Abstract
One of the most consumed foods is milk and milk products, and guaranteeing the suitability of these products is one of the major concerns in our society. This has led to the development of numerous sensors to enhance quality controls in the food chain. However, this is not a simple task, because it is necessary to establish the parameters to be analyzed and often, not only one compound is responsible for food contamination or degradation. To attempt to address this problem, a multiplex analysis together with a non-directed (e.g., general parameters such as pH) analysis are the most relevant alternatives to identifying the safety of dairy food. In recent years, the use of new technologies in the development of devices/platforms with optical or electrochemical signals has accelerated and intensified the pursuit of systems that provide a simple, rapid, cost-effective, and/or multiparametric response to the presence of contaminants, markers of various diseases, and/or indicators of safety levels. However, achieving the simultaneous determination of two or more analytes in situ, in a single measurement, and in real time, using only one working 'real sensor', remains one of the most daunting challenges, primarily due to the complexity of the sample matrix. To address these requirements, different approaches have been explored. The state of the art on food safety sensors will be summarized in this review including optical, electrochemical, and other sensor-based detection methods such as magnetoelastic or mass-based sensors.

Abstract
Food security is a global issue, since it is closely related to human health. Antibiotics play a significant role in animal husbandry owing to their desirable broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. However, irrational use of antibiotics has caused serious environmental pollution and food safety problems; thus, the on-site detection of antibiotics is in high demand in environmental analysis and food safety assessment. Aptamer-based sensors are simple to use, accurate, inexpensive, selective, and are suitable for detecting antibiotics for environmental and food safety analysis. This review summarizes the recent advances in aptamer-based electrochemical, fluorescent, and colorimetric sensors for antibiotics detection. The review focuses on the detection principles of different aptamer sensors and recent achievements in developing electrochemical, fluorescent, and colorimetric aptamer sensors. The advantages and disadvantages of different sensors, current challenges, and future trends of aptamer-based sensors are also discussed.

Abstract
The abuse of antibiotics has caused serious threat to human health, so it is of great significance to develop a simple and sensitive method for the detection of trace residues of antibiotics in the environment and food. Herein, a novel label-free fluorescent biosensing platform based on the fluorescence change of aptamers-capped zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) @ 2,2',2″,2‴-((ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayltetrakis (benzene-4,1-diyl)) tetrakis (oxy)) tetraacetic acid (TPE) through ATP-assisted competitive coordination reaction was designed for such an end. ZIF-8@TPE/Aptamer (Apt) emits strong fluorescence at 425 nm in HEPES buffer due to the aggregation induced luminescence properties of TPE molecules in confined state. Once kanamycin was added, the conformation of aptamer capped on the surface of ZIF-8@TPE changes because of the specific recognition of kanamycin with aptamer, leading to the collapse of ZIF-8 and release of TPE, accompanied with a dramatic decrease of fluorescence intensity. Under the optimal conditions, a good correlation was obtained between the fluorescence intensity of ZIF-8@TPE/Apt and the concentration of kanamycin ranging from 10 to 103 ng/mL with a detection limit of 7.3 ng/mL. The satisfactory analytical performance of the assay for kanamycin detection suggests good prospect for its application in food safety analysis.

Abstract
In recent years, the need for simple, fast, and economical detection of food and environmental contaminants, and the necessity to monitor biomarkers of different diseases have considerably accelerated the development of biosensor technology. However, designing biosensors capable of simultaneous determination of two or more analytes in a single measurement, for example on a single working electrode in single solution, is still a great challenge. On the other hand, such analysis offers many advantages compared to single analyte tests, such as cost per test, labor, throughput, and convenience. Because of the high sensitivity and scalability of the electrochemical detection systems on the one hand and the specificity of aptamers on the other, the electrochemical aptasensors are considered to be highly effective devices for simultaneous detection of multiple-target analytes. In this review, we describe and evaluate multi-label approaches based on (1) metal quantum dots and metal ions, (2) redox labels, and (3) enzyme labels. We focus on recently developed strategies for multiplex sensing using electrochemical aptasensors. Furthermore, we emphasize the use of different nanomaterials in the construction of these aptasensors. Based on examples from the existing literature, we highlight recent applications of multiplexed detection platforms in clinical diagnostics, food control, and environmental monitoring. Finally, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the aptasensors developed so far, and debate possible challenges and prospects.

Abstract
The residual tetracyclines in food are frequently applied as the model compounds to develop aptasensors. Until now, more than 100 advanced aptasensors towards tetracyclines have been developed and published in English. This review summarizes and discusses comprehensively these advanced aptasensors, in terms of the principle designs, applied frontier transducers/materials, working performance, and advantages/disadvantages. The aptasensors are classified according to the inherent transduction techniques, i.e., optics, optics-electricity, optics-mass, and electricity-mass. Moreover, the present challenges such as the limited specificity and limited affinity of the aptamers, the future prospects and trends such as further combination with other advanced materials and technologies, and the urgent need of expanding the practical application were discussed and prospected. We hope this review can serve as a powerful tool for both tracing the development progresses of aptasensors and providing adequate references for further development of aptasensing methods for food-related analytes.

Abstract
Electrically addressable covalent immobilization of probes on a multiplexed electrode for the simultaneous detection of multiple targets within the same sample is often regarded as a difficult milestone to be achieved. Herein, we demonstrated a reagentless disposable multiplexed electrochemical DNA and aptamer-based sensing platform for the simultaneous determination of various targets. The electrochemically triggered "click" chemistry was developed, and three biomarkers, including p53, thrombin, and VEGF165 were used as model analytes. The proposed sensor consisted of three independent screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE), with an alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction that was activated selectively by means of electrical triggering, so that different DNA probes can be modified on the desired electrode units in sequence. In terms of simultaneous detection, the sensor was able to quantify the DNA target of p53 with a detection limit of 0.35 nM, whereas the limits of detection for protein quantification of thrombin and VEGF165 were 0.22 nM and 0.014 nM, respectively. The proposed sensor not only showed encouraging reproducibility and stability, but also performed well even in 50% serum samples. Therefore, the work described here offers a general strategy for developing a multiplexed sensor with promising potential to achieve rapid, simple and cost-effective analysis of biological samples.

Abstract
The detection of antimicrobial residues in food products of animal origin is of utmost importance. Indeed antimicrobial residues could be present in animal derived food products because of animal treatments for curative purposes or from illegal use. The usual screening methods to detect antimicrobial residues in food are microbiological, immunological or physico-chemical methods. The development of biosensors to propose sensitive, cheap and quick alternatives to classical methods is constantly increasing. Aptasensors are one of the major trends proposed in the literature, in parallel with the development of immunosensors based on antibodies. The characteristics of electrochemical sensors (i.e., low cost, miniaturization, and portable instrumentation) make them very good candidates to develop screening methods for antimicrobial residues in food products. This review will focus on the recent advances in the development of electrochemical aptasensors for the detection of antimicrobial residues in food products. The contribution of nanomaterials to improve the performance characteristics of electrochemical aptasensors (e.g., Sensitivity, easiness, stability) in the last ten years, as well as signal amplification techniques will be highlighted.

Abstract
Antibiotics can accumulate through food metabolism in the human body which may have a significant effect on human safety and health. It is therefore highly beneficial to establish easy and sensitive approaches for rapid assessment of antibiotic amounts. In the development of next-generation biosensors, nanomaterials (NMs) with outstanding thermal, mechanical, optical, and electrical properties have been identified as one of the most hopeful materials for opening new gates. This study discusses the latest developments in the identification of antibiotics by nanomaterial-constructed biosensors. The construction of biosensors for electrochemical signal-transducing mechanisms has been utilized in various types of nanomaterials, including quantum dots (QDs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), metal nanomaterials, and carbon nanomaterials. To provide an outline for future study directions, the existing problems and future opportunities in this area are also included. The current review, therefore, summarizes an in-depth assessment of the nanostructured electrochemical sensing method for residues of antibiotics in different systems.

Abstract
An electrochemical aptasensor, including the polyethyleneimine-graphite-like carbon nitride/Au nanowire nanocomposite (PEI-C3N4/AuNWs) and exonuclease-assisted signal amplification strategy was constructed for the determination of chloramphenicol (CAP). Initially, a nanocomposite with substantial electrocatalytic property was synthesized by PEI-C3N4/AuNWs. This improves the conductivity and specific surface area of the PEI-C3N4/AuNW-modified gold electrode. Next, a DNA with a complementary sequence to a CAP aptamer (cDNA) was immobilized on the PEI-C3N4/AuNW-modified electrode, followed by the CAP aptamer hybridized with cDNA. The lower signal at this time is due to the negatively charged phosphate group of the oligonucleotide and [Fe (CN)6]3-/4- electrostatically repelling each other. The presence of the CAP would cause aptamer on the electrode surface to fall off and be digested by Recjf exonuclease, which resulted in target recycling, and a significant increase in DPV signal can be observed at a potential of 0.176 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Under optimal conditions, there is a linear relationship between the peak current and the logarithm of CAP concentration in the range 100 fM-1 μM, and the detection limit of this aptasensor is 2.96 fM (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the resultant aptasensor has excellent specificity, reproducibility, and long-term stability, and has been applied to the detection of CAP in milk samples. Graphical abstract The detection principle of the electrochemical aptasensor for CAP detection was based on PEI-C3N4/AuNWs and exonuclease-assistant signal amplification. It is based on the fact that PEI-C3N4/AuNWs nanocomposites on the surface of the electrode can effectively improve the performance of the aptasensor, and Recjf exonuclease initiates the target recycling process, causes signal amplification.

Abstract
The existence of contaminants in food poses a serious threat to human health. In recent years, aptamer sensors (aptasensors) have been developed rapidly for the detection of food contaminants because of their high specificity, design flexibility, and high efficiency. However, the development of high-throughput, highly sensitive, on-site, and cost-effective methods for simultaneous detection of food contaminants is still restricted due to multiple signal overlap or mutual interference and cross-reaction between different analytes with similar molecular structures. To overcome these problems, this Review summarizes some effective strategies from the articles published in recent years about multiplexed aptasensors for the simultaneous detection of food contaminants. This work focuses on the application of multiplexed aptasensors to simultaneously detect antibiotics, pathogens, and mycotoxins in food. These aptasensors mainly contain fluorescent aptasensors, electrochemical aptasensors, surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based aptasensors, microfluidic chip aptasensors, and paper-based multiplexed aptasensors. In addition, this Review also covers the application of nucleic acid cycle amplification and nanomaterial amplification strategies to improve the detection sensitivity. Finally, the limitations and challenges in the design of multiplexed aptasensor are also taken into account.

Abstract
Magnetic nanomaterials (MNMs) have gained high attention in different fields of studies due to their ferromagnetic/superparamagnetic properties and their low toxicity and high biocompatibility. MNMs contain magnetic elements such as iron and nickel in metallic, bimetallic, metal oxide, and mixed metal oxide. In electroanalytical methods, MNMs have been applied as sorbents for sample preparation before the electrochemical detection (sorbent role), as the electrode modifier (catalytic role), and the integration of the above two roles (as both sorbent and catalytic agent). In this paper, the application of MNMs in electroanalytical methods have been classified based on the main role of the nanomaterial and discussed separately. Furthermore, catalytic activities of MNMs in electroanalytical methods such as redox electrocatalytic, nanozymes catalytic (peroxidase, catalase activity, oxidase activity, superoxide dismutase activity), catalyst gate, and nanocontainer have been discussed.

Abstract
An ultrahigh-sensitivity lateral flow immunochromatography (LFIC) assay based on up-converting nanoparticles (UCNPs) was developed to carry out a multi-residue detection of tetracycline in milk. The sensitivity of the immunoassay was greatly improved by the use of a broad-spectrum monoclonal antibody attached to UCNPs to form a signal probe. Under the optimal conditions, the UCNP-LFIC assay enabled sensitive detection of tetracycline (TC) as well as of oxytetracycline (OTC), chlortetracycline (CTC), and doxycycline (DOX) within 10 min, with IC 50 values of 0.32, 0.32, 0.26, 0.22 ng/mL, respectively. There was no cross-reactivity with ten other antibiotics. Similarly, we evaluated the experimental results for matrix effects. Experiments involving spiking showed the four tetracycline antibiotics displaying mean recoveries ranging from 93.95 to 111.90% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of < 9.95%. The detection results of actual samples using the developed method showed a good correlation (R 2 ≥ 0.98) with the results using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Thus, the assay can achieve an ultrahighly sensitive detection of antibiotics in milk, and can hence promote human health and provides promising applications in the bio-detection field.

Abstract
In order to effectively monitor the residue of kanamycin (KAN), a dual-signal-amplified electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes@titanium dioxide/thionine (MWCNTs@TiO2/Thi) was proposed. MWCNTs@TiO2 with large specific surface area and favorable biocompatibility could accelerate charge transfer and enable high loading of luminol to enhance ECL response. As a perfect electronic mediator, Thi could also accelerate electron conductivity to further enhance ECL intensity. The ECL intensity of MWCNTs@TiO2/Thi was enhanced for 3.6-fold compared with that of individual Thi because Thi could strongly interact with MWCNTs through π-π stacking force to enhance the electronic transmission. With the outstanding electron transfer property of MWCNTs@TiO2 and Thi, ECL intensity of the proposed aptasensor was obviously increased. Upon addition of KAN, the aptamer bound to its target, which caused that the ECL intensity decrease significantly. Therefore, KAN concentration could be monitored on the basis of signal intensity. Under optimal conditions, the constructed aptasensor exhibited a sensitive response towards KAN and a low detection limit of 0.049 ng mL-1 was obtained. It also possessed the excellent specificity, favorable stability and good reproducibility. Importantly, the application of proposed ECL aptasensor provides an efficient approach for highly sensitive detection of various small molecular contaminants.

Abstract
The performance of chloramphenicol aptamer, including binding thermodynamics, structure switching, and binding domain, was investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry, circular dichroism, and molecular docking. Then, a new fluorescence aptasensor was developed with signal amplification mediated by exonuclease I-catalyzed reaction and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for chloramphenicol detection. In this system, the aptamer-binding domain is blocked by the initiator of HCR, the aptamer undergoes structure switching in the presence of chloramphenicol, and DNA dissociation occurs. The released aptamer is subsequently recognized and cleaved by Exo I to set free chloramphenicol. With the Exo I-assisted chloramphenicol recycling, an increasing number of initiators were exposed from the digestion of the initiator-aptamer complex. Then, the chain-like assembly of FAM labeled H1 and H2 through HCR was triggered by the initiator, generating a long DNA polymer. Under optimum conditions, the aptasensor exhibited a log-linear range from 0.001 to 100 nM of chloramphenicol and a detection limit of 0.3 pM. Additionally, the designed biosensing platform was applied to determine chloramphenicol in milk and lake water with high accuracy. The current approach provides a new avenue to develop sensitive aptasensors with the assistance of binding mechanism between aptamer and target compounds. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
A complementary DNA (cDNA) was designed to simultaneously hybridize with the ochratoxin A (OTA) aptamer and the fumonisin B1 (FB1) aptamer to form a unique Y-shaped DNA structure and to achieve simultaneous detection. Gold nanorods (AuNRs) were used to immobilize thionine (Th), thiolated ferrocene (Fc), thiolated OTA aptamer (Apt1), and thiolated FB1 aptamer (Apt2), to form an amplified signal element and a recognition element. The Apt1-AuNRs-Th complex and the Apt2-AuNRs-Fc complex hybridize with cDNA to form a unique Y-DNA structure on a gold electrode. This produces two initial electrochemical signals [with 177 μΑ cm-2 near -0.2 V, and 3121 μΑ cm-2 near +0.46 V (vs. Ag/AgCl)] by differential pulse voltammetry. Upon addition of 0.1 ng mL-1 OTA and 0.1 ng mL-1 FB1, the aptamers bind the two toxins. This results in the release of Apt1-AuNRs-Th and Apt2-AuNRs-Fc, so the peak currents densities decrease to 115 μΑ cm-2 and 209 μΑ cm-2. The assay allows simultaneous determination of OTA and FB1 in the 1.0 pg·mL-1 to 100 ng·mL-1 concentration ranges, with LODs of 0.47 and 0.26 pg·mL-1. The assay is reproducible, stable and specific. It was applied to the determination of OTA and FB1 in spiked beer, with recoveries between 89.0% and 102.0%.

Abstract
In the present study, a sensitive label-free electrochemical aptasensor is introduced to measure aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) by using platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) decorated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with Fe-based metal-organic frameworks, MIL-101(Fe). The MIL-101(Fe) and the PtNP/MIL-101(Fe) are synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are done to monitor the fabrication processes of the aptasensor. In optimum conditions, the linear calibration range of 1.0 × 10-2 to 80.0 ng mL-1 and the detection limit of 2.0 × 10-3 ng mL-1 are obtained to measure AFM1 concentration using the EIS method. Finally, the fabricated aptasensor is successfully applied to measure AFM1 concentration in powder and pasteurized milk samples.

Abstract
With increasing population growth and resource depletion, ecological health is a hotspot and urgent topic. Our study investigated the occurrence and distribution of five antibiotics, i.e., metronidazole (MET), sulfamethoxazole (SMZ), ciprofloxacin (CFX), norfloxacin (NFX), and enrofloxacin (EFX), in the surface water from Erlong Lake, China. With the seasonal and spatial variations of antibiotics, this study developed an interdisciplinary approach for the ecological risk of antibiotics considering the natural, human, and socioeconomic elements of watershed based on the risk theory of natural disaster. This approach integrates the geographic information system (GIS) spatial analysis tool, natural disaster theory, "driving force"-"pressure"-"state"-"impact"-"response" (DPSIR) model, and ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators in terms of various environmental factors, representing a new ecological risk paradigm for environmental managers or decision-makers to identify environmental change. A total of 69 samples were collected in wet, dry, and normal seasons from 2017 to 2018, and laboratory analyses revealed that four antibiotics (MET, SMZ, CFX, and NFX) were widely detected in the lake. The mean concentrations decreased in the order of MET (1041.7 ng L-1) > SMZ (771.4 ng L-1) > CFX (646.4 ng L-1) > NFX (179.0 ng L-1) > EFX (15.3 ng L-1), with their levels in natural surface waters higher than those in other studies. Antibiotic concentrations were higher in dry seasons than in other seasons, and the concentrations were strongly correlated with EC (electrical conductivity), pH, DOC (dissolved organic carbon), and TP (total phosphorus) according to redundancy analysis (RDA). Significant seasonal variations were found in CFX and EFX (ANOVA, p < 0.001). For the whole watershed, the ecological extremely and heavily vulnerable levels were concentrated in the central and northwest regions of the watershed, i.e., Changling county and Lishu county. Hence, the ecological distributions of extreme risk and heavy risk posed by the five selected antibiotics were assessed by using the mixture hazard quotient methods and DPSIR model which were also located in these counties in different seasons. The antibiotic results of ecosystem risk assessment can support decision-makers in identifying and prioritizing the necessary taking of specific measures and different risk attitudes to preserve the quality of ecological health for a city or multiple counties.

Abstract
A simple and rapid sensing strategy was proposed for chloramphenicol (CAP) detection based on structure-switching signaling aptamers. In this protocol, the aptamer can bind to both the fluorophore (FAM)-labeled complementary strand and the quencher (BHQ1)-labeled complementary strand, thus leading to the effective quenching of FAM fluorescence by BHQ1. However, when CAP is present, the structure switch is reversed because the aptamer recognizes CAP, resulting in fluorescence recovery. Such a fluorescence-sensing platform can monitor CAP within a good linear range (1-100 ng/mL), with a detection limit of 0.70 ng/mL. Cross-reactivity with other common antibiotics is negligible, indicating the excellent selectivity of the strategy. Moreover, as the aptamers are not modified, this method is simple and low-cost. The present work reveals a new direction for detecting CAP or other target compounds without prior knowledge of the secondary or tertiary structures of the aptamer.

Abstract
In this work, a disposable and portable aptasensor for the fast and sensitive detection of oxytetracycline (OTC) using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (cMWCNTs)@thionine connecting complementary strand of aptamer (cDNA) as signal tags was constructed. The substrate electrode of the aptasensor was thin film gold electrode (TFGE), which have the advantages of portable and uniform performance. In the presence of OTC, OTC competed with cDNA to combine with aptamer. The bioconjugate (AuNPs/cMWCNTs/cDNA@thionine) was released from the TFGE. Thus, the electrochemical signal declined. Under optimized conditions, the aptasensor exhibited good stability, high selectivity and high sensitivity. Furthermore, the developed electrochemical aptamer-based TFGE had a wide dynamic range of 1 × 10-13-1 × 10-5 g mL-1 for target OTC with a low detection limit of 3.1 × 10-14 g mL-1 and was successfully used for the determination of OTC in chicken sample.

Abstract
Background:
The determination of drugs in pharmaceutical formulations and human biologic fluids is
important for pharmaceutical and medical sciences. Successful analysis requires low sensitivity, high selectivity
and minimum interference effects. Current analytical methods can detect drugs at very low levels but these methods
require long sample preparation steps, extraction prior to analysis, highly trained technical staff and high-cost
instruments. Biosensors offer several advantages such as short analysis time, high sensitivity, real-time analysis,
low-cost instruments, and short pretreatment steps over traditional techniques. Biosensors allow quantification not
only of the active component in pharmaceutical formulations, but also the degradation products and metabolites in
biological fluids. The present review gives comprehensive information on the application of biosensors for drug
discovery and analysis. Moreover, this review focuses on the fabrication of these biosensors.
Methods:
Biosensors can be classified as the utilized bioreceptor and the signal transduction mechanism. The classification
based on signal transductions includes electrochemical optical, thermal or acoustic. Electrochemical and
optic transducers are mostly utilized transducers used for drug analysis. There are many biological recognition elements,
such as enzymes, antibodies, cells that have been used in fabricating of biosensors. Aptamers and antibodies
are the most widely used recognition elements for the screening of the drugs. Electrochemical sensors and biosensors
have several advantages such as low detection limits, a wide linear response range, good stability and reproducibility.
Optical biosensors have several advantages such as direct, real-time and label-free detection of many
biological and chemical substances, high specificity, sensitivity, small size and low cost. Modified electrodes enhance
sensitivity of the electrodes to develop a new biosensor with desired features. Chemically modified electrodes
have gained attention in drug analysis owing to low background current, wide potential window range, simple
surface renewal, low detection limit and low cost. Modified electrodes produced by modifying of a solid surface
electrode via different materials (carbonaceous materials, metal nanoparticles, polymer, biomolecules) immobilization.
Recent advances in nanotechnology offer opportunities to design and construct biosensors. Unique features
of nanomaterials provide many advantages in the fabrication of biosensors. Nanomaterials have controllable
chemical structures, large surface to volume ratios, functional groups on their surface. To develop proteininorganic
hybrid nanomaterials, four preparation methods have been used. These methods are immobilization, conjugation,
crosslinking and self-assembly. In the present manuscript, applications of different biosensors, fabricated
by using several materials, for drug analysis are reviewed. The biosensing strategies are investigated and discussed
in detail.
Results:
Several analytical techniques such as chromatography, spectroscopy, radiometry, immunoassays and electrochemistry
have been used for drug analysis and quantification. Methods based on chromatography require timeconsuming
procedure, long sample-preparation steps, expensive instruments and trained staff. Compared to chromatographic
methods, immunoassays have simple protocols and lower cost. Electrochemical measurements have
many advantages over traditional chemical analyses and give information about drug quantity, metabolic fate of
drugs, and pharmacological activity. Moreover, the electroanalytical methods are useful to determine drugs sensitively
and selectivity. Additionally, these methods decrease analysis cost and require low-cost instruments and
simple sample pretreatment steps.
Conclusion:
In recent years, drug analyses are performed using traditional techniques. These techniques have a
good detection limit, but they have some limitations such as long analysis time, expensive device and experienced
personnel requirement. Increased demand for practical and low-cost analytical techniques biosensor has gained interest
for drug determinations in medical sciences. Biosensors are unique and successful devices when compared to
traditional techniques. For drug determination, different electrode modification materials and different biorecognition
elements are used for biosensor construction. Several biosensor construction strategies have been developed to
enhance the biosensor performance. With the considerable progress in electrode surface modification, promotes the
selectivity of the biosensor, decreases the production cost and provides miniaturization. In the next years, advances
in technology will provide low cost, sensitive, selective biosensors for drug analysis in drug formulations and biological
samples.

Abstract
With increasing economic globalization, food safety is becoming the most serious concern in the food production and distribution system. Food safety hazard factors (FSHFs) can be categorized into chemical hazards, biological hazards and physical hazards, with the detection of the former two having fascinated interdisciplinary research areas spanning chemistry, material science and biological science. Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) -based sensors overcome many limitations of traditional detection methods and provide opportunities for efficient, sensitive and low-cost detection using smart miniaturized equipment. With highly specific molecular recognition capacity and high stability in harsh chemical and physical conditions, MIPs have been used in sensing platforms such as electrochemical, optical and mass-sensitive sensors as promising alternatives to bio-receptors for food analysis. In this systemic review, we summarize recent advances of MIPs and MIP-based sensors, such as popular monomers, usual polymerization strategies, fresh modification materials and advanced sensing mechanisms. The applications of MIP-based sensors in FSHF detection are discussed according to sensing mechanisms, including electrochemistry, optics and mass-sensitivity. Finally, future perspectives and challenges are discussed.

Abstract
The growing prevalence of antibiotic resistance poses an increasingly serious threat to human health. Although an important driver of antibiotic resistance is the continuous exposure of bacteria to sublethal concentrations of antibiotics in natural environments, antibiotic pollutants are not currently tracked globally or systematically. This limits the international capacity to address the rise of antibiotic resistance at its source. To address this lack of data, the development of methods to measure antibiotic concentrations on-site is essential. These methods, ideally, must be sensitive to sublethal concentrations of antibiotics and require minimal technical expertise. Furthermore, factors such as cost, selectivity, biosafety and the ability to multiplex must be evaluated in the context of field use. Based on these criteria, we provide a critical review of current methods in antibiotic detection and evaluate their adaptability for use on-site. We categorize these methods into microbiological assays, physical and chemical assays, immunoassays, aptasensors and whole-cell biosensors. We recommend continued development of a dipstick or microfluidics approach with a bacterial promoter-based mechanism and colorimetric output. This technique would incorporate the advantageous aspects of existing methods, maximize shelf-life and ease-of-use, and require minimal resources to implement in the field.

Abstract
Pesticide contamination has become one of the most serious problems of public health in the world, due to their wide application in agriculture industry to guarantee the crop yield and quality. The detection of pesticide residues plays an important role in food safety management and environment protection. However, the conventional detection methodologies cannot realize highly sensitive, selective and on-site detection, which limits their applications. Aptamers are short single-stranded oligonucleotides (RNA or DNA) selected by SELEX method, which can selectively bind to their targets with high affinity. Compared with the commonly used antibodies or enzymes in designing biosensors, aptamers exhibit better stability, low molecular weight, easy modification and low cost, and were regarded as excellent candidates for developing aptasensors for pesticide detection. In this review, application of aptamers for pesticide detection was reviewed. Firstly, aptamers specifically bind to various pesticides were first summarized. Secondly, the progresses and highlights of developing aptasensors for highly-sensitive and selective detection of pesticide residues were systematically provided. Finally, the present challenges and future perspectives for developing novel highly-effective aptasensor for the detection of pesticide residues were discussed.

Abstract
The Infiniplex for milk® (IPM) kit is a quick method for the simultaneous and qualitative detection of more than 100 molecules including antibiotic residues, mycotoxins, anti-inflammatories and antiparasitic drugs into a single test that does not require milk treatment. The IPM® kit was validated according to the European decision EC/2002/657 and according to the European guideline for the validation of screening methods (2010). Our validation was focused only on antibiotic residues. The washing step was identified as the most critical step of the assay. Insufficient washes could cause a significant background noise that prevents imaging. Positive controls have to be freshly prepared each day (insufficient stability). The method was specific with a low false-positive rate of 1.7% on 5 discrete test regions (DTR) ((beta-lactams, lincomycin, virginiamycin, quinolones and sulphonamides)) and a false-positive rate of 0% on the 26 other DTR. During our validation, the 42 determined detection capabilities CCβ for 12 antibiotic families (aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, lincosamides, macrolides, miscellaneous antibiotics, penicillins, phenolated polymixins, polypeptide antibiotics, quinolones, sulphonamides, tetracyclines) were at between once and twice the decision levels stated by the manufacturer. Forty CCβ determined were lower than the respective regulatory limits (i.e. MRL, RC, MRPL) in milk, except for tilmicosin (1.5 times the MRL) and neospiramycin (>1.25 times the MRL). The estimated CCβ of thiamphenicol, cloxacillin, danofloxacin, sulphathiazol, ceftiofur and sulphamonomethoxine were lower than or at the MRL. However, it was difficult to approach an accurate CCβ with only qualitative results. It is impossible to know whether or not we were close to the cut-off value. The software could be improved by differentiating between low-positive and high-positive results. The results of our participation in three qualitative proficiency tests in 2016 and 2017 for the detection of quinolones, tetracyclines and sulphonamides in cows' milk were very satisfactory.

Abstract
Global food and water safety issues have prompted the development of highly sensitive, specific, and fast analytical techniques for food and water analysis. The electrochemical aptamer-based detection platform (E-aptasensor) is one of the more promising detection techniques because of its unique combination of advantages that renders these sensors ideal for detection of a wide range of target analytes. Recent research results have further demonstrated that this technique has potential for real world analysis of food and water contaminants. This review summaries the recently developed E-aptasensors for detection of analytes related to food and water safety, including bacteria, mycotoxins, algal toxins, viruses, drugs, pesticides, and metal ions. Ten different electroanalytical techniques and one opto-electroanalytical technique commonly employed with these sensors are also described. In addition to highlighting several novel sensor designs, this review also describes the strengths, limitations, and current challenges this technology faces, and future development trend.

Abstract
There is a growing need to monitor anthropogenic organic contaminants detected in water sources. DNA aptamers are synthetic single-stranded oligonucleotides, selected to bind to target contaminants with favorable selectivity and sensitivity. These aptamers can be functionalized and are used with a variety of sensing platforms to develop sensors, or aptasensors. In this critical review, we (1) identify the state-of-the-art in DNA aptamer selection, (2) evaluate target and aptamer properties that make for sensitive and selective binding and sensing, (3) determine strengths and weaknesses of alternative sensing platforms, and (4) assess the potential for aptasensors to quantify environmentally relevant concentrations of organic contaminants in water. Among a suite of target and aptamer properties, binding affinity is either directly (e.g., organic carbon partition coefficient) or inversely (e.g., polar surface area) correlated to properties that indicate greater target hydrophobicity results in the strongest binding aptamers, and binding affinity is correlated to aptasensor limits of detection. Electrochemical-based aptasensors show the greatest sensitivity, which is similar to ELISA-based methods. Only a handful of aptasensors can detect organic pollutants at environmentally relevant concentrations, and interference from structurally similar analogs commonly present in natural waters is a yet-to-be overcome challenge. These findings lead to recommendations to improve aptasensor performance.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance and, accordingly, their pollution because of uncontrolled usage has emerged as a serious problem in recent years. Hence, there is an increased demand to develop robust, easy, and sensitive methods for rapid evaluation of antibiotics and their residues. Among different analytical methods, the aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have attracted considerable attention because of good selectivity, specificity, and sensitivity. This review gives an overview about recently-developed aptasensors for antibiotic detection. The use of various aptamer assays to determine different groups of antibiotics, like β-lactams, aminoglycosides, anthracyclines, chloramphenicol, (fluoro)quinolones, lincosamide, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides are presented in this paper.

Abstract
We designed and constructed a novel aptasensor based on the porous nanostructured bimetallic NiFe-oxides embedded with the mesoporous carbon (represented by NiOxFeOy@mC) for sensitively detecting adenosine triphosphate (ATP), of which the porous NiOxFeOy@mC was derived from the hollow NiFe Prussian blue analogue (hollow NiFe PBA) by calcinating under high temperature. Owning to the excellent electrochemical activity originated from the metal oxides and mesoporous carbon and the strong binding interaction between the aptamer strands and the nanostructure hybrid, the formed porous NiOxFeOy@mC composite calcinated at 900 °C exhibited superior sensitivity toward ATP determination in comparison with other porous nanocubes obtained at 500 and 700 °C. The proposed aptasensor not only revealed a wide linear range from 5.0 fg·mL-1 to 5.0 ng mL-1 with a extremely low detection limit of 0.98 fg·mL-1 (1.62 fM) (S/N = 3), but also displayed high selectivity towards other interferences, good stability and reproducibility, and acceptable applicability. Therefore, this proposed approach provides a promising platform for ultra-sensitive detection of ATP, further having the potential applications on diagnosis of ATP-related diseases.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are a serious global problem, which not only take an enormous human toll but also incur tremendous economic losses. In combating infectious diseases, rapid and accurate diagnostic tests are required for pathogen identification at the point of care (POC). In this review, investigations of diagnostic strategies for infectious diseases that are based on aptamers, especially nucleic acid aptamers, oligonucleotides that have high affinities and specificities toward their targets, are described. Owing to their unique features including low cost of production, easy chemical modification, high chemical stability, reproducibility, and low levels of immunogenicity and toxicity, aptamers have been widely utilized as bio-recognition elements (bio-receptors) for the development of infection diagnostic systems. We discuss nucleic acid aptamer-based methods that have been developed for diagnosis of infections using a format that organizes discussion according to the target pathogenic analytes including toxins or proteins, whole cells and nucleic acids. Also included is, a summary of recent advances made in the sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria utilizing the isothermal nucleic acid amplification method. Lastly, a nucleic acid aptamer-based POC system is described and future directions of studies in this area are discussed.

Abstract
A dual-target electrochemical aptasensor was developed for the simultaneous detection of multiple antibiotics based on metal ions as signal tracers and nanocomposites as signal amplification strategy. Metal ions such as Cd2+ and Pb2+ could generate distinct differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) peaks. When targets were present, kanamycin (KAN) and streptomycin (STR) as models, the KAN aptamer (KAP) and STR aptamer (STP) were released from their complementary strands, with more change of Cd2+ and Pb2+ corresponding to peak currents. At the same time, complementary strand of KAP (cKAP) and STP (cSTP) were linked with the poly (A) structure (cSTP-PolyA-cKAP) to increase their conformational freedom. Graphitized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTGr) and carbon nanofibers-gold nanoparticles (CNFs-AuNPs) as a biosensor platform enhanced the surface area to capture a large amount of cSTP-PolyA-cKAP, thus amplifying the detection response. Under the optimal conditions, the aptasensor could detect KAN and STR as low as 74.50 pM and 36.45 pM respectively with the range from 0.1 to 100 nM and exhibited excellent selectively. Moreover, this aptasensor showed promising applications for the detection of other analytes by changing corresponding aptamers.
