Achieving accurate quantification and counting of active lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is an important technical guarantee for the industrial production and application of LAB and their products. In this study, a gold nanoparticles@polyvinylpyrrolidone/sodium alginate (AuNPs@PVP/SA) hydrogel SERS sensor with outstanding stability and sensitivity was developed. Utilizing this platform as a substrate material to mitigate the “coffee ring” effect, we explored a strategy for the precise quantitative determination of mixed active LAB based on the AuNPs@PVP/SA hydrogel SERS platform and D 2 O-probed Raman spectroscopy technology. The results indicated that the SERS platform based on AuNPs@PVP/SA hydrogel exhibited excellent spectral reproducibility for LAB as a SERS substrate material, with a significantly reduced “coffee ring” effect. This strategy enabled rapid and quantitative detection of active lactic acid bacteria (LAB), with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10 CFU/mL. Moreover, the strategy had excellent analytical capabilities for the qualitative identification and precise quantification of different species of active LAB in actual samples, achieving an average accuracy of 98.67% with RSD values all less than 5%. It provides a potential technical support for the dynamic monitoring of relative abundance and metabolic phenomena of mixed active LAB in co-culture systems during actual industrial production.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a cornerstone therapeutic agent for autoimmune diseases, requires precise serum concentration monitoring due to its narrow therapeutic window. Current HCQ monitoring methods such as HPLC and LC-MS/MS are sensitive but costly and complex. While electrochemical sensors offer rapid, cost-effective detection, their large chambers and high sample consumption hinder point-of-care use. To address these challenges, we developed a microfluidic electrochemical sensing platform based on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with a hierarchical nanocomposite of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), copper-based metal–organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The Cu-MOF provided high porosity and analyte enrichment, MWCNTs established a 3D conductive network to enhance electron transfer, and AuNPs further optimized catalytic activity through localized plasmonic effects. Structural characterization (SEM, XRD, FT-IR) confirmed the successful integration of these components via π-π stacking and metal–carboxylate coordination. Electrochemical analyses (CV, EIS, DPV) revealed exceptional performance, with a wide linear range (0.05–50 μM), a low detection limit (19 nM, S/N = 3), and a rapid response time (<5 min). The sensor exhibited outstanding selectivity against common interferents, high reproducibility (RSD = 3.15%), and long-term stability (98% signal retention after 15 days). By integrating the nanocomposite-modified SPCE into a microfluidic chip, we achieved accurate HCQ detection in 50 μL of serum, with recovery rates of 95.0–103.0%, meeting FDA validation criteria. This portable platform combines the synergistic advantages of nanomaterials with microfluidic miniaturization, offering a robust and practical tool for real-time therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical settings.

A new gene detection platform based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a system is developed, which is applied for virus gene detections. CRISPR/Cas12a activated by CRISPR ribonucleic acid (crRNA) can recognize and lock the complementary target double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA), followed by the cis -cleavage on the dsDNA and the trans -cleavage on the nearby linker single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Target-induced trans -ssDNA cleavage leads to a failure in an aggregation behavior of the designed SERS probe pair that was bridged by the linker ssDNA, which causes the SERS intensity reduced relative to the control trial that gives much stronger SERS due to the severe aggregation state of SERS probes caused by intact linker ssDNA. This sensing method achieves the highly sensitive detections of human papillomavirus (HPV) genes in serum and pseudovirus within 40 min. The detection sensitivity of this CRISPR/Cas-SERS platform can reach pM. Owing to the flexible designs of the DNA probe and crRNA, this CRISPR/Cas-SERS sensing system is a universal gene detection tool, which can be applied for the in-vitro diagnosis field and point-of-care testing.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely used as laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) nanomaterials for the analysis of low-molecular-weight samples. Nickel/iron-layered double hydroxides (NiFe-LDHs) nanosheets can support the anchoring of AuNPs and enhance the ability of desorption/ionization. Their hybrid nanocomposites are expected to produce synergistic effects to improve the performance of LDI-MS. In this work, a novel AuNPs/NiFe-LDHs nanomaterial was synthesized by self-assembly method and characterized based on TEM , SEM , XPS, UV-vis and FTIR-ATR. AuNPs/NiFe-LDHs assisted LDI-TOF MS exhibited higher peak intensity and lower background noise compared with conventional organic matrices. Furthermore, excellent salt and protein tolerance, good repeatability and quantification were observed when MNZ and its metabolites were detected in the range of 1–50 ng·μL −1 ( R 2 > 0.98), with LODs and LOQs of 0.5 ng·μL −1 and 1 ng·μL −1 , respectively. This nanocomposite could also be used for the analysis of some other small molecules, such as antibiotics, sugars, amino acids and pesticides, demonstrating the potential to detect a variety of environmental chemicals. Taken together, the developed method combined the advantages of two nanomaterials and can provide rapid and accurate analysis of MNZ and its metabolites in water samples, as well as some other small molecules.

A molecularly imprinted polymer/ Au nanoparticles-MoS 2 -graphene/GCE sensor was fabricated and used for the electrochemical detection of rutin. The rose-like Au nanoparticles-MoS 2 -graphene composite (AuNPs-MoS 2 -GN) was fabricated by using a one-pot hydrothermal method. Graphene acted as an efficient matrix for the growth of MoS 2 nanoflower (NF), and the edges of the MoS 2 NF subsequently loaded AuNPs. The AuNPs-MoS 2 -GN composite had large specific surface area, good conductivity and high catalysis, and showed excellent electrochemical response to rutin. To improve the selectivity, rutin imprinted chitosan film was electrodeposited on the AuNPs-MoS 2 -GN/GCE. The obtained molecularly imprinted sensor had strong adsorption capacity for rutin. Under the optimized conditions, the sensor showed a low detection limit (i.e. 4 nmol L −1 ) and a wide detection range (i.e. 0.01–45.0 μmol L −1 ). It also displayed high stability and selectivity. When the sensor was applied to the determination of rutin in real samples satisfactory results were achieved.

Fast and accurate practical sample detection is a great challenge in on-site detection. Herein, we developed a CoFe2O4@HNTs/AuNPs substrate for rapid and efficient magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of aromatic amines and nitrofuran in real samples all-in-one. Magnetic CoFe2O4 beads filled inside halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) can avoid aggregation of particles, endow the substrate with the rapid magnetic separation ability to simplify the pretreatment procedure, and reduce complex matrix interference. Meanwhile, outer surface AuNPs can generate electromagnetic enhancement and hot spots to amplify Raman signals of target molecules enriched/concentrated by HNTs. The CoFe2O4@HNTs/AuNPs substrate exhibited excellent SERS activity (high sensitivity, good reproducibility, and repeatability), pH stability (3.0–11.0), and good MSPE ability (fast magnetic enrichment/separation ability within 5 min). The CoFe2O4@HNTs/AuNPs MSPE SERS substrate can be applied for the determination of 4,4′-thioaniline and nitrofurantoin with a linear range of 0.054–21.7 mg/L and 0.05–1.0 mg/L, and the limits of detection were down to 0.026 mg/L and 0.014 mg/L, respectively. Furthermore, the enhancement factor (EF) of the substrate to 4,4′-thioaniline is up to 2.7 × 107. Besides, the substrate can realize practical SERS determination of trace 4,4-thioaniline in cosmetics and nitrofurantoin in fish feed and aquatic samples. The recoveries were varied from 71.6% to 103.6% for 4,4-thioaniline in hair dyes and 81.9% to 116.3% for nitrofurantoin in fish feed and aquatic samples, respectively. Such a robust and efficient MSPE SERS substrate possesses great potential in rapid detection (within 15 min) for a practical sample, and it also provides a methodology for the preparation of other HNTs-based composites.

Wheat gliadin is thought to be the main cause of wheat allergy leading to celiac disease. In this study, we reported an electrochemical immunosensor based on AuNPs/Zn/Ni-ZIF-8-800@graphene for simple, efficient, and sensitive detection of gliadin. A monoclonal antibody against gliadin were prepared by hybridoma technique. Zn/Ni-ZIF-8-800 with high stability was prepared by using zinc–nickel bimetallic organic framework MOFs, and graphene and gold nanoparticles with large surface area and excellent conductivity were introduced. Chitosan was used as a binder to fixed the composite on the surface of glassy carbon electrode. The fabricated materials and the corresponding sensors were comprehensively characterized by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, and cyclic voltammetry analyses. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of the electrochemical immunosensor was 0.1–100 μg mL −1 , and the detection limit was 0.950 μg mL −1 . In addition, the fabricated sensor exhibited high selectivity and long-term stability. The recovery test showed that the prepared sensor was suitable for the detection of gliadin in real food and feed, exhibiting great promising of the developed sensor in practical application.

Heavy metals and foodborne pathogens have become key pollutants that harm aquatic products, seriously endangering food safety and human health. Therefore, in this study, a ratiometric electrochemical aptamer sensor with a novel signal amplification strategy was constructed using ZrO 2 as the substrate and Ni/Co-MOFs@AuNPs cubic nanomaterials to increase the specific surface area to simultaneously detect Cd 2+ and S.aureus. The shared hairpin complementary chains modified with ferropene (Fc) could simultaneously bind to the Cd 2+ and S.aureus aptamers modified with methylene blue (MB) and anthrquinone-2-carboxylic acid (AQ). The ratios of MB and AQ to Fc were used to realize the qualitative and quantitative detection of Cd 2+ and S.aureus. Under the optimal conditions, the electrochemical aptamer sensor for Cd 2+ and S.aureus was in the range of 1.00 × 10 −2 -1.00 × 10 4 ng/L and 1.00 × 10 1 -1.00 × 10 7 CFU/mL, and the lowest detection limit was 1.91 × 10 −4 ng/L and 1.37 CFU/mL, respectively. The aptasensor constructed in this paper can realize the simultaneous detection of Cd 2+ and S.aureus in scallop and fish, providing a new detection method for the simultaneous detection of a variety of aquatic products pollutants.

Herein, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and fluorescence dual-signal aptasensor has been developed for aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) detection. Fluorescence signal source CdTe quantum dots were decorated on the outer of silica nanoparticles and further functionalized with AFB 1 aptamer. Raman reporter molecules DTNB were decorated on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) together with the aptamer complementary chains. The two parts of nanomaterials were combined by the base complementary pairing principle, to form satellite nanostructures with high SERS and low fluorescence signals following LSPR and FRET effect. The addition of AFB 1 led to the shedding of AuNPs due to the higher sensitivity of the aptamer towards the target and resulting in recovered fluorescence and decreased SERS signals. The developed method showed a linear relationship in the range of 10 −4 -10 3 ng/mL, with detection limit of 0.094 pg/mL. This technology had strong application prospects due to simplicity of operation and high accuracy.

Gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) based immunochromatographic assay strip is a valuable tool for monitoring chemicals in foods. However, the sensitive ICA strip for SBT was rarely reported due to that monoclonal antibody (mAb) against SBT with high affinity was commercially unavailable. Herein, a monoclonal antibody against SBT was prepared through a designed hapten with a carboxylendcapped space arm. The obtained mAb showed high affinity for SBT and N-desmethylsibutramine, a metabolite of SBT. Furthermore, a series of core-shell NPs, polydopamine (PDA) coated AuNPs (PDA/AuNPs) with controlled shell thickness and packing density were synthesized. The obtained PDA/AuNPs-mAb conjugate demonstrated high tolerance to salt and good stability in a wide pH range, which is beneficial to improve the matrix interference common in ICA. As a result, PDA/AuNPs-based ICA could quantify SBT in the range of 3.39–69.60 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.98 ng mL-1. This novel ICA improved the sensitivity of the traditional AuNPs based ICA by nearly 12 times. Method validation was conducted with spiked sample of slimming food and human serum, and compared with HPLC-MS/MS. Consistent results indicated a high sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability of the PDA/AuNPs based ICA approach was achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this study reported the most sensitive immunoassay for SBT thus far.

Herein, a three-dimensional porous nanomaterials AuNPs-decorated polyaniline nanowire arrays/carbon nanotube (Au-PANI-array@CNT) was constructed by modified dilute polymerization and redox reaction. The Au-PANI-array@CNT exhibited a larger specific surface area (50.03 m 2 g −1 ) and abundant mesopores (average pore size: 19.6 nm), due to the vertical growth of PANI nanowire arrays on CNT. The Au-PANI-array@CNT composite with a three-dimensional interconnected porous structure exhibited abundant electroactive sites and high adsorption capacity, significantly enhancing the deposition and electrochemical reaction process of heavy metals. The AuNPs embedded on PANI nanowries can provide high catalytic activity and multidimensional electron transport channels, further improving the detection sensitivity. A sensing platform with ultra-high sensitivity (2091, 3890 μA μM −1 cm −2 ) and lower limit of detection (0.18, 0.15 nM) for Cd(II) and Pb(II) determination was developed based on the three-dimensional porous PANI composite. Furthermore, the sensing mechanism of Au-PANI-array@CNT with Cd(II) was explored by XPS and FTIR spectroscopy . The current response only decreased by 5% after being stored at room temperature for 2 months, indicating that the sensor has high reproducibility and stability. Finally, the analysis of drinking water samples verified the excellent practicability of the sensor for the simultaneous measurement of trace levels (nM) of Cd(II) and Pb(II).

In this study, a simple colorimetric probe was developed for rapid and highly sensitive detection of malathion based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) anti-aggregation mechanism. A certain amount of NaOH can cause the aggregation of citrate-stabilized AuNPs due to the electrostatic interactions, and the color of AuNP solution changes from wine-red to gray. While in the presence of malathion, malathion is easily hydrolyzed in a strong alkali environment (pH > 9), followed by the production of a mass of negative charges, and thus the aggregated AuNPs turns to well-dispersed and the color of AuNP solution changes from gray to wine-red. This characteristic change can be visualized with the naked eye and quantitatively detected by an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrometer. Under optimized conditions, this probe exhibited a linear response to malathion in the concentration range of 0.05–0.8 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) down to 11.8 nM. The probe also showed good specificity for malathion detection in the presence of other interfering pesticide residues. Furthermore, the probe was successfully employed to detect malathion in environmental samples, with a recovery of 94–107% and a relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 8%. The results demonstrated that the proposed colorimetric probe based on anti-aggregation of AuNPs could be used for quantitative analysis of malathion and provided great potential for malathion determination in environmental samples.
