Abstract
Cloud-point extraction (CPE) is a pre-treatment technique for the extraction and preconcentration of different chemical compounds, such as metal ions, pesticides, drugs, phenols, vitamins etc., from various samples. CPE is based on the phenomenon of two phases (micellar and aqueous) forming after the heating of an aqueous isotropic solution of a non-ionic or zwitterionic surfactant above the cloud-point temperature. If analytes are added to the surfactant solution under suitable conditions, they should be extracted into the micellar phase, also called the surfactant-rich phase. Recently, the traditional CPE procedure is being increasingly replaced by improved CPE procedures. In this study, recent advances in CPE over the last three years (2020 - 2022), including the application of various innovative approaches, are reviewed. In addition to the basic principle of CPE, alternative extraction media in CPE, CPE supported by various auxiliary energies, a different modified CPE procedure and the use nanomaterials and solid-phase extraction in combination with CPE are presented and discussed. Finally, some future trends for improved CPE are presented.

Abstract
Dengue fever is a global mosquito-borne viral infectious disease that has, in recent years, rapidly spread to almost all regions of the world. Lack of vaccination and directed treatment makes detection at the infection's early stages extremely important for disease prevention and clinical care. In this paper, we developed a rapid and highly sensitive dengue detection tool using a novel platform of diagnosis, called spin-enhanced lateral flow immunoassay (SELFIA) with a fluorescent nanodiamond (FND) as a reporter. Taking advantage of the unique magneto-optical properties of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers in the FND, the SELFIA platform utilizes alternating electromagnetic fields to modulate signals from FND's fluorescence to provide sensitive and specific results. With sandwich SELFIA, we could efficiently detect all four dengue non-structural protein (NS1) serotypes (DV1, DV2, DV3, and DV4). The lowest detection concentration of the dengue NS1 antigens varied from 0.1 to 1.3 ng/mL, which is among the lowest limits of detection to date. The FND-based SELFIA technique is up to 500 and 5000 times more sensitive than carbon black and conventional gold nanoparticles, respectively. By using different anti-NS1 antibodies, we could differentiate the NS1 antigen serotypes contained in the tested samples via three simultaneous assays. Proposed SELFIA allows for both qualitative and quantitative differentiation between different NS1 protein serotypes, which will assist in the development of a highly sensitive and specific detection platform for dengue screening that has the potential to detect the disease at its early stages, especially in high-risk and limited-resource areas.
