Histamine detection in fish samples based on indirect competitive ELISA method using iron-cobalt co-doped carbon dots labeled histamine antibody.

Due to complex matrixes and specific reagent deficiency, the rapid detection of histamine is still a challenge to date. Based on the high peroxidase-like activity of iron-cobalt co-doped carbon dots, an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) was established for histamine detection using the mimic enzyme labeled with histamine antibody (His-Ab). Through the competitive binding of the labeled His-Ab to solid-phase and sample antigens, histamine content was detected with a linear range of 2.

Aptamer-based fluorometric determination of chloramphenicol by controlling the activity of hemin as a peroxidase mimetic.

A method for the aptamer-based determination of chloramphenicol (CAP) was developed by exploiting the peroxidase mimicking activity of hemin. The method includes two hemin-modified DNA probes termed P1 and P2. P1, which was modified at its 5' end with one hemin monomer, contains the CAP-binding sequence.

Rapid detection of trace malachite green using a fluorescence probe based on signal amplification through electrostatic self-assembly of CdTe QDs and polystyrene microsphere.

A fluorescence probe was delicately designed for the detection of malachite green (MG) in water and fish samples. Through the electrostatic self-assembly of CdTe QDs on the surface of polystyrene (PS) microspheres, the fluorescence signal was amplified. After grafting molecularly imprinted film, the fluorescence probe of MIP@PS@CdTe was fabricated and applied to the detection of MG based on fluorescence quenching.

Molecularly imprinted polymer-based photonic crystal sensor array for the discrimination of sulfonamides.

In this paper, molecular imprinting and photonic crystal techniques were combined to construct a four-channel sensor array for the simultaneous identification of various sulfonamides. The assay was composed of four units. Three of these units were prepared using sulfaguanidine, sulfamethazine, or sulfathiazole as template molecules.

A dichromatic label-free aptasensor for sulfadimethoxine detection in fish and water based on AuNPs color and fluorescent dyeing of double-stranded DNA with SYBR Green I.

A dichromatic label-free aptasensor was described for sulfadimethoxine (SDM) detection. Compared with the binding of SDM-aptamer to SDM, the higher affinity of aptamer to cDNA may result in the hybridization of dsDNA. In the presence of SDM, the aptamer specifically binds to SDM, leading to a blue color of AuNPs in deposit and fluorescence at 530 nm in supernatant after adding cDNA and SGI.

Label-Free Fluorescence-Based Aptasensor for the Detection of Sulfadimethoxine in Water and Fish.

Fluorescence-based aptasensors possess high sensitivity but are complicated and usually require multistep labeling and modification in method design, which severely limit the practical applications. Here, a label-free fluorescence-based aptasensor, consisting of aptamer, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs), was developed for the detection of sulfadimethoxine (SDM) in water and fish based on the specific recognition of SDM-aptamer and the inner filter effect of QDs and AuNPs. In the absence of a target, AuNPs dispersed in salt solution because of the aptamer protection, which could effectively quench the fluorescence emission of QDs, while in the presence of SDM, AuNPs aggregated due to the specific recognition of SDM-aptamer to SDM, which resulted in fluorescence recovery.

Ratiometric fluorescence probe of MIPs@CdTe QDs for trace malachite green detection in fish.

A facile and practical ratiometric fluorescence probe based on two CdTe quantum dots (QDs) coated with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) was prepared for the detection of trace malachite green (MG) in fish. Two CdTe QDs coated with MIPs were fabricated by a one-pot method using MG, (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as template, functional monomer, and cross-linker, respectively. CdTe QDs with λ 530 nm (gQDs) and 630 nm (rQDs) were used as the referential fluorophore and target sensitive fluorophore, respectively.

Rapid detection of malachite green in fish based on CdTe quantum dots coated with molecularly imprinted silica.

A sensitive fluorescence sensor for the detection of malachite green (MG) was fabricated by grafting molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) onto the surface of CdTe quantum dots (QDs). The MIP-coated QDs were synthesized via a reverse microemulsion method using (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as functional monomer and cross-linker, respectively. The optimum molar ratio of MG, functional monomer and cross-linker was 1:3:10.

Biomimetic ELISA detection of malachite green based on molecularly imprinted polymer film.

A highly selective and sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the detection of malachite green (MG) using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film as bionic antibody. The MIP film, based on the self-polymerization of dopamine, was fabricated on the surfaces of a 96-well microplate. It showed specific recognition for MG in aqueous solution.

Biomimetic ELISA detection of malachite green based on magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers.

A direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used for the detection of malachite green (MG) with a high sensitivity and selectivity using magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) as a bionic antibody. MMIPs were prepared through emulsion polymerization using FeO nanoparticles as magnetic nuclei, MG as a template, methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a crosslinking agent and span-80/tween-80 as mixed emulsifiers. The MMIPs were characterized by scanning electron micrographs (SEM), thermal-gravimetric analyzer (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively.

Charge-transport in tin-iodide perovskite CH3NH3SnI3: origin of high conductivity.

The structural and electrical properties of a metal-halide cubic perovskite, CH(3)NH(3)SnI(3), have been examined. The band structure, obtained using first-principles calculation, reveals a well-defined band gap at the Fermi level. However, the temperature dependence of the single-crystal electrical conductivity shows metallic behavior down to low temperatures.
