Abstract
Bioassays using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) have gained increasing attention because of the high sensitivity of ICP-MS and the various strategies of labeling biomolecules with detectable metal tags. The classic strategy to tag the target biomolecules is through direct antibody-antigen interaction and DNA hybridization, and requires the separation of the bound from the unbound tags. Label-free ICP-MS techniques for biomolecular assays do not require direct labeling: they generate detectable metal ions indirectly from specific biomolecular reactions, such as enzymatic cleavage. Here, we highlight the development of three main strategies of label-free ICP-MS assays for biomolecules: (1) enzymatic cleavage of metal-labeled substrates, (2) release of immobilized metal ions from the DNA backbone, and (3) nucleic acid amplification-assisted aggregation and release of metal tags to achieve amplified detection. We briefly describe the fundamental basis of these label-free ICP-MS assays and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of various designs. Future research is needed to reduce non-specific adsorption and minimize background and interference. Analytical innovations are also required to confront challenges faced by in vivo applications.

Abstract
It is well known that the coexisting metal ions could significantly influence the atomic spectroscopy (AS) analysis. In this work, a cation-modulated mercury ions (Hg2+) strategy via chemical vapor generation (CVG) was developed for oxalate assay due to the phenomenon that the Ag + can significantly reduce the Hg2+ signal. The regulation effect was studied in depth via experimental investigations. Since Ag + can be reduced to silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) by reductant SnCl2, the decrease of the Hg2+ signal is attributed to the formation of a silver-mercury (Ag-Hg) amalgam. Due to the oxalate can react with Ag + to generate Ag2C2O4, which can reduce the generation of Ag-Hg amalgam, a portable and low-power point discharge chemical vapor generation atomic emission spectrometry (PD-CVG-AES) system was constructed to quantify the content of oxalate via monitoring the signal of Hg2+. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 40 nM in the range of 0.1-10 μM for oxalate assay, while exhibiting good specificity. This method was applied to quantitative oxalate in 50 clinical urine samples of urinary stones patients. The levels of oxalate detected in clinical samples were consistent with clinical imaging results, which is promising for point-of-care testing in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Sensitive quantification of multiple analytes of interest is of great significance for clinical diagnosis. CRISPR Cas platforms offer a strategy for improving the specificity, sensitivity, and speed of nucleic acid-based diagnostics, while their multiplex analysis capability is still limited and challenging. Herein, we develop a novel DNA Tetrahedron (DTN)-supported biosensor based on the spatially separated CRISPR Cas self-amplification strategy and multiple-metal-nanoparticle tagging coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection to improve the sensitivity and feasibility of the platform for multiplex detection of HPV-DNA (HPV-16, HPV-18 and HPV-52). Given target DNA induces robust trans-cleavage activity of the Cas12a/crRNA duplex, and the surrounding corresponding single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) linker are cleaved into short fragments that are unable to bond metal-nanoparticle probes (197Au, 107Ag, 195Pt) onto DTN modified magnetic beads probe (MBs-DTN), resulting in obvious ICP-MS signal change. Of note, compared with ssDNA functionalized MBs, a higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio was obtained by using MBs-DTN in our system, further amplifying the signal by regulating probes on the surface of MBs. As expected, the HPV-DNA could be detected with detection limits as low as 218 fM and be multiplexed assayed at one test with high accuracy and specificity by this proposed strategy. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the HPV-DNA in cervical swab samples could be detected, showing high consistency with DNA sequencing results. We believe that this work provides a promising option in designing CRISPR based multiplex detection system for high sensitivity, good specificity, and clinical molecular diagnostics.

Abstract
We developed a label- and enzyme-free single molecule fluorescence counting strategy for HIV DNA fragments detection. The nucleic acid biosensor consists of a 5' terminal connected with a triangular gold nanoplate, 3' terminal rich in guanine hairpin probe (HP1) and a hairpin probe HP2 complementary to the partial sequence of HP1. Without the existence of the target DNA, the DNA fragment rich in the guanine region is locked in a hairpin structure and cannot form a G-quadruplex, hence NMM exhibits a low fluorescence signal. When the target DNA exists, the hairpin assembly will trigger a strand displacement amplification reaction that produces a great number of G-quadruplexes, and the fluorescence brightness of NMM will be enhanced. The plasmon resonance effect of the triangular gold nanoplates will further amplify the fluorescence signal. This method can analyze the target DNA with high sensitivity and selectivity, and the detection limit is 0.83 fM. The analysis of the HIV DNA fragments in diluted human serum samples was successfully achieved, and the recovery rate was 92%-104%. Because of its easy operation and low cost, it has broad development potential in biochemical analysis and clinical applications.

Abstract
Because of high sensitivity and specificity, isothermal nucleic acid amplification are widely applied in many fields. To facilitate and improve their performance, various nanomaterials, like nanoparticles, nanowires, nanosheets, nanotubes, and nanoporous films are introduced in isothermal nucleic acid amplification. However, the specific application, roles, and prospect of nanomaterials in isothermal nucleic acid amplification have not been comprehensively reviewed. Here, the application of different nanomaterials (0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D) in isothermal nucleic acid amplification is comprehensively discussed and recent progress in the field is summarized. The nanomaterials are mainly used for reaction enhancer, signal generation/amplification, or surface loading carriers. In addition, 3D nanomaterials can be also functioned as isolated chambers for digital nucleic acid amplification and the tools for DNA sequencing of amplified products. Challenges and future recommendations are also proposed to be better used for recent covid-19 detection, point-of-care diagnostic, food safety, and other fields.

Abstract
A signal-on supersandwich type of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) DNA biosensor was developed based on the poly(aniline-luminol) nanowires (PALNWs) modified electrode and enhancement of ferrocene (Fc) on ECL of luminol. Aminated capture DNA was covalently linked to the PALNWs on the electrode surface by the crosslinking of glutaraldehyde. In presence of target DNA, its 3' terminus hybridizes with the capture probe and the 5' terminus hybridizes with ferrocene labeled DNA (Fc-DNA) to form a long DNA concatamer supersandwich structure. The ECL intensity of the prepared biosensor was clearly improved by increasing the concentration of target DNA due to the enhancement of ferrocene on luminol ECL. The difference of the ECL intensity in the absence and presence of target DNA was used to monitor the hybridization event. The difference of ECL linearly increased with the logarithm of target DNA concentration in the range from 1.0 × 10-16 - 1.0 × 10-8 mol L-1 with a detection limit of 5.8 × 10-17 mol L-1. The sensor had high sensitivity and wide linear relationship for the detection of target DNA.

Abstract
Metal stable isotope tagging has demonstrated great and unique success in the multiplex and ratiometry-based accurate detection of biomolecules and single cells, while its sensitivity is regarded as an Achilles' heel. Although lanthanide nanoparticles remain the most promising tags for elemental mass spectrometry, there is no report on the lanthanide nanoparticle-based multiplex immunoassay of disease markers in clinical serum samples because of their tough synthesis and bioconjugation and a complex physiological sample matrix. Herein, to fill this gap, multiple lanthanide nanoparticle tags (NaEuF4, NaTbF4, and NaHoF4) were delicately designed and facilely synthesized with a one-pot solvothermal method for the multiplex evaluation of breast cancer biomarkers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA153, and CA125 in human serum samples. The proposed method exhibited wide linear ranges and low levels of the detection limit for all biomarkers. The test results were consistent with the routine electrochemiluminescence results in clinical serum samples, which proved the possibility of the early prognosis of breast cancer as well as improving the surgical outcome prediction.

Abstract
This work reported a simple and ultrasensitive label-free method for the detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA by combining hyperbranched rolling circle amplification (HRCA) with dual-mode detection by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and fluorescence using ruthenium complex [Ru(bpy)2dppz]2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, dppz = dipyrido [3,2-a:2',3'-c] phenazine) as a dual functional probe. An HBV DNA-initiated HRCA system was designed to realize the highly efficient amplification of HBV DNA with the generation of a mass of dsDNA. Also, the [Ru(bpy)2dppz]2+ probe was then added to intercalate into the dsDNA products, resulting in strong fluorescence recovery of the probe for fluorescence detection. Meanwhile, using a biotin-modified primer in HRCA, the dsDNA-[Ru(bpy)2dppz]2+ complexes could be captured by the avidin-coated 96-well plates, and the captured [Ru(bpy)2dppz]2+ probe was later desorbed by acid for ICP-MS detection. The linear range of the proposed method was 3.5-200 amol L-1 and the limit of detection (LOD) was 1 amol L-1 for ICP-MS detection, while the linear range was 20-500 amol L-1 and the LOD was 9.6 amol L-1 for fluorescence detection. The developed method was applied to human serum sample analysis, and the analytical results coincided very well with those obtained by the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The developed dual-mode label-free detection method was ultrasensitive, simple, and accurate, showing great potential for therapeutic monitoring of HBV infection.

Abstract
The multiple-metal-nanoparticle tagging strategy has generally been applied to the multiplexed detection of multiple analytes of interest such as microRNAs (miRNAs). Herein, it was used for the first time to improve both the specificity and sensitivity of a novel mass spectroscopic platform for miRNA detection. The mass spectroscopic platform was developed through the integration of the ligation reaction, hybridization chain reaction amplification, multiple-metal-nanoparticle tagging, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The high specificity resulted from the adoption of the ligation reaction is further enhanced by the multiple-metal-nanoparticle tagging strategy. The combination of hybridization chain reaction amplification and metal nanoparticle tagging endows the proposed platform with the feature of high sensitivity. The proposed mass spectrometric platform achieved quite satisfactory quantitative results for Let-7a in real-world cell line samples with accuracy comparable to that of the real-time quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction method. Its limit of detection and limit of quantification for Let-7a were experimentally determined to be about 0.5 and 10 fM, respectively. Furthermore, due to the unique way of utilizing the multiple-metal-nanoparticle tagging strategy, the proposed platform can unambiguously discriminate between the target miRNA and nontarget ones with single-nucleotide polymorphisms based on their response patterns defined by the relative mass spectral intensities among the multiple tagged metal elements and can also provide location information of the mismatched bases. Its unique advantages over conventional miRNA detection methods make the proposed platform a promising and alternative tool in the fields of clinical diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA), of which the abnormal intracellular expression highly associates with numerous pathological diseases, is considered as an important biomarker for early diagnosis and state monitoring of cancer. To avoid the tedious and vunerable labeling process, a series of novel label-free quantification methods for miRNA have been proposed. However, current label-free miRNA assays still require the presynthesis of a sensing unit as tags. Herein, we propose a "tag-free" methodology for miRNA quantification to realize the removal of sensing labels. Combining a concatenated-HCR (C-HCR) strategy and high-resolution inductive couple plasma mass spectrometry (HR-ICPMS) detection, we utilize phosphorus as a characteristic element to quantify the concentration of nucleotides. Benefiting from the excellent amplification performance of C-HCR and element analysis capacity of HR-ICPMS, a 13 fM limit of detection (LOD) was obtained. Ulteriorly, we verify the anti-interference performance of the proposed tag-free miRNA assay with a phosphate substrate-contained cell culture medium or nontarget miRNA. Furthermore, two cell lines of human cancer were chosen to evaluate the real biological sample analysis capacity. The good correlation data indicate promising prospects of the proposed tag-free methodology for the quantification of miRNA in tumor cells and further clinical applications.

Abstract
DNA-templated fluorescent nanoclusters (NCs) have attracted increasing research interest on account of their prominent features, such as DNA sequence-dependent fluorescence, easy functionalization, wide availability, water solubility, and excellent biocompatibility. Coupling DNA templates with complementary DNA, aptamers, G-quadruplex, and so on has generated a large number of sensors. Additionally, the preparation and applications of DNA-templated fluorescent NCs in these sensing have been widely studied. This review firstly focuses on the properties of DNA-templated fluorescent NCs, and the synthesis of DNA-templated fluorescent NCs with different metals is then discussed. In the third part, we mainly introduce the applications of DNA-templated fluorescent NCs for sensing metal ions. At last, we further discuss the future perspectives of DNA-templated fluorescent NCs in the synthesis and sensing metal ions in the environmental and biological fields.

Abstract
The development of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9 system has become a revolutionary step for genome engineering because it enables modification of target genomes. However, many biological applications with the CRISPR/Cas9 system are impeded by off-target effects and loci-dependent nuclease activity with various sgRNAs. Commonly used label-strategy-based CRISPR/Cas9 assays often suffer from possible disturbances to Cas9 activity and a time-consuming labeling procedure. Herein, we for the first time propose a DNA-templated CuNPs-based label-free CRISPR/Cas9 assay, with a low LOD of 0.13 nM and rapid detection in 35 min after CRISPR/Cas9 cleavage. Additionally, the site specificity of the DNA substrate was demonstrated. Through the proposed label-free strategy, a single-base change at a specific loci could lead to a significant reduction of the Cas9 cleavage effect, while the other common genetic modifications might be accepted by the CRIPR/Cas9 system. Therefore, the proposed label-free Cas9 assay may provide a new paradigm for the a priori in vitro CRISPR/Cas9 assay and exploration for in vivo biological applications.

Abstract
Nowadays, label-free atomic spectrometric bioassays are attracting great research interest because of their advantages of low cost, simple design and operation, etc. Herein, a novel and simple chemical vapor generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVG-AFS)/inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) label-free detection method is presented for highly sensitive and selective assay of DNA and proteins. This work mainly combined a phenomenon that CdTe quantum dots (QDs) can be used to selectively differentiate free Hg2+ and the T-Hg2+-T complex, with the use of simple membrane filtration separation to improve the performance of the label-free bioassay methods. Upon hybridization with the DNA/protein (carcinoembryonic antigen, CEA) target, the T-Hg2+-T hairpin structure was opened and Hg2+ was released; this initiated the cation exchange reaction between Hg2+ and CdTe QDs which released Cd2+ simultaneously. Subsequently, the free Cd2+ was separated by the filtration membrane without separating the CdTe QDs, which could then be separated from the sample matrices for the CVG-AFS/ICP-MS assay. Under the optimal conditions, this method possessed high sensitivity for DNA and CEA determination with limits of detection (LODs) of 0.2 nM and 0.2 ng mL-1, and linear dynamic ranges of 1-160 nM and 0.5-20 ng mL-1, respectively, and exhibited excellent DNA sequence specificity and protein selectivity. This method preserves the advantages of the label-free atomic spectrometric bioassay, and combined with the selective cation exchange reaction and simple filtration separation to improve the performance.

Abstract
Quick detection of DNA sequence is vital for many fields, especially, early-stage diagnosis. Here, we develop a graphene oxide-based fluorescence quenching sensor to quickly and accurately detect small amounts of a single strand of DNA. In this paper, fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles (FMNPs) modified with target DNA sequence (DNA-t) were bound onto the modified graphene oxide acting as the fluorescence quenching element. FMNPs are made of iron oxide (Fe3O4) core and fluorescent silica (SiO2) shell. The average particle size of FMNPs was 74 ± 6 nm and the average thickness of the silica shell, estimated from TEM results, was 30 ± 4 nm. The photoluminescence and magnetic properties of FMNPs have been investigated. Target oligonucleotide (DNA-t) was conjugated onto FMNPs through glutaraldehyde crosslinking. Meanwhile, graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were produced by a modified Hummers method. A complementary oligonucleotide (DNA-c) was designed to interact with GO. In the presence of GO-modified with DNA-c, the fluorescence intensity of FMNPs modified with DNA-t was quenched through a FRET quenching mechanism. Our study indicates that FMNPs can not only act as a FRET donor, but also enhance the sensor accuracy by magnetically separating the sensing system from free DNA and non-hybridized GO. Results indicate that this sensing system is ideal to detect small amounts of DNA-t with limitation detection at 0.12 µM.

Abstract
We report an inhibitory covalent labeling and clickable-element-tagging strategy for measuring the absolute activity of a protease in cells using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS). Epoxysuccinyl-leucine-tyrosine-6-aminocaproic-lysine-amino-Boc-alkyne (epoxysuccinyl-LYK-alkyne) was designed and synthesized to achieve irreversibly labeling of the cysteine cathepsins, recording their momentary activities. L and Y assisted epoxysuccinyl-LYK-alkyne in accessing the deprotonated -S- of Cys25, located at the bottom of the long cathepsin active domain. Quantitative Eu-tagging was followed using azido-DOTA-Eu through a bioorthogonal 1:1 copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne-cycloaddition click reaction. The Eu tag could be absolutely quantified using 153Eu-species-nonspecific-isotope-dilution ICPMS coupled with HPLC, serving as a Eu ruler and allowing us to simultaneously measure the pH-dependent activities of cathepsins B, L, and S as well as the pH in the lysosomal microenvironment of liver cancerous C7721 and paracancerous C7701 cells. As long as suitable labeling molecules and elemental tags are designed and synthesized, we believe that such a tandem labeling and tagging ICPMS approach can be applied to the measurement of the activities of other proteases in cells, providing more accurate information on the proteases' biofunctions and thus implementing precise clinical diagnoses.

Abstract
During the last decades, by virtue of their unique physicochemical properties and potential application in microelectronics, biosensing and biomedicine, metal nanomaterials (MNs) have attracted great research interest and been highly developed. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a particularly interesting ligand for templating bottom-up nanopreparation, by virtue of its excellent properties including nanosized geometry structure, programmable and artificial synthesis, DNA-metal ion interaction and powerful molecular recognition. DNA-templated copper nanoparticles (DNA-CuNPs) has been developed in recent years. Because of its advantages including simple and rapid preparation, high efficiency, MegaStokes shifting and low biological toxicity, DNA-CuNPs has been highly exploited for biochemical sensing from 2010, especially as a label-free detection manner, holding advantages in multiple analytical technologies including fluorescence, electrochemistry, surface plasmon resonance, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. This review comprehensively tracks the preparation of DNA-CuNPs and its application in biosensing, and highlights the potential development and challenges regarding this field, aiming to promote the advance of this fertile research area.

Abstract
Accurate, sensitive, and selective detection of explosives is of vital importance in antiterrorism and homeland security. Fluorescence sensors are prevalent for sensitive and fast in-field explosive detection but are sometimes compromised by accuracy and stability due to the similar structures of explosives, photobleaching, and complex sample matrixes. Herein, we developed a first bimodal methodology capable of both sensitive in-field fluorescence detection and accurate laboratory mass spectrometric quantification of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) by utilizing the characteristic fluorescent and mass spectrometric response of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs). An excellent selectivity was also realized by involving aptamer recognition. The methodology is capable of detecting TNT at subpart per trillion (PPT) levels, with a detection limit of 0.32 pg mL-1 by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) and 0.17 ng mL-1 by fluorimetry. The signal response was accurate and stable for at least 60 days by ICPMS. Thanks to the biospecificity of the aptamer, this bimodal methodology is potentially applicable to a large panel of explosives.
