Nucleic acid detection of pathogens in a point-of-need (PON) manner is of great significance yet remains challenging for sensitive and accurate visual discrimination. Here, we report a CRISPR-Cas12a-mediated lateral flow assay for PON detection of () that is a prevailing pathogen disseminated through tainted food. The variation of the fluorescence color of the test line is exploited to interpret the results, enabling the discrimination between positive and negative samples on the basis of a hue-recognition mechanism.

Here, we report a novel hue recognition competitive fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay (HCLFIA) strip that allows both visual and quantitative detection of aflatoxin M (AFM). The HCLFIA strip works on the basis of the ratiometric change of emission, arising from the overlap of fluorescence signals of two nanocomposites tagged with probe antibodies and coated antigens.

The fiber coating demonstrated a porous and uniform surface with the BET specific surface of 169.7 m g.
