Exploring the construction of an interface with bright emission, fabulous stability, and good function to develop high-performance electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors for tumor biomarkers is in high demand but faces a huge challenge. Herein, we report an oriented attachment and in situ self-assembling strategy for one-step fabrication of CdTe QD-encapsulated Hf polymer membrane onto an ITO surface (Hf-CP/CdTe QDs/APS/ITO). Hf-CP/CdTe QDs/APS/ITO is fascinating with excellent stability, high ECL emission, and specific adsorption toward ssDNA against dsDNA and mononucleotides (mNs). These interesting properties make it an ideal interface to rationally develop an immobilization-free ECL biosensor for cancer antigen 125 (CA125), used as a proof-of-concept analyte, based on target-aptamer recognition-promoted exonuclease III (Exo III)-assisted digestion. The recognition of ON by CA125 leads to the formation of CA125@ON, which hybridizes with Fc-ssDNA to switch Exo III-assisted digestion, decreasing the amount of Fc groups anchored onto the electrode’s surface and blocking electron transfer. As compared to the case where CA125 was absent, significant ECL emission recovery is determined and relies on CA125 concentration. Thus, highly sensitive analysis of CA125 against other biomarkers was achieved with a limit of detection down to 2.57 pg/mL. We envision this work will provide a new path to develop ECL biosensors with excellent properties, which shows great potential for early and accurate diagnosis of cancer.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a toxic metabolite produced by fungi with substantial environmental and health concerns. Thus, the detection of AFB1 has attracted increasing attention. In this study, a fluorometric sandwich biosensor was developed for the detection of AFB1, which was prepared by combining molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with an aptamer. Porous carbon (PC) generated by the carbonization of ZIF-8 provided abundant sites for the MIP layer to achieve high-performance recognition of AFB1. The aptamer-modified CdTe/ZnS achieved efficient sandwich analysis of AFB1 as a signal probe. The sandwich biosensor exhibited excellent selectivity and high sensitivity with a dynamic linear range of 0.01–20 ng/mL and good reliability in spiked edible oil samples as low as 4.0 pg/mL. In sum, the developed sandwich biosensor is promising for the detection of AFB1 in food and the environment, with great potential in the control of other challenging food hazards .

The sensing method for hydrogen peroxide could also be employed to detect H2O2-bioprecursors in the presence of oxidase. However, the sensitivity of the conventional method is limited, and the catalytic stability and recyclability of enzymes also need to be improved. In this study, glucose was chosen as a typical representative H2O2-bioprecursor to design a fluorescence sensing system for H2O2-bioprecursors based on a magnetic immobilized enzyme and CdTe quantum dots. The magnetic immobilized enzyme was fabricated by a cross-linking method to enhance the stability and recyclability of the enzyme. The obtained product was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and vibrating sample magnetometry, respectively. The CdTe quantum dots were prepared by a hydrothermal method, and revealed a maximum emission peak at about 610 nm under the maximum excitation light (339 nm). The developed CdTe QDs exhibited excellent sensing performance for hydrogen peroxide. The prepared immobilized enzyme and quantum dots were used to develop a fluorescence sensing system and were successfully exploited to detect a typical H2O2-bioprecursor (glucose) in the presence of glucose oxidase. The method exhibited good linear performance in the concentration range of 1–20 μg mL−1, and good recoveries ranging from 106.2–117.7%. This study demonstrated that the strategy could be extended to detect more H2O2-bioprecursors.

The inappropriate application of aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGs) in food products has led to the accumulation of AG residues in the human body. In this study, a novel fluorescent sensor based on mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA)-modified CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were designed for the rapid visual detection of a representative AG, neomycin (NEO). The proposed sensor showed excellent performance toward NEO determination, with a detection limit of 1.60 × 10 −8 mol/L. Furthermore, MSA-CdTe QDs can be applied to the visual detection of NEO, where the fluorescence changes from bright yellow to dark red with increasing NEO concentration. Most importantly, high selectivity of MSA-CdTe QDs toward NEO was achieved even in the presence of other antibiotics, which are common interfering agents, with a recovery rate in actual samples as high as 95.66 %-100.77 % and an RSD of less than 3.15 %.

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of hepatocellular carcinoma-associated microRNA-122 and microRNA-199a/b-3p. This probe consists of two kinds of nanomaterials. The first comprises CdTe@CdS core-shell quantum dots which, on excitation at 375 nm give two emissions, with peak wavelengths at 543 (g-QDs) and at 627 nm (r-QDs). The second comprises gold nanoparticles acting as a quencher. In the absence of the target, g-QD-N1 and r-QD-N2 are stable due to the fluorescence stability. With the addition of microRNA-122 and microRNA-199a/b-3p, g-QD-N1 and r-QD-N2 are conjugated to the surface of AuNP-S1/S2 through base complementary pairing. As a result, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurs, resulting in a decrease at 550 nm and 635 nm respectively, which can realize the simultaneous detection of two different microRNAs. Detection is achieved within 50 min. The detection limits (3σ/k) are 0.2 nM for microRNA-122 and 0.5 nM for microRNA-199a/b-3p. The clinical applicability of the assay was demonstrated by detecting microRNAs in human serum and different cell lysates.

An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) nanoprobe was fabricated for the determination of clenbuterol (CLB). A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film was coated on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode modified with CdTe-doped multiwall carbon nanotubes. The MIP film with CLB as the template molecule improves the selectivity of the nanoprobe, CdTe is used as ECL signal amplifier, and MWCNT works as the carrier. The ECL intensity is altered by elution and reabsorption of CLB. The possible reaction mechanism and experimental parameters of the nanoprobe are discussed. Under optimized conditions, the quenched ECL intensity and the CLB concentration have a linear relationship in the range 2.3 × 10 −9 to 1.5 × 10 −5 mol·L −1 , and the detection limit is 1.0 × 10 −9 mol·L −1 (S/ N = 3). The nanoprobe was successfully applied to the determination of CLB in pork samples.

The toxicity of CdTe QDs with nearly identical maximum emission wavelength but modified with four different ligands (MPA, NAC, GSH and dBSA) to HEK293 and HeLa cells were investigated using flow cytometry, spectroscopic and microscopic methods. The results showed that the cytotoxicity of QDs increased in a dose- and time-dependent manner. No appreciable fraction of cells with sub-G1 DNA content, the loss of membrane integrity, and the swelling of nuclei clearly indicated that CdTe QDs could lead to necrotic cell death in HEK293 cells. JC-1 staining and TEM images confirmed that QDs induced MPT, which resulted in mitochondrial swelling, collapse of the membrane potential. MPT is an important step in QDs-induced necrosis. Moreover, QDs induced MPT through the elevation of ROS. The fluorimetric assay and theoretical analysis demonstrated ROS production has been associated with the internalization of QDs with cells. Due to large surface/volume ratios of QDs, when QDs added in the culture medium, serum proteins in the culture medium will be adsorbed on the surface of QDs. This adsorption of serum protein will change the surface properties and size, and then mediate the cellular uptake of QDs via the clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway. After entering into cells, the translocation of QDs in cells is usually via endosomal or lysosomal vesicles. The rapid degradation of QDs in lysosome and the lysosomal destabilization induce cell necrosis. This study provides a basis for understanding the cytotoxicity mechanism of CdTe QDs, and valuable information for safe use of QDs in the future.

Cadmium ions (Cd 2+ ) greatly threat human health and the environment due to its extremely severe toxicity. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to establish a sensitive and portable platform for monitoring Cd 2+ on site. In this work, a novel microfluidic-based fluorescent electronic eye (E-eye) combined with tetrasodium iminodisuccinate (IDS)-etched CdTe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) was developed for portable and sensitive detection of trace Cd 2+ in water environment. The fluorescent E-eye consists of a microfluidic chip for miniaturized flow analysis, an ultraviolet light excitation module for fluorescent excitation, an optical lens for device miniaturization and a smartphone for portable photographing and analysis. The IDS was added in the CdTe/CdS QDs to cause fluorescence quenching due to the chemical etching. Subsequently added Cd 2+ will be recognized by etched QDs, thus inducing the fluorescence changes that can be directly captured by the E-eye for quantitative detection of Cd 2+ . With the optimization of all parameters including pH, reaction time and the concentration of IDS, the proposed platform could detect Cd 2+ with a low detection limit of 0.26 μg/L in the range of 1–250 μg/L. It is worth noting that the performance of the developed fluorescent E-eye is quite comparable to a commercial microplate reader with a detailed comparison in linearity, sensitivity and detection limit. In summary, the proposed microfluidic-based fluorescent E-eye provides a promising platform for portable and high sensitive detection of trace cadmium in water environment.

It was reported that Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 6 (PCSK6) can promote the progression of rheumatoid arthritis to a higher aggressive status. In this work, a novel visible light induced photoelectrochemical (PEC) platform was designed to detect PCSK6 gene. ZnO@CdTe nanocable arrays/carboxylated g-C 3 N 4 used as the PEC signal generator . Hexagonal ZnO nanorods grew on ITO electrode firstly. CdTe were then electrodeposited on the ZnO nanorods surface to enhance the photogenerated h + /e − separation efficiency. Carboxylated g-C 3 N 4 was utilized to improve h + /e − separation efficiency and anchor the capture probes of PCSK6 gene by the covalent bonding effect. The 5′ and 3′ primers captured PCSK6 ssDNA by the specific recognition. The linear range was 10 pg/mL to 20.0 ng/mL with a detection limit of 2 pg/mL.

Understanding the formation of protein corona (PC) is of vital importance for exploring the toxicity of nanoparticles and promoting their safe applications. In this study, CdTe QDs doping with 0, 1%, 5% and 10% Zn were synthesized using one-pot hydrothermal methods . Afterwards, this study explored and compared the formation of pure and Zn doped-QDs PC as well as the subsequent molecular and cellular toxicity. Result found that Zn doping regulated the toxicity of Cd-QDs by controlling their ability to adsorb serum proteins . The adsorption to Cd-QDs induced the dispersion, unfolding, secondary structural changes and the activity loss of bovine serum albumin (BSA). Among the synthesized Cd-QDs, 10%Zn-QDs exhibited the highest fluorescence quantum yield and lowest molecular toxicity. The formations of pure QDs and 10%Zn-QDs with BSA corona are majorly driven by different forces with different patterns. The regulation of BSA on the cytotoxicity differences of pure QDs and 10%Zn-QDs was similar with fetal bovine serum, proving the significant contribution of BSA to the cytotoxicity of Cd-QDs PC. Compared with pure QDs PC, the higher cytotoxicity and oxidative stress level of 10%Zn-QDs PC were correlated with higher intracellular [Cd 2+ ]. Both larger amount of BSA adsorption and higher level of intracellular reactive oxygen species could accelerate the dissolution rates of 10%Zn-QDs and thus result in higher intracellular [Cd 2+ ].

Caffeine naturally occurs in tea and cocoa, which is also used as an additive in beverages and has pharmacological effects such as refreshing, antidepressant, and digestion promotion, but excessive caffeine can cause harm to the human body. In this work, based on the specific response between nano zinc 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra(4-pyridyl)-21H-23H-porphine (nano ZnTPyP)-CdTe quantum dots (QDs) and caffeine, combined with chemometrics, a visual paper-based sensor was constructed for rapid and on-site detection of caffeine. The fluorescence of QDs can be quenched by nano ZnTPyP. When caffeine is added to the system, it can pull nano ZnTPyP off the surface of the QDs to achieve fluorescence recovery through electrostatic attraction and nitrogen/zinc coordination. The detection range is 5 × 10 −11 ~3 × 10 −9 mol L −1 , and the detection limit is 1.53 × 10 −11 mol L −1 ( R 2 = 0.9990) ( S / N = 3). The paper-based sensor constructed exhibits good results in real samples, such as tea water, cell culture fluid, newborn bovine serum, and human plasma. Therefore, the sensor is expected to be applied to the rapid instrument-free detection of caffeine in food and biological samples. Graphical abstract

A sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) sensor based on chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) in CdTe quantum dots@luminol (CdTe QDs@luminol) nanomaterials combined with chitosan/graphene oxide-magnetite-molecularly imprinted polymer (Cs/GM-MIP) for sensing chrysoidine was developed. CdTe QDs@luminol was designed to not only amplify the signal of CL but also reduce luminol consumption in the detection of chrysoidine. On the basis of the abundant hydroxy and amino, Cs and graphene oxide were introduced into the GM-MIP to improve the adsorption ability. The adsorption capacities of chrysoidine by both Cs/GM-MIP and non-imprinted polymer (Cs/GM-NIP) were investigated, and the CdTe QDs@luminol and Cs/GM-MIP were characterized by UV–vis, FTIR, SEM and TEM. The proposed sensor can detect chrysoidine within a linear range of 1.0 × 10 − 7 - 1.0 × 10 − 5 mol/L with a detection limit of 3.2 × 10 − 8 mol/L (3 δ ) due to considerable chemiluminescence signal enhancement of the CdTe quantum dots@luminol detector and the high selectivity of the Cs/GM-MIP system. Under the optimal conditions of CL, the CdTe QDs@luminol-Cs/GM-MIP-CL sensor was used for chrysoidine determination in samples with satisfactory recoveries in the range of 90-107%.
