We herein developed a rapid testing kit for the detection (<10 min) of 6PPD in rubber products with low costs (<$1/sample), which was inspired by the observation of a red-colored product after 6PPD exposure to oxidants. The selectivity of this reaction was evaluated by 14 structurally diverse phenols and anilines. Interestingly, the protonated <i>N</i>-1,3-dimethyl butyl-<i>N’</i>-phenyl quinone diimine (6QDI+H<sup>+</sup>), rather than its neutral or radical counterparts, appeared to be the red-colored product with λ<sub>max</sub> = 490 nm. We further developed a “green” and user-friendly 6PPD rapid testing kit, which was further applied to a wide array of 50 rubber products. 6PPD was detected in 22 out of 50 samples, with a strong agreement (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.896) observed between the results of the rapid testing kit and LC-MS.

By decreasing the ability of electron release, the electrophilicity of the recognition site is increased by 1.449 kcal/mol, the Stokes shift of the chemodosimeter is improved to 201 nm, and the sensing mode changes from fluorescence quenching to ratiometric fluorescence and finally to fluorescence on. Furthermore, the three D-π-A fluorescent chemodosimeters display superior sensing performance toward ClO<sup>–</sup>, including low limits of detection (LOD, 37.0, 5.1, and 1.0 nM), rapid response (<5 s), and great selectivity in the presence of 16 kinds of interferents.

Given its crucial role, CB1 has become a target for therapeutic interventions with significant potential for treating various disorders. However, conventional methods such as calcium imaging and patch-clamp can only detect drug concentrations in the nanomolar to micromolar range, highlighting the need to develop more sensitive drug screening methods. To address this issue, we developed an ultrasensitive biosensor based on cell-derived CB1 nanovesicles (CB1-NV) coupled with carbon nanotube (CNT)-printed electrodes. This ultrasensitive sensor can detect cannabinoid compounds at picomolar concentrations by converting receptor-mediated Ca<sup>2+</sup> influx into measurable electrical signals. The sensor exhibits remarkable sensitivity in terms of detecting trace tetrahydrocannabinol amounts (approximately 0.001%) in hemp seed oil, which conventional methods fail to detect. Compared with conventional methods, the developed biosensor exhibited a 1000-fold improvement in sensitivity, offering a promising tool for high-throughput drug screening and therapeutic research. Additionally, the CB1-NV sensor utilizes cell-free vesicles to preserve the cellular environment. However, because live cells were not involved, there was no requirement to maintain cell viability during the measurement process.","PeriodicalId":27,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Chemistry","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the detection of glycan resonances, <i>J</i>-edited, diffusion, and relaxation filtered NMR spectroscopy (JEDI) has been proposed to suppress the lipoprotein signals.

This approach grants selective detection of sialylation, galactosylation, <i>N</i>-acetylglucosaminylation, and fucosylation of dominant <i>N</i>-glycans and, to some extent, <i>N</i>-glycan branching complexity.

Traditional DNA walkers often rely on enzymes for operation, posing compatibility challenges, while the handful of existing enzyme-free DNA walkers demonstrate limited performance. To address this, we innovatively developed an efficient enzyme-free 3D DNA walker with dual capture and dual output capabilities. Coupled with ligase chain reaction (LCR), this system facilitates highly sensitive and specific detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Specifically, LCR precisely identifies single-base mutations, effectively transmitting biological information. The 3D DNA walker system is based on entropy-driven circuit cycling reaction technology. In this system, LCR products serve as the driving strands for the DNA walker, independently binding to track strands and walking legs immobilized on gold nanoparticles, forming a unique dual signal capture mechanism. Each track strand carries two signal chains, significantly enhancing signal amplification efficiency. Benefiting from this novel enzyme-free 3D DNA walker strategy, our biosensing system exhibits exceptional sensitivity to mutant targets (MT), detecting MT at concentrations as low as 30.3 aM and distinguishing heterozygous samples with a 0.01% mutation frequency. Furthermore, this system has been successfully applied to genotyping and mutation abundance assessment of genomes from fresh soybean leaves, demonstrating its vast potential for practical applications. In summary, this research pioneers a novel enzyme-free 3D DNA walker with dual capture and dual output capabilities, and develops an ultrasensitive genotyping tool. This provides strong technical support for the advancement of genetic research.","PeriodicalId":27,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Chemistry","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inability to stably and consecutively obtain suitable section samples and perform concise and efficient imaging analysis limits the analysis throughput. Herein, a preparation method is proposed. It enables consecutive sectioning, batch preservation, and dry processing through the use of ordinary adhesive tape, enhancing the adhesion between section and tape and rapid freeze-drying. Furthermore, based on the air flow assisted desorption electrospray ionization (AFADESI) MSI system, a vacuum adsorption platform is introduced, which simplifies the process of MSI analysis. Moreover, compared with general tape-based MSI methods, the signal intensity of 73%–85% of the annotated ions is improved for positive ion mode. The signal-to-noise (<i>S</i>/<i>N</i>) ratios of characteristic ions in the corresponding regions in the images of the tissue section samples increase by an average of more than two times, and a clearer organ outline can be seen in the images.

Our findings further elucidate the synergy between anionic surfactants and acidic pH. Cell membrane integrity was disrupted by all of the surfactants, as revealed by the decrease in Raman bands assigned to major cellular components (nucleic acids, proteins, and cytochrome), leading to the leakage of cellular components. Moreover, the composition of the cell membrane was altered due to insertion of cationic surfactant, evidenced by the emergence of surfactant-characteristic bands in the spectrum of <i>S. aureus</i>; yet this was observed only under acidic conditions for anionic surfactants. Remarkably, changes in Raman bands of staphyloxanthin and S═O which are biomarkers of cellular oxidative states revealed that acidic conditions accelerated cell death induced by the anionic surfactant.

The nanosensor leverages the transport properties of a multiwalled carbon nanotube/polyaniline nanofiber (MWCNT/PAnNF) nanocomposite film on a gold interdigitated electrode and acetylcholinesterase/butyrylcholinesterase (AChE/BChE) hydrolysis of their respective substrates generating protons doping PAnNFs, thereby increasing the conductance of the film.
