Immunoassays with ultra-high sensitivity for the rapid detection of chemical contaminants in food are urgently required. However, conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) usually suffer from the moderate sensitivity. Herein, we aim to improve the sensitivity of conventional ELISA by employing the fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) as the signal probes based on the principle of inner filter effect (IFE). In this strategy, the enzymatically formed products of horseradish peroxidase/alkaline phosphatase efficiently quenched the CDs via the IFE. The absorption signal of the conventional ELISA was converted into the fluorescence signal. The fluorescent immunoassay was successfully developed and used to detect amantadine residues in chicken, achieving a limit of detection of 0.02 ng mL. The fluorescent immunoassay is a straightforward, extendable and general strategy and exhibits potential in detecting trace amounts of chemical contaminants in foodstuff.

Purpose: During fixed orthodontic treatment, oral hygiene is difficult to ensure and can easily lead to an imbalance in the oral micro-ecological balance. In this study, based on the adhesive properties of polydopamine (PDA) and the good antimicrobial and remineralization properties of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and xylitol (Xy), new nanocomposites with both antimicrobial and remineralization capabilities were prepared to coat on orthodontic brackets.
Methods: Composite carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized using carboxymethyl chitosan and xylitol, we characterized them and the antimicrobial properties of the CMC-Xy-CDs were investigated by co-cultivation with S.

Carbon dots (CDs) are versatile nanomaterials that are considered ideal for application in bioimaging, drug delivery, sensing, and optoelectronics owing to their excellent photoluminescence, biocompatibility, and chemical stability features. Nitrogen doping enhances the fluorescence of CDs, alters their electronic properties, and improves their functional versatility. N-doped CDs can be synthesized via solvothermal treatment of carbon sources with nitrogen-rich precursors; however, systematic investigations of their synthesis mechanisms have been rarely reported.
