Abstract
Contaminant residues in food and drinking water pose a significant threat to human health. Therefore, high-performance, on-site analytical methods are essential for effectively monitoring and controlling this risk. In recent years, photothermal lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has garnered considerable attention as a point-of-care testing (POCT) method due to its rapid responsiveness, cost-effective portable instrumentation, and operational simplicity. In this context, considerable efforts have been dedicated to advancing photothermal LFIAs for food safety and control. This review aims to summarize the principles and assay formats of LFIAs, along with the sensing mechanisms underlying photothermal LFIAs. Furthermore, it provides an overview of recent developments in the functional modification of photothermal materials within LFIA systems for detecting harmful substances in food, including pathogenic bacteria, mycotoxins, hazardous organic pollutants, veterinary drug residues, and other organic contaminants. Additionally, the future directions and recent challenges hindering the practical application of photothermal LFIAs are briefly summarized.
期刊介绍:
Critical Reviews in Analytical Chemistry continues to be a dependable resource for both the expert and the student by providing in-depth, scholarly, insightful reviews of important topics within the discipline of analytical chemistry and related measurement sciences. The journal exclusively publishes review articles that illuminate the underlying science, that evaluate the field''s status by putting recent developments into proper perspective and context, and that speculate on possible future developments. A limited number of articles are of a "tutorial" format written by experts for scientists seeking introduction or clarification in a new area.
This journal serves as a forum for linking various underlying components in broad and interdisciplinary means, while maintaining balance between applied and fundamental research. Topics we are interested in receiving reviews on are the following:
· chemical analysis;
· instrumentation;
· chemometrics;
· analytical biochemistry;
· medicinal analysis;
· forensics;
· environmental sciences;
· applied physics;
· and material science.
