Published: April 2008

A new strategy for the encapsulation of magnetic nanobeads was developed by using the in situ self-assembly of an organic-inorganic hybrid polymer. The hybrid polymer of {[Cu(bpy)(BF(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](bpy)}(n) (bpy=4,4'-bipyridine) was constructed on the surface of amino-functionalized magnetic beads and the resulting hybrid-polymer-encapsulated beads were utilized as catalysts for the oxidation of silyl enolates to provide the corresponding alpha-hydroxy carbonyl compounds in high yield. After the completion of the reaction, the catalyst was readily recovered by magnetic separation and the recovered catalyst could be reused several times. Because the current method did not require complicated procedures for incorporating the catalyst onto the magnetic beads, the preparation and the application of various other types of organic-inorganic hybrid-polymer-coated magnetic beads could be possible.

Early detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is crucial for eliminating this silent killer, especially in resource-limited settings. HCV core antigen (HCVcAg) represents a promising alternative to the current "gold standard" HCV RNA assays as an active viremia biomarker. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemical magneto-immunosensor for the HCVcAg was developed.

Tetracycline (TC) is widely used in veterinary medicine and animal feed; however, TC residues in food pose a risk to human health. Thus, the sensitive and selective detection of TC is needed to ensure food safety. Herein, we developed a CRISPR-Cas12a biosensor with competitive aptamer binding to detect TC residues.

Rapid and accurate molecular diagnostics are crucial for preventing the global spread of emerging infectious diseases. However, the current gold standard for nucleic acid detection, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), relies heavily on traditional magnetic beads or silica membranes for nucleic acid extraction, resulting in several limitations, including time-consuming processes, the need for trained personnel, and complex equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for fully integrated nucleic acid detection technologies that are simple to operate, rapid, and highly sensitive to meet unmet clinical needs.

Accurate, sensitive and multiplexed detection of food-borne pathogens is crucial for assessing food safety risks. Here we present a digital DNA-amplification-free nucleic acid detection assay to achieve multiplexed and ultrasensitive detection of three food-borne pathogens. We used mesophilic Clostridium butyricum argonaute and magnetic beads in a digital carrier system (d-MAGIC).

Article Synopsis
  • Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is tough because they are present in low numbers and vary in characteristics, with traditional methods struggling for those with low EpCAM expression.
  • This study introduces a new approach using silica-coated magnetic nanobeads with streptavidin for better CTC capture.
  • The new method showed higher capture rates for specific cancer cell lines, especially those with low EpCAM expression, indicating its potential for improving CTC detection compared to existing commercial options.
