Thin-core fiber-optic biosensor for DNA hybridization detection
摘要： A real-time label-free DNA biosensor based on thin-core fiber (TCF) interferometer is demonstrated experimentally. The proposed biosensor is constructed by splicing a TCF between two segments of single mode fibers (SMFs) and integrated into a microfluidic channel. By modifying the TCF surface with monolayer poly-l-lysine (PLL) and single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA) probes, the target DNA molecules can be captured in the microfluidic channel. The transmission spectra of the biosensor are measured and theoretically analyzed under different biosensing reaction processes. The results show that the wavelength has a blue-shift with the process of the DNA hybridization. Due to the advantages of low cost, simple operation as well as good detection effect on DNA molecules hybridization, the proposed biosensor has great application prospects in the fields of gene sequencing, medical diagnosis, cancer detection and environmental engineering.

A portable and universal upconversion nanoparticle-based lateral flow assay platform for point-of-care testing
摘要： Upconversion nanoparticle-based lateral flow assays (UCNP-LFAs) have attracted significant attention in point-of-care testing (POCT) applications, due to the long-term photostability and enhanced signal-to-background noise ratio. The existing UCNP-LFAs generally require peripheral equipment for exciting fluorescent signals and reading out fluorescence results, which are generally bulky and expensive. Herein, we developed a miniaturized and portable UCNP-LFA platform, which is composed of a LFA detection system, an UCNP-LFA reader and a smartphone-assisted UCNP-LFA analyzer. The LFA detection system is based on three types of UCNPs for multiplexed detection. The reader has a dimension of 24.0 cm×9.4 cm×5.4 cm (L×W×H) and weight of 0.9 kg. The analyzer based on the custom-designed software of a smartphone (termed as UCNP-LFA analyzer) can get the quantitative analysis results in a real-time manner. We demonstrated the universality of this platform by highly sensitive and quantitative detections of several kinds of targets, including small molecule (ochratoxin A, OTA), heavy metal ion (Hg2+), bacteria (salmonella, SE), nucleic acid (hepatitis B virus, HBV) and protein (growth stimulation expressed gene 2, ST-2). Our developed UCNP-LFA platform holds great promise for applications in disease diagnostics, environmental pollution monitoring and food safety at the point of care.

A Fluorescent Supramolecular Biosensor for Bacterial Detection via Binding-Induced Changes in Coiled-Coil Molecular Assembly
摘要： The essential elements required for any sensors are a receptor, a signal converter, and a detector. Here, we report the construction of bacterial biosensors in which all of the required biosensor elements are furnished in one supramolecular assembly. The supramolecular biosensor is based on a double-layered octa-helical coiled-coil peptide assembly that contains tetravalent bioreceptors on the outer surface and environment-sensitive fluorophores in the core. The signal conversion takes advantage of the noncovalent and reversible nature of the self-assembled system, i.e., the multivalent binding of bacteria induces conformational changes in the supramolecular state, which is translated into differential fluorescence emissions. We show that fluorescent supramolecular biosensors (fSBs) can selectively detect E. coli over other bacteria. Because the fSBs were resistant to heat-induced denaturation, they retained their bacterial-sensing capability even at an elevated temperature (50 ℃). Biosensors based on responsive supramolecular assemblies can be further developed to detect various large and flat biological objects and biomacromolecules.

Photo-Sensitive Pb5S2I6 Crystal Incorporated Polydopamine Biointerface Coated on Nanoporous TiO2 as an Efficient Signal-on Photoelectrochemical Bioassay for Ultrasensitive Detection of Cr(VI) ions
摘要： An ultrasensitive Visible light-triggered photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was designed based on ideal photoactive lead sulfoiodide (Pb5S2I6) as low band gap crystal, which hydrothermally synthesized rapidly at low temperature (160°C) in hydrochloride acid media followed by its incorporation into polydopamine as reactive photo-biointerface, through a facile in situ electropolymerization method, coated on nanoporous TiO2 grown by anodization on Ti foil. The structure of as-prepared samples and their photoelectrochemical properties were fully characterized. This unique photo-sensitive Pb5S2I6 catalyst-based PEC bioassay was constructed for the detection of low-abundant Cr(VI) ion in real samples. Applying central composite design, individual and mutual interaction effects were evaluated to obtain optimized solution pH, applied potential and radiant light wavelength as operational factors influencing the PEC efficiency for Cr(VI) detection. At optimal condition, the proposed sensor due to effective suppress in electron–hole recombinations showed a very low detection limit of 3.0 nM, over a broad linear concentration range of 0.01 μM-80 μM in addition to high sensitivity versus 1.9 μA/μM Cr(VI). Proposed PEC sensor displayed high selectivity, reproducibility and stability as well as improved excitation conversion efficiency, which make it highly applicable using solar energy. The potential applicability of the designed sensor was evaluated in water, tomato juice and hair color.

Photoelectrochemical Biosensor Based on Co3O4 Nanoenzyme Coupled with PbS Quantum Dots for Hydrogen Peroxide Detection
摘要： A novel kind of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was constructed based on Co3O4 and PbS nanomaterials modified indium tin oxide (ITO) photoelectrode. The Co3O4 nanoparticles, as mimic enzyme of catalase (CAT), can catalyze H2O2 to generate oxygen (O2) in suit. Then the electron acceptor of O2 enhances the cathodic photocurrent of the photoelectrode. The PEC sensor exhibited high sensitivity because of the formation of p-p type heterostructure between PbS and Co3O4 semiconductors. The photocurrent enhancement can be used to detect concentration of H2O2. The calibration plot was linear in the range from 5 to 250 μM and the detection limit was estimated to be 1.2 μM. The results demonstrated the possibility of nanozyme application in PEC biosensors and the substitution of Co3O4 nanozyme for the natural enzyme.

Photoelectrochemical biosensor for microRNA detection based on a MoS2/g-C3N4/black TiO2 heterojunction with Histostar@AuNPs for signal amplification
摘要： Herein, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of microRNA-396a based on a MoS2/g-C3N4/black TiO2 heterojunction as the photoactive material and gold nanoparticles carrying Histostar antibodies (Histostar@AuNPs) for signal amplification. Briefly, MoS2/g-C3N4/black TiO2 was deposited on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode surface, after which gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and probe DNA were assembled on the modified electrode. Hybridization with miRNA-396a resulted in a rigid DNA:RNA hybrid being formed, which was recognized by the S9.6 antibody. The captured antibody can further conjugate with the secondary IgG antibodies of Histostar@AuNPs, thereby leading to the immobilization of horse radish peroxidase (HRP). In the presence of HRP, the oxidation of 4-chloro-1-naphthol (4-CN) by H2O2 was accelerated, producing the insoluble product benzo-4-chlorohexadienone on the electrode surface and causing a significant decrease in the photocurrent. The developed biosensor could detect miRNA-396a at concentrations from 0.5 fM to 5000 fM, with a detection limit of 0.13 fM. Further, the proposed method can also be used to investigate the effect of heavy metal ions on the expression level of miRNAs. Results suggest that the biosensor developed herein offers a promising platform for the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA.

Electrochemiluminescence sensing platform for ultrasensitive DNA analysis based on resonance energy transfer between graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots and gold nanoparticles
摘要： Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is considered as a powerful technique in the fabrication of biosensor, however, the inherent toxicity of the heavy metal ion containing in QDs limits their further applications. Thus, searching for environment-friendly luminescent nanomaterials with high electrochemiluminescence (ECL) e?ciency is an urgent goal. In this work, a solid-state method under low temperature was adopted to prepare graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-CNQDs). By using coreactant K2S2O8, a strong cathodic ECL signal of g-CNQDs could be observed in phosphate bu?er. A novel ECL resonance energy transfer procedure was constructed between g-CNQDs (emitter) and gold nanoparticles (acceptor). A signal probe was formed by connecting gold nanoparticles at the hairpin DNA (Hai-DNA) terminal. When the signal probe was anchored on g-CNQDs, ECL resonance energy transfer occurred due to the ECL quenching of gold nanoparticles to g-CNQDs. This phenomenon decreased the ECL signal. In the presence of target DNA (T-DNA), the looped structure of Hai-DNA could be destroyed by T-DNA, and gold nanoparticles were separated from g-CNQDs. Accordingly, the ECL resonance energy transfer procedure was hindered, and the ECL signal was recovered again. The ECL intensities exhibited linear correlation with the logarithm of T-DNA concentration from 0.02 fM to 0.1 pM, and the limit of detection was 0.01 fM (3σ). With the developed ECL resonance energy transfer system, good selectivity and high sensitivity were achieved in T-DNA detection.

Near-infrared-light-triggered photoelectrochemical biosensor for detection of alpha-fetoprotein based on upconversion nanophosphors
摘要： A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on hybrids of NaYF4:Yb, Tm， zinc oxide (ZnO) and cadmium sulfide (CdS) was constructed to detect alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), which possesses the advantages of low background noise and non-damage to the biological substance. Herein, we prepared NaYF4:Yb,Tm/ZnO/CdS composite film electrode by pulsed laser deposition. The selected materials of ZnO and CdS can make full use of the upconversion luminescence (~360nm, ~480nm) of NaYF4:Yb,Tm nanophosphors under 980nm laser excitation. Meanwhile, an effective matching of energy levels between the conduction bands of CdS and ZnO can prompt photoelectrochemical performance of the electrode. The biosensor shows ultrasensitive detection of AFP with a wide linear range from 0.01 ng mL-1 to 200 ng mL-1 and a low detection limit of 5 pg mL-1. Therefore, the proposed PEC biosensor based on upconversion nanophosphors is potentially attractive for achieving excellent photoelectrochemical biosensor for detection of other cancer markers in clinical analysis.

Construction of an oxygen detection-based optic laccase biosensor for polyphenolic compound detection
摘要： A fiber optic biosensor was constructed from Pleurotus ostreatus laccase for the detection of polyphenolic compounds. Laccase was immobilized on the surface of the commercially available fiber optic oxygen sensor spots by using 3-aminopropylsilanetriol, tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS), glutaraldehyde, and amino-modified carboxycellulose. A diffusion layer containing trimethoxymethylsilane (Tri-MOS), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was added to the immobilized laccase layer. The consumption of oxygen as a result of laccase activity was monitored using a fiber optical measuring setup with catechol as a model substrate. The optimal enzyme amount was determined as 1.5 mg per 50 μL of enzyme layer mixture, and with one diffusion layer and at pH 6.9, optimum detection conditions were attained. The biosensors have high reproducibility, stability (at least 85 days if stored in PBS at 4 °C), and convenient measurement duration (ca. 25 min between two successive measurements). The biosensor was found to have a broad linear working range for catechol (40–600 μM) and to be applicable to a flow-through system. In summary, an easy-to-produce, reproducible, and stable laccase sensor with a broad linear working range was produced. The sensor has potential in the food industry as well as in environmental monitoring for the detection of phenolic compounds.
