A highly sensitive and specific SPR-based competitive immunoassay for the detection of Thiabendazole (TBZ) has been developed. An indirect format where a TBZ-protein conjugate is immobilized onto gold surfaces has been selected. Under the optimal conditions, a LOD of 0.67 nM (0.13 μg L(-1)) and an IC(50) of 3.2 nM (0.64 μg L(-1)) have been achieved which are comparable to the values obtained by conventional ELISA. Analysis of real samples has been attempted by first evaluating the influence of complex matrix samples coming from whole oranges and secondly measuring samples containing TBZ previously evaluated by chromatographic methods. A methanolic extraction procedure followed by a simple dilution in assay buffer has proven to be sufficient to measure orange samples using the developed immunoassay with an excellent recovery percentage. The sensitivity and the feasibility of measuring whole orange samples demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the SPR biosensor, which can be useful for the determination of TBZ in food at concentrations below the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) established by the European legislation.

Micronutrient deficiencies remain a great public health challenge worldwide with iron, zinc, and vitamin A being the most problematic. It has been shown that biofortification through agronomic strategies can increase their micronutrient content, but data on the bioavailability remain limited. In Senegal, consumption of cereals and legumes is high, and orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP), rich in β-carotene, has been introduced a decade ago.

This study investigated the adsorptive properties of functionalized fabric containing dimethylaminomethyl calix[4]arene (DMAM-Calix) to remove anionic methyl orange (MO) and cationic Rhodamine B (RhB) dyes in aqueous media. Adsorption studies were performed using a filtration system packed with DMAM-Calix-functionalized fabric (). The results revealed that the cationic and anionic structures work compatibly in a binary mixture medium.

Exfoliative cytology has proven to be a valuable diagnostic tool in the early detection of malignant neoplasms. However, its application in the oral cavity has been met with skepticism and limited investigation due to the perception that clinical examination alone is sufficient for early diagnosis. Nonetheless, recent research efforts have focused on the utility of exfoliative cytology in oral cavity neoplasms, motivated by the high mortality rate associated with oral cancer.

Within the realm of lateral flow assay (LFIA), the conjugation efficiency between signal tracers and antibody constitutes a pivotal determinant for the sensitivity of the detection system. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) complex flower-like MoS self-assembled from 2D MoS, and natural plant polyphenols "Tannic acid" were introduced for surface modification. This composite material exhibits distinct colorimetric signals, excellent monoclonal antibody coupling efficiency, and commendable photothermal properties.
