Abstract
Eating food contaminated by foodborne pathogens can lead to illness. The development of electrochemical sensors for pathogen detection has received widespread attention. However, the analytical performance of electrochemical sensors is inevitably affected by the non-specific adsorption of molecules in the sample. Moreover, the external signal probes might be affected by the complex components in the sample accompanied with signal suppression. This work presents an electrochemical aptasensor for Salmonella typhimurium detection based on the self-signal of poly-xanthurenic acid and the antifouling ability of chondroitin sulfate. The detection time was 60 min. The linear range was from 101 to 107 CFU/mL, and the detection limit was 3 CFU/mL. The biosensors presented good repeatability and storage stability. And the biosensors has been successfully applied in milk and orange juice. This strategy is expected to be applied in the design of other antifouling biosensors, to achieve rapid detection of pathogens and ensure food safety.

Abstract
Advances in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection have helped to overcome the limitations of traditional in vitro diagnostic methods, such as fluorescence and chemiluminescence, owing to its high sensitivity and multiplex detection capability. However, for the implementation of SERS detection technology in disease diagnosis, a SERS-based assay platform capable of analyzing clinical samples is essential. Moreover, infectious diseases like COVID-19 require the development of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic technologies that can rapidly and accurately determine infection status. As an effective assay platform, SERS-based bioassays utilize SERS nanotags labeled with protein or DNA receptors on Au or Ag nanoparticles, serving as highly sensitive optical probes. Additionally, a microdevice is necessary as an interface between the target biomolecules and SERS nanotags. This review aims to introduce various microdevices developed for SERS detection, available for POC diagnostics, including LFA strips, microfluidic chips, and microarray chips. Furthermore, the article presents research findings reported in the last 20 years for the SERS-based bioassay of various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases. Finally, the prospects of SERS bioassays are discussed concerning the integration of SERS-based microdevices and portable Raman readers into POC systems, along with the utilization of artificial intelligence technology.

Abstract
Patulin (PAT) commonly contaminates fruits, posing a significant risk to human health. Therefore, a highly effective and sensitive approach in identifying PAT is warranted. Herein, a SERS aptasensor was constructed based on a two-dimensional film-like structure. GO@Au nanosheets modified with SH-cDNA were employed as capture probes, while core-shell Au@Ag nanoparticles modified with 4-MBA and SH-Apt were utilized as signal probes. Through the interaction between capture probes and signal probes, adjustable hotspots were formed, yielding a significant Raman signal. During sensing, the GO@Au-cDNA competitively attached to Au@AgNPs@MBA-Apt, resulting in an inverse relationship between PAT levels and SERS intensity. The acquired results exhibited linear responses to PAT within the range of 1-70 ng/mL, with a calculated limit of detection of 0.46 ng/mL. In addition, the SERS aptasensor exhibited satisfactory recoveries in apple samples, which aligned closely with HPLC. With high sensitivity and specificity, this method holds significant potential for PAT detection.

Abstract
Cow's milk, an excellent source of fat, protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, is currently one of the most consumed products worldwide. Contaminations originating from diverse sources, such as biological, chemical, and physical, cause dairy product quality problems and thus dairy-related disorders, raising public health issues. For this reason, legal authorities have deemed it necessary to classify certain contaminations in commercial milk and keep them within particular limitations; therefore, it is urgent to develop next-generation detection systems that can accurately identify just the contaminants of concern to human health. This review presents a detailed investigation of biosensors based on graphene and its derivatives, which offer superior sensitivity and selectivity, by classifying the contaminants under the headings biological, chemical, and physical, in cow's milk according to their sources. We reviewed the current status of graphene-based biosensor (GBs) technology for milk or dairy analysis, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses with the help of comparative studies, tables, and charts, and we put forward a novel perspective to handle future challenges.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have emerged as the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Herein, we developed a dual-channel fluorescence "turn-on" sensor array, comprising six electrostatic complexes formed from one negatively charged poly(para-aryleneethynylene) (PPE) and six positively charged aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophores. The 6-element array enabled the simultaneous identification of 20 bacteria (OD600=0.005) within 30s (99.0 % accuracy), demonstrating significant advantages over the array constituted by the 7 separate elements that constitute the complexes. Meanwhile, the array realized different mixing ratios and quantitative detection of prevalent bacteria associated with urinary tract infection (UTI). It also excelled in distinguishing six simulated bacteria samples in artificial urine. Remarkably, the limit of detection for E. coli and E. faecalis was notably low, at 0.000295 and 0.000329 (OD600), respectively. Finally, optimized by diverse machine learning algorithms, the designed array achieved 96.7 % accuracy in differentiating UTI clinical samples from healthy individuals using a random forest model, demonstrating the great potential for medical diagnostic applications.

Abstract
In this study, a background-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) chip with a sandwich configuration was fabricated to enable reliable detection and photothermal inactivation of multiple bacteria. The SERS chip consists of a graphene-coated, phenylboronic-modified plasmonic gold substrate (pAu/G/PBA), and two aptamer-functionalized core (gold)-shell (Prussian blue/Poly-L-lysine and 4-mercaptobenzonitrile/polydopamine) SERS tags (Au@PB@PLL@Apt and Au@MB@PDA@Apt). The detection signals rely on the characteristic and nonoverlapping Raman bands of the SERS tags within the Raman-silent region (1800-2800 cm-1), where no background signals from the sample matrix are observed, leading to improved detection sensitivity and accuracy. Considering the relatively large size of bacteria (e.g., micron level), a rapid Raman mapping technique was chosen over conventional point-scan methods to achieve more reliable quantitative analysis of bacteria. This technique involves collecting and analyzing intensity signals of SERS tags from all the scattering points with an average ensemble effect, which is facilitated by the use of Python. As a proof-of-concept, model bacterium of Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus were successfully detected using the SERS chip with a dynamic range of 10-107 CFU/mL. Additionally, the SERS chip demonstrated successful detection of these bacteria in whole blood samples. Moreover, the photothermal effect of pAu/G led to efficient bacteria elimination, achieving approximately 100% eradication. This study integrated a background-free SERS chip with a Python-assisted rapid Raman mapping technique, resulting in a reliable, rapid and accurate method for detecting and eliminating multiple bacteria, which may provide a promising alternative for multiple screening of bacteria in real samples.

Abstract
Human health is greatly threatened by bacterial infection, which raises the risk of serious illness and death in humans. For early screening and accurate treatment of bacterial infection, there is a strong desire to undertake ultrasensitive detection and effective killing of pathogenic bacteria. Herein, a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor based on sandwich structure consisting of capture probes/bacteria/SERS tags was established for specific identification, capture and photothermal killing of Escherichia coli (E. coli). Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique was used to simulate the electromagnetic field distribution of capture probes, SERS tags and sandwich-type SERS substrate, and a possible SERS enhancement mechanism based on sandwich structure was presented and discussed. Sandwich-type SERS biosensor successfully achieved distinctive identification and magnetic beneficiation of E. coli. In addition, a single SERS substrate, including capture probes and SERS tags, could also achieve outstanding photothermal effects as a consequence of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect. Intriguingly, sandwich-type SERS biosensor demonstrated a higher photothermal conversion efficiency (50.03 %) than the single substrate, which might be attributed to the formation of target bacterial clusters. The superior biocompatibility and the low toxicity of the sandwich-type biosensor were confirmed. Our approach offers a fresh method for constructing sandwich-type biosensor with multiple SERS hotspots based on extremely effective hybrid plasmonic nanoparticles, and has a wide range of potential applications in the recognition and treatment of bacteria.

Abstract
The co-contamination of pesticide residues and mycotoxins in agricultural products is a global concern, with the potential for cumulative and synergistic damaging effects, imposing substantial health and economic burdens to the public. The dosage-sensitive and simultaneous detection of multiple pollutants, with a heightened sensitivity in real samples, poses a significant demand and challenge. Herein, we propose a portable detection method integrating surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-with lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), offering high sensitivity and multiplex analysis capabilities. This approach enables the simultaneous detection of imidacloprid (IMI), pyraclostrobin (PYR) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) through a single test strip. Utilizing the immune-specific binding between antigen and antibodies, we immobilised antibody- conjugated SERS nanotags on three test lines of the strips to generate Raman signal amplification in the proposed biosensor. Accurate quantitative analysis was performed by measuring the SERS signal intensity on the test lines. The limits of detection were 8.6 pg/mL for IMI, 97.4 pg/mL for PYR and 8.9 pg/mL for AFB1, exhibiting sensitivities 12-fold, 102-fold and11-fold higher than the colorimetric signals, respectively. Importantly, the SERS-LFIA immunosensor demonstrated robust performance when applied to real samples, yielding recoveries ranging from 86.16 % to 115.0 %, with relative standard deviation values below 8.67 %. These results underscore the excellent stability, high selectivity and reliability the proposed SERS-LFIA immunosensor. Consequently, it holds promise for the detection of multiple pesticides and mycotoxins in both environmental and agricultural samples.

Abstract
Rapid and reliable detection of pathogenic bacteria is absolutely essential for research in environmental science, food quality, and medical diagnostics. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), as an emerging spectroscopic technique, has the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity, rapid detection speed, and portable operation, which has been broadly used in the detection of pathogenic bacteria in different kinds of complex samples. However, the SERS detection method is also challenging in dealing with the detection difficulties of bacterial samples in complex matrices, such as interference from complex matrices, confusion of similar bacteria, and complexity of data processing. Therefore, researchers have developed some technologies to assist in SERS detection of bacteria, including both the front-end process of obtaining bacterial sample data and the back-end data processing process. The review summarizes the key steps for improving bacterial SERS signals in complex samples: separation, recognition, detection, and analysis, highlighting the principles of each step and the key roles for SERS pathogenic bacteria analysis, and the interconnectivity between each step. In addition, the current challenges in the practical application of SERS technology and the development trends are discussed. The purpose of this review is to deepen researchers' understanding of the various stages of using SERS technology to detect bacteria in complex sample matrices, and help them find new breakthroughs in different stages to facilitate the detection and control of bacteria in complex samples.

Abstract
A lateral flow assay (LFA) strip based on dual 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB)-encoded satellite Fe3O4@Au (Mag@Au) SERS tags with nanogap is reported for ultrasensitive and simultaneous diagnosis of two SARS-CoV-2 functional proteins. Composed of Fe3O4 core, satellite gold shell with nanogaps, and double-layer DTNB, the Mag@Au nanoparticles with an average size of 238 nm were designed as multifunctional tags to efficiently enrich the target SARS-CoV-2 protein from complex samples, significantly enhancing the SERS signal of the LFA strip and provide quantitative SERS detection of analyte on test lines. The developed dual DTNB-encoded satellite Mag@Au-based LFA allowed simultaneous quantification of spike (S) protein and nucleocapsid (NP) protein with detection limits of 23 pg mL-1 and 2 pg mL-1, respectively, lower than commercial ELISA kits and reported SERS-LFA detection system-based Au NPs and Fe3O4@3 nm Au MNPs. This magnetic SERS-LFA also showed high performance of multi-variant strain detection and further distinguished clinical samples of Omicron variant infection, demonstrating the potential of in situ detection of respiratory virus diseases.

Ultrasensitive and selective detection of sulfamethazine in milk via a Janus-labeled Au nanoparticle-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering-immunochromatographic assay. Talanta 2024; 267:125208.

Abstract
Sulfamethazine (SM2) is an antibacterial drug,which has been extensively used in human and veterinary medicine, long-term consumption of which may lead to the accumulation of sulfonamides in the body. Detection of sulfonamides often uses microbiological approaches, mass spectrometry and chromatography, which are expensive and time-consuming. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based immunochromatographic assay (SERS-ICA) has been recently applied in the detection. Herein, a Janus-labeled Au nanoparticle with subnanosized SiO2-monoclonal antibody and SERS reporter (DTNB) modified simultaneously (mAbAuNpDTNB) has been developed in a SERS-based lateral flow immunosensor, which can be used for rapid, quantitative and ultrasensitive detection of sulfamethazine residue in milk. The mAbAuNpDTNB exhibits a specific array on a paper stripe, which not only identifies sulfamethazine but also straightforwardly exposes the Raman reporter between the AuNps via self-assembly. The detection sensitivity of SERS-ICA for sulfamethazine reached 0.1 pg/mL, which was far below the previously published value by ELISA and the maximum residue limit set by the European Union. The entire SERS-ICA detection for sulfamethazine was completed within 15 min. Furthermore, high accuracy for this assay was exhibited in the spiking experiment with a recovery percentage of 88.1%-112.7%. The results demonstrated that this SERS-ICA can potentially be applied in point-of-care testing as an ultrasensitive and quantitative to semi-quantitative analytical method.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogenic microorganisms are among the most harmful public health problems in the world, causing tens of millions of deaths and incalculable economic losses every year. The establishment of rapid, simple, and highly sensitive diagnostic methods for pathogenic microorganisms is important for the prevention and control of infectious diseases, guidance of timely treatment, and the reduction of public safety risks. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) based on the colorimetric signal of colloidal gold is the most popular point-of-care testing technology at present, but it is limited by poor sensitivity and low throughput and hardly meets the needs of the highly sensitive screening of pathogenic microorganisms. In recent years, the combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and LFA technology has developed into a novel analytical platform with high sensitivity and multiple detection capabilities and has shown great advantages in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and infectious diseases. This review summarizes the working principle, design ideas, and application of the existing SERS-based LFA methods in pathogenic microorganism detection and further introduces the effect of new technologies such as Raman signal encoding, magnetic enrichment, novel membrane nanotags, and integrated Raman reading equipment on the performance of SERS-LFA. Finally, the main challenges and the future direction of development in this field of SERS-LFA are discussed.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate identification of bacteria is of great importance to public health in various fields, including medical diagnostics, food safety, and environmental monitoring. However, most existing bacterial detection methods have very narrow detectable concentration ranges and limited detection information, which easily leads to wrong diagnosis and treatment. This work presents a novel high-throughput microfluidic electrical impedance-based multidimensional single-bacterium profiling system for ultrawide concentration range detection and accurate differentiation of viability and Gram types of bacteria. The electrical impedance-based microfluidic cytometry is capable of multi-frequency impedance quantification, which allows profiling of the bacteria size, concentration, and membrane impedance as an indicator of bacterial viability and Gram properties in a single flow-through interrogation. It has been demonstrated that this novel impedance cytometry has an ultrawide bacterial counting range (102-108 cells per mL), and exhibits a rapid and accurate discrimination of viability and Gram types of bacteria in a label-free manner. Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been used as an analog species for the accuracy assessment of the electrical impedance-based bacterial detection system in an authentic complex beverage matrix within 24 hours. The impedance-based quantifications of viable bacteria are consistent with those obtained by the classical bacterial colony counting method (R2 = 0.996). This work could pave the way for providing a novel microfluidic cytometry system for rapid and multidimensional bacterial detection in diverse areas.

Abstract
The sudden outbreak of monkeypox in 2022 suggests the importance of developing a rapid but sensitive virus detection technology. Herein, we report a colorimetric/surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-signal co-enhanced immunochromatographic assay (ICA) for the flexible, ultrasensitive, and accurate detection of monkeypox virus (MPXV) in various complex samples. A thickness-controlled polyethyleneimine interlayer (1 nm) is coated onto two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet to enable the electrostatic adsorption of two layers of dense 30 nm AuNPs, which not only improves colorimetric ability but also creates numerous efficient SERS hotspots. Moreover, the SERS activity of film-like dual-signal tag (MoS2@Au-Au) is drastically enhanced by combining the chemical enhancement effect of MoS2 sheets and the electromagnetic enhancement effect of Au-Au hotspots. The introduction of MoS2@Au-Au greatly broadens the application range of existing ICA methods, in which the colorimetric signal supports the quick identification of the target virus and the SERS signal allows the quantitative detection of MPXV with detection limits of as low as 0.2 and 0.002 ng/mL. Given its rapid detection ability (< 20 min), high accuracy in real samples (RSD < 9.89 %), and superior sensitivity than traditional AuNP-based colorimetric ICA (> 500 times), the proposed assay has great potential for field application.

Abstract
A point-of-care testing biosensor that supports direct, sensitive, and simultaneous identification of bacteria and virus is still lacking. In this study, an ultrasensitive immunochromatography assay (ICA) with colorimetric/fluorescence dual-signal output was proposed for flexible and accurate detection of respiratory virus and bacteria in complex samples. Colorimetric AuNPs of 16 nm and two layers of quantum dots (QDs) were coated onto the surface of monolayer graphene oxide (GO) layer by layer to form a multilayered dual-signal nanofilm. This material not only can generate strong colorimetric and fluorescence signals for ICA analysis but also can provide larger surface area, better stability, and superior dispersibility than conventional spherical nanomaterials. Two test lines were built onto the ICA strip to simultaneously detect common respiratory virus influenza A and respiratory bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. The dual-signal mode of assay greatly broadened the applied range of ICA method, in which the colorimetric mode allows for quick determination of virus/bacteria and the fluorescence mode ensures the highly sensitive and quantitative detection of target pathogens with detection limits down to 891 copies/mL and 17 cells/mL, respectively. The proposed dual-mode ICA can also be applied directly for real biological and environment samples, which suggests its great potential for field application.

Abstract
Foodborne illnesses caused by the ingestion of contaminated foods or beverages are a serious concern due to the millions of reported cases per year. It is essential to develop sensitive and rapid detection methods of foodborne pathogens to ensure food safety for producers and consumers. Unfortunately, current detection techniques still suffer from time-consuming operations and the need for highly skilled personnel. Here, we introduce a highly sensitive dual colorimetric/electrochemical detection approach for Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium (S. typhimurium) based on a laser-induced graphene-integrated lateral flow immunoassay (LIG-LFIA) strip. The LIG electrode was fabricated by laser engraving on a polyimide tape containing a pseudo silver/silver chloride reference electrode from silver sintering and chlorination. Using double-sided tape inserted into the strip, automatic sequential reagent delivery was enabled for the dual-mode signal readout by single-sample loading. A gold-deposited gold nanoparticle strategy was first employed to simultaneously obtain a colorimetric signal for early screening and a signal turn-on electrochemical response for high-sensitivity and -quantitative analysis. A superior performance of the strip was established, characterized by a short analysis time (12 min assay +15 min sample preparation), a broad working concentration range (1 cfu/10 mL to 108 cfu/mL), and the lowest limit of detection (1 ± 0.5 cfu/10 mL; mean ± standard deviation, n = 3) among reported multimode S. typhimurium detection schemes. The strip was successfully applied in the analysis of various food products without any bacterial enrichment or amplification required, and the results were comparable to those of the standard culture method.

Abstract
Food safety is a critical issue that is closely related to people's health and safety. As a simple, rapid, and sensitive detection technique, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology has significant potential for food safety detection. Recently, researchers have shown a growing interest in utilizing silent region molecules for SERS analysis. These molecules exhibit significant Raman scattering peaks in the cellular Raman silent region between 1800 and 2800 cm-1 avoiding overlapping with the SERS spectrum of biological matrices in the range 600-1800 cm-1, which could effectively circumvent matrix effects and improve the SERS accuracy. In this review, the application of silent region molecules-based SERS analytical technique for food safety detection is introduced, detection strategies including label-free detection and labeled detection are discussed, and recent applications of SERS analysis technology based on molecules containing alkyne and nitrile groups, as well as Prussian blue (PB) in the detection of pesticides, mycotoxins, metal ions, and foodborne pathogens are highlighted. This review aims to draw the attention to the silent region molecules-based SERS analytical technique and to provide theoretical support for its further applications in food safety detection.

Abstract
Fast and sensitive identification of foodborne bacteria in complex samples is the key to the prevention and control of microbial infections. Herein, an ultrasensitive lateral flow assay (LFIA) based on multilayered fluorescent nanofilm (GO/DQD)-guided signal amplification was developed for the rapid and quantitative determination of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhi). The film-like GO/DQD was prepared through the electrostatic mediated layer-by-layer assembly of numerous carboxylated CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) onto an ultrathin graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet, which possessed advantages including higher QD loading, larger surface areas, superior luminescence, and better stability, than traditional spherical nanomaterials. The antibody-modified GO/DQD can effectively attach onto a target bacterial cell to form a GO/DQD-bacteria immunocomplex containing almost ten thousand QDs, thus greatly improving the detection sensitivity of LFIA. The constructed GO/DQD-LFIA biosensor achieved the rapid and sensitive detection of S. typhi in 14 min with detection limits of as low as 9 cells/mL. Moreover, compared with traditional LFIA techniques for bacteria detection, the proposed assay exhibited excellent stability and accuracy in real food samples and enormously improved sensitivity (2-3 orders of magnitude), demonstrating its great potential in the field of rapid diagnosis.

Abstract
Sustainable and safe food is an important issue worldwide, and it depends on cost-effective analysis tools with good sensitivity and reality. However, traditional standard chemical methods of food safety detection, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and tandem mass spectrometry (MS), have the disadvantages of high cost and long testing time. Those disadvantages have prevented people from obtaining sufficient risk information to confirm the safety of their products. In addition, food safety testing, such as the bioassay method, often results in false positives or false negatives due to little rigor preprocessing of samples. So far, food safety analysis currently relies on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), HPLC, GC, UV-visible spectrophotometry, and MS, all of which require significant time to train qualified food safety testing laboratory operators. These factors have hindered the development of rapid food safety monitoring systems, especially in remote areas or areas with a relative lack of testing resources. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as one of the tools of choice for food safety testing that can overcome these dilemmas over the past decades. SERS offers advantages over chromatographic mass spectrometry analysis due to its portability, non-destructive nature, and lower cost implications. However, as it currently stands, Raman spectroscopy is a supplemental tool in chemical analysis, reinforcing and enhancing the completeness and coverage of the food safety analysis system. SERS combines portability with non-destructive and cheaper detection costs to gain an advantage over chromatographic mass spectrometry analysis. SERS has encountered many challenges in moving toward regulatory applications in food safety, such as quantitative accuracy, poor reproducibility, and instability of large molecule detection. As a result, the reality of SERS, as a screening tool for regulatory announcements worldwide, is still uncommon. In this review article, we have compiled the current designs and fabrications of SERS substrates for food safety detection to unify all the requirements and the opportunities to overcome these challenges. This review is expected to improve the interest in the sensing field of SERS and facilitate the SERS applications in food safety detection in the future.

Ultrasensitive and simultaneous monitoring of multiple small-molecule pollutants on an immunochromatographic strip with multilayered film-like fluorescent tags. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 878:162968. [PMID: 36958566 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
A wide variety of small-molecule pollutants is harmful to human health, and their highly sensitive universal and rapid detection in complex environments remains a challenge. Herein, a multiplexed and ultrasensitive immunochromatographic strip (ICS) was developed for the universal analysis of three kinds of different pollutants based on multilayered fluorescent nanofilm-guided signal amplification. Flexible three-dimensional nanofilms (GO-MQD) with large surface areas, high quantum dot (QD) loading, superior luminescence, and good stability were synthesized through the electrostatic adsorption-mediated layer-by-layer assembly of three layers of small QDs onto two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, modified with specific antibodies, and utilized as enhanced fluorescent tags in the ICS method for quantitative target detection. By combining the GO-MQD nanofilms and multiplexed ICS, the proposed assay can rapidly and sensitively detect aflatoxin B1, clenbuterol, and kanamycin in actual samples/environmental samples (pork extract, milk, river water, and lake water) with low detection limit (0.87, 2.04, and 0.81 pg/mL), fast testing time (15 min), good stability and high reproducibility (RSD < 8.71 %). The GO-MQD-ICS method developed here exhibits great potential to meet the demands of the on-site and practical detection of small-molecule pollutants.

Abstract
Simultaneous detection of mixed bacteria accurately and sensitively is a major challenge in microbial quality control field. In this study, we proposed a label-free SERS technique coupled with partial least squares regression (PLSR) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) for quantitative analysis of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium simultaneously. SERS-active and reproducible Raman spectra can be acquired directly upon the bacteria and Au@Ag@SiO2 nanoparticle composites on the surface of gold foil substrates. After applying different preprocessing models, SERS-PLSR and SERS-ANNs quantitative analysis models were developed to map SERS spectra of concentrations of the Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium, respectively. Both models achieved high prediction accuracy and low prediction error, while the performance of SERS-ANNs model in both quality of fit (R2 > 0.95) and accuracy of predictions (RMSE < 0.06) was superior to SERS-PLSR model. Therefore, it is feasible to develop simultaneous quantitative analysis of mixed pathogenic bacteria by proposed SERS methodology.

Abstract
We presented a colorimetric/fluorescent dual-mode immunochromatographic assay (ICA) for the sensitive detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7. The use of polydopamine (PDA)-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with broadband absorption allowed for excellent colorimetry signals for the ICA detection. Moreover, the absorption spectrum of PDA-AuNPs significantly overlaps with the excitation and emission spectra of ZnCdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), resulting in effective quenching of the QDs fluorescence due to the inner filter effect. The fluorescence intensity changes induced by PDA-AuNPs were utilized for the sensitive detection of E. coli O157:H7, achieving a detection limit of 9.06 × 101 CFU/mL, which was 46-fold lower than that of traditional AuNPs-based immunoassay. The proposed immunosensor exhibited the recovery rate between 80.12% and 114.69% in detecting actual samples, indicating its reliability and satisfactory accuracy. This study provides insights into dual-mode signal outputs and the ICA development for food safety applications.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial infection is one of the principal causes affecting human health and ecosystems. The accurate identification of bacteria in food and water samples is of significant interests to maintain safety and health for humans. Culture-based tests are practically tedious and may produce false-positive results, while viable but non-culturable microorganisms (NCMs) cannot be retrieved. Thus, it requires fast, reliable, and low-cost detection strategies for on-field analysis and point-of-care (POC) monitoring. The standard detection methods such as nucleic acid analysis (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are still challenging in POC practice due to their time-consuming (several hours to days) and expensive laboratory operations. The optical (surface plasmon resonance (SPR), fluorescence, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)) and electrochemical-based detection of microbes (early stage of infective diseases) have been considered as alternative routes in the emerging world of nanostructured biosensing since they can attain a faster and concurrent screening of several pathogens in real samples. Moreover, optical and electrochemical detection strategies are opening a new route for the ability of detecting pathogens through the integration of cellphones, which is well fitted for POC analysis. This review article covers the current state of sensitive mechanistic approaches for the screening and detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli) pathogens in food and water samples, which can be potentially applied in clinical and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Staphylococcal enterotoxin C (SEC) is an enterotoxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause intestinal diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a sensitive detection method for SEC to ensure food safety and prevent foodborne diseases in humans. A field-effect transistor (FET) based on high-purity carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was used as a transducer, and a nucleic acid aptamer with high affinity was used for recognition to capture the target. The results indicated that the biosensor achieved an ultra-low theoretical detection limit of 1.25 fg/mL in PBS, and its good specificity was verified by detecting target analogs. Three typical food homogenates were used as the solution to be measured to verify that the biosensor had a swift response time (within 5 min after sample addition). An additional study with a more significant basa fish sample response also showed excellent sensitivity (theoretical detection limit of 8.15 fg/mL) and a stable detection ratio. In summary, this CNT-FET biosensor enabled the label-free, ultra-sensitive, and fast detection of SEC in complex samples. The FET biosensors could be further used as a universal biosensor platform for the ultrasensitive detection of multiple biological toxic pollutants, thus considerably stopping the spread of harmful substances.

Abstract
Direct, convenient, and sensitive monitoring of the residues of multiple drugs in complex environments is important but remains a challenge. Here, we report a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based multiplexed lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) that supports the simultaneous and sensitive detection of commonly used drugs kanamycin, ractopamine, clenbuterol, and chloramphenicol in unprocessed complex samples through the dual signal amplification strategy of numerous efficient hotspots and magnetic enrichment. Multilayered magnetic-core dual-shell nanoparticles (MDAu@Ag) with controllable subtle nanogaps were fabricated via the polyethyleneimine-mediated layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of two layers of Au@Ag satellites onto superparamagnetic Fe3O4 cores and conjugated with specific antibodies as multifunctional tags in the LFA system for rapid capture, separation, and quantitative analysis. Two Raman reporters were embedded in internal nanogaps and modified on the surface of MDAu@Ag for the simultaneous and ultrasensitive detection of four targets on two test lines, which greatly simplified the fabrication and signal reading of SERS-LFA. The proposed assay can rapidly detect multiple drug residues in 35 min with detection limits down to pg/mL level. Moreover, the MDAu@Ag-based SERS-LFA demonstrated better stability, higher throughput, and superior sensitivity (at least 400 times) than traditional colloidal gold immunochromatography, showing its great potential in the field of point-of-care testing.

Abstract
The sensitive determination of food-borne pathogens from food products is essential to ensure food safety and to protect people's health. Herein, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor was manufactured based on defect-rich bimetallic cerium/indium oxide nanocrystals confined in mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon (denoted as In2O3/CeO2@mNC) for sensitively detecting Escherichia coli (E. coli) from real samples. A new cerium-based polymer-metal-organic framework [polyMOF(Ce)] was synthesized using polyether polymer containing 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid unit (L8) as ligand, trimesic acid as co-ligand, and cerium ions as coordination centers. After adsorbing trace indium ions (In3+), the gained polyMOF(Ce)/In3+ complex was calcined at high temperature under nitrogen atmosphere, resulting in the production of a series of defect-rich In2O3/CeO2@mNC hybrids. Benefitting from the advantages of high specific surface area, large pore size, and multiple functionality of polyMOF(Ce), In2O3/CeO2@mNC hybrids showed enhanced visible light absorption ability, separation performance of the photo-generated electrons and holes, promoted electron transfer, as well as the strong bioaffinity toward E. coli-targeted aptamer. Accordingly, the constructed PEC aptasensor illustrated an ultralow detection limit of 1.12 CFU mL-1, remarkably lower than most of the reported E. coli biosensors, along with high stability and selectivity, excellent reproducibility, and expected regeneration ability. The present work provides insight into the construction of a general PEC biosensing strategy based on MOF-based derivatives for the sensitive analysis of food-borne pathogens.

Abstract
In recent years, growing food safety and quality concerns have emerged and created an urgent need for the development of rapid and reliable food control technologies. This study proposes a novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate printing technology that utilizes commercial filter paper functionalized by silver nanoparticles. We modified the Automatic TLC Sampler using a two-dimensional (2D) printer. The modification allows for various sampling modes which can be applied to 2D printing. The shape and size of nano silver on the substrate were determined, and the substrate sensitivity, uniformity, and stability were evaluated. As demonstrated by the experimental outcomes, the proposed technology is highly sensitive and reproducible, that is, the limit of quantitation was 10-5 mg/kg, and the spot-to-spot and block-to-block Raman intensity variations were below 4.2%. We also successfully applied the technology to pears and apples for thiram recognition, yielding outstanding detectability down to 2.5 × 10-6 and 3.9 × 10-7 mg/mL (equal to 2.5 × 10-3 and 3.9 × 10-4 mg/kg), respectively. These were well below the maximum residue limit (7 mg/kg). More importantly, the linear relationships between thiram levels and the SERS intensity allow for sensitive monitoring of minute variations in agricultural insecticide residues. This proposed detection method can realize in situ detection with a strong signal fingerprint.

[PMID: 36958100 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/25/2023]
Abstract
In this study, highly sensitive flexible AuNPs@ polyimide SERS heating chips (APHC) were fabricated for in situ collecting and detecting TNT. Large-scale AuNPs arrays were synthesized by liquid-liquid interface self-assembly and transferred to polyimide heating film as SERS substrates. 4-ATP and AgNPs functionalized on APHC were used as capture means and signal amplifiers, combining with TNT to form the AuNPs-TNT-AgNPs "sandwich" structure. This flexible APHC chip showed high sensitivity as enhancement factor was 5.5×105, and good repeatability and stability (RSD<10%). It was applied to detect TNT solutions with a low concentration of 10-9 M, and showed a good linear response in the range from 10-5 to 10-9 M (R2 = 0.986). In addition, the detection method also had good selectivity and no response to various TNT analogs. More important, combing with the thermal enrichment strategy, TNT dispersed in environmental samples such as soil, fruit and clothing would be enriched as vapor then collected and detected by APHC. This APHC device shows great potential for in situ sensing platforms, due to its sensitivity, high efficiency, and excellent portability.

Abstract
Timely, accurate, and rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 is a key factor in controlling the spread of the epidemic and guiding treatments. Herein, a flexible and ultrasensitive immunochromatographic assay (ICA) was proposed based on a colorimetric/fluorescent dual-signal enhancement strategy. We first fabricated a highly stable dual-signal nanocomposite (SADQD) by continuously coating one layer of 20 nm AuNPs and two layers of quantum dots onto a 200 nm SiO2 nanosphere to provide strong colorimetric signals and enhanced fluorescence signals. Two kinds of SADQD with red and green fluorescence were conjugated with spike (S) antibody and nucleocapsid (N) antibody, respectively, and used as dual-fluorescence/colorimetric tags for the simultaneous detection of S and N proteins on one test line of ICA strip, which can not only greatly reduce the background interference and improve the detection accuracy but also achieve a higher colorimetric sensitivity. The detection limits of the method for target antigens via colorimetric and fluorescence modes were as low as 50 and 2.2 pg/mL, respectively, which were 5 and 113 times more sensitive than those from the standard AuNP-ICA strips, respectively. This biosensor will provide a more accurate and convenient way to diagnose COVID-19 in different application scenarios.

Abstract
Rapid control and prevention of diseases caused by foodborne pathogens is one of the existing food safety regulatory issues faced by various countries and has received wide attention from all sectors of society. The development of rapid and reliable detection methods for foodborne pathogens remains a hot research area for food safety and public health because of the limitations of complex steps, time-consuming, low sensitivity, or poor selectivity of commonly used methods. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), as a novel spectroscopic technique, has the advantages of high sensitivity, selectivity, rapid and nondestructive detection and has exhibited broad application prospects in the determination of pathogenic bacteria. In this study, the enhancement mechanisms of SERS are briefly introduced, then the characteristics and properties of liquid-phase, rigid solid-phase, and flexible solid-phase are categorized. Furthermore, a comprehensive review of the advances in label-free or label-based SERS strategies and SERS-compatible techniques for the detection of foodborne pathogens is provided, and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods are reviewed. Finally, the current challenges of SERS technology applied in practical applications are listed, and the possible development trends of SERS in the field of foodborne pathogens detection in the future are discussed.

Abstract
For survival and quality of human life, the search for better ways to ensure food safety is constant. However, food contaminants still threaten human health throughout the food chain. In particular, food systems are often polluted with multiple contaminants simultaneously, which can cause synergistic effects and greatly increase food toxicity. Therefore, the establishment of multiple food contaminant detection methods is significant in food safety control. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique has emerged as a potent candidate for the detection of multicomponents simultaneously. The current review focuses on the SERS-based strategies in multicomponent detection, including the combination of chromatography methods, chemometrics, and microfluidic engineering with the SERS technique. Furthermore, recent applications of SERS in the detection of multiple foodborne bacteria, pesticides, veterinary drugs, food adulterants, mycotoxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are summarized. Finally, challenges and future prospects for the SERS-based detection of multiple food contaminants are discussed to provide research orientation for further.

Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) is a prominent pathogen of bacterial pneumonia and its rapid and sensitive detection in complex biological samples remains a challenge. Here, we developed a simple but effective immunochromatographic assay (ICA) based on silica-Au core-satellite (SiO2@20Au) SERS tags to sensitively and quantitatively detect S. pneumoniae. The high-performance SiO2@20Au tags with superior stability and SERS activity were prepared by one-step electrostatic adsorption of dense 20 nm AuNPs onto 180 nm SiO2 core and introduced into the ICA method to ensure the high sensitivity and accuracy of the assay. The detection limit of the proposed SERS-ICA reached 46 cells/mL for S. pneumoniae and was 100-fold more sensitive than the traditional AuNPs-based colorimetric ICA method. Further, considering its good stability, specificity, reproducibility, and easy operation, the SiO2@20Au-SERS-ICA developed here has great potential to meet the demands of on-site and accurate detection of respiratory pathogens.

Abstract
The development of a multitarget ultrasensitive immunoassay is significant to fields such as medical research, clinical diagnosis, and food safety inspection. In this study, an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted programmable-particle-decoding technique (APT)-based digital immunoassay system was developed to perform multitarget ultrasensitive detection. Multitarget was encoded by programmable polystyrene (PS) microspheres with different characteristics (particle size and number), and subsequent visible signals were recorded under an optical microscope after the immune reaction. The resultant images were further analyzed using a customized, AI-based computer vision technique to decode the intrinsic properties of polystyrene microspheres and to reveal the types and concentrations of targets. Our strategy has successfully detected multiple inflammatory markers in clinical serum and antibiotics with a broad detection range from pg/mL to μg/mL without extra signal amplification and conversion. An AI-based digital immunoassay system exhibits great potential to be used for the next generation of multitarget detection in disease screening for candidate patients.

Abstract
Point-of-care testing methods for the rapid and sensitive screening of pathogenic bacteria are urgently needed because of the high number of outbreaks of microbial infections and foodborne diseases. In this study, we developed a highly sensitive and multiplex lateral flow assay (LFA) for the simultaneous detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhimurium in complex samples by using wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-modified magnetic quantum dots (Mag@QDs) as a universal detection nanoprobe. The Mag@QDs-WGA tag with a 200 nm Fe3O4 core and multiple QD-formed shell was introduced into the LFA biosensor for the universal capture of the two target bacteria and provided the dual amplification effect of fluorescence enhancement and magnetic enrichment for ultra-sensitivity detection. Meanwhile, two antibacterial antibodies were separately sprayed onto the two test lines of the LFA strip to ensure the specific identification of P. aeruginosa and S. typhimurium through one test. The proposed LFA exhibited excellent analytical performance, including high capture rate (>80%) to the target pathogens, low detection limit (<30 cells/mL), short testing time (<35 min), and good reproducibility (relative standard deviation < 10.4%). Given these merits, the Mag@QDs-WGA-based LFA has a great potential for the on-site and real-time diagnosis of bacterial samples.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) biosensor that allows the sensitive and accurate identification of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and other common respiratory viruses remains highly desired in the face of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Here, we propose a multiplex LFA method for the on-site, rapid, and highly sensitive screening of multiple respiratory viruses, using a multilayered film-like fluorescent tag as the performance enhancement and signal amplification tool. This film-like three-dimensional (3D) tag was prepared through the layer-by-layer assembly of highly photostable CdSe@ZnS-COOH quantum dots (QDs) onto the surfaces of monolayer graphene oxide nanosheets, which can provide larger reaction interfaces and specific active surface areas, higher QD loads, and better luminescence and dispersibility than traditional spherical fluorescent microspheres for LFA applications. The constructed fluorescent LFA biosensor can simultaneously and sensitively quantify SARS-CoV-2, influenza A virus, and human adenovirus with low detection limits (8 pg/mL, 488 copies/mL, and 471 copies/mL), short assay time (15 min), good reproducibility, and high accuracy. Moreover, our proposed assay has great potential for the early diagnosis of respiratory virus infections given its robustness when validated in real saliva samples. ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL Supplementary material (Section S1 Experimental section, Section S2 Calculation of the maximum number of QDs on the GO@TQD nanofilm, Section S3 Optimization of the LFA method, and Figs. S1-S17 mentioned in the main text) is available in the online version of this article at 10.1007/s12274-022-5043-6.

Abstract
Direct and sensitive detection of multiple illegal additives in complex food samples is still a challenge in on-site detection. In this study, an ultrasensitive immunochromatographic assay (ICA) using magnetic Fe3O4@Au nanotags as a capture/detection difunctional tool was developed for the direct detection of β2-adrenoceptor agonists in real samples. The Fe3O4@Au tag is composed of a large magnetic core (~160 nm), a rough Au nanoshell, dense surface-modified Raman molecules, and antibodies, which cannot only effectively enrich targets from complex solutions to reduce the matrix effects of food samples and improve detection sensitivity, but also provide strong colorimetric/surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual signals for ICA testing. The dual readout signals of the proposed ICA can meet the detection requirements in different environments. Specifically, the colorimetric signal allows for rapid visual detection of the analyte, and the SERS signal is used for the sensitive and quantitative detection modes. The proposed dual-signal ICA can achieve the simultaneous determination of two illegal additives, namely, clenbuterol hydrochloride and ractopamine. The detection limits for the two targets via colorimetric and SERS signals were down to ng mL−1 and pg mL−1 levels, respectively. Moreover, the proposed assay has demonstrated high accuracy and stability in real food samples.

Abstract
Rapid, direct and sensitive detection of foodborne bacteria in complex samples is still challenging. Here, we reported a universal surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based lateral flow assay (LFA) for highly sensitive detection of foodborne bacteria in food and environmental samples using wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-modified Fe3O4@Au (Au@MNP-WGA) nanotags. The Au@MNP-WGA tag with numerous intraparticle hotspots was integrated into the LFA system for the first time, which can not only greatly improve the detection sensitivity through the dual amplification effect of magnetic enrichment and SERS enhancement but also achieve the broad-spectrum capture of multiple bacteria. In addition, monoclonal antibodies were separately immobilized onto the test line of different LFA strips to ensure the specific detection of different target pathogens. With this strategy, the proposed assay can achieve the universal and highly sensitive determination of three common foodborne bacteria, namely, Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni, and Staphylococcus aureus, with low detection limit (10 cells mL−1), short testing time (<35 min), and high reproducibility (RSD < 8.14%). Given its good stability and accuracy in complex samples, the Au@MNP-WGA-based SERS-LFA has great potential to be a powerful tool for the universal and on-site detection of different foodborne pathogens. A universal SERS-based lateral flow assay was proposed for highly sensitive detection of foodborne bacteria in food and environmental samples using wheat germ agglutinin-modified Fe3O4@Au nanotags.![]()
