Oriented-aptamer encoded magnetic nanosensor with laser-induced fluorescence for ultrasensitive test of okadaic acid.

Okadaic acid (OA) biotoxin acts a well-established inhibitor of protein phosphatase even a tumor promoter of human being, arouse great attention in safety monitoring. However, the powerful and convenient nanosensing technologies for addressing the demands such as rapidity, high sensitivity, and stability in the in-field test of OA shellfish toxin is still scarce. Herein, a high-performance magnetic biometric nanosensor (MBNS) integrating oriented aptamers and ultrasensitive laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) was firstly proposed for the in-field detection of trace OA in seafoods.
