection of T-2 toxin. To comprehend the dual-modality, a core-shell nanostructure, AuNPs@PVP@RITC@SiO2, was functionalized with an aptamer (donor) and adsorbed on the surface of rGO-AuNS through electrostatic forces and π-π stacking which act as a FL quencher and SERS signal enhancer. When exposed to T-2 toxin, the apt-AuNPs@PVP@RITC@SiO2NPs move away from the surface of rGO-AuNS, resulting in the restoration of FL and reduction of the SERS signal. There was distinct linearity between the T-2 toxin concentration and the dual FL and SERS signals with lower limits of detection (LOD) of 85 pM and 12 pM, as compared to the previous methods, respectively. The developed FL and SERS aptasensor presented excellent recovery ratio and RSD in wheat and maize, respectively, as compared with the standard ELISA method. The complementary performances of the developed stratagem revealed a high correlation between the FL and SERS sensing modes with exquisite detection properties.

Colorimetric and Raman dual-mode lateral flow immunoassay detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein antibody based on Ag nanoparticles with ultrathin Au shell assembled onto Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:545-554.

Abstract
Serological antibody tests are useful complements of nuclei acid detection for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, which can significantly improve diagnostic accuracy. However, antibody detection in serum or plasma remains challenging to do with high sensitivity. In this study, Ag nanoparticles with ultra-thin Au shells embedded with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) (AgMBA@Au) were manufactured and then assembled onto Fe3O4 surface by electrostatic interaction to construct the Fe3O4-AgMBA@Au nanoparticles (NPs) with magnetic-Raman-colorimetric properties. Based on the composite nanoparticles, a colorimetric and Raman dual-mode lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for ultrasensitive identification of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein antibody was constructed. The magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) were acted as the core and coated a layer of AgMBA@Au particles on the surface by electrostatic interaction to prepare Fe3O4-AgMBA@Au NPs, which can amplify the SERS signal due to multiple AgMBA@Au particles concentrated on a single magnetic nanoparticle. Moreover, the Fe3O4-AgMBA@Au NPs facilitated pre-purifying sample using magnetic separation, and complex matrix interference would be greatly decreased in the detection. The Fe3O4-AgMBA@Au NPs modified with N protein recognized and bound with N protein antibodies, which were trapped on the T-line, forming color band for observing detection. Under optimal conditions, the N protein antibodies could be qualitatively detected in colorimetric mode with the visual limit of 10-8 mg/mL and quantitatively detected by SERS signals between 10-6 and 10-10 mg /mL with 0.08 pg/mL detection limit. The coefficients variations (CV) of intra-assay was 8.0%, whereas of inter-assay was 11.7%, confirming of good reproducibility. Finally, this approach was able to discriminate between positive, negative, and weakly positive samples when detecting 107 clinical serum samples. The process enables highly sensitive quantitative assays that are valuable for evaluating disease processes and guiding treatment.

Abstract
Au-Fe3O4 multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and integrated with lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for dual-mode detection of Salmonella typhimurium. The Au-Fe3O4 NPs not only combined excellent local surface plasmon resonance characteristics and superparamagnetic properties, but also exhibited good photothermal effect. In the detection, antibody-conjugated Au-Fe3O4 NPs first captured S. typhimurium from complex matrix, which was then loaded on the LFIA strip and trapped by the T-line. By observing the color bands with the naked eyes, qualitative detection was performed free of instrument. By measuring the photothermal signal, quantification was achieved with a portable infrared thermal camera. The introduction of magnetic separation achieved the enrichment and purification of target bacteria, thus enhancing the detection sensitivity and reducing interference. This dual-mode LFIA achieved a visual detection limit of 5 × 105 CFU/mL and a photothermal detection limit of 5 × 104 CFU/mL. Compared with traditional Au-based LFIA, this dual-mode LFIA increased the detection sensitivity by 2 orders of magnitude and could be directly applied to unprocessed milk sample. Besides, this dual-mode LFIA showed good reproducibility and specificity. The intra-assay and inter-assay variation coefficients were 3.0% and 7.9%, and with this dual-mode LFIA, other bacteria hardly produced distinguishable signals. Thus, the Au-Fe3O4 NPs-based LFIA has potential to increase the efficiency of pandemic prevention and control. Au-Fe3O4 nanoparticle proved to be a promising alternative reporter for LFIA, achieving multifunctions: target purification, target enrichment, visual qualitation, and instrumental quantification, which improved the limitations of traditional LFIA.

Abstract
Although SERS has been widely recognized as one of the highly sensitive analytical methods that can be deployed in the field with high sensitivity and short analysis time, reports regarding the fast determination of malathion at low concentrations are still scarce. Here, in this work, the solution pH and various halogen co-adsorbates were explored to promote the SERS signal of malathion using the citrate-reduced Ag NPs. It was found that chloride anions were the most efficient signal booster among the three halogen ions screened. Further examination of the SERS profile of the malathion in the presence of different halogen species found that the stretching mode of the P-S bond shifted to a lower frequency with Cl-, which may imply closer (and stronger) binding of malathion to the Ag NPs. This concurs with literature reports that halogen ions could facilitate the adsorption of a certain analyte onto the SERS substrate. In addition, hydrogen ions showed a synergistic effect on SERS signal enhancement when combined with chloride anions. At optimum conditions, the malathion could be detected with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3 ppb. Malathion-spiked cherry tomatoes and oranges were analyzed, and the recovery rates were found to be within 85-100%.

Abstract
Low-cost, instrument-free colorimetric tests were developed to detect SARS-CoV-2 using plasmonic biosensors with Au nanoparticles functionalized with polyclonal antibodies (f-AuNPs). Intense color changes were noted with the naked eye owing to plasmon coupling when f-AuNPs form clusters on the virus, with high sensitivity and a detection limit of 0.28 PFU mL-1 (PFU stands for plaque-forming units) in human saliva. Plasmon coupling was corroborated with computer simulations using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The strategies based on preparing plasmonic biosensors with f-AuNPs are robust to permit SARS-CoV-2 detection via dynamic light scattering and UV-vis spectroscopy without interference from other viruses, such as influenza and dengue viruses. The diagnosis was made with a smartphone app after processing the images collected from the smartphone camera, measuring the concentration of SARS-CoV-2. Both image processing and machine learning algorithms were found to provide COVID-19 diagnosis with 100% accuracy for saliva samples. In subsidiary experiments, we observed that the biosensor could be used to detect the virus in river waters without pretreatment. With fast responses and requiring small sample amounts (only 20 μL), these colorimetric tests can be deployed in any location within the point-of-care diagnosis paradigm for epidemiological control.

Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has posed a huge challenge to rapid and accurate diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 in the early stage of infection. In this work, we developed a novel magnetic/fluorescent dual-modal lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on multifunctional nanobeads for rapid and accurate determination of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (NP). The multifunctional nanobeads were fabricated by using polyethyleneimine (PEI) as a mediate shell to combine superparamagnetic Fe3O4 core with dual quantum dot shells (MagDQD). The core-shell structure of MagDQD label with high loading density of quantum dots (QDs) and superior magnetic content realized LFIA with dual quantitative analysis modal from the assemblies of individual single nanoparticles. The LFIA integrated the advantages of magnetic signal and fluorescent signal, resulting excellent accuracy for quantitative analysis and high elasticity of the overall detection. In addition, magnetic signal and fluorescent signal both had high sensitivity with the limit of detection (LOD) as 0.235 ng mL-1 and 0.012 ng mL-1, respectively. The recovery rates of the methods in simulated saliva samples were 91.36%-103.60% (magnetic signal) and 94.39%-104.38% (fluorescent signal). The results indicate the method has a considerable potential to be an effective tool for diagnose SARS-CoV-2 in the early stage of infection.

Abstract
The outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has again emphasized the significance of developing rapid and highly sensitive testing tools for quickly identifying infected patients. Although the current reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) diagnostic techniques can satisfy the required sensitivity and specificity, the inherent disadvantages with time-consuming, sophisticated equipment and professional operators limit its application scopes. Compared with traditional detection techniques, optical biosensors based on nanomaterials/nanostructures have received much interest in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 due to the high sensitivity, high accuracy, and fast response. In this review, the research progress on optical biosensors in SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, including fluorescence biosensors, colorimetric biosensors, Surface Enhancement Raman Scattering (SERS) biosensors, and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensors, was comprehensively summarized. Further, promising strategies to improve optical biosensors are also explained. Optical biosensors can not only realize the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 but also be applied to judge the infectiousness of the virus and guide the choice of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, showing enormous potential to become point-of-care detection tools for the timely control of the pandemic.

Abstract
The world has been suffering from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, and millions of people have been infected through human-to-human transmission and lost their lives within months. Although multidisciplinary scientific approaches have been employed to fight against this deadly pandemic, various mutations and diverse environments keep producing constraints in treating SARS-CoV-2. Indeed, the efficacy of the developed vaccines has been limited, and inoculation with the vaccines does not guarantee complete protection even though multiple doses are required, which is a frustrating process. Historically, coinage metals (Cu, Ag, and Au) have been well-known for their effectiveness in antiviral action as well as good biocompatibility, binding receptor inhibition, reactive oxygen species, and phototherapy properties. Thus, this review highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 using the antivirus ability and mode of action of coinage metals such as viral entry mechanisms into host cells and the NP-inhibition process, which are explained in detail. This article also draws attention to coinage metal nanomaterial-based approaches to treat other contagious viruses. In addition, coinage metal-based biosensors and an overview of some other biocompatible metal-based nanomaterials to fight against SARS-CoV-2 variants are discussed. Finally, the advantages, perspectives and challenges of coinage metal nanoparticles are given to fight against viral infections in the future.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination is a public health concern worldwide causing enormous social and economic losses. For early diagnosis and adequate management to prevent or treat pathogen-related illnesses, extensive effort has been put into the development of pathogenic bacterial detection systems. Colorimetric sensing systems have attracted increasing attention due to their simple and single-site operation, rapid signal readout with the naked eye, ability to operate without external instruments, portability, compact design, and low cost. In this article, recent trends and advances in colorimetric systems for the detection and monitoring of bacterial contamination are reviewed. This article focuses on pathogen detection strategies and technologies based on reaction factors that affect the color change for visual readout. Reactions used in each strategy are introduced by dividing them into the following five categories: external pH change-induced pH indicator reactions, intracellular enzyme-catalyzed chromogenic reactions, enzyme-like nanoparticle (NP)-catalyzed substrate reactions, NP aggregation-based reactions, and NP accumulation-based reactions. Some recently developed colorimetric systems are introduced, and their challenges and strategies to improve the sensing performance are discussed.
