β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) is a major allergen in milk what can provoke intense allergic reactions. Therefore, an accurate and efficient method is required for sensitive detection of β-LG. A label-free electrochemical aptasensor utilizing Au/Ag@ZIF-8 and dual amplification strategy has been designed for the detection of β-LG. Au/Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposite is used as the electrode modification material, which has abundant relative surface area and exceptional conductivity behavior, and it can also serve to immobilize DNA strands. By combining RecJf exonuclease and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) dual amplification strategy, an apparent enhancement of electrochemical signal is obtained. β-LG undergoes target cycling in the effect of RecJf exonuclease, which dislodges complementary strand cDNA and further triggers HCR to provide a large number of sites for methylene blue embedding. The detection range of this aptasensor is 0.01–1000 ng/mL in the optimal detection conditions, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 5.37 pg/mL. The constructed electrochemical aptasensor possesses the superiorities of good specificity, preeminent accuracy and satisfied stability in the detection of β-LG. Moreover, it also demonstrates satisfactory detection performance in the detection of real samples, which indicates that the electrochemical aptasensor has a broad application prospect in protecting food safety and health.

Visual, highly selective, and sensitive detection of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and its derivatives (SO 3 2- ) in vitro/in vivo is of great significance in maintaining cell homeostasis. A new Au@Ag@ZIF-8 optical sensor with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) internal coding surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tags based on the free radical reaction was synthesized for multi-mode detection of sulfite . First, Co 2+ is oxidized to Co 3+ . Second, the oxidoreduction between SO 3 2- and Co 3+ produces SO 4 -• and Co 2+ to complete the cycle. The resulting SO 4 -• is further reacted with the chromogenic substrate OPD to form the polymer. Due to the UV–vis absorbance of OPD polymer being stronger than that of OPD, but the fluorescence intensity is lower, and their Raman peaks are obviously different, this sensor can be used for the detection of SO 3 2- through colorimetric, fluorescence, and Raman multi-mode. The main advantages are as follows: (1) high selectivity; (2) achieve fast, visual, and highly sensitive detection of SO 3 2- , and the low limit of detection (LOD) is 1 nM; (3) improve the reliability of detection and expands the detection range (1 nM-800 μM); (4) demonstrate the applicability in recognizing SO 3 2- in HeLa cells to provide accurate information on the dynamic distribution of sulfur in cells.

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has been extensively utilized in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) due to its rapid detection speed, high sensitivity and straightforward sample pretreatment. In this study, Au/AgNPs were obtained through the reduction of AgNO 3 on the surface of AuNPs. Subsequently, Au/AgNPs were embedded into the tetrahedral lattice of ZIF-8 MOFs, resulting in the formation of Au/Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposites. The Au/Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposites exhibit a robust electromagnetic enhancement of Au/Ag bimetallic nanoparticles and a considerable adsorption capacity of ZIF-8 MOFs. This enables the pre-enrichment of target molecules in the vicinity of the electromagnetic field of the Au/AgNPs, thereby enhancing the sensitivity of SERS detection. The SERS substrate also exhibits high stability and reproducibility, as well as molecular sieving effects, due to the fact that Au/AgNPs are embedded into the tetrahedral lattice of ZIF-8. A TDM method for tacrolimus (FK506) in human serum was developed by using Au/Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposites as solid phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent and SERS substrates. The results showed that under the optimized conditions, tacrolimus exhibited satisfactory linearity within the concentration range of 10 −5 -10 −11 mol L −1 , with a correlation coefficient (R 2 ) of 0.9944, and the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 6.4 pg mL −1 . The recoveries were observed to range between 92 % and 105 %, with an RSD of below 8 %. The method is highly sensitive, exhibiting a sensitivity that is 3-6 orders of magnitude higher than that of existing analytical techniques. It has the potential to be applied in a clinical setting to biological samples.

The sensitive detection of quinalphos in food is crucial due to its improper use and the potential for serious harm. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology, provides a new way for rapid and ultra-sensitive detection. To exploit the molecular sieving effect of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in mitigating interference from food matrix components during pesticide residue detection, a novel chiral spiny L-Au@Ag@ZIF-8 (L-AAZ) three-layer core-shell composite was developed as an effective SERS substrate, with chiral L-AABPs providing abundant “hot spots” and spiny ZIF-8 shell provides excellent absorption properties, causing a five-fold increase in SERS intensity compared to traditional Au@Ag NPs. The experimental results revealed that L-AAZ achieved a high enhancement factor (EF) of 3.15 × 10 5 , a low limit of detection (LOD) of 6.56 × 10 −10 M, and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 14.6 % for malachite green (MG), indicating its superior SERS sensitivity and consistency. Moreover, it demonstrated stable performance, maintaining good storage stability for up to 55 days. The substrate's suitability for the actual fruit sample (tangerine) was confirmed, showing an LOD of 10 ng/mL, demonstrating its capability for rapid and sensitive detection of trace amounts of pesticide residues in food.
