Amine compounds are considered highly important in environmental pollution, industrial, and medicinal fields. The objective of this work was to develop a disposable, highly accurate, highly selective, and low-cost paper-based probe through the combination of color change of seven pH indicators for the detection of amine compounds in the gaseous state. The probe was designed with seven rings which were printed using the wax-printing technique and colored with different pH indicators. The colors of the probe were analyzed using red, green, and blue () values extracted from the images obtained with a homemade smartphone application. The chemometric tools, principal component analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis methods were adapted to further classify amine gases. The colorimetric probe showed an excellent capability for detecting the amines with high accuracy, prompt response, and high selectivity. These dye arrays have been proven to detect ethanolamine (NHCHCHOH), dimethylamine ((CH)NH), and trimethylamine ((CH)N) gases at parts per million scale.

A new rhodamine based turn on florescent probe ()-3',6'-bis(ethylamino)-2-(((6-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)methylene)amino)-2',7'-dimethylspiro[isoindoline-1,9'-xanthen]-3-one (RME) was efficiently synthesized through a simple condensation reaction of 2-amino-3',6'-bis(ethylamino)-2',7'-dimethylspiro[isoindoline-1,9'-xanthen]-3-one and 6-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde. The receptor RME is highly non-fluorescent and when copper ions (Cu ions) are added in DMF/water (1 : 2, v/v) medium, the receptor RME exhibits a specific "turn-on" colorimetric and fluorometric response. Moreover, RME binding with Cu ions produced a remarkable color variation that was perceptible to the human eye, changing from colorless to pink.

Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) is a critical issue with significant implications for patient care, public health, and TB control efforts that necessitate comprehensive strategies for detection. This study presents a novel point-of-care diagnostic tool for RR-TB detection employing a peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-paper-based sensor combined with isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). The sensor targets mutations in codons 516, 526, and 531 of the rpoB gene, the top three common mutations associated with rifampicin-resistant strains.

Mercury (II) ions (Hg) are a significant source of heavy metal contamination in groundwater, posing a serious threat to human health and the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of a new detection technique with high sensitivity for monitoring Hg in contaminated groundwater. Here, we developed a signal amplifying MOF-based probe (NXS@ZIF-8) for on-site and ultrasensitive dual-channel portable detection of Hg in groundwater.
