The measurement of trace gases has increasingly become a key technique in healthcare and other medical applications. Quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) is a suitable method that can provide the required characteristics in such applications for a comparatively low cost and small size. The quantitative detection and a low detection limit are also required by applications. In this paper, we present new results on sensing biomedically relevant gases using the on-beam QEPAS technique with some newly developed tunable high-power single-mode laser diodes based on GaSb material. The data processing and detection limit determination are done by a field programmable gate array device, as well as an automatic measurement of the resonance frequency.

The pathogenic oomycete Pythium insidiosum causes a fatal infectious illness known as pythiosis, impacting humans and certain animals in numerous countries in the tropics and subtropics. Delayed diagnosis is a primary factor contributing to the heightened morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. Several new serodiagnostic methods have been developed to improve the identification of pythiosis.

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic and poses a serious threat to food safety and human health, which makes its surveillance critical. In this study, an indirect competitive ELISA (icELISA) based on a nanobody (Nb M4) was developed for the sensitive and rapid detection of AFM1 in dairy products. In our previous work, Nb M4 was screened from a Bactrian-camel-immunized phage-displayed library.

Luminol-loaded mesoporous carbon nanospheres (MCs@LU) were utilized to develop a highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for the detection of L-cysteine (L-Cys). L-Cys acted as the coreactant of luminol, and the pore confinement effect of mesoporous carbons (MCs) resulted in a robust ECL signal. Upon optimization, a linear correlation between the ECL intensity and L-Cys concentration was observed over the range of 5.

The simultaneous detection and removal of Ag from drinking water was crucial for preventing human health, while it was also extremely challenging due to bifunctional materials that combine both Ag adsorption and detection functions rarely being explored. In this study, a benzotrithiophene-based covalent organic framework (TAPA-BTT) was synthesized and applied to detect and remove Ag. TAPA-BTT exhibited high crystallinity, a large specific surface area, and good thermal stability.
