Abstract
Sensitive magnetometer technology is desirable for biomagnetic field detection and geomagnetic field measuring. Signal amplification materials such as magneto-optical crystals or ceramics are crucial for enhancing detection sensitivity, but severe optical scattering and low Verdet constant further limit its application. To develop high-sensitivity magnetometers for quantum weak measurement schemes, we have conducted investigations on the powder calcining dynamics and prepared a series of high-optical-quality (Ho/Dy)2Zr2O7 transparent ceramic samples. The Verdet constant of magneto-optical materials was measured across a continuous wavelength spectrum, exhibiting a peak at 283 ± 5 rad/(T·m). We further established an electron transition mechanism to elucidate the exceptional magneto-optical attributes of dysprosium. In addition, samples demonstrated superior performance in weak-value amplification, reaching a low detectable magnetic field threshold of 3.5 × 10-8 T and continuously worked over 6 h with high stability. Our work developed a highly sensitive magnetometer using optimized magneto-optical ceramics and provided guidance on design, fabrication, and application for magneto-optical ceramics in quantum weak measurement.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is an important infectious factor in the food industry and hospital infections. Many methods are used for detecting bacteria but they are mostly time-consuming, poorly sensitive. In this study, a nano-biosensor based on iron nanoparticles (MNPs) was designed to detect S. aureus. MNPs were synthesized and conjugated to Biosensors. Then S. aureus was lysed and nano-biosensor (MNP-TiO2-AP-SMCC-Biosensors) was added to the lysed bacteria. After bonding the bacterial genome to the nano-biosensor, MNPs were separated by a magnet. Bacterial DNA was released from the surface of nano-biosensor and researched by Nano-drop spectrophotometry. The results of SEM and DLS revealed that the size of MNPs was 20-25 nm which increased to 38-43 nm after modification and addition of biosensors. The designed nano-biosensor was highly sensitive and specific for the detection of S. aureus. The limit of detection (LOD) was determined as 230 CFU mL-1. There was an acceptable linear correlation between bacterial concentration and absorption at 3.7 × 102-3.7× 107 whose linear diagram and regression was Y = 0.242X + 2.08 and R2 = .996. Further, in the presence of other bacteria as a negative control, it was absolutely specific. The sensitivity of the designed nano-biosensor was investigated and compared through PCR.

Abstract
An Immuno-Nano-Biosensor with high sensitivity was designed based on iron and silica nanoparticles to detect B. abortus. Briefly explain, primary polyclonal antibody (IgG1) was conjugated on surface magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to form MNP-IgG1. Secondary polyclonal antibody (IgG2) and Horseradish Peroxidase enzyme were conjugated on silica nanoparticles (SNPs) to form HRP-SNP-IgG2. HRP-SNP-IgG2. MNP-IgG1 and HRP-SNP-IgG2 were added to B. abortus. The MNP-IgG1-B.abortus-IgG2-SNP-HRP complex was isolated from the reaction mixture using a magnet. After that, tetramethylbenzidine was added to the complex. The reaction was stopped with HCl and investigated using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The nanoparticles' structure and size were investigated using SEM and DLS. Immuno-Nano-Biosensor sensitivity and specificity were determined. The SEM and DLS results indicated that the SNPs, MNPs, HRP-SNP-IgG2 and MNP-IgG1 size and structure were 35, 44, 60 and 56 nm, respectively. In addition, a good linear correlation was observed at 102-107 CFU mL-1 concentrations, which their linear equation and regression were Y = 0.3× + 0.18 and R2 0.982, respectively. The limitation of detecting B. abortus was 160 CFU mL-1. Finally, the results demonstrated that those designed Immuno-Nano-Biosensor could be specifically detected B. abortus and B. melitensis in real samples.

Abstract
Detection and quantification of a variety of micro- and nanoscale entities, e.g. molecules, cells, and particles, are crucial components of modern biomedical research, in which biosensing platform technologies play a vital role. Confronted with the drastic global demographic changes, future biomedical research entails continuous development of new-generation biosensing platforms targeting even lower costs, more compactness, and higher throughput, sensitivity and selectivity. Among a wide choice of fundamental biosensing principles, magnetic sensing technologies enabled by magnetic field sensors and magnetic particles offer attractive advantages. The key features of a magnetic sensing format include the use of commercially available magnetic field sensing elements, e.g. magnetoresistive sensors which bear huge potential for compact integration, a magnetic field sensing mechanism which is free from interference by complex biomedical samples, and an additional degree of freedom for the on-chip handling of biochemical species rendered by magnetic labels. In this review, we highlight the historical basis, routes, recent advances and applications of magnetic biosensing platform technologies based on magnetoresistive sensors.

Abstract
Homogeneous simple assays utilizing luminescence quenching and time-resolved luminescence resonance energy transfer (TR-LRET) were developed for the quantification of nucleic acids without sequence information. Nucleic acids prevent the adsorption of a protein to europium nanoparticles which is detected as a luminescence quenching of europium nanoparticles with a soluble quencher or as a decrease of TR-LRET from europium nanoparticles to the acceptor dye. Contrary to the existing methods based on fluorescent dye binding to nucleic acids, equal sensitivities for both single- (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) were measured and a detection limit of 60 pg was calculated for the quenching assay. The average coefficient of variation was 5% for the quenching assay and 8% for the TR-LRET assay. The TR-LRET assay was also combined with a nucleic acid dye selective to dsDNA in a single tube assay to measure the total concentration of DNA and the ratio of ssDNA and dsDNA in the mixture. To our knowledge, such a multiplexed assay is not accomplished with commercially available assays.

Abstract
In a recent publication, we presented a label-free method for the detection of specific DNA sequences through the hybridization-induced aggregation (HIA) of a pair of oligonucleotide-adducted magnetic particles. Here we show, through the use of modified hardware, that we are able to simultaneously analyze multiple (4) samples, and detect a 26-mer ssDNA sequence at femtomolar concentrations in minutes. As such, this work represents an improvement in throughput and a 100-fold improvement in sensitivity, compared to that reported previously. Here, we also investigate the design parameters of the target sequence, in an effort to maximize the sensitivity of HIA and to use as a guide in future applications of this work. Modifications were made to the original 26-mer oligonucleotide sequence to evaluate the effects of: (1) non-complementary flanking bases, (2) target sequence length, and (3) single base mismatches on aggregation response. The aggregation response decreased as the number of the non-complementary flanking bases increased, with only a five base addition lowering the LOD by four orders of magnitude. Low sensitivity was observed with short sequences of 6 and 10 complementary bases, which were only detectable at micromolar concentrations. Target sequences with 20, 26 or 32 complementary bases provided the greatest sensitivity and were detectable at femtomolar concentrations. Additionally, HIA could effectively differentiate sequences that were fully complementary from those containing 1, 2 or 3 single base mismatches at micromolar concentrations. The robustness of the HIA system to other buffer components was explored with nine potential assay interferents that could affect hybridization (aggregation) or falsely induce aggregation. Of these, purified BSA and lysed whole blood induced a false aggregation. None of the interferents inhibited aggregation when the hybridizing target was added. Having delineated the fundamental parameters affecting HIA-target hybridization, and demonstrating that HIA had the selectivity to detect single base mismatches, this fluor-free end-point detection has the potential to become a powerful tool for microfluidic DNA detection.

A novel ultrasensitive ECL sensor for DNA detection based on nicking endonuclease-assisted target recycling amplification, rolling circle amplification and hemin/G-quadruplex. SENSORS 2015; 15:2629-43.

Abstract
In this study, we describe a novel universal and highly sensitive strategy for the electrochemiluminescent (ECL) detection of sequence specific DNA at the aM level based on Nt.BbvCI (a nicking endonuclease)-assisted target recycling amplification (TRA), rolling circle amplification (RCA) and hemin/G-quadruplex. The target DNAs can hybridize with self-assembled capture probes and assistant probes to form “Y” junction structures on the electrode surface, thus triggering the execution of a TRA reaction with the aid of Nt.BbvCI. Then, the RCA reaction and the addition of hemin result in the production of numerous hemin/G-quadruplex, which consume the dissolved oxygen in the detection buffer and result in a significant ECL quenching effect toward the O2/S2O82− system. The proposed strategy combines the amplification ability of TRA, RCA and the inherent high sensitivity of the ECL technique, thus enabling low aM (3.8 aM) detection for sequence-specific DNA and a wide linear range from 10.0 aM to 1.0 pM. At the same time, this novel strategy shows high selectivity against single-base mismatch sequences, which makes our novel universal and highly sensitive method a powerful addition to specific DNA sequence detection.

Abstract
In this article, a technique for accurate direct measurement of protein-to-protein interactions before and after the introduction of a drug candidate is developed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The method is applied to known immunosuppressant drug candidate Echinacea purpurea derived cynarin. T-cell/CD28 is on-chip immobilized and B-cell/CD80 is immobilized on an AFM tip. The difference in unbinding force between these two proteins before and after the introduction of cynarin is measured. The method is described in detail including determination of the loading rates, maximum probability of bindings, and average unbinding forces. At an AFM loading rate of 1.44 × 10(4) pN/s, binding events were largely reduced from 61 ± 5% to 47 ± 6% after cynarin introduction. Similarly, maximum probability of bindings reduced from 70% to 35% with a blocking effect of about 35% for a fixed contact time of 0.5 s or greater. Furthermore, average unbinding forces were reduced from 61.4 to 38.9 pN with a blocking effect of ≈ 37% as compared with ≈ 9% by SPR. AFM, which can provide accurate quantitative measures, is shown to be a good method for drug screening. The method could be applied to a wider variety of drug candidates with advances in bio-chip technology and a more comprehensive AFM database of protein-to-protein interactions.
