A highly selective femtomolar level sensing of inorganic arsenic(III) as arsenious acid has been accomplished in water medium and in living-systems (on pollen grains of Tecoma stans; Candida albicans cells (IMTECH No. 3018) and Peperomia pellucida stem section) using a non-toxic fluorescent probe of a Cu(II)-complex.

Tumor-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has been exploited as an effective liquid biopsy biomarker for early cancer diagnosis. However, the fragmented and low-abundance nature in circulating blood pose challenges for highly sensitive cfDNA quantification. Herein, a multifunctional plasmonic biosensor termed Interfacial cfDNA Enrichment, Amplification and Sensing with on-chip Thermoplasmonics (INEAST) is developed for cfDNA-based liquid biopsy and lung cancer diagnosis.

Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window has great potential for improved phototheranostics, but lacks nonfluorescent, resonant and high-affinity Raman dyes. Herein, it is designed and synthesize a multi-sulfur Raman reporter, NF1064, whose maximum absorption of 1064 nm rigidly resonates with NIR-II excitation laser while possessing absolutely nonfluorescent backgrounds. Ultrafast spectroscopy suggests that the fluorescence quenching mechanism of NF1064 originates from twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) in the excited state.

Near-infrared (NIR) surface-enhanced resonance Raman (SERRS) nanoprobes have found wide applications in biomedicine; however, almost all of these nanoprobes are fluorescent because the resonant Raman dyes used cannot be fully quenched onto the underlying plasmonic nanoparticles. Therefore, suppressing the fluorescence backgrounds in resonant Raman spectroscopy imaging is extremely important. In this work, we use a black hole quencher, IQ1, as a Raman dye to develop absolutely nonfluorescent NIR resonant SERRS NPs.

Aflatoxin B (AFB) is a highly toxic substance found in food, necessitating rapid and sensitive detection methods. Combining interfacial capacitive sensing with AC electrothermal (ACET) enrichment, an aptasensor based on a PCB electrode array is developed for real-time detection of trace AFB. Owing to the sensitive solid-liquid capacitance with a pF-level resolution, AFB detection at sub-femtomolar level is achieved.

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising nanoprobes in DNA/RNA detection, such as respiratory viral RNAs, and siRNA in cancer. However, recent studies have indicated that the sensitivity of UCNP-based biosensors is restricted, ranging from picomolar to femtomolar level. Moreover, most of existing UCNP-based probes are only able to detect short-chain oligonucleotides, which are not suitable for detection of long-chain oligonucleotides in many real applications.
