Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most toxic mycotoxins, which is frequently detected in agricultural products. Herein, a novel functional DNA -linked immunosorbent assay (DLISA) with dual-modality based on hybrid chain reaction (HCR) has been successfully developed for ultrasensitive detection of AFB1. The strategy relies on AFB1 immune-bridged occurrence of HCR and the salt-induced aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). An aptamer-initiator stand (Apt-Ini stand) is designed for the AFB1 recognition and the activation of HCR, which can recognize the matched hairpins and cause the crossing-opening of H1 and H2, producing a long double-stranded DNA polymer. The addition of SYBR Green I achieves the fluorescent signal output. Remaining less DNA hairpins were added and stuck on the surface of AuNPs, which were insufficient to protect the AuNPs, resulting in the salt-induced aggregation with the color change from red to blue. The dual-modality provides limits of detections of 1.333 × 10 −14 g/mL and 2.471 × 10 −15 g/mL, respectively. This DLISA with dual-modality provides not only a colorimetry that can meet the needs of on-the-spot preliminary inspection, but also a fluorescence assay that can acquire the precise results.

In order to eliminate the scattered light induced by the signal amplifier in fluorescence anisotropy (FA) assays, a nanosized metal–organic framework MIL-101, ranging from 80–500 nm, has been synthesized through a hydrothermal method with the addition of glycerol. We chose the 100 nm MIL-101 to enhance FA for label-free detection of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) gene sequence and the DNA-intercalating dye SYBR Green I (SGI) as the fluorophore, based on the different affinities of MIL-101 toward ssDNA and dsDNA. The nanosized MIL-101 has a negligible scattering effect owing to its smaller particle size, so all of the experimental data of FA values were smaller than the maximum initial anisotropy of 0.4. As a specific advantage, a dual amplification result of not only an increase in the FA value of SGI/ssDNA (r1) but also a decrease in the FA value of SGI/dsDNA (r2) was presented at the same time. Consequently, a larger FA value change Δr (Δr, Δr = r1 − r2) was obtained and contributed to improve the sensitivity. In addition, the quantitative detection of the target DNA (T) was achieved according to the relationship between Δr and the concentration of T. In the presence of MIL-101, the Δr is 7-fold higher than that without MIL-101 and achieved the sensitive and selective detection of RSV DNA.

Automated and sensitive detection of nucleic acid is crucial for reliable and safe disease diagnostics because the minimum manual operation can effectively avoid sample contamination and infection risk. Herein, a sensitive, label-free and automated method was developed for detecting trace DNA by integrating digital microfluidics (DMF) with chemiluminescence (CL) detection. DMF can automatically manipulate discrete droplets. Taking advantage of sensitive and simple CL detection, DMF-CL integration can automatically and sensitively detect HIV DNA via the preset pathway. To further improve the sensitivity, on-chip exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) was explored to produce large quantities of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the presence of HIV DNA. Then, SYBR Green I (SG) intercalated into dsDNA to generate singlet oxygen upon light irradiation , which in situ oxidized potassium ferrocyanide into potassium ferricyanide . Finally, the CL reaction of potassium ferricyanide and luminol ensured the label-free, reliable and specific detection of HIV DNA in the range of 10 pM to 2 nM. Saving time-consuming and laborious manual operations, the DMF-CL integration greatly reduced the reagent consumption and avoided the contamination of DNA sample as well. Therefore, DMF-CL offers a promising and useful technology for developing automated and reliable biosensing and bioanalysis.

We describe here a fluorometric assay for sensitive detection of oligonucleotides , based on a target recycling amplification strategy driven by toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction and on exonuclease III (Exo Ш)-assisted fluorescence background suppression strategy. The network consists of a pair of partially complementary DNA hairpins (HP 1 and HP 2 ) with 3′ overhang ends, between which the spontaneous hybridization is kinetically hindered by the stems. The target DNA is repeatedly used to trigger a recycling progress between the hairpins, generating numerous HP 1 –HP 2 duplex complexes. Exo III was then employed to digest the double strand parts of the residual hairpins and the intermediate products. The fluorescent dye , SYBR Green I , binds to the double-strand DNA products and emits strong fluorescence to achieve sensitive detection of the target DNA with the detection limit of 5.34 pM. Moreover, this proposed strategy showed high discrimination efficiency towards target DNA against mismatched DNA and was successfully applied in the analysis of human serum sample.

Carbaryl is a widely-used carbamate pesticide and the detection of its residues in environmental, food and clinical samples is of great importance. In this sturdy, we developed a green photocatalytic-biosensor based on double strand DNA-SYBR green I complex for sensitively colorimetric detection of carbaryl. This green photocatalytic-biosensor can oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into blue ox-TMB. Meanwhile thiocholine is catalytically produced by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) to directly reduce blue ox-TMB into colorless TMB. But the activity of AChE will be suppressed by carbaryl, thus generating less thiocholine and resulting in more ox-TMB for colorimetric analysis . After the careful optimization of sensing conditions (2 μM for DNA concentration, 50 × concentration for SYBR Green I, 10 min for illumination time), the lowest detectable concentration for carbaryl is 0.008 ng/mL with a linear response in the range of 0.01–0.25 ng/mL. In addition, this photocatalytic-biosensor has good selectivity over non-target chemicals (acetamiprid, atrazine , carbendazim , melamine , bisphenol A , estradiol). It also allows detection of pesticides in real samples verified by a standard HPLC method.

Sensitive and reliable detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is critical for food safety monitoring. Herein, we developed an innovative amplification free, dual-mode microsensor integrated with smartphone imaging for visual quantitative detection of AFB1. We used a bivalent fluorescence-enhancing (BFE) aptamer and SYBR Green I (SG I) for a ratiometric fluorescence system. The rationally designed BFE aptamer featured two confined binding pockets that simultaneously achieved high-affinity recognition and intrinsic fluorescence amplification for AFB1. This unique design eliminated the need for complex probe labeling while significantly improving detection stability and sensitivity. SG I further complemented the system by generating a green emission upon binding to the BFE aptamer-AFB1 complex, enabling dual-color visualization and robust ratiometric quantification. To further expand the detection versatility, we constructed a smartphone-based digital platform, allowing on-site testing with favorable accuracy. The optimized method achieved wide detection ranges of 1–200 ng/mL (ratiometric fluorescence mode) and 1−100 ng/mL (visual mode), with detection limit of 0.69 ng/mL and 0.94 ng/mL, high selectivity and satisfied recoveries (94.0 %–108.3 %) in food sample analysis. The integration of target signal self-amplification with smartphone readout represents an advancement in portable food safety control, offering a practical approach for mycotoxin monitoring.

The present study reports a dual-functional platform that couples vancomycin-functionalized magnetic beads (VMBs) with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to achieve rapid, culture-free discrimination and quantification of live and dead Listeria monocytogenes in complex food matrices. The exploitation of vancomycin's high-affinity binding to the D-Ala–D-Ala motif of intact peptidoglycan enables the selective capture and removal of viable cells, thereby leaving only DNA from non-viable bacteria for SYBR Green qPCR analysis. Optimisation of bead coupling and adsorption kinetics, in conjunction with a pre-calibrated live/dead correction algorithm, yields an LOD of 10 2 CFU/mL over a 10 1 –10 7 CFU/mL linear range and completes within 12 h—a process that is significantly faster than conventional culture methods. The validation of the method in beef, salad, cheese, and salmon matrices has yielded recoveries ranging from 96.4 to 99.2 %, with RSDs consistently below 3.6 %. Stability tests have further confirmed that dead-cell DNA remains amplifiable for a minimum of one week, and non-specific capture remains below 5 %. In contrast to isothermal or immunomagnetic approaches, the VMB-qPCR system offers a unique capability to provide unambiguous live/dead resolution without the use of photoactive dyes or extended enrichment, thereby providing a robust, high-throughput tool for food safety surveillance and clinical pathogen monitoring.

Patulin (PAT) contamination in fruit and fruit products is a significant public health concern. Here, we developed a ratiometric fluorescent aptasensor for PAT detection based on aptamer-recognition and Exonuclease III amplification. Two structure selective dyes, SYBR Green I (SGI) and N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM), were used as fluorescent probes. In the developed biosensing system, the binding of PAT to aptamer triggered the liberation of cDNA. Subsequently, amplification was mediated by Exonuclease III. S1 was released from the S1-S2 duplex by enzymatic hydrolyzation and incorporated into a stable G-quadruplex. As a result, the fluorescence of SGI decreased, whereas that of NMM increased. There was a strong linear correlation between the relative fluorescence intensity and PAT concentrations (20 to 500 ng·L −1 range) (R 2 = 0.99). The biosensing system was highly sensitive, and could detect PAT concentration as low as 4.7 ng·L −1 . The sensor was also highly specific, and could differentiate PAT from several other related mycotoxins. In summary, we developed a new bioassay for the accurate detection of PAT contamination in fruits and fruit products. This research provides a new approach for developing ratiometric bioassays based on structure-selective dyes and enzymatic conversion processes.

Herein, a label free and sensitive miRNA detection method with enhanced practical applicability was developed based on the locked nucleic acid (LNA) assisted repeated fishing amplification strategy. The working mechanism of the proposed method is as follows: 1) a DNA probe (i.e, L-DNA) with LNA bases is immobilized onto the surface of a gold foil. The L-DNA hybridizes with the 3′ terminus of the first strands of complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) of the target miRNA in the test samples; 2) The protruding 5′ terminus of the cDNA serves as a ‘fishhook’ to repeatedly fish the products of a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) out from a ‘reaction tube’; 3) The HCR products can be unloaded from the gold foil into a ‘product tube’ through temperature-controlled dehybridization; 4) The concentration of the target miRNA is determined based on the fluorescence intensity generated by the addition of SYBR-Green I (SG) into the ‘product tube’. The proposed platform was applied to the detection of miRNA-122 in cell lysate samples and obtained quantitative results with accuracy comparable to the quantitative reverse transcription PCR method (qRT-PCR). It is worth pointing out that the proposed platform achieved a limit of detection value of 2.9 fM for miRNA-122 by a simple but effective LNA-assisted repeated fishing amplification strategy instead of complicated enzyme-based amplification techniques. It is reasonable to expect that the proposed method provides a competitive alternative for designing practically applicable, cost-effective and label-free miRNA detection methods.

Phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2 ) may be a vital biomarker for the prediction and diagnosis of some diseases. Consequently, it is of great significance to quantitatively detect PLA 2 in biologic samples. Herein, on the basis of the principle of luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) between upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and SYBR Green I (SG), we proposed a technology for the highly sensitive detection of PLA 2 amount. Therein, as an energy receptor, SG will be quantitatively loaded into liposomes firstly. Then, due to the hydrolysis of liposomes under the catalysis of PLA 2 , SG will be released and inserted into the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) on the surface of UCNPs, which triggers the LRET because of the shortening of effective spatial distance between UCNPs and SG. Under exciting of NIR light, UCNPs emit luminescence at 476 nm, which makes SG emit fluorescence at 522 nm through LRET. Under optimal conditions, the emission intensity ratio (I 522 nm /I 476 nm ) increased linearly with the PLA 2 amount in the range of 20 U/L to 400 U/L, and the limit of detection (LOD) reached 15 U/L. Here, after comparing with the clinical standard method, it is found that the biosensor is expected to provide a convenient and sensitive assay for the detection of PLA 2 in actual serum samples. Furthermore, such biosensor can also be used to test the inhibitor of PLA 2 .

An ultrasensitive fluorescence method for determination of protein is developed based on hybridization chain reaction (HCR). In this assay, the streptavidin-magnetic nanobeads were conjugated to biotinylated initiators and biotinylated anti-IgG. In the presence of human IgG, the magnetic nanobeads were fixed on the substrate and the carried initiators propagated the chain reaction of hybridization to form the nicked polymers. Because the nanobead probe carries with a large number of oligonucleotides per protein binding event, there is obvious amplification in the nicked polymers. Then, numerous SYBR Green I molecules were intercalated into the grooves of the long dsDNA polymers, generating a substantially apparent increase in the corresponding fluorescence intensity . With HCR amplification and magenetic nanobead to preamplify the fluorescence signal and reduce the background signal, the detection limit of this assay was 14 aM. Compared with the reported protein detection methods, our method exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity. In addition, the proposed method possessed excellent selectivity and low matrix effect . What is more, the assay was also studied for clinical application in human serum with a satisfactory and reliable result.

In this study, the original chloramphenicol aptamer containing 80 bases was truncated to 30 bases with high affinity by the SYBR Green I assay. It was found that the ionic strength and type affect the recognition of aptamers, especially magnesium ion played a vital role in the binding process. Furthermore, the binding performance of aptamer, including binding mode, key binding sites and conformational changes were further investigated by circular dichroism spectroscopy, UV–vis absorption spectrum and molecular docking. Based on these research data, we inferred that chloramphenicol bound to the minor groove region in the aptamer double helix. Finally, the optimized aptamer LLR10 was used to develop a novel label free fluorescence polarization assay to detect chloramphenicol within SYBR Green I as the source of fluorescence polarization signal. Under optimal conditions, the designed method showed a linear detection range of 0.1–10 nM with a detection limit of 0.06 nM. Additionally, the aptasensor exhibited a high accuracy to the detection of chloramphenicol in milk samples with a recovery rate from 93.7% to 98.4%. Therefore, the developed label free fluorescence polarization aptasensor provides a new idea for the rapid, reliable and sensitive detection of chloramphenicol, which can be applied to food safety control.
