The CRISPR/Cas12a system is a powerful signal amplification tool that has been widely used in nucleic acid detection. It has also been applied to the assay of non-nucleic acid targets, mainly relying on strategies for converting target determination into nucleic acid detection. Herein, we describe a CRISPR/Cas12a-based fluorescence method for sensitive detection of the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) by utilizing a strategy of converting TAC determination into Mn detection.

Aptasensors for detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) have been extensively studied, but the majority of them require costly and large-scale equipment as signal readers. Herein, a photothermal aptasensor capable of portable detection of OTA through a thermometer was developed on basis of aptamer structural switching and rolling circle amplification (RCA)-enriched DNAzyme. Oligonucleotides and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) modified magnetic beads were prepared.

Alternaria is a plant pathogen that spreads globally and is prone to causing citrus brown spot disease and metabolizing mycotoxins, thus seriously hindering the development of this economic crop industry. Herein, a "label-free" and "turn on" visual fluorescent assay for citrus Alternaria based on CRISPR-Cas12a and rolling circle amplification (RCA) was described. Using ssDNA complementary to RCA primer as a trans-cleavage substrate for CRISPR-Cas12a, the two systems of CRISPR-Cas12a and RCA-amplified G-quadruplex were skillfully integrated.

Currently, the development of efficient mycotoxins detection methods, particularly using portable devices as readout devices, remains a great challenge. Herein, a photothermal enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on gold nanostars (AuNSs) for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) using a "thermometer" was proposed for the first time. AuNSs with photothermal conversion capacity were parepared using an ascorbic acid (AA)-mediated in situ growth methd.

is an endemic fungus associated with brown spot disease, which is one of the most serious citrus diseases. In addition, the mycotoxins metabolized by threaten human health seriously. Herein, a novel homogeneous and portable qualitative photothermal method based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), CRISPR/Cas12a, and rolling circle amplification (RCA) for the detection of is described.

The outbreak of citrus brown spot because of Alternaria is one of the most destructive citrus diseases. Additionally, Alternaria species produce highly toxic mycotoxins. Mass screening is a valid method to control the spread of Alternaria.
