Emerging contaminants seriously jeopardize food safety and even human health. This study presents the formation of all-in-one aggregation-induced emission (AlE)-type immunomagnetic ZlF-8 (AlMZ) through an ultra-simple self-assembly method in an aqueous phase, successfully harnessing the functions of immuno-recognition, luminescence, and magnetism, Here, we have achieved a dual enhancement in detection efficiency rapidly enriching targets and performing a triple lateral flow immunoassay (LFlA) for ractopamine, diethylstilbestrol, and chloramphenicol within 40 minutes, The dual readout biosensor was then configured to automatically extract the color intensity values of the three test lines using a smartphone. A portable sensing platform ensures stable temperature and light intensity in non-laboratory environments, providing favorable conditions for immunological detection. This study demonstrated low detection limits of 0.11, 0.14, and 0.01ug/L for ractopamine, diethylstilbestrol, and chloramphenicol, respectively, Applications in pork and tap water showed excellent practicality and stability, with recovery rates ranging from 87.2 % to 112.7 %, emphasizing the potential for applications in food and environmental safety.
Strategies for rapid, effective nucleic acid processing hold tremendous significance to the clinical analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), a family of important markers indicating tumorigenesis and metastasis. However, traditional techniques remain challenging to achieve efficient DNA enrichment, further bringing about complicated operation and limited detection sensitivity. Here, we developed an ion concentration polarization microplatform that enabled highly rapid, efficient enrichment and purification of ctDNA from a variety of clinical samples, including serum, urine, and feces. The platform demonstrated efficiently separating and enriching ctDNA within 30 s, with a 100-fold improvement over traditional methods. Integrating an on-chip isothermal amplification module, the platform further achieved 100-fold enhanced sensitivity in ctDNA detection, which significantly eliminated false-negative results in the serum or urine samples due to the low abundance of ctDNA. Such a simple-designed platform offers a user-friendly yet powerful diagnosis technique with a wide applicability, ranging from early tumor diagnosis to infection screening.
