L-cysteine modified gold nanoparticles / paper chip system for rapid detection of chiral dopaEI北大核心CSCD

A new detection method for L-Dopa based on paper chips was established. The L-Cys-AuNPs were characterized by their size, zeta potential, and UV-visible absorption spectra. The system had the high selectivity for the colorimetric detection of L-Dopa with the color changing from red to blue. The results were recorded using a common cell phone and subsequently analyzed using Photoshop software. A ratiometric color intensity method was designed for the quantification analysis. The ratio of color intensity at red channel and blue channel (R / B) increases linearly with L-Dopa concentration in the range of 5 to 80 μmol / L (R = 0. 9944), with the limit of detection of 4 μmol / L. The spiked recoveries of samples were 98%-102%. The RSDs of inter-day and intraday were 3. 3% and 3. 8%, respectively. Real samples were detected, and the error between the determination and the labeled value was within 5%. The method can be used to detect L-Dopa in real samples. © 2022, Youke Publishing Co.,Ltd.

The authors describe a voltammetric immunosensor with antibody immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with N-doped graphene (N-GS), electrodeposited gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and chitosan (Chit). The preparation is simple and the thickness of the electrodeposited films can be well controlled. Due to the specific advantages of N-GS, AuNPs and Chit, the electrode has a large specific surface, improved conductivity, high stability. A new label-free immunosensor for the model antigen (alpha fetoprotein, AFP) detection was then designed by employing N-GS-AuNP-Chit as the antibody immobilization and signal amplification platform. Differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used for the characterization of the stepwise assembly process.

Preparation and application of novel polymer nanoparticles in the detection of copper ion and cysteineEI北大核心CSCD

A novel amphiphilic copolymer,dipropenoxystyrene anthracene and acrylic acid copolymer（BASA-AA） was designed and synthesized based on divinyl anthracene. The polymer self-assembled rapidly in water to create polymer nanoparticles（BASA-AA NPs）with a uniform size of 45 nm,no dye leakage,and great brightness（Φ= 36%）. Because of the enormous number of carboxyl groups on the surface of the particles,it can disperse extremely well in water,and can be used for the rapid detection of copper ion and cysteine（Cys）in pure water, with the limit of detection of 45 nmol/L. The fluorescent intensity of the nanoparticles will be greatly reduced after the introduction of copper ion,realizing the detection of copper ion with high selectivity and sensitivity. A composite probe made of BASA-AA NPs and copper ion can detect Cys in the range of 0.1-10 µμmol/L,with the detection limit of 84 nmol/L,due to the high binding capacity of the sulfhydryl group and copper ion. The method is simple and rapid in material synthesis and preparation,and shows high selectivity and sensitivity in pure water. © 2023, Youke Publishing Co.,Ltd. All rights reserved.

Novel sensor based on carbon paste/Nafion? modified with gold nanoparticles for the determination of glutathione

Several problems for the direct electrochemical oxidation of reduced glutathione (GSH) challenge the usage of electroanalytical techniques for its determination. In this work, the electrochemical oxidation of GSH catalyzed by gold nanoparticles electrodeposited on Nafion modified carbon paste electrode in 0.04?mol?L^?1 universal buffer solution (pH?7.4) is proved successful. The effect of various experimental parameters including pH, scan rate and stability on the voltammetric response of GSH was investigated. At the optimum conditions, the concentration of GSH was determined using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in two concentration ranges: 0.1?×?10^?7 to 1.6?×?10^?5?mol?L^?1 and 2.0?×?10^?5 to 2.0?×?10^?4?mol?L^?1 with correlation coefficients 0.9988, 0.9949 and the limit of detections (LOD) are 3.9?×?10^?9?mol?L^?1 and 8.2?×?10^?8?mol?L^?1, respectively, which confirmed the sensitivity of the electrode. The high sensitivity, wide linear range, good stability and reproducibility, and the minimal surface fouling make this modified electrode useful for the determination of spiked GSH in urine samples and in tablet with excellent recovery results obtained.

A novel nanocomposite matrix based on graphene oxide and ferrocene-branched organically modified sol–gel/chitosan for biosensor application

A novel platform for the fabrication of a glucose biosensor was successfully constructed by entrapping glucose oxidase (GOD) in a ferrocene (Fc)-branched organically modified silica material (ormosil)/chitosan (CS)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite. The morphology, structure, and electrochemistry of the nanocomposite were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, UV–vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. Results demonstrated that the proposed electrochemical platform not only provided an excellent microenvironment to maintain the bioactivity of the immobilized enzyme, but also effectively prevented the leakage of both the enzyme and mediator from the matrix and retained the electrochemical activity of Fc. Furthermore, dispersing GO within the Fc-branched ormosil/CS matrix could significantly improve the stability of GO and make it exhibit a positive charge, which was more favorable for the further immobilization of biomolecules, such as GOD, with higher loading. Moreover, it could also improve the conductivity of the matrix film and facilitate the electron shuttle between the mediator and electrode. Under optimal conditions, the designed biosensor to glucose exhibited a wide and useful linear range of 0.02 to 5.39 mM with a low detection limit of 6.5 μM. The value of K _M ^app was 4.21 mM, indicating that the biosensor possesses higher biological affinity to glucose. The present approach could be used efficiently for the linkage of other redox mediators and immobilize other biomolecules in the process of fabricating novel biosensors.     

Colorimetric and fluorescence dual-mode detection of arsenic（v） based on cobalt oxyhydroxide nanoplatesEI北大核心CSCD

The oxidase-like activity of cobalt oxyhydroxide （CoOOH） nanosheets is inhibited by arsenic （V） in the system, thereby attenuating the oxidation of p-phenylenediamine （PPD） by CoOOH nanosheets, and changing the absorbance of the solution. Based on this principle, and the fluorescence inner filter effect （IFE） of p-phenylenediamine oxide （oxPPD） on the dye acridine orange （AO）, a colorimetric and fluorescence dualmode method for the quantitative detection of As（V） was established. The variation of absorbance and fluorescence intensity of As（V） with different concentrations was investigated, and the effects of the concentrations of CoOOH nanosheet and PPD, pH of buffer solution, and temperature of reaction were optimized. The results showed that under the optimized conditions, the concentration of As（Ⅴ） had a good linear relationship with the corresponding signal intensity, and the detection limits of colorimetric and fluorescence method were 5 and 10 nmol/L, respectively. The method has been used for the determination of arsenic（V） in lake water located the city center. © 2023, Youke Publishing Co.,Ltd. All rights reserved.     

Electrochemical DNA nano-biosensor for the detection of genotoxins in water samples简

In the present study, a disposable electrochemical DNA nano-biosensor is proposed for the rapid detection of genotoxic compounds and bio-analysis of water pollution. The DNA nano-biosensor is prepared by immobilizing DNA on Au nanoparticles and a self-assembled monolayer of cysteamine modified Au electrode. The assembly processes of cysteamine, Au nanoparticles and DNA were characterized by cyclic voltammetry （CV）. The Au nanoparticles enhanced DNA immobilization resulting in an increased guanine signal. The interaction of the analyte with the immobilized DNA was measured through the variation of the electrochemical signal of guanine by square wave voltammetry （SWV）. The biosensor was able to detect the known genotoxic compounds： 2-anthramine, acridine orange and 2- naphthylamine with detection limits of 2, 3 and 50 nmol/L, respectively. The biosensor was also used to test actual water samples to evaluate the contamination level. Additionally, the comparison of results from the classical genotoxiciw bioassay has confirmed the applicability of the method for real samoles.
