Abstract
Rapid detection of bacteria and sensitive detection of bacteria are like two sides of a coin, making it difficult to achieve both at the same time. This study designed a colorimetric-photothermal dual-mode vertical flow assay based on 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA)-functionalized Cu2-xSe-Au nanozyme (Cu2-xSe-Au@MPBA). The Cu2-xSe-Au@MPBA probes were synthesized through in situ reduction. These probes can bind with target bacteria and the antibodies immobilized on the filter membrane, thereby forming a "nanomaterial-bacteria-antibody" sandwich structure. The dual-mode signals come from the peroxidase-like activity and photothermal properties of the Cu2-xSe-Au@MPBA nanozyme. Both colorimetric and photothermal modes can be completed in 60 min. This assay demonstrates low detection limits of 26.34 CFU mL⁻¹ in colorimetric mode and 1.91 CFU mL⁻¹ in photothermal mode. Real sample analysis by this assay showed excellent anti-interference capability and reliable recovery rates, which demonstrate a significant potential for applications in food safety monitoring and bioanalysis.
