Abstract
In this work, a multiplexed colorimetric strategy was initiated for simultaneous and fast visualization of dyes using low-cost and easy-to-prepare indicator papers as sorbents. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to model statistically and optimize the process variables for dyes extraction and colorimetric assays. Multiplexed colorimetry was realized by virtue of synchronous color alignments from different dimensions of multiple dyes co-stained colorimetric cards under RSM-optimized conditions, and smartphone-based image analysis was subsequently performed from different modes to double-check the credibility of colorimetric assays. As concept-to-proof trials, simultaneous visualization of dyes in both beverages and simulated dye effluents was experimentally proved with results highly matched to HPLC or spiked amounts at RSM-predicted staining time as short as 50 s ∼3 min, giving LODs as low as 0.97 ± 0.22/0.18 ± 0.08 μg/mL (tartrazine/brilliant blue) for multiplexed colorimetry, which much lower than those obtained by single colorimetry. Since this is the first case to propose such a RSM-guided multiplexed colorimetric concept, it will provide a reference for engineering of other all-in-one devices which can realize synchronous visualization applications within limited experimental steps.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:1001-1010. [PMID: 38097760 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-05090-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
A novel portable smartphone-assisted colorimetric method was reported for the determination of Hg2+ with good analytical performance. A Zr(IV)-based metal-organic framework functionalized with amino groups (NH2-UiO-66) has been adopted as a supporting platform to anchor gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), avoiding the migration and aggregation of AuNPs. With the addition of Hg2+, the formation of gold amalgam proved possible to enhance peroxidase-like activity of the composite (AuNPs/NH2-UiO-66), accelerating the oxidization of zymolyte 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). In the meantime, the color of the reaction solution turned a vivid blue, and the red, green, and blue (RGB) values of the solution color changed accordingly. On account of this strategy, the quantitative detection of Hg2+ could be achieved. After the optimization of the experiment conditions, the average color intensity (Ic) resulting from RGB values was linear related to the concentration of Hg2+ from 10 to 100 nM, accompanied with a detection limit (LOD) down to 5.4 nM calculated by 3σ/S. The successful application of the designed method has been promoted to detect Hg2+ in some water samples, displaying a great potential in practical application. Furthermore, the use of a smartphone made our proposed method simple and accurate, and thus puts forward a possible way for in situ and real-time monitoring.

Abstract
Advances in chip-scale photonic-electronic integration are enabling a new generation of foundry-manufacturable implantable silicon neural probes incorporating nanophotonic waveguides and microelectrodes for optogenetic stimulation and electrophysiological recording in neuroscience research. Further extending neural probe functionalities with integrated microfluidics is a direct approach to achieve neurochemical injection and sampling capabilities. In this work, we use two-photon polymerization 3D printing to integrate microfluidic channels onto photonic neural probes, which include silicon nitride nanophotonic waveguides and grating emitters. The customizability of 3D printing enables a unique geometry of microfluidics that conforms to the shape of each neural probe, enabling integration of microfluidics with a variety of existing neural probes while avoiding the complexities of monolithic microfluidics integration. We demonstrate the photonic and fluidic functionalities of the neural probes via fluorescein injection in agarose gel and photoloysis of caged fluorescein in solution and in fixed brain tissue.

Abstract
Synthetic colorants added during food processing not only fail to provide nutrients, but also can be harmful to human health when used in excess. To establish a simple, convenient, rapid and low-cost surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection method for colorants, an active surface-enhanced substrate of colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was prepared in this study. The density functional theory (DFT) method of B3LYP with 6-31G(d) was applied to determine the theoretical Raman spectra of erythrosine, basic orange 2, 21 and 22, and to attribute their characteristic spectral peaks. The SERS spectra of the four colorants were pre-processed using local least squares (LLS) and morphological weighted penalized least squares (MWPLS), and multiple linear regression (MLR) models were established to quantify the four colorants in beverages. The results showed that the prepared AuNPs with a particle size of about 50 nm were reproducible and stable, with a good enhancement of the SERS spectrum of rhodamine 6G at 10-8 mol L-1. The theoretical Raman frequencies were in good agreement with the experimental Raman frequencies, and the peak position differences of the main characteristic peaks of the four colorants were within 20 cm-1. The MLR calibration models for the concentrations of the four colorants showed relative errors of prediction (REP) of 2.97-8.96%, root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.03-0.94, R2 of 0.973-0.999, and limits of detection of 0.06 μg mL-1. The present method could be used to quantify erythrosine, basic orange 2, 21, and 22, revealing its wide range of applications in food safety.
