One of these challenges lies in the high strain-specificity of most bacteriophages, which makes it necessary to screen large phage collections against the target pathogens in order to identify suitable candidates for the formulations of personalized therapeutic phage cocktails. In this work, we evaluate the potential of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) to identify and detect phage infection and subsequent lysis of bacteria immobilized on the surfaces of the QCM-D sensors. Using lytic Escherichia coli phage T7 as a model, we show that phage infection of E. coli cells results in various unique alterations in the behaviors of the frequency (Δf) and dissipation (ΔD) signals, which are not observed during exposure of the E. coli strain to non-infectious Bacillus subtilis phage phi29 at similar concentration. To aid future phage screening campaigns, we furthermore identify a single measurement parameter, i.e., the spread between the different overtones of ΔD, that can be used to detect phage-induced lysis. For T7 infection of E. coli, this is achieved within 4 h after inoculation, including immobilization and growth of the bacteria on the sensor surface, as well as the completed phage propagation cycle. Given the commercial availability of highly automated multichannel systems and the fact that this approach does not require any sensor modifications, QCM-D has the potential to become a valuable tool for screening medium-sized phage collections against target pathogens.</p>","PeriodicalId":462,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":"2143-2153"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11961536/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143490087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, the pretreatment of whole blood involves the use of metal ions combined with organic solvents. However, this method requires multiple reagent additions, repeated opening, closing, and vortexing of vials, and it also leads to heavy metal pollution. Given the typically large sample volumes, optimizing this process is crucial for increasing throughput, reducing the workload of clinical staff, and lowering costs. We discovered that treating whole blood with a 60 to 75% acetonitrile (ACN) solution effectively releases tacrolimus, sirolimus, and cyclosporine A while simultaneously precipitating protein. This allowed us to significantly simplify the pretreatment process to just adding 65% ACN solution containing internal standards, manually shaking for 20 s, and centrifuging for 2 min. The resulted supernatant can then be directly analyzed by mass spectrometry. Method validation demonstrated that the new approach can accurately quantify tacrolimus in the range of 0.64 to 37.5 ng/ml, cyclosporine A at 12 to 976 ng/ml, and sirolimus at 0.99 to 43.4 ng/ml.

Therefore, the sensitive and reliable detection of MMP activity in the tumor microenvironment is of great importance for the diagnosis and prognosis of malignant tumors. Here, a ratiometric surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing strategy based on interference-free internal standard was proposed for the accurate quantification of MMP-2 activity. A plasmonic substrate with core-satellite structure was constructed by self-assembly of silver nanoparticles on the gold core, which provided excellent SERS enhancement due to the coupling interaction. Besides, rhodamine B (RhB)-labelled substrate peptides and 4-mercaptobenzonitrile (MBN) were used as the MMP-2 recognizer and internal standard, respectively. MMP-2 specifically cleaved the peptides in half, leaving the RhB molecule free and the Raman signal at 1650 cm<sup>-1</sup> weak. Benefitting from the synergistic normalization by MBN at 2223 cm<sup>-1</sup> in the cell silent region, this ratio-type readout signal (I<sub>2223</sub>/I<sub>1650</sub>) was resistant to the endogenous and exogenous interference, contributing to the reproducibility and stability. The experimental results showed that the nanoprobe was capable of detecting MMP-2 activity at concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 ng/mL, and the limit of detection could be down to 0.715 ng/mL.

Celiac disease is a systemic autoimmune disorder caused by the ingestion of gluten (Glu) proteins found in various cereals. Currently, the only effective way to prevent and manage potential complications is through a strict gluten-free diet (GFD). However, both intentional and unintentional dietary transgressions can occur, often leading to persistent symptoms and ineffective treatment. In this scenario, the development of analytical strategies to detect biomarkers of gluten intake and monitor adherence to a GFD is of significant interest. Herein, we present an analytical strategy based on high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) combined with colorimetric detection to estimate 3,5-dihydroxycinnamic acid (3,5-DHCA) as selective biomarker of Glu intake in urine. The approach combined Fast Blue (FB)-doped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane with colorimetric HPTLC (RP-C18) giving rise to a selective method to isolate 3,5-DHCA response in urine samples. Detection by visual inspection, image analysis, and spectroscopic response was evaluated and compared. Analytical parameters were estimated showing a good sensitivity (limit of detection (LOD) ≤ 0.8 mg L<sup>-1</sup>) and precision, relative standard deviation (RSD) values < 7%. Analysis of urine samples of celiac patients and control patients was performed, and recovery studies showed satisfactory values (R > 80%). The preliminary results indicated correlation between Glu intake and positive 3,5-DHCA responses. This study demonstrated that FB-doped PDMS membranes-HPTLC is a promising tool for detecting dietary transgressions to the GFD by visual inspection, and subsequent quantitative analysis by image analysis and spectroscopic techniques.

Because manual data curation is time-consuming and error-prone, it presents a bottleneck, especially in an era of emerging high-throughput methodologies and increasingly complex analyses such as antigen-specific antibody glycosylation.

Due to analytical challenges posed by quantification of individual OPs, monitoring PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> formation is a widely used proxy to monitor OP transformations. The molybdenum blue (MB) method, employing UV/Vis spectroscopy, is frequently used for PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> quantification due to its sensitivity and operational simplicity.

This study investigated the effects of six OPs, namely N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate), 1-hydroxyethylidene(1,1-diphosphonic acid) (HEDP), iminodi(methylene phosphonate) (IDMP), aminotris(methylene phosphonate) (ATMP), ethylenediaminetetra(methylene phosphonate) (EDTMP), and diethylenetriaminepenta(methylene phosphonate) (DTPMP).
