A dual-mode aptasensor has been developed for the effective detection of Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni), a major cause of gastrointestinal disease worldwide. The aptasensor utilizes nanoparticles, specifically a core-shell structure consisting of gold and silver (Au@Ag NPs), along with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). When Campylobacter jejuni is introduced, "Au@Ag NPs-Aptamer-Campylobacter jejuni-Aptamer-MNPs" sandwich complexes are formed due to the high affinity of the aptamer for the bacterial surface membrane proteins. The dual-mode aptasensor can magnetically enrich the sample in just 15 min, and the presence of Campylobacter jejuni is determined by observing a color change. Additionally, the concentration of Campylobacter jejuni can be quantified using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and standard curves. This results in a wider linear range (1.8 × 10-10 CFU/mL) under optimal conditions, a lower limit of detection (6 CFU/mL), and a higher selectivity for the detection of bacteria compared to previously reported sensors. Compared with traditional microbial culture counting methods, the dual-mode aptasensor does not require Raman reporters. The physical action of magnetic enrichment, along with the application of Au@Ag NPs, improves the accuracy of the dual-mode aptasensor, offering the advantages of convenience and high sensitivity. Moreover, by utilizing different types of aptamers, this aptasensor can be modified to detect a wider range of harmful pathogens in various environments.

A portable dual-mode PDMS-based microfluidic chip aptasensor was developed to detect bovine pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (bPAG) in bovine milk. Reagents within the chip chambers underwent reactions driven by gravity, where pre-encoded rich C sequences on the complementary strand of the aptamer facilitated the generation of abundant G-quadruplexes via subsequent RPA reaction, which activated the chromogenic substrates and fluorogenic precursors in the chip, producing distinct colorimetric and fluorescent signals. These signals were captured by our developed smartphone application and converted into RGB values, further enabling the quantification of bPAG with detection limits of 0.
