Highly sensitive detection of environmental toxic fenitrothion in fruits and water using a porous graphene oxide nanosheets based disposable sensor. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 259:119500. [PMID: 38950814 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
Monitoring fenitrothion (FNT) residues in food and the environment is crucial due to its high environmental toxicity. In this study, we developed a sensitive, reliable electrochemical method for detecting FNT by using screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) modified with porous graphene oxide (PGO) nanosheets. PGO surface properties have been meticulously characterized using advanced spectroscopic techniques. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry were used to test the electrochemical properties of the PGO-modified sensor. The PGO-modified sensor exhibited remarkable sensitivity, achieving a detection limit as low as 0.061 μM and a broad linear range of 0.02-250 μM. Enhanced performance is due to PGO's high surface area and excellent electrocatalytic properties, which greatly improved electron transfer. Square wave voltammetry was used to demonstrate the sensor's efficacy as a real-time, on-site monitoring tool for FNT residues in fruit and water. The outstanding performance of the PGO/SPCE sensor underscores its applicability in ensuring food safety and environmental protection.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are a class of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents that are used to treat variety of infectious diseases. This class of antibiotics was being used for patients exhibiting early symptoms of a human respiratory disease known as the COVID-19 virus. As a result, this outbreak causes an increase in drug-resistant strains and environmental pollution, both of which pose serious threats to biota and human health. Thus, to ensure public health and prevent antimicrobial resistance, it is crucial to develop effective detection methods for FQs determination in water bodies even at trace levels. Due to their characteristics like specificity, selectivity, sensitivity, and low detection limits, electrochemical biosensors are promising future platforms for quick and on-site monitoring of FQs residues in a variety of samples when compared to conventional detection techniques. Despite their excellent properties, biosensor stability continues to be a problem even today. However, the integration of nanomaterials (NMs) could improve biocompatibility, stability, sensitivity, and speed of response in biosensors. This review concentrated on recent developments and contemporary methods in FQs biosensors. Furthermore, a variety of modification materials on the electrode surface are discussed. We also pay more attention to the practical applications of electrochemical biosensors for FQs detection. In addition, the existing challenges, outlook, and promising future perspectives in this field have been proposed. We hope that this review can serve as a bedrock for future researchers and provide new ideas for the development of electrochemical biosensors for antibiotics detection in the future.

Comb Chem High Throughput Screen 2024; 27:1830-1839. [PMID: 38305403 DOI: 10.2174/0113862073270729231106090749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisoprolol (BIS) is a selective beta-blocker. It has been successfully used to treat hypertension and angina pectoris. An overdose of BIS can lead to serious complications. An overdose is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention to overcome the adverse effects of the overdose. Hence, sensitive, reliable, and cost-effective methods are required for the determination of BIS. METHODS In this work, a new electrochemical sensing platform based on a bimetallic catalyst was developed for the determination of BIS. The Cu-Co nanocatalyst was easily synthesized by galvanic displacement onto a carbon paste electrode (CPE). Then, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were utilized for the characterization of the Cu-Co catalyst. RESULTS The galvanic displacement of Cu metal significantly affected the electro-catalytic behavior of the Cu-Co catalyst and the Cu-Co/CPE electrode displayed a very sensitive and accurate response towards BIS. Under optimized conditions, the response was linear in the 3 to 120 μM concentration range, sensitivity of 631.1 μA mM-1 and a detection limit of as low as 0.4 μM using cyclic voltammetry. The simple proposed method was also successfully employed in the analysis of BIS in biological and pharmaceutical samples. The advantages of Cu-Co/CPE are its fast and simple manufacturing and the possibility of a repeated surface regeneration of the sensing platform, as well as its application for the detection of BIS in tablets and biological samples, making Cu-Co significant promise for use in clinical diagnostics. Besides, the synthesized catalysts showed excellent reusability and stability. CONCLUSION The presence of Cu metal due to galvanic displacement increased the sensitivity. These findings suggest that the new nanocatalyst has potential applications in sensors and electronics.

Cost-effective protocol to produce 3D-printed electrochemical devices using a 3D pen and lab-made filaments to ciprofloxacin sensing. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:310.

Abstract
A novel conductive filament based on graphite (Gr) dispersed in polylactic acid polymer matrix (PLA) is described to produce 3D-electrochemical devices (Gr/PLA). This conductive filament was used to additively manufacture electrochemical sensors using the 3D pen. Thermogravimetric analysis confirmed that Gr was successfully incorporated into PLA, achieving a composite material (40:60% w/w, Gr and PLA, respectively), while Raman and scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of defects and a high porosity on the electrode surface, which contributes to improved electrochemical performance. The 3D-printed Gr/PLA electrode provided a more favorable charge transfer (335 Ω) than the conventional glassy carbon (1277 Ω) and 3D-printed Proto-pasta® (3750 Ω) electrodes. As a proof of concept, the ciprofloxacin antibiotic, a species of multiple interest, was selected as a model molecule. Thus, a square wave voltammetry (SWV) method was proposed in the potential range + 0.9 to + 1.3 V (vs Ag|AgCl|KCl(sat)), which provided a wide linear working range (2 to 32 µmol L-1), 1.79 µmol L-1 limit of detection (LOD), suitable precision (RSD < 7.9%), and recovery values from 94 to 109% when applied to pharmaceutical and milk samples. Additionally, the sensor is free from the interference of other antibiotics routinely employed in veterinary practices. This device is disposable, cost-effective, feasibly produced in financially limited laboratories, and consequently promising for evaluation of other antibiotic species in routine applications.

Abstract
The residues of antibiotics in the environment pose a potential health hazard, so highly sensitive detection of antibiotics has always appealed to analytical chemists. With the widespread use of new low-dimensional materials, graphene-modified electrochemical sensors have emerged as an excellent candidate for highly sensitive detection of antibiotics. Graphene, its derivatives and its composites have been used in this field of exploration in the last decade. In this review, we have not only described the field using traditional summaries, but also used bibliometrics to quantify the development of the field. The literature between 2011 and 2021 was included in the analysis. Also, the sensing performance and detection targets of different sensors were compared. We were able to trace not only the flow of research themes, but also the future areas of development. Graphene is a material that has a high potential to be used on a large scale in the preparation of electrochemical sensors. How to design a sensor with selectivity and low cost is the key to bring this material from the laboratory to practical applications.
