A simple and highly sensitive fluorometric method is described for the determination of the antibiotic kanamycin (Kana) in food. Dual signal amplification is accomplished by making use of double Y-shaped aptamer DNA probes acting as a capture probes and signal amplification probes. The DNA probes were immobilized on a gold bar and on a magnetic bar, respectively. On addition of Kana, the Y-shaped aptamer probe captures Kana and then is disassembled to release two single-stranded DNAs. These trigger target recycling and HCR between the two bars simultaneously. As a result, many long duplex DNA chains are formed in the supernatant. After pulling out the bars and adding the fluorescent intercalating probe SYBR Green I, strong fluorescence (with excitation/emission peaks at 497/525 nm) is induced. The use of such double Y-shaped DNA probes obviously overcomes the unspecific signal amplification by HCR which increases selectivity and sensitivity. This is due to the fact that the hairpin of HCR is separated in being present in different arms of the Y-shaped probe. Under the optimal conditions, the assay has a limit of 0.45 pg·mL −1 for Kana. It was applied to analyze spiked milk, fish and pork samples.
The scheme represents a sensitive fluorometric aptamer-based method to detect kanamycin (Kana). It is making use of a double stirring bar-assisted dual amplification strategy with zero background. Abbreviations: apt: aptamer, AuNPs: gold nanoparticles, HCR: hybridization chain reaction.

An enzyme-free fluorometric assay is described that accomplishes dual signal amplification by making use of a two stirring bars. Two Y-shaped DNA probes were designed and placed on the bars. When the target (with chloramphenicol as model analyte) is added, it triggers target recycling and simultaneously catalyzes hairpin assembly (CHA). A large fraction of DNA primers is released by the analyte from the bar to the supernatant and open hairpins with G-quadruplex DNA sequence. The G-quadruplex can specifically bind thioflavin T (ThT) to emit fluorescence (with excitation/emission maxima at 445 and 485 nm) for quantification of chloramphenicol. An enzyme is not needed. ThT is added to the system as a fluorescent DNA probe. All this strongly reduces the cost for sensor construction and usage. The dual signal amplification steps occur simultaneously which reduces the detection time. The assay was successfully employed to the determination of CAP in spiked milk and fish samples within 60 min and with a 16 pM limit of detection (at S/ N = 3).
