The aggregation and redispersion of positively-charged AuNPs ((+)AuNPs) modified with cysteamine (CS) could be regulated by the negatively charged As(III)-specific aptamer (As(III)-apt). In general, (+)AuNPs aggregated with increasing inducer concentration. However, in the present study, it was found that (+)AuNPs re-dispersed after a certain high concentration of As(III)-apt was reached. By optimizing the concentration of As(III)-apt that resulted in the aggregation and redispersion behavior of (+)AuNPs, a dual-mode colorimetric aptasensor for As(III) determination was established. It was not only able to quantify As(III) sensitively over a ranges of As(III) concentrations, but also to selectively differentiate As(III) and eliminate false results from other control ions by dual-mode.

In the study, an eccentric heterogeneous core-shell nanomaterial Au@CuSe was simply and rapidly synthesized. This novel nano-structure exhibits superior colorimetric intensity, enhanced antibody coupling efficiency, and strong broadband absorption across the visible to near-infrared spectrum, with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 59.40%.

The abnormal expression of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is linked to the development of various diseases. Accurate determination of AChE activity as well as screening AChE inhibitors (AChEIs) holds paramount importance for early diagnosis and treatment of AChE-related diseases. Herein, a fluorescent and colorimetric dual-channel probe based on gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO NSs) was developed.

Manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO NSs) have garnered significant attention in analytical sensing, while the majority of the previous reports suffer from a complex preparation process involving reducing agents, template or high-temperature. In this work, a novel MnO NSs decorated TiCT MXene nanoribbons (TiCTNR@MnO) composite was firstly assemblied via a facile one-step strategy and applied as a bi-signal generator to enable colorimetric and fluorescence (FL) dual-response sensing. During the assembly process, TiCTNR innovatively acted as both reductant and carrier to prevent the aggregation of MnO NSs.

The construction of structure-guided aptamers and the ultra-sensitive aptamer-based lateral flow assays (Apt-LFA) integrated detection method hold significant potential for food analysis. Using an engineered modified sequence strategy, we successfully developed the aptamer Cap-1-2M4, significantly enhancing its affinity for capsaicin (CAP) to 0.6197 ± 0.

Unreasonable or illegal utilization of pesticides may lead to pollution of agricultural products, especially with some persistent but effective pesticides. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop sensitive and rapid methods for pesticide detection to ensure the safety of agricultural products. Herein, a dual-mode ratiometric sensing system utilizing two gold nanoclusters (G/R-AuNCs) was designed and constructed for paraquat (PQ) detection, a typical, highly toxic, widely used pesticide.
