A simple and highly sensitive immunoassay based on a competitive binding and bio-barcode amplification was designed for detection of small molecules, triazophos. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were modified with monoclonal antibodies and 6-carboxyfluorescein labeled single-stranded thiol-oligonucleotides (6-FAM-SH-ssDNAs); the fluorescence of 6-FAM was quenched by AuNPs. Ovalbumin-linked haptens were coated on the bottom of microplate to compete with the triazophos in the sample for binding to the antibodies on the AuNP probes. The fluorescence intensity was inversely proportional to analyte concentration. Parameters of AuNP probes preparation and immune reaction were optimized. At the optimal conditions, the salting process was shortened to 1 h and 166 ± 9 ssDNAs were loaded onto a single AuNP. The competitive fluorescence bio-barcode immunoassay was performed on water, rice, cucumber, cabbage and apple samples. The linear range of the method was 0.01-20 μg Land the limit of detection (LOD) was 6 ng L. The recovery and relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranged from 85.0 to 110.3% and 9.4-17.4%, respectively. Good correlations were obtained between the results of the developed method and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In conclusion, it is suggested that the competitive fluorescent bio-barcode immunoassay had the potential to be used as a sensitive method for detection of a variety of small molecules in various samples.

Balancing the risks and benefits of organophosphate pesticides (OPs) on human and environmental health relies partly on their accurate measurement. A highly sensitive fluorescence anti-quenching multi-residue bio-barcode immunoassay was developed to detect OPs (triazophos, parathion, and chlorpyrifos) in apples, turnips, cabbages, and rice. Gold nanoparticles were functionalized with monoclonal antibodies against the tested OPs.

Here we have reported a simple and sensitive bio-barcode immunosensor for simultaneous detection of 3-amino-2-oxazolidinone (AOZ), 3-amino-5-morpholinomethyl-2-oxazolidinone (AMOZ), 1-aminohydantoin (AHD), and semicarbazide (SEM) in aquatic products. According to freeze-thaw strategy, four fluorophores (FAM, HEX, ROX, Cy5) labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) were conjugated onto the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with corresponding four nitrofuran metabolites monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for forming four bio-barcode fluorescence immunoprobes. The fluorescence of immunoprobes was quenched by AuNPs.

A competitive immunoassay for detecting triazophos based on fluorescent catalytic hairpin self-assembly.

A rapid detection method is introduced for residual trace levels of triazophos in water and agricultural products using an immunoassay based on catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA). The gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) surface was modified with triazophos antibody and sulfhydryl bio-barcode, and an immune competition reaction system was established between triazophos and its ovalbumin-hapten (OVA-hapten). The bio-barcode served as a catalyst to continuously induce the CHA reaction to achieve the dual signal amplification.

A bio-barcode immunoassay based on droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) was developed to simultaneously quantify triazophos, parathion, and chlorpyrifos in apple, cucumber, cabbage, and pear. Three gold nanoparticle (AuNP) probes and magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) probes were prepared, binding through their antibodies with the three pesticides in the same tube. Three groups of primers, probes, templates, and three antibodies were designed to ensure the specificity of the method.

The ability to visually detect low numbers of Salmonella in food samples is highly valuable but remains a challenge. Here we present a novel platform for ultrasensitive and visual detection of Salmonella Typhimurium by integrating the bio-barcode immunoassay (BCA), recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), and CRISPR-Cas12a cleavage in a single reaction system (termed as BCA-RPA-Cas12a). In the system, the target bacteria were separated by immunomagnetic nanoparticles and labeled with numerous barcode AuNPs, which carry abundant bio-barcode DNA molecules to amplify the signal.
