We report a DNA-gold nanoparticle (DNA-GNP) based lateral flow nucleic acid biosensor for visual detection of microRNA (miRNA)-215 in aqueous solutions and biological samples with low-cost and short analysis time. Sandwich-type hybridization reactions among GNP-labeled DNA probe, miRNA-215 and biotin-modified DNA probes were performed on the lateral flow device. The accumulation of GNPs on the test zone of the biosensor enables the visual detection of miRNA-215. After systematic optimization, the biosensor was able to detect a minimum concentration of 60 pM miRNA-215. The biosensor was applied to detect miRNA-215 from A549 cell lysate directly without complex sample treatment, and the detection limit of 0.148 million cells was obtained. This study provides a simple, rapid, specific and low-cost approach for miRNA detection in aqueous solutions and biological samples, showing great promise for clinical application and biomedical diagnosis in some malignant diseases.

Hydroquinone (HQ) and copper ions (Cu) are categorized as environmental pollutants that are severely limited in water. Designing a selective assay for discriminating HQ from its two isomers and the convenient determination of Cu is of great importance. Herein, a Tb-based metal-organic framework (Tb-MOF) and HQ are assembled innovatively into a ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobe to selectively distinguish HQ and subsequent quantitative visual detection of Cu.

A simple and rapid colorimetric detection strategy, based on hydrogen bond identification of 6-thioguanine (6-TG) functionalized Au nanoparticles (AuNPs), is proposed for highly selective and sensitive determination of kanamycin (KA). In this strategy, the hydrogen bond interaction between 6-TG and kanamycin induces AuNPs to agglomerate, with a consequent color change of AuNPs from wine red to purple or even blue. The kanamycin concentrations can be quantified by employing UV-vis spectrophotometer.
