Abstract
BACKGROUND The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a major worldwide health problem. Nowadays, many methods have been developed for quantitative detecting human immunodeficiency virus DNA (HIV-DNA), such as fluorescence and colorimetry. However, these methods still have the disadvantages of being expensive and requiring professional technicians. Early diagnosis of pathogens is increasingly dependent on portable instruments and simple point-of-care testing (POCT). Therefore, it is meaningful and necessary to develop portable and cheap methods for detecting disease markers. RESULTS In this work, a label-free chemiluminescence (CL) method was developed for detecting HIV-DNA via a handheld luminometer. To achieve label-free target detection, the CL catalyst, G-triplex-hemin DNAzyme (G3-hemin DNAzyme), was in-situ assembled in the presence of HIV-DNA. For improving sensitivity, HIV-DNA induced the cyclic strand displacement reaction (SDR), which can form three G3-hemin DNAzymes in one cycle. So, the chemiluminescence reaction between luminol and H2O2 was highly effectively catalyzed, and the CL intensity was linearly related with the concentration of HIV-DNA in the range of 0.05-10 nM with a detection limit of 29.0 pM. Due to the high specificity of hairpin DNA, single-base mismatch can be discriminated, which ensured the specific detection of HIV-DNA. SIGNIFICANCE In-situ formation of G3-hemin DNAzyme led to label-free and selective detection without complex synthesis and functionalization. Therefore, it offers a cheap, selective, sensitive and portable method for detecting disease-related genes, which is promising for POCT of clinical diagnosis in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Simple and sensitive discrimination of multiple bacteria and antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) are significant for food safety, clinical diagnosis and treatment. Herein, based on different metabolic ability of bacteria on glucose, we presented a colorimetric sensor array for point-of-care testing (POCT) of multiple bacteria with methyl red (MER), bromothymol blue (BTB) and bromocresol green (BCG) as probes. Different bacteria resulted in different color changes of three probes, which was converted to RGB (Red (R)/Green (G)/Blue (B)) signals by the color recognizer APP loaded on smartphone. The sensor array performed differentiation of eleven species of bacteria, achieving the quantitative analysis of individual bacteria in tap water and differentiation of bacterial mixtures. Interestingly, the sensor array can be used for AST and evaluating minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics to bacteria. The research provided meaningful guidance for distinguishing multiple bacteria and evaluating MIC, presenting great potential in practical application.

Abstract
T-2 toxin is one of the naturally dangerous food contaminants, which is harmful to people and animals. Because of its strong toxicity and wide distribution, it is vital to develop a rapid and effective method for the detection of T-2 toxin. Herein, an excellent hydrogel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) chip is constructed for developing a novel SERS sensor to detect T-2 toxin using a portable Raman spectrometer. The SERS chip is prepared by in-situ Ca2+-mediated assembly of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in PVA solution, followed by a physical crosslinking possess. The assembled AgNPs produces a strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) at around 532 nm, which enables the high activity of SERS chip under the irradiation of 532 nm laser. Additionally, the unique structure of hydrogel makes the obtained chip show excellent reliability and anti-interference ability in detection. As a result, the developed SERS sensor shows many obvious advantageous including free of complex sample pretreatment (only a simple extraction), fast response (5 min), low limit of detection (0.41 ppb), wide detection range (1-10000 ppb), good recoveries (90.26-101.81 %) and relative standard deviations (2.8-6.7 %). Therefore, this SERS sensor provides a promising choice for rapid scanning and sensitive detection of trace T-2 toxin in complex matrices.

Abstract
Laser-scribed graphene (LSG), a promising electrode material has attracted special research interest in recent years. Here, the fabricating process-electrochemical property correlation of laser-scribed graphene (LSG) devices was discussed emphatically and a pertinent optimization was performed to achieve better electroanalytical performance. Experiment results indicated that the laser scribing technique possessed great process latitude and reducing laser power and scribing speed facilitated fabricating high-quality graphene electrodes. Benefiting from its binder-free 3D porous network structure and high active/geometric area ratio, the optimized LSG electrode was superior to the screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) on electrochemical performance in the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox system. Integrating the LSG electrode with a homemade hand-held detector, a portable electrochemical sensing platform with smartphone readout was developed. It realized a specific detection of H2O2 (linear range: 0.02-3.4 mM, sensitivity: 24.56 μA mM-1 cm-2), glucose (linear range: 0.04-4.0 mM, sensitivity: 16.35 μA mM-1 cm-2) by directly decorating biological enzymes without artificial redox mediator and featured a satisfactory comprehensive performance. The constructed immunosensor for tumor necrosis factor-α exhibited a wide linear range (2-500 pg mL-1) and a 4.3-fold enhancement in sensitivity compared with that of SPCE. With satisfactory selectivity, reproducibility, and sensitivity, the developed smartphone-based electrochemical sensing platform held great promise in accurate detection on the spot. This work also provided a significant reference for tailoring binder-free carbonaceous electrode materials toward the desired application.

Abstract
Influenza A virus (IAV) can cause influenza, a highly infectious zoonotic respiratory disease, and early detection is essential to prevent and control its rapid spread in the population. Given the limitations of traditional detection methods in clinical laboratories, we report a large surface TPB-DVA COFs (TPB: 1,3,5-Tris(4-aminophenyl) benzene, DVA: 1,4-Benzenedicarboxaldehyd, COFs: Covalent organic frameworks) nanomaterial modified electrochemical DNA biosensor, which has dual-probe specific recognition and signal amplification. The biosensor enables quantitative detection of influenza A viruses' complementary DNA (cDNA) from 10 fM to 1 × 103 nM (LOD = 5.42 fM) with good specificity and high selectivity. The reliability of the biosensor and portable device was verified by comparing the virus concentrations in animal tissues with those measured by digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) (P > 0.05). Moreover, the potential for influenza surveillance in this work was demonstrated by detecting the tissue samples from mice at different stages of infection. In summary, the good performance of this electrochemical DNA biosensor we proposed suggested it has the potential to be a rapid detection device for the influenza A virus, which could assist doctors or other professionals in obtaining rapid and accurate results for outbreak investigation and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a simultaneous readout of pressure and temperature dual-signals platform based on the second near-infrared (NIR II) light response-based polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized-AuPt nanoparticles (NPs)@CuS nanosheets (PDA/AuPt@CuS NS) composite. Due to the excellent NIR photothermal performance of PDA/AuPt@CuS NS, it contribute to the decomposition of H2O2 and NH4HCO3 to generate gases (including O2, CO2, and NH3) can be promoted, which can amplify the pressure signals in a sealed container. A sandwich mode is formed between Fe3O4 NPs and PDA/AuPt@CuS NS based on the dual-aptamer when target pathogenic bacteria is present. And, it is possible to convert the molecular recognition signals between the dual-aptamers into amplified pressures and temperatures, which can be read out by a portable pressure meter and smartphones simultaneously. It may offer the possibility for quantitative POCT analysis of Pathogenic Bacteria. Moreover, because of the high photothermal efficiency of this method, the developed dual-mode method can achieve that following the detection of bacteria and killing them immediately. As a result, secondary contamination is eliminated and bacterial transmission is avoided. The developed dual-signal sensing platform is also inexpensive, simple to operate and rapidly, indicating that it can be used for food safety analysis, clinical applications, and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
The potential of enzyme-encapsulated metal-organic framework (MOF) as an antibody label for the construction of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is demonstrated. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90) was employed as a MOF model to load urease and pig immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody. This leads to the production of U@ZIF-90/IgG composite, in which urease was encapsulated in ZIF-90 to form U@ZIF-90 for amplifying the detection signal, while IgG was anchored on the surface of U@ZIF-90 for specifically recognizing Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Benefiting from the unique porous structure of ZIF-90, the U@ZIF-90 not only allows urease to be encapsulated with an ultrahigh loading efficiency, but also shields the loaded urease against harsh environments. The U@ZIF-90 shows a threefold higher catalytic activity than free urease due to the confinement effect. These findings lead to an ELISA with greatly enhanced sensitivity for S. aureus detection. By using a portable pH meter as a readout, the ELISA has a linear response that covers 10 to 109 CFU/mL S. aureus with a detection limit of 1.96 CFU/mL and exhibits high selectivity over other bacteria. The successful determination of S. aureus in milk samples demonstrates the applicability of the ELISA in a complex biological matrix.

Abstract
A reliable electrochemical biosensor is reported based on nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheets and gold nanoparticle (Au/N-G) nanocomposites for the event-specific detection of GM maize MIR162. The differential pulse voltammetry response of methylene blue (MB) was chosen to monitor the target DNA hybridization event. Under the optimum conditions, the peak current increased linearly with the logarithm of the concentration of DNA in the range 1.0 × 10-14 to 1.0 × 10-8 M, and the detection limit was 2.52 × 10-15 M (S/N = 3). It is also demonstrated that the DNA biosensor has high selectivity, good stability, and fabrication reproducibility. The biosensor has been effectively applied to detect MIR162 in real samples, showing its potential as an effective tool for GM crop analysis. These results will contribute to the development of new portable transgenic detection systems. Graphical abstract .

Abstract
Urgent demand for portable diagnosis has promoted a new sensing strategy that uses personal glucometer (PGM) to detect non-glucose targets. Even though great progresses have been achieved in terms of target range and sensing principle, issues such as low final signal-to-background ratio and hard-to-realize one-tube smart analysis still exist and challenge real-world applications in gene detection. Here we propose a practical solution via coupling isothermal amplification (i.e. LAMP) and three-way amplifiable catalytic hairpin assembly (i.e. CHA) to a PGM. It allows direct transduction from genomic information to commercial portable devices with all of ultra-high sensitivity, specificity and enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. Compared with previous report without signal amplification, the introduction of CHA has successfully improved the signal amplitude by at least 12.5 folds. More importantly, through importing an effective three-way junction based transduction, we also innovatively develop a one-tube logical or multiplex analysis strategy in PGM based detection. Totally four situations of two foodborne bacteria genes, in Cronobacter sakazakii (ompA) and Escherichia coli (malB), could be directly readout using the final PGM signals, with the lowest detection amount down to less than 100 molecular copies (6.6 × 10-18 M). It is believed such a LAMP-CHA-PGM method has been already sensitive, specific, and of great potential for practically portable gene diagnostics.

Abstract
It is of great value to develop general, low-cost and even household methods for colorectal cancer detection. Here, a portable detection strategy based on a personal glucose meter (PGM) was designed for meeting this purpose. In this strategy, the anti-EpCAM coated magnet beads (MBs) were used as capture probes for enriching cancer cells and the aptamer modified and invertase loaded graphene oxides (GO) were used as report probes for producing glucose signal. This method is sensitive with detection limit as low as 560 cells, and demonstrates excellent detection specificity. Meanwhile, we succeeded in the specific detection of target cells in 20% human serum samples, indicating this method has great prospect in clinical diagnosis. Moreover, this method presents favourable universality for detecting different colorectal cancer cells by just using different recognition aptamers. Importantly, this method can be implemented for the target cell detection at room temperature without any expensive and large-scale instruments but a portable PGM. Therefore, this portable detection method possesses great potential in point-of-care detection of colorectal cancer cells.

Abstract
The authors describe a novel method for the determination of glutathione (GSH). Detection is based on target induced release of glucose from MnO2 nanosheet-gated aminated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). In detail, glucose is loaded into the pores of MSNs. Negatively charged MnO2 nanosheets are assembled on the MSNs through electrostatic interactions. The nanosheets are reduced by GSH, and this results in the release of glucose which is quantified by using a commercial electrochemical glucose meter. GSH can be quantified by this method in the 100 nM to 10 μM concentration range, with a 34 nM limit of detection.

Abstract
The rapid detection of microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR), the most highly toxic among MCs, is significantly important to environmental and human health protection and prevention of MC-LR from being used as a bioweapon. Although aptamers offer higher affinity, specificity, and stability with MC-LR than antibodies in the immunodetection of MC-LR due to steric hindrance between two antibodies and limited epitopes of MC-LR for use in a sandwich immunoassay, no sandwich immunoassay using an aptmer has been developed for MC-LR detection. This study is aimed at developing an aptamer-antibody immunoassay (AAIA) to detect MC-LR using a portable analyzer. The aptamers were immobilized onto the glass surface of a microchamber to capture MC-LR. MC-LR and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled antibody were pulled into the microchamber to react with the immobilized aptamer. The chemiluminescence (CL) catalyzed by HRP was tested by a photodiode-based portable analyzer. MC-LR at 0.5-4.0 μg/L was detected quantitatively by the AAIA, with a CL signal sensitivity of 0.3 μg/L. The assay took less than 35 min for a single sample and demonstrated a high specificity, detecting only MC-LR, but not MC-LA, MC-YR, or nodularin-R. The recovery of two spiked real environmental samples calculated as 94.5-112.7%. Therefore, this AAIA was proved to be a rapid and simple method to detect MC-LR in the field by a single analyst.
