Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is the most effective real-time detection method for aflatoxin B (AFB). Here, we constructed a nanozyme-strip based on MnO nanosheets (MnO NSs) as a catalytic label for detection of AFB. By taking advantage of the MnO-TMB catalytic amplified system, the new test achieves rapid detection with high sensitivity and ultrawide range. The limit of detection of the assay was 15 pg mL, which was over 100-fold lower than the maximum limit set by the European Union (EU) of AFB in foods. In addition, the strip test could offer 7 dynamic detection ranges, spanning 4 orders of magnitude, which could cater to the varieties of limits on AFB residues in foods and feeds set by different countries. The estimated recoveries were in the range of 85.67%-106.38% with coefficients of variations (CVs) less than 9.68%. Overall, the developed approach is a rapid, reliable, sensitive and widely available tool for on-site detection of AFB.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created a huge demand for sensitive and rapid detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The current gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 detection is reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-based nucleic acid amplification. However, RT-PCR is time consuming and requires specialists and large instruments that are unattainable for point-of-care testing (POCT).

Ebola continues to rage in West Africa. In the absence of an approved vaccine or treatment, the priority in controlling this epidemic is to promptly identify and isolate infected individuals. To this end, a rapid, highly sensitive, and easy-to-use test for Ebola diagnosis is urgently needed.
