One simple, sensitive detection method for pesticide prothioconazole based on citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in one step at room temperature was presented in this study. Prothioconazole could be easily linked onto the AuNPs through a Au-S covalent bond, and AuNPs undergo aggregation via hydrogen bonds formed among prothioconazole molecules. As a result, the color of AuNP solution changes from wine red to royal purple, which could be monitored by naked eyes and UV-vis spectra. This label-free visual detection method could determine prothioconazole with concentrations ranging from 1.33 to 19.99 μg/L with a detection limit of 0.38 μg/L (S/N = 3). This method was convenient and free of complex equipment and successfully applied to prothioconazole determination in rice field water where it gave satisfactory recoveries.

The unique characteristics of biological structures depend on the behavior of DNA sequences confined in a microscale cell under environmental fluctuations and dissipation. Here, we report a prominent difference in fluorescence from dye-modified single-stranded DNA in a light-induced assembly of DNA-functionalized heterogeneous probe particles in a microwell of several microliters in volume. Strong optical forces from the Mie scattering of microparticles accelerated hybridization, and the photothermal effect from the localized surface plasmons in gold nanoparticles enhanced specificity to reduce the fluorescence intensity of dye-modified DNA to a few %, even in a one-base mismatched sequence, enabling us to clearly highlight the single nucleotide polymorphisms in DNA.
