An on-cell aptamer sensor has the potential to reveal cell-cell communications by signalling molecules. We attempted to design new fluorescent aptamer sensors for the sensing of IFN-γ and adenine compounds on cells. BODIPY-labeled external quencher-free aptamer sensors have allowed a turn-on detection of the target molecule with improved off/on efficiency.

A label-free, flexible, and disposable aptasensor was designed for the rapid on-site detection of vancomycin (VAN) levels. The electrochemical sensor was based on lab-printed carbon electrodes (C-PE) enriched with cauliflower-shaped gold nanostructures (AuNSs), on which VAN-specific aptamers were immobilized as biorecognition elements and short-chain thiols as blocking agents. The AuNSs, characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), enhanced the electrochemical properties of the platform and the aptamer immobilization active sites.

Flavokavain B (FKB), a hepatotoxic chalcone from (kava), has raised safety concerns due to its role in disrupting redox homeostasis and inducing apoptosis in hepatocytes. Conventional chromatographic methods for FKB detection, while sensitive, are costly and impractical for field applications. In this work, DNA aptamers were selected using the library-immobilized method and high-throughput sequencing.

We report a low-cost, portable biosensor composed of an aptamer-functionalized nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (NAAO) membrane and a commercial microcontroller chip-based impedance reader suitable for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)-based sensing. The biosensor consists of two chambers separated by an aptamer-functionalized NAAO membrane, and the impedance reader is utilized to monitor transmembrane impedance changes. The biosensor is utilized to detect amodiaquine molecules using an amodiaquine-binding aptamer (OR7)-functionalized membrane.

The widespread use of thiamethoxam has led to pesticide residues that have sparked global concerns regarding ecological and human health risks. A pressing requirement exists for a detection method that is both swift and sensitive. Herein, we introduced an innovative fluorescence biosensor constructed from alendronic acid (ADA)-modified upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) linked with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) via aptamer recognition for the detection of thiamethoxam.
