The detection of specific protein biomarkers holds significant potential for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the accurate quantification of low-abundance proteins in serum presents a major challenge due to factors such as limited sensitivity and the complexity of the required methodologies. In this work, we established a universal CRISPR/Cas biosensing platform by integrating novel photosensitive nanoprobes (DA/PL@Cu NPs) and CRISPR/Cas12 system (DPC-Cas) for the highly sensitive, specific and user-friendly detection of angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2). The DA/PL@Cu NPs serve as a critical component in the transduction of protein recognition information into nucleic acid amplification events to produce Cas12a activators. The DPC-Cas biosensor integrates DA/PL@Cu NPs-assisted amplification with Cas12a self-amplification, enabling ultrasensitive detection of ANGPTL2 at concentrations as low as 20.00 pg/mL. The proposed DPC-Cas biosensor successfully detected ANGPTL2 in serum, demonstrating significant potential for the early diagnosis of CRC.

Room-temperature phosphorescent carbon dots (CDs) show the advanced property owing to their dual signal; howbeit, acquiring the efficient phosphorescence of CDs is still challengeable. Here, we proposed one type of CD doped with nitrogen through the microwave method, which exhibited the obvious blue fluorescence in aqueous solution and green phosphorescence immobilized on filter paper, while diethylenetriamine pentamethylene phosphonic acid provided the source of carbon and nitrogen. Importantly, introducing metronidazole (MNZ) into the CDs leads to their simultaneous decrease in both fluorescence and phosphorescence, and thus, we successfully established a dual-signal strategy for detecting MNZ. Likewise, this fluorescent detection showed the linear range of 2–200 μM and the phosphorescent way of 50–2000 μM. Meanwhile, the corresponding detection mechanism was also explored, and both the quenched fluorescence and phosphorescence of CDs were mainly due to the occurrence of the electron transfer and internal filtration effect between CDs and MNZ. Additionally, we employed these CDs as the fluorescent and phosphorescent inks for painting and information encryption.

Ratiometric fluorescence has drawn extensive attention owing to its self-calibration property. However, it is difficult to obtain appropriate fluorescent materials that can be excited under one excitation and possess well-resolved signals simultaneously. In this work, with the optical properties of the fluorescence of carbon dots (CDs) and the second-order scattering (SOS) of ZIF-90 (zeolitic imidazole frameworks-90) nanoparticles, the synthesized CDs@ZIF-90 can be applied to phosphate (PO43–) ratiometric detection. The fluorescence of CDs is greatly suppressed through encapsulating CDs into ZIF-90. Nevertheless, the SOS is quite obvious due to the high scattering intensity of large size ZIF-90. The competitive coordination between PO43– and the metal node of ZIF-90 decomposes CDs@ZIF-90, leading to the restoration of fluorescence and the diminution of SOS. On the basis of the PO43–-induced ZIF-90 decomposition and CD release, a novel method for PO43– ratiometric detection is developed through the dual-signal response of the fluorescence scattering. Under the optimal condition, the method shows a linear range from 1.0 to 50.0 μmol L–1 with a detection limit of 0.23 μmol L–1. Furthermore, the probes are employed to assess PO43– in practical aqueous samples successfully. Compared with the traditional approach, which only records fluorescence signals, the method reported here provides a new strategy to design ratiometric sensors by fluorescence and scattering.

Herein, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and fluorescence dual-signal aptasensor has been developed for aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) detection. Fluorescence signal source CdTe quantum dots were decorated on the outer of silica nanoparticles and further functionalized with AFB 1 aptamer. Raman reporter molecules DTNB were decorated on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) together with the aptamer complementary chains. The two parts of nanomaterials were combined by the base complementary pairing principle, to form satellite nanostructures with high SERS and low fluorescence signals following LSPR and FRET effect. The addition of AFB 1 led to the shedding of AuNPs due to the higher sensitivity of the aptamer towards the target and resulting in recovered fluorescence and decreased SERS signals. The developed method showed a linear relationship in the range of 10 −4 -10 3 ng/mL, with detection limit of 0.094 pg/mL. This technology had strong application prospects due to simplicity of operation and high accuracy.

Recently, it has become valuable to develop strategies based on multi-mode sensors to detect analytes related to human health, food safety and environmental pollution. In this study, KL@PPIX-hemin composite prepared by immobilizing hemin and protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) on self-assembled peptide nanotubes (PNTs) through multiple non-covalent interactions were used for colorimetric/fluorescent dual-mode sensing of tannic acid (TA). PNTs as a carrier can provide the hydrophobic microenvironment for hemin and PPIX to protect them from dimerization, thus activating their respective peroxidase-mimicking activity and fluorescence emission. Further experiments show that the composite could catalyze H 2 O 2 to oxidize colorless 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate blue ox-TMB, which could exactly quench the emission of PPIX by inner filter effect. The added TA can reduce ox-TMB to TMB and further turn on the fluorescence of system. A colorimetric/fluorescent dual-mode sensing system for TA was thus constructed and a low limit of detection (13.2 nM) was obtained. In addition, the analytical strategy has been successfully applied to accurate TA determination in actual tea samples. The method was also combined with smartphone to achieve visual detection of TA, which provides a broad prospect for portable and rapid tannic acid analysis.

In the present article, we report a novel fluorescent and colorimetric dual-signal sensing probe based on a CD–Cu2+ complex for the detection of the phosphate ion (Pi). The yellow fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CDs) were simply synthesized via one-step hydrothermal treatment of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The method was based on the combination of the CDs and Cu2+ to form a coordination complex. Pi can capture Cu2+ on the surface of CDs, which brings about two kinds of signal change through competitive complexation, including fluorescence and UV-vis absorption. The probe could detect the Pi with a linear range of 0.01–1 mM with a detection limit of 3.75 μM for the fluorescence signal and a linear range of 0.01–1 mM with a detection limit of 4.38 μM for the colorimetric signal. And the change in absorption signal can be used to visually detect Pi. Furthermore, the proposed sensing system was successfully applied to determine Pi in practical water samples.

A convenient and sensitive dual-signal visualization method is constructed for detection of trivalent chromium ions (Cr 3+ ) based on fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) and glutathione-modified gold nanoparticles (GSH-Au NPs). The fluorescence of CDs can be quenched by GSH-Au NPs due to the inner filter effect. Cr 3+ induces aggregation of GSH-Au NPs because of the coordination with GSH on the surface of Au NPs, leading to the red shift of surface plasmon resonance absorption of Au NPs that provides a “turn-on” fluorescence and colorimetric assay for Cr 3+ . The fluorescence/colorimetric dual signal detection shows high sensitivity for Cr 3+ with wide detection linear ranges (0.5–70 μM for fluorescence detection and 2–50 μM for colorimetric detection) and low detection limits (0.31 μM for fluorescence detection and 0.30 μM for colorimetric detection). Besides, the method has high selectivity for Cr 3+ and can be used for detection of Cr 3+ in lake water and tap water samples, showing great potential for visual detection of environmental Cr 3+ .

The residues of furazolidone and its metabolites (3-amino-2-oxazolidinone [AOZ]) in food would have adverse effects on humans. Herein, a colorimetric and fluorescent dual-signal output immunochromatographic method with a zirconium-based porphyrin metal-organic framework (PCN-222) as the signal label was developed for the detection of 3-[(4-carboxyphenyl) monomethyl] amino-2-oxazolidinone (CPAOZ), a derivative of furazolidone metabolite. PCN-222 was synthesized using the solvothermal method, and the material was characterized via scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction, which proved the successful synthesis of PCN-222. Synthesized PCN-222, as a nanotag, was bound to antibodies to prepare PCN-222-mAbs with dual optical properties. Under the optimized conditions, PCN-222- lateral flow assay (LFA) exhibited a great linear relationship in the range of 0.25–100 ng/mL. The visual limit detection of CPAOZ using colorimetric and fluorescent signals were 1.0 ng/mL and 0.5 ng/mL, respectively, and the sensitivity was 5- and 10-fold higher than that of the colloidal gold-based LFA method. In addition, PCN-222-LFA was successfully applied to the detection of CPAOZ in shrimp, chicken and milk samples achieving satisfactory recoveries from 92.34% to 117.44%. This study provides an alternative, convenient and sensitive method for the rapid detection of veterinary drug residues.

Exosomes, which are recognized as a kind of valuable liquid biopsy biomarker, exhibit significant application potential in cancer diagnosis. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a reliable detection method for their clinical application. In this study, we presented an ultrasensitive aptasensor for the visual detection of exosomes by employing tyramine-assisted dual signal amplification technology. Firstly, we utilized magnetic beads modified with the nucleolin aptamer (MNPs-Aptnucleolin) to capture exosomes. This modification not only enhanced specificity, but also reduced interference of complex sample components. The captured exosomes as a rich source of proteins could bind with the multiple biotinyl-tyramide (Bio-TR) through a catalytic reaction involving horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and H2O2. Secondly, streptavidin-HRP complex-modified gold nanoparticles (GNPs-Str-HRP) as signal amplification probe was introduced to further enhance the detection signal by binding to Bio-TR. Lastly, the addition of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) solution induced a visible color change, enabling the quantification of exosome concentration. This dual signal amplification strategy resulted in a low limit of detection (LOD) of 63 particles/μL, and also demonstrated accurate visual diagnosis capabilities for clinical samples. The successful implementation of this approach suggests its potential as a promising tool for point-of-care testing (POCT) in cancer diagnostics.

Histidine (His) plays an important role in human health and life activities. It will harm human health when His intake is insufficient or excessive. Its residue also will pollute the natural environment. Therefore, establishing a reliable and sensitive method for detecting histidine is particularly important. However, most of the existing detection methods of His rely on the single change of single signal, which are susceptible to interference from testing environmental factors and prone to generating false positive results. In contrast, the fluorescence and colorimetric dual-signal sensing system can not only effectively improve the reliability of detection, but also significantly reduce the risk of false positives. Therefore, the dual-signal sensing system has gradually become the research hotspot. Based on this, 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-sulfophenyl) porphyrin (TSPP) was selected as the fluorescence and colorimetry dual-signal probe for the rapid detection of His in this study. Since TSPP could interact with many substances due to the specificity of molecular structure, it is the best choice to build an “ON-OFF-ON” sensing system in order to improve the specificity of the sensing system. Therefore, citric acid (CA) as an intermediate based on TSPP probe was successfully developed fluorescence and colorimetric dual-sensing system for the quantitative detection of histidine in real samples. The signal of the dual sensing system was “turned on” when the red TSPP solution obtained the fluorescence emission wavelength of 642 nm at the 514 nm optimal excitation wavelength and the UV–Vis absorption at 413 nm, respectively. The fluorescence intensity and absorbance of TSPP gradually decreased with the introduction of CA. At this time, the signal of the dual-sensing system became “turned off”, and the color of the solution changed from light pink to light green. The quenched fluorescence intensity and absorbance, however, was restored upon the introduction of histidine into the system. Simultaneously, the color of the solution changed from light green to light pink, and the dual-sensing system became “turned on”. Therefore, a novel fluorescence and colorimetric dual-signal sensing system based on TSPP was proposed for histidine detection. The results indicated that the linear ranges of the fluorescence sensing system were 8.34 × 10 −6 M − 1.51 × 10 −4 M and 1.85 × 10 −4 M − 1.4 × 10 −3 M with detection limits of 0.282 μM and 10.91 μM (LOD, S/N = 3), respectively. The linear range of the colorimetric sensing system was 2.04 × 10 −4 M–4.35 × 10 −4 M with a detection limit of 11.97 μM (LOD, S/N = 3). Meanwhile, the dual-sensing system provided a promising platform for practical samples sensing applications.

Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol (APAP), is a commonly used over-the-counter medication that is often used to treat headaches, toothaches, joint pain, muscle pain, and to lower body temperature. However, overdose can lead to liver damage, gastrointestinal distress, kidney damage, and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it is very important to establish a method to quickly detect APAP. A novel “ON-OFF-ON” colorimetric and fluorescence dual-signal sensing system was constructed for the quantitative detection of APAP based on 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulphonatophenyl) porphyrin (TSPP) dual-signal probe. The absorbance and fluorescence intensity of TSPP respectively were quenched when Fe 3+ was introduced into TSPP solution. At this point, the color of the corresponding solution changed from red to green. The absorbance and fluorescence intensity of TSPP respectively were restored when APAP was added to the TSPP-Fe 3+ system. At this time, the color of the solution changed from green to colorless. Therefore, an “ON-OFF-ON” dual-signal sensing study of APAP were constructed using TSPP as the colorimetric and fluorescent probe. The proposed colorimetric sensing system had a wide linear range in the 13.12 mM ∼ 23.20 mM with 0.11 mM of limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3). And the proposed fluorescence sensing system had a wide linear range in the 3.45 mM ∼ 12.50 mM and 41.67 mM ∼ 65.22 mM with 0.83 mM of limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3). The dual-signal sensing system were applied to the APAP detection of real samples.

A simple dual-signal assay that combined colorimetric and fluorometric strategy for uric acid (UA) rapid detection was designed based on the versatility of facile synthesized MnO2 nanosheet. The oxidization of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and the fluorescence quenching of quantum dots (QDs) occurred simultaneously in the presence of MnO2 nanosheet. UA could decompose MnO2 nanosheet into Mn2+, resulting in the fluorescence recovery of QDs, along with the fading of the blue color of ox TMB. Based on the principles above, the detection of UA could be realized by the change of the dual signals (colorimetric and fluorometric). The linear range of the colorimetric mode was 5–60 μmol L−1, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 2.65 μmol L−1; the linear range of the fluorescence mode was wide at 5–120 μmol L−1, and the LOD could be as low as 1.33 μmol L−1. The method was successfully used for analyzing UA levels in human serum samples, indicating that this new dual-signal method could be applied in clinical diagnosis.
