Rapid and highly sensitive determination of clozapine (CLZ), a psychotropic drug for the treatment of refractory schizophrenia, in patients is of great significance to reduce the risk of disease recurrence. However, direct electroanalysis of CLZ in human whole blood remains a great challenge owing to the remarkable fouling that occurs in a complex matrix. In this work, a miniaturized, integrated, disposable electrochemical sensing platform based on the integration of nanochannel arrays on the surface of screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) is demonstrated. The device achieves high determination sensitivity while also offering the electrode anti-fouling and anti-interference capabilities. To enhance the electrochemical performance of SPCE, simple electrochemical polarization including anodic oxidation and cathodic reduction is applied to pretreat SPCE. The electrochemically polarized SPCE (p-SPCE) exhibits an enhanced electrochemical peak signal toward CLZ compared with bare SPCE. An electrochemically assisted self-assembly method (EASA) is utilized to conveniently electrodeposit a vertically ordered mesoporous silica nanomembrane film (VMSF) on the p-SPCE, which could further enrich CLZ through electrostatic interactions. Owing to the dual signal amplification based on the p-SPCE and VMSF nanochannels, the developed VMSF/SPCE sensor enables determination of CLZ in the range from 50 nM to 20 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 28 nM (S/N = 3). Combined with the excellent anti-fouling and anti-interference abilities of VMSF, direct and sensitive determination of CLZ in human blood is also achieved.

In this study, hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP)-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were developed and used for DNA extraction from human whole blood samples for the first time. HFIP-based DESs were prepared using HFIP and choline chloride (ChCl)/tetrabutylammonium chloride/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor, respectively. The two-phase system formation was promoted with different inorganic salts as the phase-forming component. According to the strong phase separation capability and high DNA extraction efficiency, DESs consisting of HFIP/ChCl-(NH4)2SO4, HFIP/ChCl-Na2SO4 and HFIP/ChCl-MgSO4 were then selected for application in DNA extraction. The factors that could have impacted the DNA extraction process, including molar ratio of DES, DES addition, salt species and addition, and sample pH, were systematically investigated via single-factor experimental analysis. Furthermore, we selectively examined bovine serum albumin and RNA to assess the specificity of the HFIP-based DESs for DNA extraction. Conclusively, 93.9%, 96.7% and 99.8% DNA could be extracted using the HFIP/ChCl-(NH4)2SO4, HFIP/ChCl-Na2SO4, and HFIP/ChCl-MgSO4 systems, respectively. Moreover, the developed systems were successfully used to extract DNA from human whole blood with satisfactory results. The DNA secondary structure was stable after DES extraction with the electrostatic interaction between DES and DNA as the main force driving DNA adsorption by DES.

A simple and efficient approach for the rapid extraction of genomic DNA from blood using various amino-modified magnetic nanoparticles (AMNPs) has been described. The salmon sperm DNA was isolated from aqueous solution based on electrostatic interaction between the positively charged amino-groups of AMNPs and the negatively charged phosphate groups of the DNA. The results of ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrometry showed that increasing number of amino groups on the AMNPs surface resulted in an improvement in DNA adsorption efficiency. Several variables including the extraction pH, adsorption time, ionic strength and quantity of AMNPs were optimized to achieve the best extraction efficiency with the proposed method. Acceptable adsorption efficiency of 92% and recovery of 91% were achieved using multi-amino modified MNPs (mAMNPs) with an extraction time of 10 min and an overall processing time of 30 min. The mAMNPs enabled genomic DNA capture from human whole blood, and the resulting mAMNP/DNA complexes could be directly used as templates for PCR amplification without the need for complex and time-consuming DNA elution and purification steps. Our results imply that this method can be used as an effective strategy for genomic DNA extraction and may be extended to other types of biological samples.

Since neonicotinoid insecticides are now the most extensively used insecticides worldwide, there are increasing cases of neonicotinoid poisoning. A rapid and sensitive method was developed for the determination of ten neonicotinoid insecticides and a metabolite 6-chloronicotinic acid in human whole blood. The types and amounts of extraction solvent, salting-out agent, and adsorbent in the QuEChERS method were optimized by comparing the absolute recoveries of 11 analytes. The separation was performed on an Agilent EC18 column with the gradient elution with 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The quantification was achieved by Q Exactive orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry under parallel reaction monitoring scan mode. The 11 analytes showed good linearity with R 2 ≥ 0.9950, LODs ranging from 0.01 μg/L to 0.30 μg/L, and LOQs from 0.05 μg/L to 1.00 μg/L. The recoveries ranged from 78.3% to 119.9% at low, medium, and high spiked concentrations of blank blood, with matrix effects ranging from 80.9% to 117.8%, inter-day RSDs from 0.7% to 6.7%, and intra-day RSDs from 2.7% to 9.8%. The method was furthermore applied to a real case of neonicotinoid insecticide poisoning to demonstrate its feasibility. The proposed method is suitable for the rapid screening of neonicotinoid insecticides in poisoned human blood in the field of forensic science, as well as monitoring of neonicotinoid insecticide residues in humans in the field of environmental safety, compensating for a lack of studies on neonicotinoid insecticide determination in biological samples.

Nanomaterial-based lateral flow assay (LFA) has broad prospect in point-of-care testing (POCT) owning the advantages of simplicity and portability. However, the detection sensitivity and accuracy are often affected by the interferences of complex sample matrices. Herein, we describe a gold nanorods (Au NRs)-labeled LFA for background-free detection of thrombin (TB) in human whole blood. The near-infrared (NIR) absorption of Au NRs coupled with photoacoustic (PA) readout eliminate background signal, empowering a high-sensitivity detection without complicated procedures. With the increasement of TB concentrations, the PA signal changes of detection zones on LFA test strip driven by a modulated 808 nm laser beam could be conveniently collected through the handheld oscilloscope. Thanks to the combination of economic LFA strip and portable PA device, it not only greatly simplifies the operation steps but also dramatically reduces the size and cost of the instrument to achieve POCT of TB. There is a favorable linear relationship between the PA signal and TB concentration in whole blood matrix ranging from 0.5 to 18 U/mL (R 2 = 0.9929), and a detection limit of 0.2 U/mL is obtained. This NIR absorption PA probe labeling approach has direct implications for ultrasensitive and background-free POCT of other blood biomarkers in resource-limited clinical settings.

Rapid and highly sensitive quantitative analysis of chlorpromazine (CPZ) in human whole blood is of great importance for human health. Herein, we utilize the screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) as the electrode substrates for growth of highly electroactive and antifouling nanocomposite materials consisting of vertically ordered mesoporous silica films (VMSF) and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ErGO) nanosheets. The preparation of such VMSF/ErGO/SPCE could be performed by using an electrochemical method in a few seconds and the operation is controllable. Inner ErGO layer converted from graphene oxide (GO) in the growth process of VMSF provides oxygen-containing groups and two-dimensional π-conjugated planar structure for stable fabrication of outer VMSF layer. Owing to the π-π enrichment and excellent electrocatalytic abilities of ErGO, electrostatic preconcentration and antifouling capacities of VMSF, and inherent disposable and miniaturized properties of SPCE, the proposed VMSF/ErGO/SPCE sensor could be applied for quantitative determination of CPZ in human whole blood with high accuracy and sensitivity, good stability, and low sample consumption.Keywords:vertically ordered mesoporous silica films;screen-printed carbon electrodes;electrochemically reduced graphene oxide;chlorpromazine;electrochemical sensors;human whole blood

New approaches for the engineering of well-defined, pore modality, and multi-chemical functionality nanocomposites are crucial to generate the next generation of functional materials with recoverable and easy preparation properties. Here, a catalyst and heat free polymerization reaction is exploited and fabricated zwitterionic system around magnetic nanoparticles. N-aminoethyl piperazine propane sulfonate (AEPPS) and dopamine (DA) are introduced as the zwitterionic system, which provided abundant zwitterionic groups (NH 2 , SO 3 − , N + ) and strong adhesion and various oxidation state properties. And that, the zwitterionic engineering will assemble between AEPPS and DA whereby Schiff base formation or Michael type addition. Whereafter, a series of sophisticated array of microscopic, spectroscopic, and structure techniques verify the formation of highly crosslinking internal zwitterionic architectures, well-defined core–shell structure, and better porosity. The zwitterionic structure–function relationships and striking porous structure are explored in a multi-interaction adsorption assay. The adsorption capacity of the magnetic nanocomposites was 1065.8 mg/g. And that, the system exhibited with hydrophilic-hydrophobic activity towards glycoprotein and better performance to bioactive protein (Ig-G) isolation form human whole blood sample. The synergistic enhancement interaction in hydrophilic target enrichment, easy preparation, and soft substrate properties of the AEPPS-DA zwitterionic materials make them intriguing candidates for sustainable biomedical loading and chromatographic separation.
