The colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay (GICA) has become a popular method for the rapid detection of plant viruses. This assay format uses antibodies labeled with colloidal gold to capture and detect specific viral antigens in plant samples. GICA offers several advantages over traditional laboratory-based methods, including speed, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility, making it an attractive option for plant virology diagnostics. Because plant viruses can cause significant economic losses in agriculture and horticulture, early detection is essential for effective management and control. Conventional laboratory-based methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and polymerase chain reaction are sensitive and specific but require specialized laboratory equipment and training and can be time-consuming and costly. On the other hand, colloidal gold nanoparticles, specific antibodies and carefully designed components are integrated to allow visual detection of target viruses. This makes it an invaluable tool for plant disease management and monitoring that is simple and easy to perform and provides results within minutes. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the application of colloidal gold immunochromatographic assays for the rapid detection of plant viruses.

In this study, we developed a colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip (CGIS) method that used the matrix-matched calibration curves of contamination ratio models to quantitatively determine the total aflatoxin in five herbal medicines. This approach addresses issues related to false results and poor accuracy associated with conventional methods. The CGIS was analyzed using a Vertu touch reader, and the matrix-matched calibration was established based on the absorbance ratios of the T and C lines, as well as the logarithmic values of the total aflatoxin concentrations.

The livestock industry uses ofloxacin, an antibiotic, to prevent several animal diseases; however, the overdose of ofloxacin used in animal farming treatments may appear in food products and cause some adverse human health effects. Hence, there is an immediate need to develop a method suitable for on site large-scale detection of ofloxacin residues in animal-derived foods. This study aimed to prepare a monoclonal antibody with high sensitivity and affinity for ofloxacin by re-synthesizing the ofloxacin hapten and synthesizing the corresponding complete antigen.

The performance of nanomaterials is significantly determined by the interfacial microenvironment, in which a surfactant plays an essential role as the adsorbent, but its involvement in the interfacial reaction is often overlooked. Here, it was discovered that citrate and ascorbic acid, the two primarily used surfactants for colloidal gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), can spontaneously undergo catalytic reaction with trace-level nitrogenous residue under ambient environment to form oxime, which is subsequently cleaved to generate CN or a compound containing the -CN group. Such a catalytic reaction shows wide universality in both reactants, including various carbonaceous and nitrogenous sources, and metal catalysts, including Au, Ag, Fe, Cu, Ni, Pt, and Pd NPs.

Chirality epitomizes the sophistication of chemistry, representing some of its most remarkable achievements. Yet, the precise synthesis of chiral structures from achiral building blocks remains a profound and enduring challenge in synthetic chemistry and materials science. Here, we demonstrate that achiral colloidal nanocrystals, including Au and Ag nanocrystals, can assemble into long-range-ordered helical assemblies with the assistance of chiral molecules.
