In this contribution, graphene oxide/gold nanoparticle (GO/AuNPs) hybrids were in situ fabricated through a green one-pot procedure by using tyrosine as an environment friendly and biocompatible reducing agent, which can be used as highly efficient surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates with the enhancement factor at 3.8 × 10(3). The as-prepared GO/AuNPs hybrids have good biocompatibility, providing the prospect of applications for biomedicine determinations. In addition, taking the advantages of the electromagnetic and chemical enhancement mechanism and the high affinity of GO and AuNPs towards positive dyes, a sensitive, selective and label-free malachite green (MG) detection method was demonstrated. The SERS measurement showed that the minimum detection concentration of MG in water was as low as 2.5 μmol L(-1) with a linear response range from 2.5 to 100 μmol L(-1) (R(2) = 0.996). Moreover, this method can be applied to detect MG in a fishery water sample with satisfactory results.

Article Synopsis
  • Antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, and Tobramycin are widely used but can lead to antibiotic resistance when their residues enter the environment.
  • Traditional monitoring methods for these antibiotics, such as LC-MS, are costly and complex, while nanoscale field-effect transistors (FETs) offer quick and sensitive alternatives but struggle with consistency in performance.
  • The study presents an innovative approach using thermally reduced graphene oxide FETs on printed circuit boards, achieving ultra-sensitive detection of antibiotics at femtomolar levels with machine learning, enabling effective monitoring of water contamination.

Background: Breast cancer CTCs have recently been recognized as an emerging biomarker for liquid biopsy of breast cancer. In this work, based on two-dimensional (2D) noble metal PtCo@rGO nanozymes and Au@CNTs bioconjugates, a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) cytosensor was developed in order to detect breast cancer CTCs (MCF-7) ultrasensitively.

Results: The PtCo@rGO nanozymes possessed large specific surface area and high efficiency peroxidase-like activity, which can be used as nanocarriers to anchor and catalyze luminol ECL emission efficiently.
