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...
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...
In this work, a sensitive bisphenol A (BPA) electrochemical sensor was assembled using a surfactant-free AuPd nanoparticles-loaded graphene nanosheets (AuPdNPs/GNs) modified electrode. The AuPdNPs monodispersed on GNs were successfully prepared by the spontaneous redox reaction between bimetallic precursors and GNs. Because no surfactant or halide ions were involved in the proposed synthesis, the...
Untargeted metabolomic profiling has been widely used in recent years. However, the low reproducibility of the data-dependent acquisition (DDA) strategy presents a major bottleneck that considerably limits the reliability of metabolomic studies in biological and clinical research. The data-independent acquisition (DIA) strategy is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problem, and it is gaining popularity...
In this work, we describe a new label-free, sensitive and highly selective strategy for the electrochemiluminescent (ECL) detection of ATP at the picomolar level via ATP-induced ligation. The molecular-beacon like DNA probes (P12 complex) are self-assembled on a gold electrode. The presence of ATP leads to the ligation of P12 complex which blocks the digestion by Exonuclease III (Exo III). The protected...
In this work, a sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for the determination of melamine (MEL) was developed based on a Ru(bpy)32+-doped silica nanoparticles (RUDS)/carboxylic acid functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CMWCNTs)/Nafion composite film modified electrode. The homogeneous spherical RUDS were synthesized by a reverse microemulsion method. As Ru(bpy)32+ were encapsulated...
A facile one-pot approach has been developed to prepare orange-emitting Cu nanoclusters (NCs) using tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride as a reducing agent and lipoic acid as a capping agent under an alkaline medium at room temperature. The as-prepared Cu NCs exhibited excellent water solubility, large Stokes shift, long lifetime and good dispersion. After the addition of polyvinyl pyrrolidone,...
In this study, a facile hydrothermal method was developed to synthesize Pt-on-Pd supported on reduced graphene oxide (Pt-on-Pd/RGO) hybrids. Because of the synergistic effect between Pt-on-Pd and RGO, the obtained Pt-on-Pd/RGO had superior peroxidase-mimic activities in H2O2 reduction and TMB oxidation. The reaction medium was optimized and a sensing approach for H2O2 was developed with a linear range...
We provide a highly sensitive and selective colorimetric assay to detect mercury ions (Hg2+) in aqueous environment using thiocyanuric acid (TCA) molecule-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). This method is based on the thiophilicity of Hg2+ and AuNPs as well as the unique optical properties of TCA-functionalized AuNPs. In the presence of TCA, AuNPs aggregate due to the strong attraction between...
A novel method for the determination of tetracyclines (TCs) using electrochemiluminescence (ECL) based on a Ru(bpy) 32+ -doped silica nanoparticles (RuSiNPs)/Nafion film modified electrode is presented in this paper. The RuSiNPs were prepared by a water-in-oil microemulsion method. The characterization results indicated that the thus-prepared RuSiNPs presented a uniform size of 45nm and...
A cross-reactive sensor array using mercaptopropionic acid modified cadmium telluride (CdTe), glutathione modified CdTe, poly(methacrylic acid) modified silver nanoclusters, bovine serum albumin modified gold nanoclusters, rhodamine derivative and calcein blue as fluorescent indicators has been designed for the detection of seven heavy metal ions (Ag + , Hg 2+ , Pb 2+ , Cu...
A simple and rapid fluorescence method has been developed for the determination of acrylamide in heat-processed food samples. In the determination, acrylamide is degraded through Hofmann reaction to generate vinyl amine, and pyrrolinone is produced when the vinyl amine reacts with fluorescamine, resulting in a strong fluorescence emission at 480nm. Hofmann reaction is a key step for the fluorescence...
Oxidation has important effects on the quality of edible oils. In particular, the generation of aldehydes produced by the oxidation of oils is one of the deteriorative factors to their quality. The aim of this study was to develop a method to determine the aldehydes as lipid oxidation markers in edible oils. Seven aldehydes generated from lipid oxidation were studied using headspace solid-phase microextraction...
A new method for determination of iron(III) has been developed using a kind of rhodamine B derivative fluorescent probe, rhodamine amide (RHA), in acidic HAc–NaAc buffer solution. In this approach, the heavy atom effect of I 3− was applied to quench the fluorescence of RHA. When iron(III) and KI coexisted in HAc–NaAc buffer solution, iron(III) reacted with the excess KI to produce I ...
A non-enzymatic electrochemical method was developed for glucose detection using a glassy carbon electrode modified with platinum nanoflowers supported on graphene oxide (PtNFs-GO). PtNFs-GO was synthesized using a nontoxic, rapid, one-pot and template-free method. Low-cost, green solvent ethanol acted as the reductant, and the advanced and effective 2D carbon material-GO nanosheet acted as the stabilizing...
In this study, an electrochemical impedance biosensor for cyanobacterial toxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR) detection has been developed. MC-LR aptamers were immobilized on the gold electrode through Au–S interaction, in the presence of target (MC-LR); the binding of MC-LR and aptamers probe led to a complex formation change on the electrode surface and resulted in the impedance decreasing. The decrease...
Chitosan, a cationic polysaccharide containing amino and hydroxyl groups, was used to fabricate an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor. In the sensor construction, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was first coated by a chitosan film which embedded gold nanoparticles, and then the film was modified by introducing carboxyl groups on the surface, which were used to immobilize tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)...
A novel solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber coated with multiwalled carbon nanotubes/polypyrrole (MWCNTs/Ppy) was prepared with an electrochemical method and used for the extraction of pyrethroids in natural water samples. The results showed that the MWCNTs/Ppy coated fiber had high organic stability, and remarkable acid and alkali resistance. In addition, the MWCNTs/Ppy coated fiber was more...
Ellagic acid (EA) reacted with Gemini zwitterionic surfactant, phosphodiesters quaternary ammonium salt (PQAS), and formed fine particles which produced strong enhancement in intensity of resonance light scattering (RLS). The effects of several factors on the RLS signal, such as pH, ionic strength, PQAS concentration and so on, were optimized. The relationship between enhanced RLS intensity and EA...
Novel ratiometric fluorescent silica nanoparticles with high selectivity towards Hg 2+ were synthesized for the detection of Hg 2+ . Hg 2+ promoted the ring opening of spirolactam in the rhodamine moiety grafted onto the silica nanoparticles, resulting in a change in the fluorescence intensity. The fluorescence intensity was proportional to the Hg 2+ concentration,...
