Herein, Gold and magnetic particles (GoldMag), an enzyme mimetic of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), have been designed to construct a colorimetric sensor for cholesterol (Cho). The well-dispersed GoldMag was successfully prepared by green reduction using a self-assembly method based on the surface amino groups, and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic (XPS) techniques. In the presence of HO, the resulting nanocomposites possessed enhanced intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and could catalytically oxidize 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) to produce a green colored product, which could be observed apparently by the naked eye. Based on the outstanding catalytic activity, the designed colorimetric sensor displayed a linear response for cholesterol in the range from 0.1 mg/mL to 7.5 mg/mL with a detection limit as low as 0.003 mg/mL. The proposed method was validated to determine cholesterol in real samples with satisfactory results.

Wearable microfluidic sweat sensors could play a major role in the future of monitoring health and wellbeing. Sweat contains biomarkers to monitor health and hydration status, and it can provide information on drug intake, making it an interesting non-invasive alternative to blood. However, sweat is not created in excess, and this requires smart sweat collection strategies to handle small volumes.

The severe environmental and human health hazards posed by organophosphorus compounds underscore the pressing need for advancements in their degradation and detection. However, practical implementation is impeded by prolonged degradation durations and limited efficiency. Herein, an effective interfacial modification approach is proposed involving the integration of photoactive Au nanoparticles (NPs) onto metal-organic frameworks, resulting in the synthesis of UiO-66/Au NPs exhibiting enhanced hydrolysis activity under light excitation.

This research focuses on the selective detection of Hg2+ ions using hybrid nanosensors composed of rhodamine building blocks linked to polyamine units of varying chain lengths to produce Rho1-Rho4, which were subsequently conjugated with thioctic acid (RT1-RT4) and attached to the surface of gold nanoparticles to create hybrid nanosensors (GRT1-GRT4) designed for detecting heavy metals. The chemical structures, purity, morphology, and chemical composition were characterized through XRD, NMR, TEM, ATR-FTIR, and mass spectrometry. These hybrid nanosensors demonstrated excellent selectivity and sensitivity in colorimetric and fluorescence responses towards Hg2+, outperforming other metal ions.

Flavokavain B (FKB), a hepatotoxic chalcone from (kava), has raised safety concerns due to its role in disrupting redox homeostasis and inducing apoptosis in hepatocytes. Conventional chromatographic methods for FKB detection, while sensitive, are costly and impractical for field applications. In this work, DNA aptamers were selected using the library-immobilized method and high-throughput sequencing.
