The detection of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is very important for the prevention of food poisoning and other infectious diseases. Here we reported a simple and sensitive strategy to test S. Typhimurium by microchip capillary electrophoresis couple with laser-induced fluorescence (MCE-LIF) based on the specific reaction between the bacterium and corresponding aptamers. Based on the differences in charge to mass ratio between bacteria-aptamer complexes and free aptamers, a separation of the complexes and free aptamers could be obtained by MCE. The optimal parameters of the specific reaction including fluorescent dye concentration, Mg concentration, incubation time, and pH of incubation solution were carefully investigated. Meanwhile, a non-specific DNA was exploited as a contrast for the detection of S. Typhimurium. Under the optimal conditions, a rapid separation of the bacteria-aptamer complex and free aptamers was achieved within 135 s with a limit of detection (S/N = 3) of 3.37 × 10 CFU mL. This method was applied for the detection of S. Typhimurium in fresh milk samples and a recovery rate of 95.8% was obtained. The experimental results indicated that the specific aptamers are of enough biostability and the established method could be used to analyze S. Typhimurium in foods.

Alternariol (AOH) has attracted much attention as an emerging toxin in edible herbs that can pose potential carcinogenic risks to human. However, the rapid detection of AOH to ensure food safety remains a challenge. Here, a CRISPR-Cas12a-mediated aptamer-based sensor (aptasensor) was proposed for the sensitive quantification of AOH by using a personal glucose meter.

As an important biological indicator, the abnormity of the lysozyme level is closely related to many diseases. Herein, we devise a novel ratiometric fluorescence aptasensor for lysozyme based on the controllable excimer formation of a perylene probe, N, N'-bis(6-caproic acid)-3,4:9,10-perylene diimide (PDI) induced by cationic silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). Binding of lysozyme aptamer with multiple phosphate groups to cationic Ag NPs strongly hinders the formation of excimer, yielding intense monomer fluorescence of PDI probe.

Aptamers, single-stranded nucleic acids that bind to specific targets with high affinity and specificity, hold significant promise in various biomedical and biotechnological applications. The traditional method of aptamer selection, SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential Enrichment) takes a lot of work and time. Recent advancements in computational methods have revolutionized aptamer design, offering efficient and effective alternatives.

Stable and low-cost field-effect transistor (FET)-based biosensors are vital for the on-site detection of toxic pollutants in environmental monitoring applications. In this study, a tunable aptamer-MXene sensing interface was constructed to develop renewable FET biosensors. This was achieved through the reversible disulfide bond (-S-S-) reaction between the SH-TiCT film and thiolated aptamer.
