In this study, an on-line SPE-disc filled with phytic acid induced 3D graphene-based foam (PAGF) has been applied to the determination of the migration of bisphenol A (BPA) in disposable syringes. The approach is of quick, easy, sensitive and environmentally-friendly. Experimental conditions were investigated and optimized including the character of enriched material and the amount of migrated BPA...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a highly toxic chemical, and its residue in milk product is threatening people's health due to its possible leaching from the packagings and cans with BPA coating. In this work, halides modified Au nanoparticles (NPs) as the modification substrates were first designed for rapid and sensitive determination of BPA residue in real milk by SERS method with the assistance of aggregation...
Based on Co-Co Prussian blue analogue (Co-Co PBA), a novel immunosensor has been developed for sensitive detection of prion protein (PrPC). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-modified Co-Co PBA nanocubes (PBA-AuNPs) worked as a support of the antibody (Ab2) of PrPC to obtain Ab2-PBA-AuNPs composite and also as the signal source for PrPC assay. When PrPC existed, Ab2-PBA-AuNPs could be introduced to the surface...
A paper-based SERS test strip combining strengths of paper chip and Raman active substrate was demonstrated to overcome challenges in spectroscopic sensing of complicated samples and realize quantitative detection of disease markers in whole blood. The precisely controlled Au NPs were not only capable of generating condensed hot spots on the fibers, but also enhanced the size exclusion effect of paper,...
The indophenol blue (IPB) method based on Berthelot's reaction is one of the most widely used methods for the determination of ammonium in natural waters. This study comprehensively optimized the kinetics of the IPB reaction under different reagent concentrations, temperature and salinity. The normally used toxic and odorous phenol was replaced by the less toxic, stable flaky crystalline compound,...
Novel amperometric bi-enzyme biosensor based on tyrosinase (Tyr)-catalyzed L-tyrosine polymerization to effectively immobilize Tyr and glucose oxidase (GOx) simultaneously has been developed and is demonstrated to be efficient in monitoring multi-analyte (bisphenol A (BPA), phenol, Cr(III), glucose, and Cr(VI)). For the first time, the polymer from L-tyrosine oxidation (PLT) was utilized to in-situ...
Based on 2-aminopurine (2-AP) probe in conjunction with a G-quadruplex structure and signal amplification technique, a simple and highly sensitive fluorescence sensor for detecting microRNA (miRNA) is developed for high signal-to-background ratio and wide linear range. The proposed sensor contains two hairpins DNA: H1 and H2. H1 is labeled by 2-AP incorporated into a G-rich sequence. Upon the addition...
A simple yet powerful polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-free strategy for visualized assay of human telomerase activity was reported in this work. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) based colorimetric strategy was applied with well-designed enzyme-aided cyclic amplification. Briefly, the detection relies on the elongated primers of telomerase substrate (TS) induced by telomerase, which open the hairpin DNA...
In this work, a novel rotational microfluidic paper-based device was developed to improve the accuracy and performance of the multiplexed colorimetric detection by effectively avoiding the diffusion of colorimetric reagent on the detection zone. The integrated paper-based rotational valves were used to control the connection or disconnection between detection zones and fluid channels. Based on the...
In most aptamer based stimulus response mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) systems, the aptamer is modified on the MSN via electrostatic interaction, however leakage might exist after a certain time in the system and hence the stability is not good. In this study, the pores of MSN were capped by aptamer through click chemistry reaction for the first time and the system was then employed to develop...
Identification of human plasma proteins with deep coverage is considered as a great challenge due to its extreme complexity. In this work, an intact proteins fractionation strategy based on multi-interaction between proteins and GO/PEI/Au/PEG nanocomposites (GPAP strategy) was developed for human plasma proteome deep analysis. Compared with untreated method, the number of identified proteins was increased...
Benzoic acid (BA) is widely used as an antimicrobial preservative in carbonated beverages. In this study, silica gel thin-film microextraction (TFME) coupled to surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was applied for the rapid detection of BA in carbonated beverages. The TFME process was performed by placing small pieces of silica gel substrate in a simple homemade device, and then the content of...
A reliable and effective HPLC analytical method has been developed to stereoselectively quantify metconazole in soil and flour matrices. Effects of polysaccharide chiral stationary phase, type and content of alcoholic modifier on separation of racemic metconazole have been discussed in detail. Resolution and quantitative determination of metconazole stereoisomers were performed by using an Enantiopak...
Previous studies have confirmed that cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) serves as a powerful biomarker in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Herein, we report for the first time a label-free electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive and selective detection of tumor marker CYFRA21-1. In this work, three-dimensional graphene @ gold nanoparticles (3D-G@Au) nanocomposite was modified...
Human telomerase is an endogenous ribonucleoprotein that is over-expressed in most types of malignant cancer cells. Sensitive and specific detection of telomerase activity is crucial for better understanding its role in cancer cells and further exploring its function in cancer diagnosis. Here, we develop convertible DNA ends-based silver nanoprobes for sensitive and specific colorimetric detection...
Determination of phosphate ion (PO43-) is important in biomedical and environmental arrays because its controlling concentrations are associated with different pathologies or the quality of water. Herein, we report a new type of photoluminescence (PL) probe for highly selective detection of PO43- based on a single-layered graphene quantum dots chelating with aluminium ions (s-GQDs-Al3+) system.

Hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) are currently receiving great attention due to their unique characteristics and potential uses in diverse areas. However, the field of HCPs for open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC) separations has not been explored. Here, a knitted aromatic polymer (KAP) was in-situ grown on the inner wall of the capillary column for OT-CEC for the first time. The...
Immunochromatographic strips (ICSs) are inexpensive, simple, portable, and robust, and therefore have many uses in the medicinal, agricultural, and environmental industries. For detection of small molecules, current ICSs are competitive format (competitive ICSs, CICSs), which only offer a turn-off readout mode, and therefore lead to low sensitivity when evaluating results by the naked eye. To overcome...
