Abstract
Recently, agriculture systems have faced numerous challenges involving sustainable nutrient use efficiency and feeding, environmental pollution especially heavy metals (HMs), infection of harmful microorganisms, and maintenance of crop production quality during postharvesting and packaging. Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have emerged as powerful tools in agriculture applications that provide alternatives or support traditional methods. This review aims to address and highlight the current overarching issue and various implementation strategies of nanotechnology for sustainable agriculture development. In particular, the current progress of different nano-fertilizers (NFs) systems was analyzed to show their advances in enhancing the uptake and translocations in plants and improving nutrient bioavailability in soil. Also, the design strategy and application of nanotechnology for rapid detection of HMs and pathogenic diseases in plant crops were emphasized. The engineered nanomaterials have great potential for biosensors with high sensitivity and selectivity, high signal throughput, and reproducibility through various detection approaches such as Raman, colorimetric, biological, chemical, and electrical sensors. We obtain that the development of microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip (LoC) technologies offers the opportunity to create on-site portable and smart biodevices and chips for real-time monitoring of plant diseases. The last part of this work is a brief introduction to trends in nanotechnology for harvesting and packaging to provide insights into the overall applications of nanotechnology for crop production quality. This review provides the current advent of nanotechnology in agriculture, which is essential for further studies examining novel applications for sustainable agriculture.

Panferov VG, Zherdev AV, Dzantiev BB. Post-Assay Chemical Enhancement for Highly Sensitive Lateral Flow Immunoassays: A Critical Review. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:866. [PMID: 37754100 PMCID: PMC10526817 DOI: 10.3390/bios13090866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has found a broad application for testing in point-of-care (POC) settings. LFIA is performed using test strips-fully integrated multimembrane assemblies containing all reagents for assay performance. Migration of liquid sample along the test strip initiates the formation of labeled immunocomplexes, which are detected visually or instrumentally. The tradeoff of LFIA's rapidity and user-friendliness is its relatively low sensitivity (high limit of detection), which restricts its applicability for detecting low-abundant targets. An increase in LFIA's sensitivity has attracted many efforts and is often considered one of the primary directions in developing immunochemical POC assays. Post-assay enhancements based on chemical reactions facilitate high sensitivity. In this critical review, we explain the performance of post-assay chemical enhancements, discuss their advantages, limitations, compared limit of detection (LOD) improvements, and required time for the enhancement procedures. We raise concerns about the performance of enhanced LFIA and discuss the bottlenecks in the existing experiments. Finally, we suggest the experimental workflow for step-by-step development and validation of enhanced LFIA. This review summarizes the state-of-art of LFIA with chemical enhancement, offers ways to overcome existing limitations, and discusses future outlooks for highly sensitive testing in POC conditions.

Abstract
A sensor system based on a piezoelectric resonator with a lateral electric field in the frequency range 6-7 MHz of the electric field for virus detection is described. Through use of the transmissible virus causing gastroenteritis in pigs and specific antibodies, the possibility of detecting the virus in suspension in real time was determined. It was found that the frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the electrical impedance of such a resonator loaded with a virus suspension changes significantly after the addition of specific antibodies to the suspension. No changes are observed if the antibodies are not specific. Thus, the results obtained illustrate the possibility of detecting viruses in situ, directly in the liquid phase, if the change in the real or imaginary parts of the electrical impedance after the addition of antibodies is used as an analytical signal. The possibility of virus detection in the presence of foreign viral particles has been illustrated.

Applications of Surface Plasmon Resonance and Biolayer Interferometry for Virus–Ligand Binding. Viruses 2022; 14:v14040717.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance and biolayer interferometry are two common real-time and label-free assays that quantify binding events by providing kinetic parameters. There is increased interest in using these techniques to characterize whole virus-ligand interactions, as the methods allow for more accurate characterization than that of a viral subunit-ligand interaction. This review aims to summarize and evaluate the uses of these technologies specifically in virus–ligand and virus-like particle–ligand binding cases to guide the field towards studies that apply these robust methods for whole virus-based studies.

Comparative Study of Four Coloured Nanoparticle Labels in Lateral Flow Immunoassay. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11123277.

Abstract
The detection limit of lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is largely determined by the properties of the label used. We compared four nanoparticle labels differing in their chemical composition and colour: (1) gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), red; (2) Au-core/Pt-shell nanoparticles (Au@Pt NPs), black; (3) latex nanoparticles (LPs), green; and (4) magnetic nanoparticles (MPs), brown. The comparison was carried out using one target analyte—Erwinia amylovora, the causal bacterial agent of fire blight. All nanoparticles were conjugated with antibodies through methods that provide maximum functional coverage like physical adsorption (Au NPs, Au@Pt NPs) and covalent bonding (LPs, MPs). All conjugates demonstrated the same ability to bind with E. amylovora through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay where optical properties of the nanoparticles do not determine the registered signal. However, half-maximal binding was achieved at different numbers of nanoparticles because they differ in size. All conjugates based on four nanoparticle labels were used for lateral flow assays. As a result, Au@Pt NPs provided the minimal detection limit that corresponded to 103 CFU/mL. Au NPs and LPs detected 104 CFU/mL, and MPs detected 105 CFU/mL. The results highlight that simply choosing a coloured label can significantly affect the detection limit of LFIA.

Abstract
Diagnosis of bacterial infections (BI) is becoming an increasingly difficult task in clinical practice due to their high prevalence and frequency, as well as the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. World Health Organization (WHO) reported antibiotic resistance is a major public health problem. BI becomes difficult or impossible to treat when the bacteria acquire immunity against antibiotics. Thus, there is a need for a quick and accurate technique to detect infection. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is an ideal technique for point-of-care testing of a disease or pathological changes inside the human body. In recent years, several LFIA based strips are being used for the detection of BI by targeting specific analytes which may range from the causative bacterium, whole-cell, DNA, or biomarker. Numerous nanoparticles like lipid-based nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, and inorganic nanoparticles such as quantum dots, magnetic, ceramic, and metallic nanoparticles (copper, silver gold, iron) are widely being used in the advanced treatment of BI. Out of these gold nanoparticle (AuNPs), is being used for detection BI more effectively than other nanoparticles due to their surface functionalization, extraordinary chemical stability, biorecognition, and signal amplification properties and help to improve in conjugation with capture antibodies, and act as a color marker with unique optical properties on LFIA strips. Herein, a review that provides an overview of the principle of LFIA, how LFIA based strip is developed, and how it is helpful to detect a specific biomarker for bedside detection of the BI.

Abstract
For lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), it is an important challenge to enhance the detection sensitivity to the same level as polymerase chain reaction or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to make LFIA pervasive in the field of on-site environmental analysis. We recently demonstrated that the LFIA sensitivity is dramatically enhanced by using Pt-nanoparticle-latex nanocomposite beads (Pt-P2VPs) as probes for the detection of the influenza A (H1N1) antigen compared with using conventional Au colloids as probes. Here, to further enhance the LFIA sensitivity using Pt-P2VPs, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were chemically conjugated to Pt-P2VPs (Pt-P2VP@SPION) to give them magnetic separation capability (enrichment and/or purification). To investigate the effect of magnetic enrichment on the LFIA sensitivity in a sandwich format, the C-reactive protein (CRP) was chosen as a model analyte and anti-CRP antibody (CRPAb)-conjugated Pt-P2VP@SPION (Pt-P2VP@SPION-CRPAb) beads were used as probes. The visual limit of detection (LOD) of LFIA was successfully lowered by increasing the magnetic enrichment factor φ. The minimum LOD under the present experimental conditions was 0.08 ng/mL for φ = 40, which is 26-fold lower than that of the standard Au-nanoparticle-based LFIA. In theory, the LOD can be unlimitedly decreased by just increasing φ. However, the times required for both the antigen-antibody binding reaction and magnetic separation dramatically increase with φ. We also propose solutions to overcome this drawback.

Abstract
The interaction of microbial cells with antibody-gold nanoparticle conjugates in conductive suspensions was experimentally studied by using an acoustic slot-mode sensor. The sensor consisted of a piezoelectric plate with a propagating acoustic wave and a liquid container located above this plate with a given gap. An analysis of the measured parameters of the sensor revealed that the specific interaction of bacterial cells with the conjugates led to a stronger change in the sensor output signal than the specific interaction of bacterial cells with antibodies. The measurements were made for Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 cells in buffer with an initial conductivity of 5-30 μS/cm. The limit of cell detection with the conjugates was 103 cells/mL, and the analysis took about 4 min. The advantage of the sensor is the possibility of repeated use and cleaning of the liquid container without damaging the sensor's elements. These results are promising for use in rapid test systems for the direct detection of microbial cells in actual samples of liquids in medical diagnostics.

Abstract
The integration of several controlled parameters within a single test system is experiencing increased demand. However, multiplexed test systems typically require complex manufacturing. Here, we describe a multiplexed immunochromatographic assay that incorporates a conventional nitrocellulose membrane, which is used together with microspot printing, to construct adjacent microfluidic "tracks" for multiplexed detection. The 1 mm distance between tracks allows for the detection of up to four different analytes. The following reagents are applied in separate zones: (a) gold nanoparticle conjugates with antibodies against each analyte, (b) other antibodies against each analyte, and (c) antispecies antibodies. The immersion of the test strip in the sample initiates the lateral flow, during which reagents of different specificities move along their tracks without track erosion or reagent mixing. An essential advantage of the proposed assay is its extreme rapidity (1-1.5 min compared with 10 min for common test strips). This assay format was applied to the detection of cardiac and inflammatory markers (myoglobin, D-dimer, and C-reactive protein) in human blood, and was characterized by high reproducibility (8%-15% coefficient of variation) with stored working ranges of conventional tests. The universal character of the proposed approach will facilitate its use for various analytes.
