The development of a colorimetric severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection assay with the WHO published ASSURED criteria is reported, in which the biosensor should have the following characteristics of (i) being affordable for low-income communities, (ii) sensitive, (iii) specific, (iv) user-friendly to be used by non-skilled personnel, (v) rapid and robust, (vi) equipment-free, and (vii) delivered to the end-users as a simple and easy to use point-of-care tool. Early viral infection detection prevents virus spread and controls the epidemic. We herein report the development of a colorimetric assay in which SARS-COV-2 variants can be detected by colorimetric observation of color on the sensing cotton swab surface. Using the developed biosensor assay, it is possible to discriminate between the various SARS-CoV-2 variants with a LOD of 100 ng/mL within 4 min including sample preconcentration and incubation step. The results illustrated the development of a SARS-CoV-2 colorimetric biosensor that can be mass produced, with low-reagent cost, and can be read-out visually in the field by nonskilled personnel.

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.

Routine screening for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) through point-of-care assays for at-home or community-based testing of salivary biomarkers can significantly improve patient outcomes. However, its translatability has been hindered by a dearth of biosensing devices that streamline assay procedures for rapid biomarker quantitation. To address this challenge through end-to-end engineering, we developed an in-house, all-in-one microfluidic immunosensing device that integrates on-chip vibration-enhanced incubation, magnetic-assisted separation using immune magnetic bead probes, and colorimetric readout via absorbance measurements.

A dual-signal aptamer-based assay utilizing colorimetric and fluorescence techniques was developed for the determination of zearalenone (ZEN). The CdTe quantum dots, serving as the fluorescent signal source, were surface-modified onto FeO@SiO and subsequently functionalized with the aptamer. The COF-Au was modified with complementary chain, which possessed peroxide (POD)-like enzyme properties, and could catalyze the peroxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to ox TMB, resulting in the generation of colorimetric signals.

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.
