As a crucial biomarker for the early warning and prognosis of liver cancer diseases, elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) are associated with hepatocellular carcinoma and germ cell tumors. Herein, we present a novel signal-on electrochemical aptamer sensor, utilizing AuNPs–MXene composite materials, for sensitive AFP quantitation. The AuNPs–MXene composite was synthesized through a simple one-step method and modified on portable microelectrodes. As signal molecules, AFP aptamers were conjugated with methylene blue (MB) and immobilized on the electrode surface. When interacting with AFP, conformational changes in the aptamer–target complex caused MB to approach the electrode, and the electrochemical signal was enhanced through signal-on mechanisms. The developed sensor demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity for AFP, with a log-linear relationship defined as 1–300 ng/mL, and the LOD was 0.05 ng/mL (S/N = 3). The method was applied to laboratorial and real clinical samples and presented satisfactory selectivity, reproducibility, and long-term stability. The proposed high-performance sensor highlights the potential of electrochemical aptamer sensors in improving the warning capabilities in disease management.

In this study, Ru(bpy) 3 2+ and oxalate (C 2 O 4 2− ) in Ru@Zn-MOF generated self-enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL). The self-enhanced ECL composite exhibited a short electron transfer distance and minimal energy loss, which ensured the high and stable luminescence efficiency of Ru@Zn-MOF. A MnO 2 @AuNPs nanocomposite was introduced into Ru@Zn-MOF via antigen–antibody interactions in the presence of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA). This significantly quenched the ECL signal due to the combined effect of the dual quenchers, MnO 2 NFs and AuNPs. A highly efficient ECL-RET immunosensor was constructed for the sensitive detection of SCCA in the linear range of 1 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL, with a limit of detection of 0.26 fg/mL (S/N = 3). This immunosensor has broad clinical applications for the quantitative detection of biomarkers.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a ubiquitous foodborne pathogen capable of causing food poisoning and producing enterotoxins in foodstuffs, which ultimately results in various illnesses, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and pneumonia. In this study, we present a MoS 2 NF@AuNPs enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for MRSA detection based on a DNA branching tree structure formed via enzyme-free hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification. This approach integrates bacterial aptamers with multistage HCR amplification to achieve highly sensitive and specific target recognition. Furthermore, MoS 2 NF@AuNPs act as a synergistic catalyst for Ru(bpy) 3 2+ molecules, which in turn substantially enhances the signal readout of the biosensor. The biosensor exhibits a robust linear correlation for MRSA detection over a concentration range of 10 0 to 10 7 cfu/mL, with a detection limit of 1 cfu/mL. In addition, the biosensor demonstrates excellent selectivity and high sensitivity when applied to real samples such as water, juice, and milk.

Background Recently, headspace single-drop microextraction (HS-SDME) has attracted some attention for developing sensitive and selective colorimetric assays due to its excellent capability to reduce matrix interference and enrich analytes. However, the single droplet limits direct visual observation of color change and its quantitative measurement suffers from reduced optical path length. Therefore, amplifying the detection signals in both volume and intensity is an important and challenging task for improving the sensitivity, stability, and accuracy of such colorimetric analysis . Results In this study, a "headspace-nanoenzyme" (HS-NE) strategy was proposed that successfully addressed these challenges and enabled the colorimetric and fluorescent dual-mode detection of trace Hg 2+ . Atomic Hg 0 , generated via chemical vapor generation (CVG), underwent headspace reaction with AuNPs droplet to form Au@HgNPs, thus catalyzing the oxidation of o -phenylenediamine (OPD) in the presence of H 2 O 2 . The absorbance and fluorescence intensity of oxidized OPD were proportion to the concentration of Hg 2+ in the sample solution. Due to the greatly enhanced peroxidase-like activity by Au@HgNPs, the limit of detection was as low as 0.98 nM and 0.21 nM for the colorimetric and fluorescent modes, respectively. The applicability of this assay was further demonstrated with determination of Hg 2+ in real environmental and biological samples. Moreover, a convenient and cost-effective paper-based sensing platform was fabricated for rapid on-site detection of Hg 2+ . Significance and novelty This novel HS-NE strategy combines HS-SDME and nanoenzyme-based sensing to achieve dual effects of eliminating matrix interference and amplifying the measurement signal, resulting in improved accuracy, enhanced stability, high sensitivity, and exceptional selectivity , with great potential for on-site determination of trace Hg 2+ .

Foodborne bacterial infections pose serious threats to human health, leading to illnesses and even fatalities. The key to solve this problem is to develop fast and effective sensor for sensitive detection of bacteria. In this study, an electrochemical biosensor based on magnetic nanocomposite material Fe 3 O 4 @COF-AuNPs and trigging isothermal circular amplification (TICA) was constructed for detection of foodborne bacteria. In this design, a hairpin aptamer probe (HAP)-bound DNA monolayer was designed, serving as the substrate for the electrode to increase surface area. The Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) was selected as the target. The presence of E. coli caused the configuration change of the HAP and allowed the occurrence of TICA with the use of the Klenow Fragment polymerase (KF-Poly), thus the HAPs were away from the DNA monolayer. After adding the catalytic magnetic nanocomposite material Fe 3 O 4 @COF-AuNPs, it was immobilized on the DNA monolayer of the electrode through DNA complementary pairing and exhibited high electrocatalytic behavior towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. This enabled ultrasensitive detection of E. coli , with the detection limit (LOD) as low as 10 CFU/mL. The detection time was 1 h. This designed electrochemical sensor showed high selectivity, stability, and reproducibility, which offered a new avenue for detection of foodborne bacteria.

A sensitive electrochemical strategy was established for kanamycin determination. A specific aptamer was modified on the electrode as the probe, followed by a cyclic hybridization chain reaction (HCR) with methylene blue, causing an increasing signal response. In the presence of kanamycin, it can initiatively convolve the aptamer and prevent further DNA assembling, resulting in a signal distinction sensitive to the target amount. However, the signal reproducibility is low. To improve the precision, the HCR procedure was investigated. The results demonstrated that the optimal amount of assembled DNA is 12-fold to that of aptamer. This amount was then controlled in further assays. Admittedly, controlled DNA assembling commonly indicates a limited signal amplification. To further enhance the sensitivity, a nanocomposite based on MoS 2 and AuNPs was modified on the electrode. The results of the assay proved that the signal distinction sensitive to target amount increased by 50%. A linearity range is obtained from 0.01 nM to 1.0 μM of kanamycin, and the LOD is 8.4 pM. Subsequently, this strategy was employed to detect kanamycin in chicken liver and milk sample; the recovery results suggest that it possess a satisfactory application prospect in analysis of agricultural products.

In this study, a near-infrared (NIR) electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitter CdIn 2 S 4 was synthesized by a convenient hydrothermal strategy. The ECL properties of the obtained CdIn 2 S 4 were examined in the presence of potassium persulfate coreactant at an excitation potential of − 1.25 V. The low trigger voltage of CdIn 2 S 4 may be ascribed to its lower bandgap. This lower excitation potential could effectively reduce the side-effects induced by high voltages, while maintaining the biological activity of antibodides and antigens. The ECL features of CdIn 2 S 4 were also investigated, demonstrating that CdIn 2 S 4 exhibited excellent NIR characteristics, and surface state transitions led to the ECL emission. Importantly, CdIn 2 S 4 was introduced into ECL and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to establish a dual-mode immunosensing interface. Meanwhile, AuNPs@g-C 3 N 4 with excellent properties were used to promote electron transmission and increase the immobilization amount of zearalenone (ZEA) antibodies in the dual-mode sensing system. The developed immunosensing strategy displayed superior sensing performance in ZEA analysis. The detection limits of ZEA were 30 fg mL −1 (ECL model) and 10 fg mL −1 (EIS model), respectively. The desirable recovery results of ZEA in corn samples prove the application potential of the NIR emitter CdIn 2 S 4 in developing a dual-mode immunosensing system for early real-time use.

In this study, a new HAP/rGO/AuNPs-AO modified carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated for amperometric detection of ascorbic acid. The HAP/rGO/AuNPs composite was prepared by one-step hydrothermal method. The large specific surface area, strong adsorption and excellent biocompatibility of HAP nanowires enabled fast, stable and accurate detection of ascorbic acid. As array of quantum dot, AuNPs had strong electrocatalytic activity in addition to good adsorption to enzymes, which could provide high sensitivity and low limit of detection for biosensor. Then rGO ensured that current signal could be quickly transferred from the composite to electrode. Under the optimum conditions, the prepared biosensor demonstrated a wide linear range from 0.39 to 36 mM (R 2 = 0.99845), a low limit of detection (3.39 μM, S/N = 3) and a high sensitivity (15.949 mA moL −1 ) with good selectivity, stability (10.8%) and repeatability (3.9%), which might providing a reasonable and reliable way for ascorbic acid detection.

The extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2-ECD) is a breast cancer biomarker. Accurate and sensitive detection of HER2-ECD concentration in serum is crucial in the diagnosis and patient follow-up. Herein, an “off–on” type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor based on the resonance energy transfer (RET) between AuPt@ZIF-67 and AuNPs/g-C3N4/PDDA was developed for detecting HER2-ECD. First, AuNP-modified g-C3N4 (AuNPs/g-C3N4/PDDA), as a signal substrate, generates ECL signals under the co-reactant peroxodisulfate (S2O82–) in a specific potential range and shows significantly enhanced signal strength and stability. Then, AuPt@ZIF-67 expeditiously quenched the ECL signal of AuNPs/g-C3N4/PDDA because of ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) between AuPt@ZIF-67 and AuNPs/g-C3N4/PDDA. We designed a new aptasensor detection platform for HER2-ECD detection. After specific binding of the aptamer with HER2-ECD, the AuPt@ZIF-67 content in the system decreased, and the ECL response recovered. The biosensor demonstrated a linear range of HER2-ECD detection between 100 fg/mL and 100 ng/mL under ideal circumstances, with a low detection limit of 17.3 fg/mL. Furthermore, this biosensor was successfully tested in human serum samples. This strategy, as a novel ECL system with satisfactory stability and excellent sensitivity, can realize the detection of other biological molecules by changing the probe, which is a promising method.

In this paper, a novel electrochemical sensing platform for the sensitive detection of interleukin 6 (IL-6) was designed and fabricated. A label-free aptasensor was fabricated by modifying the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using a nanocomposite composed of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (cMWCNTs), cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The nanocomposite improved electron transfer rate and increased intercalation of signaling molecules. Moreover, it also offers desirable capabilities for the immobilization of biomolecules. The cMWCNTs/CoHCF/AuNPs modified electrode showed good electrochemical characteristics and biocompatibility, thus achieving excellent sensor performance. The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to detect the peak current of CoHCF in the redox process. The peak current is proportional to the concentration of IL-6 on the electrode surface. Under optimal conditions, the proposed aptamer sensor exhibits a linear range from 0.5 pg/mL to 1000 pg/mL and has a low detection limit of 0.17 pg/mL. In addition, the IL-6 aptamer sensor has good selectivity, high stability, and satisfactory reproducibility, showing broad potential in clinical research and diagnostic applications.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an important and powerful analytical technique in chemical and biochemical analyses. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can effectively capture volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with high adsorption capacity and fast kinetics, and the local surface plasmon resonance characteristics of gold nanoparticles can quickly and effectively distinguish different VOCs by SERS. Combining both, we designed a novel SERS substrate based on embedding gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) within MIL-101(Cr) for the recognition of various VOCs in the gaseous phase. Occupying of AuNPs inside MIL-101(Cr) increased the micropore-specific surface area of AuNPs@MIL-101(Cr), which enabled AuNPs@MIL-101(Cr) to absorb more toluene molecules and consequently realized its high detection sensitivity. The detection limits for toluene, 4-ethylbenzaldehyde, and formaldehyde were down to 6, 5, and 75, ppm respectively. Moreover, this substrate could be used for detecting different VOCs simultaneously. Finally, we discussed the enhancement of AuNPs outside and inside MIL-101(Cr) on the Raman signal.

An easy and effective strategy for synthesizing a ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor has been demonstrated in this work. Novel fluorescent BSA–AuNPs@Tb–AMP (BSA, bovine serum albumin; AMP, adenosine 5′-monophosphate; AuNPs, Au nanoparticles) metal–organic framework (MOF) nanostructures were synthesized by encapsulating BSA–AuNPs into Tb–AMP MOFs for the detection of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA) and Hg 2+ . DPA could strongly co-ordinate with Tb 3+ to replace water molecules from the Tb 3+ center and accordingly enhanced the fluorescence of Tb–AMP MOFs. The fluorescence of BSA–AuNPs at 405 nm remained constant. While the fluorescence of BSA–AuNPs at 635 nm was quenched after Hg 2+ was added, the fluorescence of Tb–AMP MOFs remained constant. Accordingly, a ratiometric fluorescence nanosensor was constructed for detection of DPA and Hg 2+ . The ratiometric nanosensor exhibited good selectivity to DPA over other substances. The F 545 /F 405 linearly increased with increase of DPA concentration in the range of 50 nM to 10 μM with a detection limit as low as 17.4 nM. F 635 /F 405 increased linearly with increase of Hg 2+ concentration ranging from 50 nM to 1 μM with a detection limit as low as 20.9 nM. Additionally, the nanosensor could be successfully applied for the determination of DPA and Hg 2+ in running water.
