A point-of-care testing (POCT) platform, i.e., a portable colorimetric immunosensor based on iron oxide magnetic beads and AuNPs, has been developed for detecting leather residues. The immunosensor demonstrates a linear detection range from 1 ng/mL to 10 µg/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.985 ng/mL. The sensor exhibits high specificity and repeatability and performs effectively in detecting leather artifacts excavated from Inner Mongolia. Thus, the proposed colorimetric immunosensor not only enables the micro-detection of leather artifacts but also shows significant potential for on-site leather detection at archaeological sites.

Niobium carbide (NbCTx), a key component of the MXene family renowned for its utilization in lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors, remains largely underutilized in biosensing applications. This study introduces a notably sensitive and label-free dual-mode electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and colorimetric immunosensor to specifically detect chromogranin A (CgA) in biological fluids. Initially, AuAg bimetallic nanoparticles (BiMNPs) were synthesized using NbCTx as a reducing and supporting material.

Using new materials to improve detection accuracy and efficiency is important to broaden the application of immunoassay sensors. Among numerous materials for improving sensors, chitosan, as a natural polysaccharide, has excellent biocompatibility, mechanical adjustability, stimulation sensitivity and porous structure, which holds significant potential for enhancing the performance of immunoassay sensors. However, at present, there are few systematic reviews on the application of chitosan in immune sensors.

The colorimetric point-of-care test (POCT) offers a rapid and efficient method for detecting specific targets in real samples. However, traditional colorimetric methods often rely on complex signal amplification techniques or electronic devices to enhance detection sensitivity, which can inadvertently increase both cost and time, thus contradicting the fundamental goals of visual detection methods. Here, we presented a distance-based fluorescent immunosensor that utilized a gas-producing nanozyme for continuous gas production reaction as a signal.

Driven by their exceptional optical characteristics, robust chemical stability, and facile bioconjugation, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have emerged as a preferred material for detection and biosensing applications in scientific research. This study involves the development of a simple, rapid, and cost-effective colorimetric immuno-sensing probe to detect aflatoxin B1 and zearalenone using AuNP antibody (AuNP-mAb) conjugates. Anti-toxin antibodies were attached to the AuNPs by using the physical adsorption method.
