Gold-based (Au) nanostructures are efficient catalysts for CO oxidation, hydrogen evolution (HER), and oxygen evolution (OER) reactions, but stabilizing them on graphene (Gr) is challenging due to weak affinity from delocalized [Formula: see text] carbon orbitals. This study investigates forming metal alloys to enhance stability and catalytic performance of Au-based nanocatalysts. Using ab initio density functional theory, we characterize [Formula: see text] sub-nanoclusters (M = Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, and Ag) with atomicities [Formula: see text], both in gas-phase and supported on Gr.

The diversity and heterogeneity of biomarkers has made the development of general methods for single-step quantification of analytes difficult. For individual biomarkers, electrochemical methods that detect a conformational change in an affinity binder upon analyte binding have shown promise. However, because the conformational change must operate within a nanometer-scale working distance, an entirely new sensor, with a unique conformational change, must be developed for each analyte.

Cyvirus cyprinidallo 2 (CyHV-2) is the pathogen of herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis (HVHN) that mainly infects goldfish Carassius auratus and crucian carp C. carassius and is characterized by high infectivity and pathogenicity. The availability of rapid and convenient detection methods is essential for early detection of CyHV-2.

Article Synopsis
  • Developed a colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip (CGIS) method for accurately measuring total aflatoxins in herbal medicines, addressing flaws in traditional methods.
  • The CGIS method showed high accuracy with a detection range of 2.5 to 40 μg/kg and a limit of detection (LOD) at 1 μg/kg, yielding recovery rates between 65.1% and 98.6%.
  • The study found that CGIS results aligned well with those from HPLC-FLD, allowing for significant time savings in testing and reducing retesting workload by over 90%.

The livestock industry uses ofloxacin, an antibiotic, to prevent several animal diseases; however, the overdose of ofloxacin used in animal farming treatments may appear in food products and cause some adverse human health effects. Hence, there is an immediate need to develop a method suitable for on site large-scale detection of ofloxacin residues in animal-derived foods. This study aimed to prepare a monoclonal antibody with high sensitivity and affinity for ofloxacin by re-synthesizing the ofloxacin hapten and synthesizing the corresponding complete antigen.
