Svigelj R, Dassi N, Gorassini A, Toniolo R. A smartphone aptasensor for fipronil detection in honey samples. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:397-405. [PMID: 37946035 PMCID: PMC10761377 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-05026-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
In this study, an electrochemical smartphone-based aptasensor for the determination of fipronil was developed by modifying a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Fipronil is a broad-spectrum insecticide that has been widely used in various applications such as agriculture, veterinary, and household pest control. Recently, its use has raised concerns over the potential impact on the environment and human health. The absence of effective methods for this purpose poses a significant obstacle. To tackle this problem, we have developed a cutting-edge aptamer-based portable sensor capable of rapidly and conveniently detecting fipronil in situ. Considering that the detection of small molecules, such as fipronil, can be a challenging task, a competitive replacement assay was set up based on the aptamer's preference for the free form of fipronil over the immobilized one on the electrode. The analytical performance provided by the sensor on standard solutions of a known fipronil content made it possible to estimate a limit of detection (LOD) equal to 1.07 μg kg-1 and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 3.21 μg kg-1. Selectivity tests were conducted using atrazine as a possible interferent. The use and performance of the developed portable aptasensor was assessed on honey samples, which were simultaneously analyzed using an HPLC-MS method. This aptasensor could be an affordable and effective tool for accurately quantifying fipronil not only in honey samples but also in other food products.

Competitive fluorescent immunosensor based on catalytic hairpin self-assembly for multiresidue detection of organophosphate pesticides in agricultural products. Food Chem 2023; 413:135607. [PMID: 36773354 PMCID: PMC10013200 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.135607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Simple and rapid multiresidue trace detection of organophosphate pesticides (OPs) is extremely important for various reasons, including food safety, environmental monitoring, and national health. Here, a catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA)-based competitive fluorescent immunosensor was developed to detect OPs in agricultural products, involving enabled dual signal amplification followed by a CHA reaction. The developed method could detect 0.01-50 ng/mL triazophos, parathion, and chlorpyrifos, with limits of detection (LODs) of 0.012, 0.0057, and 0.0074 ng/mL, respectively. The spiked recoveries of samples measured using this assay ranged from 82.8 % to 110.6 %, with CV values ranging between 5.5 % and 18.5 %. This finding suggests that the CHA-based competitive fluorescent immunosensor is a reliable and accurate method for detecting OPs in agricultural products. The results correlated well with those obtained from the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, indicating that the CHA-based biosensor is able to accurately detect OPs and can be used as a reliable alternative to the LC-MS/MS method. Additionally, the CHA-based biosensor is simpler and faster than LC-MS/MS, which makes it a more practical and cost-effective option for the detection of OPs. In summary, the CHA-based competitive fluorescent immunosensor can be considered a promising approach for trace analysis and multiresidue determination of pesticides, which can open up new horizons in the fields of food safety, environmental monitoring, and national health.

Abstract
Screening for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in food is a complex and challenging process, as POPs can be present in very low levels and can be difficult to detect. Herein, we developed an ultrasensitive biosensor based on a rolling circle amplification (RCA) platform using a glucometer to determine POP. The biosensor was constructed using gold nanoparticle probes modified with antibodies and dozens of primers, magnetic microparticle probes conjugated with haptens, and targets. After competition, RCA reactions are triggered, numerous RCA products hybridize with the ssDNA-invertase, and the target is successfully transformed into glucose. Using ractopamine as a model analyte, this strategy obtained a linear detection range of 0.038-5.00 ng mL-1 and a detection limit of 0.0158 ng mL-1, which was preliminarily verified by screening in real samples. Compared with conventional immunoassays, this biosensor utilizes the high efficiency of RCA and the portable properties of a glucometer, which effectively improves the sensitivity and simplifies the procedures using magnetic separation technology. Moreover, it has been successfully applied to ractopamine determination in animal-derived foods, revealing its potential as a promising tool for POP screening.

Abstract
Ensuring food safety is paramount worldwide. Developing effective detection methods to ensure food safety can be challenging owing to trace hazards, long detection time, and resource-poor sites, in addition to the matrix effects of food. Personal glucose meter (PGM), a classic point-of-care testing device, possesses unique application advantages, demonstrating promise in food safety. Currently, many studies have used PGM-based biosensors and signal amplification technologies to achieve sensitive and specific detection of food hazards. Signal amplification technologies have the potential to greatly improve the analytical performance and integration of PGMs with biosensors, which is crucial for solving the challenges associated with the use of PGMs for food safety analysis. This review introduces the basic detection principle of a PGM-based sensing strategy, which consists of three key factors: target recognition, signal transduction, and signal output. Representative studies of existing PGM-based sensing strategies combined with various signal amplification technologies (nanomaterial-loaded multienzyme labeling, nucleic acid reaction, DNAzyme catalysis, responsive nanomaterial encapsulation, and others) in the field of food safety detection are reviewed. Future perspectives and potential opportunities and challenges associated with PGMs in the field of food safety are discussed. Despite the need for complex sample preparation and the lack of standardization in the field, using PGMs in combination with signal amplification technology shows promise as a rapid and cost-effective method for food safety hazard analysis.

Abstract
Balancing the risks and benefits of organophosphate pesticides (OPs) on human and environmental health relies partly on their accurate measurement. A highly sensitive fluorescence anti-quenching multi-residue bio-barcode immunoassay was developed to detect OPs (triazophos, parathion, and chlorpyrifos) in apples, turnips, cabbages, and rice. Gold nanoparticles were functionalized with monoclonal antibodies against the tested OPs. DNA oligonucleotides were complementarily hybridized with an RNA fluorescent label for signal amplification. The detection signals were generated by DNA-RNA hybridization and ribonuclease H dissociation of the fluorophore. The resulting fluorescence signal enables multiplexed quantification of triazophos, parathion, and chlorpyrifos residues over the concentration range of 0.01-25, 0.01-50, and 0.1-50 ng/mL with limits of detection of 0.014, 0.011, and 0.126 ng/mL, respectively. The mean recovery ranged between 80.3% and 110.8% with relative standard deviations of 7.3%-17.6%, which correlate well with results obtained by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The proposed bio-barcode immunoassay is stable, reproducible and reliable, and is able to detect low residual levels of multi-residue OPs in agricultural products.

Abstract
Novel methods that enable facile, ultrasensitive and multiplexed detection of low molecular weight organic compounds such as metabolites, drugs, additives, and organic pollutants are valuable in biomedical research, clinical diagnosis, food safety and environmental monitoring. Here, we demonstrate a simple, rapid, and ultrasensitive method for detection and quantification of small molecules by implementing a competitive immunoassay with an ultrabright fluorescent nanolabel, plasmonic fluor. Plasmonic-fluor is comprised of a polymer-coated gold nanorod and bovine serum albumin conjugated with molecular fluorophores and biotin. The synthesis steps and fluorescence emission of plasmonic-fluor was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and fluorescence microscopy. Plasmon-enhanced competitive assay can be completed within 20 min and exhibited more than 30-fold lower limit-of-detection for cortisol compared to conventional competitive ELISA. The plasmon-enhanced competitive immunoassay when implemented as partition-free digital assay enabled further improvement in sensitivity. Further, spatially multiplexed plasmon-enhanced competitive assay enabled the simultaneous detection of two analytes (cortisol and fluorescein). This simple, rapid, and ultrasensitive method can be broadly employed for multiplexed detection of various small molecules in research, in-field and clinical settings.

Abstract
A rapid detection method is introduced for residual trace levels of triazophos in water and agricultural products using an immunoassay based on catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA). The gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) surface was modified with triazophos antibody and sulfhydryl bio-barcode, and an immune competition reaction system was established between triazophos and its ovalbumin-hapten (OVA-hapten). The bio-barcode served as a catalyst to continuously induce the CHA reaction to achieve the dual signal amplification. The method does not rely on the participation of enzymes, and the addition of fluorescent materials in the last step avoids interfering factors, such as a fluorescence burst. The emitted fluorescence was detected at 489/521 nm excitation/emission wavelengths. The detection range of the developed method was 0.01-50 ng/mL for triazophos, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.0048 ng/mL. The developed method correlates well with the results obtained by LC-MS/MS, with satisfactory recovery and sensitivity. In sum, the designed method is reliable and provides a new approach to detect pesticide residues rapidly and quantitatively.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the fast transmission and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is currently considered a serious health problem, requiring an effective strategy to contain SARS-CoV-2 dissemination. For this purpose, epitopes of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) and sucleocapsid (N) proteins were identified by bioinformatics tools, and peptides that mimic these epitopes were chemically synthesized and then conjugated to superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPMNPs). Three peptides from S protein and three from N protein were used as antigens in a conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against serum samples from COVID-19-positive patients, or from healthy donors, collected before the pandemic. Three peptides were effective as antigens in conventional peptide-based ELISA, achieving 100% sensitivity and specificity, with high accuracy. The best-performing peptides, p2pS, p1pN, and p3pN, were associated with superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPMNPs) and were used to perform nanomagnetic peptide-based ELISA. The p2pS-SPMNP conjugate presented 100% sensitivity and specificity and excellent accuracy (area under the curve (AUC) = 1.0). However, p1pN and p3pN peptides, when conjugated to SPMNPs, did not preserve the capacity to differentiate positive sera from negative sera in all tested samples, yet both presented sensitivity and specificity above 80% and high accuracy, AUC > 0.9. We obtained three peptides as advantageous antigens for serodiagnosis. These peptides, especially p2pS, showed promising results in a nanomagnetic peptide-based ELISA and may be suitable as a precoated antigen for commercial purposes, which would accelerate the diagnosis process.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2021; 101:4490-4497. [PMID: 33448409 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.11089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2020] [Revised: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The ultrasensitive monitoring strategy of zearalenone (ZEN) is essential and desirable for food safety and human health. In the present study, a coupling of gold nanoparticles-DNA barcode and direct competitive immunoassay-based real-time polymerase chain reaction signal amplification (RT-IPCR) for ZEN close to the sensitivity of PCR-like levels is described and evaluated. RESULTS The RT-IPCR benefited from the use of a DNA barcode and RT-PCR detection strategy, thus resulting in ultrasensitive and simple detection for ZEN. Under the optimal RT-IPCR, the linear range of detection was from 0.5 to 1000 pg mL-1 and the limit of detection was 0.5 pg mL-1 , which was 400-fold lower than the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The detection procedure was simplified and the detection time was shortened. The specificity, accuracy and precision of the RT-IPCR confirmed a high performance. ZEN-positive contamination levels were from 0.056 to 152.12 ng g-1 by the RT-IPCR, which was demonstrated to be highly reliable by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. CONCLUSION The proposed RT-IPCR could be used as an alternative for detecting ZEN with satisfactory ultrasensitivity, simplicity, low cost and high-throughput. The present study could provide a strategy for the ultrasensitive detection of the small molecule with a simple and practical approach, which has significant appeal and application prospects.

Sensitive 'two-steps' competitive assay for gonadotropin-releasing hormone detection via SPR biosensing and polynorepinephrine-based molecularly imprinted polymer. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1161:338481.

Abstract
The work reports an innovative bioassay for the detection of gonadorelin in urine, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist widely used in fertility medicine and to treat hormonal dysfunctions. Gonadorelin is also a synthetic hormone listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and of interest in anti-doping controls. The main novelty relies on the development of a biocompatible, stable, and low-cost biomimetic receptor alternative to classic antibodies. Starting from norepinephrine monomer, a highly selective and sensitive molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was developed and optimized for optical real-time and label-free SPR biosensing. The selectivity has been addressed by testing a series of peptides, from high to low similarity, both in terms of molecular weight and primary sequence. Due to the very low molecular weight of gonadorelin (1182 Da), a 'two-steps' competitive assay was developed. Particular attention has been paid to the design of the competitor and its binding affinity constant towards the MIP, being a key step for the success of the competitive strategy. The SPR assay was first optimized in standard conditions and finally applied to untreated urine samples, achieving the sensitivity required by WADA guidelines. The MIP, tested in parallel with a monoclonal antibody, gave comparable results in terms of affinity constants and selectivity towards possible interfering analytes. However, the biomimetic receptor appears clearly superior in terms of sensitivity and reproducibility. This, together with its preparation simplicity, the extremely low-cost of the monomer and its reusability for hundreds of measurements, make polynorepinephrine-based MIPs powerful rivals to immune-based approaches in the near future for similar applications.

Abstract
Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are often used as insecticides and acaricides in agriculture, thus improving yields. OP residues may pose a serious threat, duetoinhibitionof the enzymeacetylcholinesterase(AChE). Therefore, a competitive bio-barcode immunoassay was designed for simultaneous quantification of organophosphate pesticide residues using AuNP signal amplification technology and Au@Pt catalysis. The AuNP probes were labelled with antibodies and corresponding bio-barcodes (ssDNAs), MNP probes coated with ovalbumin pesticide haptens and Au@Pt probes functionalized with the complementary ssDNAs were then prepared. Subsequently, pesticides competed with MNP probes to bind the AuNP probes. The recoveries of the developed assay were ranged from 71.26 to 117.47% with RSDs from 2.52 to 14.52%. The LODs were 9.88, 3.91, and 1.47 ng·kg-1, for parathion, triazophos, and chlorpyrifos, respectively. The assay was closely correlated with the data obtained from LC-MS/MS. Therefore, the developed method has the potential to be used as an alternative approach for detection of multiple pesticides.

Abstract
Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is an important hormone drug that is used to treat several medical conditions. It is also frequently abused by athletes as a performance enhancing agent at sporting events. The time window of the rHuEPO in blood is short. Therefore, the rapid detection of rHuEPO use/abuse at points of care and in sports requires a selective analytical method and a sensitive sensor. Herein, we present a highly selective method for the rapid detection of rHuEPO in human blood plasma by a sensitive optical sensor. rHuEPO is selectively extracted from human blood plasma by a target-specific extractor chip and converted into a biothiol by reducing its disulfide bond structure. The formed biothiol reacts with a water soluble (E)-1-((6-methoxybenzo[d]thiazole-2-yl)diazenyl)naphthalene-2,6-diolHg(ii) (BAN-Hg) optical sensor and causes its rapid decomposition. This leads to a rapid change in the sensor color from blue to pink that can be observed by the naked eye. The optical sensor was used to quantify rHuEPO in the concentration range 1 × 10-8 M to 1 × 10-12 M by UV-Vis spectroscopy. For the screening of blood plasma, an EPO-specific extractor chip was synthesized and used to selectively extract the protein from the biological matrix prior to its conversion into biothiol and quantification by the optical sensor. Since many proteins have a disulfide bond structure, the new method has strong potential for their rapid sensitive and selective detection by the BAN-Hg sensor and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

Abstract
Pesticides and veterinary drugs are generally employed to control pests and insects in crop and livestock farming. However, remaining residues are considered potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. Therefore, regular monitoring is required for assessing and legislation of pesticides and veterinary drugs. Various approaches to determining residues in various agricultural and animal food products have been reported. Most analytical methods involve sample extraction, purification (cleanup), and detection. Traditional sample preparation is time-consuming labor-intensive, expensive, and requires a large amount of toxic organic solvent, along with high probability for the decomposition of a compound before the analysis. Thus, modern sample preparation techniques, such as the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe method, have been widely accepted in the scientific community for its versatile application; however, it still requires a laboratory setup for the extraction and purification processes, which also involves the utilization of a toxic solvent. Therefore, it is crucial to elucidate recent technologies that are simple, portable, green, quick, and cost-effective for onsite and infield residue detections. Several technologies, such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, quantum dots, biosensing, and miniaturized gas chromatography, are now available. Further, several onsite techniques, such as ion mobility-mass spectrometry, are now being upgraded; some of them, although unable to analyze field sample directly, can analyze a large number of compounds within very short time (such as time-of-flight and Orbitrap mass spectrometry). Thus, to stay updated with scientific advances and analyze organic contaminants effectively and safely, it is necessary to study all of the state-of-art technology.

Abstract
Glyphosate (GLYP) was the most widely used broad-spectrum herbicide in the world. Herein, a gold nanoparticle (AuNP) probe dual-functionalized with anti-GLYP antibody and double-stranded oligonucleotides was synthesized. An AuNP-based bio-barcode immuno-PCR (AuNP-BB-iPCR) based on the probe was developed for sensitive detection of GLYP in food samples without high-cost and time-consuming experiments. GLYP detection was accomplished with a linear range from 61.1 pg g-1 to 31.3 ng g-1 and a detection limit of 4.5 pg g-1 which was 7 orders of magnitude lower than that of conventional ELISA (70 μg g-1) developed using the same antibody. The recoveries of GLYP from soybean, cole and maize samples were 99.8%, 102.6% and 103.7%, respectively, and all relative standard deviation values were below 12.9%. The assay time (including food samples preparation) of AuNP-BB-iPCR was 4 h. The proposed AuNP-BB-iPCR exhibits potential for sensitive detection of GLYP in foodstuffs and environment.

A visual bio-barcode immunoassay for sensitive detection of triazophos based on biochip silver staining signal amplification. Food Chem 2021; 347:129024. [PMID: 33461115 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.129024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2020] [Revised: 01/01/2021] [Accepted: 01/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Herein, a novel visual method for detecting triazophos based on competitive bio-barcode immunoassay was described. The competitive immunoassay was established by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), magnetic microparticle (MMPs) and triazophos, combined with biochip hybridization system to detect the residual of triazophos in water and apple. Because AuNPs carried many bio-barcodes, which hybridized with labeled DNA on the biochip, catalyzed signal amplification using silver staining was detected by grayscale values as well as the naked eye. Notably, the grayscale values decreases with increasing the concentrations of triazophos, and the color change weakened gradually. The detection range was in between 0.05 and 10 ng/mL and the minimum detection limit was set at 0.04 ng/mL. Percent recovery calculated from spiked water and apple samples ranged between 55.4 and 107.8% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 12.4-24.9%. It has therefore been shown that this protocol provides a new insight for rapid detection of small molecule pesticides in various matrices.

Abstract
A major challenge in the development of bioanalytical methods is to achieve a rapid and robust quantification of disease biomarkers present at very low concentration levels in complex biological samples. An immunoassay platform is presented herein for ultrasensitive and fast detection of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a well-recognized cancer biomarker. A sandwich type immunosensor has been developed employing a detection antibody labeled with inorganic nanoparticles acting as tags for further indirect quantification of the analyte. The required high sensitivity is then achieved through a controlled gold deposition on the nanoparticle surface, carried out after completing the recognition step of the immunoassay, thus effectively amplifying the size of the nanoparticles from nm to µm range. Due to such an amplification procedure, quantification of the biomolecule could be carried out directly on the immunoassay plates using confocal microscopy for measurement of the reflected light produced by gold-enlarged nanostructures. The high specificity of the immunoassay was demonstrated with the addition of a major abundant protein in serum (albumin) at much higher concentrations. An extremely low detection limit for PSA quantification (LOD of 1.1 fg·mL−1 PSA) has been achieved. Such excellent LOD is 2–3 orders of magnitude lower than the clinically relevant PSA levels present in biological samples (4–10 ng·mL−1) and even to monitor eventual recurrence after clinical treatment of a prostate tumor (0.1 ng·mL−1). In fact, the broad dynamic range obtained (4 orders of magnitude) would allow the PSA quantification of diverse samples at very different relevant levels.

A sensitive fluorometric bio-barcodes immunoassay for detection of triazophos residue in agricultural products and water samples by iterative cycles of DNA-RNA hybridization and dissociation of fluorophores by Ribonuclease H. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 717:137268. [PMID: 32084695 PMCID: PMC7938870 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.137268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2019] [Revised: 02/10/2020] [Accepted: 02/10/2020] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
Although the toxicity of triazophos is high and it has been pulled from the market in many countries; it is still widely used and frequently detected in agricultural products. While conventional analyses have been routinely used for the quantification and monitoring of triazophos residues, those for detecting low residual levels are deemed necessary. Therefore, we developed a novel and sensitive fluorometric signal amplification immunoassay employing bio-barcodes for the quantitative analysis of triazophos residues in foodstuffs and surface water. Herein, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) attached to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were coated with DNA oligonucleotides (used as a signal generator), and a complementary fluorogenic RNA was used for signal amplification. The system generated detection signals through DNA-RNA hybridization and subsequent dissociation of fluorophores by Ribonuclease H (RNase H). It has to be noted that RNase H can only disintegrate the RNA in DNA-RNA duplex, but not cleave single or double-stranded DNA. Hence, with iterative cycles of DNA-RNA hybridization, sufficient strong signal was obtained for reliable detection of residues. Furthermore, this method enables quantitative detection of triazophos residues through fluorescence intensity measurements. The competitive immunoassay shows a wide linear range of 0.01-100 ng/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0032 ng/mL. The assay substantially meets the demand for the low residue detection of triazophos residues in agricultural products and water samples. Accuracy (expressed as spiked recovery %) and coefficient of variation (CV) were ranged from 73.4% to 116% and 7.04% to 17.4%, respectively. The proposed bio-barcodes immunoassay has the advantages of being stable, reproducible, and reliable for residue detection. In sum, the present study provides a novel approach for detection of small molecules in various sample matrices.

Abstract
A competitive sensitive bio-barcode immunoassay based on bimetallic nanozyme (Au@Pt: gold@platinum) catalysis has been designed for the detection of the pesticide parathion. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were modified with single-stranded thiol oligonucleotides (ssDNAs) and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to form AuNP probes; magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were coated with ovalbumin (OVA)-parathion haptens as MNP probes, and bimetallic nanozyme (Au@Pt) nanoparticles functionalized with the complementary thiolated ssDNA were used as Au@Pt probes. The Au@Pt probes reacted with the AuNP probes through complementary base pairing. Further, parathion competed with MNP probes to bind the mAbs on the AuNP probes. Finally, the complex system was separated by a magnetic field. The released Au@Pt probes catalyzed a chromogenic system consisting of teramethylbenzidine (TMB). The bimetallic nanozyme-based bio-barcode immunoassay was performed on rice, pear, apple, and cabbage samples to verify the feasibility of the method. The immunoassay exhibited a linear response from 0.01 to 40 μg·kg-1, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 2.13 × 10-3 μg·kg-1. The recoveries and relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranged from 73.12 to 116.29% and 5.59 to 10.87%, respectively. The method was found to correlate well with data obtained by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In conclusion, this method exhibits potential as a sensitive alternative method for the detection of a variety of pesticides, ensuring the safety of fruits and vegetables in agriculture.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive bio-barcode competitive immunoassay method based on droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) was developed for the determination of triazophos. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were coated with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and complementary double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), which included bio-barcode DNA and thiol-capped DNA. Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) probes were constructed by modifying the MNPs with ovalbumin-hapten conjugates (OVA-hapten). The target pesticide and OVA-hapten on the surface of the MNP probes competed with the AuNP probes simultaneously, and then the bio-barcode DNA was released for quantification by ddPCR. The concentration of released DNA was inversely proportional to the concentration of pesticide to be tested. Under the optimum conditions, the competitive immunoassay exhibited a wide linear range of 0.01-20 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 0.002 ng/mL. Spike recovery tests were carried out using apple, rice, cabbage, and cucumber samples to verify the feasibility of the method. The recovery and relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the technique ranged from 76.9 to 94.4% and from 10.8 to 19.9%, respectively. To further validate the results, a linear correlation analysis was performed between the proposed method and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Consequently, the bio-barcode immunoassay based on nanoparticles and ddPCR, an ultrasensitive method, showed great potential for the determination of target pesticides in real samples.

Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the bio-barcode assay (BCA), as a new diagnostic tool, has been gradually applied to the detection of protein and nucleic acid targets and small-molecule compounds. BCA has the advantages of high sensitivity, short detection time, simple operation, low cost, good repeatability and good linear relationship between detection results. However, bio-barcode technology is not yet fully formed as a complete detection system, and the detection process in all aspects and stages is unstable. Therefore, studying the optimal reaction conditions, optimizing the experimental steps, exploring the multi-residue detection of small-molecule substances, and preparing immuno-bio-barcode kits are important research directions for the standardization and commercialization of BCA. The main theme of this review was to describe the principle of BCA, provide a comparison of its application, and introduce the single-residue and multi-residue detection of macromolecules and single-residue detection of small molecules. We also compared it with other detection methods, summarized its feasibility and limitations, expecting that with further improvement and development, the technique can be more widely used in the field of stable small-molecule and multi-residue detection.

Abstract
Herein, we report a new signal amplification scheme for quantitative biochemical analysis based on gold nanoparticle (GNPs) catalyzed polymerization of transparent silane solution to milky white and turbid siloxane. Using immunoassay as a proof of concept, GNP labeled immunoprobe was used to bind captured antigen and catalyse the polymerization reaction allowing sensitive biochemical investigation. The polymerization reaction was optimized for standard 96 well polystyrene microtiter plates and we discovered that sodium lactate acts as an enhancer in the polymerization reaction as it reduces detection time to merely 30 min. The sensing strategy was applied to detection and quantification of Salmonella Typhimurium in water and egg samples and the platform showed excellent visibly quantifiable analytical response up to 100 cells mL-1. Furthermore, clinical utility and potential of the method was validated by detecting Vi capsular polysaccharide (Vi antigen) responsible for typhoidal Salmonellosis in human serum in sandwich format with a detection limit of 1 ng mL-1. The method serves as the first report towards nanoparticle triggered polymerization for development of rapid and low cost quantitative biochemical assay.

Abstract
Immuno-polymerase chain reaction (I-PCR) assay with advantages of both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and PCR exhibits several-fold enhanced sensitivity in comparison to respective ELISA, which has wide applications for ultralow detection of several molecules, i.e. cytokines, protooncogenes and biomarkers associated with several diseases. Conjugation of reporter DNA to the detection antibodies is the most crucial step of I-PCR assay that usually employs streptavidin-protein A, streptavidin-biotin conjugate or succinimidyl-4-(N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) system by a covalent binding. However, coupling of antibodies and oligonucleotides to nanoparticles (NPs) is relatively easier in the NP-based I-PCR (NP-I-PCR) that also displays better accuracy. This article is mainly focused on the detection of important biomarkers associated with several outrageous infectious and non-infectious diseases by NP-I-PCR assays, which would expedite an early initiation of therapy thus human health would be improved. Similarly, ultralow detection of environmental pollutants by these assays and their elimination would certainly improve human health.

Colorimetric bio-barcode immunoassay for parathion based on amplification by using platinum nanoparticles acting as a nanozyme. Mikrochim Acta 2019; 186:339.

Abstract
A competitive bio-barcode immunoassay is described for the trace detection of parathion in water, pear, cabbage, and rice samples. It is based on amplification by platinum nanoparticle acting as a nanozyme. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were modified with (a) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against parathion, and (b) thiolated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) oligonucleotides. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were functionalized with ovalbumin coupled with parathion hapten. Parathion and its hapten compete with mAbs on the surface of the AuNPs. Subsequently, the platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) probe, which was functionalized with the complementary thiolated ssDNA (C-ssDNA), was added to the reaction mixture for the detection of parathion. The signal was catalytically amplified by coupling with platinum nanozyme using teramethylbenzidine and H2O2 as the chromogenic system. The immunoassay has a linear range that extends from 0.01-50 μg·L-1, and the limit of detection is 2.0 × 10-3 μg·L-1. The recoveries and relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranged from 91.1-114.4% and 3.6-15.8%, respectively. The method correlates well with data obtained by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Graphical abstract The parathion and the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) labelled with hapten-OVA competitively reacted to AuNPs modified with mAbs and thiolated DNA for the detection of parathion. The signal was catalyzed by platinum nanozyme. The limit of detection for parathion is 2.0 ng·L-1.

Abstract
Small-molecule detection is important for many applications including clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, and measurements of environmental samples and agricultural products. Current techniques for small-molecule detection suffer from various limitations including low analytical sensitivity and complex sample processing. Furthermore, as a result of their small size, small molecules are difficult to detect using an antibody pair in a traditional sandwich assay format. To overcome these limitations, we developed an ultrasensitive competitive immunoassay for small-molecule detection using Single Molecule Arrays (Simoa). We show that the competitive Simoa assay is approximately 50-fold more sensitive than the conventional ELISA. We performed theoretical calculations to determine the factors that influence the sensitivity of competitive Simoa assays and used them to achieve maximal sensitivity. We also demonstrate detection of small molecules in complex biological samples. We show that the competitive Simoa assay is a simple, fast, and highly sensitive approach for ultrasensitive detection of small molecules.

Abstract
Hormones produced by glands in the endocrine system and neurotransmitters produced by the nervous system control many bodily functions. The concentrations of these molecules in the body are an indication of its state, hence the use of the term biomarker. Excess concentrations of biomarkers, such as cortisol, serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine, are released by the body in response to a variety of conditions, for example, emotional state (euphoria, stress) and disease. The development of simple, low-cost modalities for point-of-use (PoU) measurements of biomarkers levels in various bodily fluids (blood, urine, sweat, saliva) as opposed to conventional hospital or lab settings is receiving increasing attention. This paper starts with a review of the basic properties of 12 primary stress-induced biomarkers: origin in the body (i.e., if they are produced as hormones, neurotransmitters, or both), chemical composition, molecular weight (small/medium size molecules and polymers, ranging from ∼100 Da to ∼100 kDa), and hydro- or lipophilic nature. Next is presented a detailed review of the published literature regarding the concentration of these biomarkers found in several bodily fluids that can serve as the medium for determination of the condition of the subject: blood, urine, saliva, sweat, and, to a lesser degree, interstitial tissue fluid. The concentration of various biomarkers in most fluids covers a range of 5-6 orders of magnitude, from hundreds of nanograms per milliliter (∼1 μM) down to a few picograms per milliliter (sub-1 pM). Mechanisms and materials for point-of-use biomarker sensors are summarized, and key properties are reviewed. Next, selected methods for detecting these biomarkers are reviewed, including antibody- and aptamer-based colorimetric assays and electrochemical and optical detection. Illustrative examples from the literature are discussed for each key sensor approach. Finally, the review outlines key challenges of the field and provides a look ahead to future prospects.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive flow cytometric immunoassay (TdT-FCI) is developed based on bead surface-initiated template-free DNA extension.
Proteins lack the duplication mechanism like nucleic acids, so the connection of immunoassays with effective nucleic acid amplification techniques has become a powerful way for the detection of trace protein biomarkers in biological fluids. However, such immunoassays generally suffer from rather stringent DNA sequence design and complicated operations. Herein, we propose a simple but highly sensitive flow cytometric immunoassay (FCI) by employing on-bead terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-initiated template-free DNA extension as an effective signal amplification pathway (TdT-FCI), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) co-functionalized with both the detection antibody and a 3′-OH oligonucleotide (ODN) as the transducer to bridge the immunoassay and subsequent TdT-mediated DNA amplification. The target antigen can sandwich with the capture antibody immobilized on the magnetic beads (MBs) and the detection antibody on the AuNPs to bring a lot of ODNs onto the surface of MBs. Each ODN on the MBs can be effectively elongated by TdT in a template-free manner to produce a long poly(T) tail, which will then bind to many 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-labeled poly(A)25. Since each AuNP can carry multiple ODNs and each extended ODN can ultimately capture numerous FAM-poly(A)25, efficiently amplified fluorophore accumulation on the MBs can be achieved. The fluorescent MBs can be individually interrogated with a flow cytometer and thus quantitative analysis of the target antigen can be realized. Coupled with the powerful flow cytometry analysis, the simple but efficient TdT-based signal amplification mechanism has pushed the detection limit of prostate specific antigen (PSA) down to a low level of 0.5 pg mL–1. Furthermore, based on an elegant bead size-encoding principle, we have further advanced the TdT-FCI for multiplexed antigen detection in a single reaction. Sharing the unique merits of simple design and operation, efficient signal amplification, powerful signal readout and the capability for multiplexed analysis, this TdT-FCI provides a versatile tool for detecting trace antigen biomarkers towards clinical diagnosis as well as prognosis.

Abstract
A NP-based biobarcode for C-reactive protein (CRP) quantification in plasma samples is reported for the first time. The assay uses capture antibody functionalized magnetic beads (pAbCRP2-MP), multifunctional oligonucleotide encoded probes modified with a detection antibody (pAbCRP1-ePSP), and a fluorescent DNA microarray. Thus, magnetic beads are added to the sample to form immunocomplexes that will be isolated, to then add the codified particles to form a sandwich complex with both particles and the target protein, subsequently the complexes are treated to release the oligonucleotide codes, which are finally hybridized in a fluorescent DNA microarray. The assay has been implemented to the analysis of plasma samples being able to quantify this biomarker within 900 ng mL-1 to 12500 ng mL-1 with an excellent accuracy (mean of recovery of 99.5 ± 4.2%, N = 3). The CRP biobarcode has been used on a small pilot clinical study in which plasma samples from patients suffering different pathologies, most of them related to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The samples have been analyzed and the results compared to a reference method demonstrating that the assay can be useful for monitoring this biomarker on patients being suspicious to be under risk of suffering CVDs or other diseases involving inflammatory processes.

Abstract
A novel approach for therapeutic drug monitoring of oral anticoagulants (OA) in clinical samples is reported, based on a NP-based biobarcode assay. The proposed strategy uses specific antibodies for acenocumarol (ACL) covalently bound to magnetic particles (pAb236-MP) and a bioconjugate competitor (hACL-BSA) linked to encoded polystyrene probes (hACL-BSA-ePSP) on a classical competitive immunochemical format. By using this scheme ACL can be detected in low nM range (LOD, 0.96 ± 0.26, N = 3, in buffer) even in complex samples such as serum or plasma (LOD 4 ± 1). The assay shows a high reproducibility (%CV 1.1 day-to-day) and is robust, as it is demonstrated by the fact that ACL can be quantified in complex biological samples with a very good accuracy (slope = 0.97 and R2 = 0.91, of the linear regression obtained when analyzing spiked vs measured values). Moreover, we have demonstrated that the biobarcode approach has the potential to overcome one of the main challenges of the multiplexed diagnostic, which is the possibility to measure in a single run biomarker targets present at different concentration ranges. Thus, it has been proven that the signal and the detectability can be modulated by just modifying the oligonucleotide load of the encoded probes. This fact opens the door for combining in the same assay encoded probes with the necessary oligonucleotide load to achieve the detectability required for each biomarker target.
