Isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques (INAATs) have attracted much attention because of their high efficiency for rapid diagnosis. In this work, we systematically summarize the current status of INAATs for HFMD and discuss advantages and drawbacks of various INAATs for HFMD. The INAATs for HFMD detection mainly include loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), simultaneous amplification and testing (SAT), and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). Among them, LAMP has excelled in several diagnostic metrics and has made significant progress in the field of POCT. SAT has been effective in overcoming the problem of RNA degradation. RPA is suited for on-site testing due to its rapid amplification rate and low reaction temperature. In addition, this study explores the potential of INAATs in lateral flow strips (LFS) test and microfluidic devices for HFMD. LFS is typically used for qualitative analysis and supports multiple detection. Microfluidics can integrate necessary processes of sample pre-processing, amplification, and signal output, enabling high-throughput qualitative or quantitative detection and demonstrating the potential of monitoring HFMD. We hope the current work will provide insights into INAATs for monitoring HFMD and serve as a reference for the implementation of on-site EV detection for public health.</p>","PeriodicalId":705,"journal":{"name":"Microchimica Acta","volume":"192 1","pages":"31"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142885083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this environmental concern and promote sustainable agriculture, a sensitive carbon paste sensor incorporating a composite material was developed. The composite sensor is based on porous cobalt-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate metal–organic framework and exfoliated montmorillonite nanolayers (Co-OF/MMt). This sensor enables the voltammetric detection of CMPA in real soil samples using linear sweep adsorptive anodic stripping voltammetry (LS-AdASV), facilitating early and accurate monitoring of herbicide levels. The Co-OF/MMt nanocomposite was synthesized via a hydrothermal method involving the precipitation of Co-OF in the presence of MMt. Comprehensive characterization of the synthesized materials was carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), SEM-Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX) and surface area analysis (BET). The resulting modified carbon paste sensor, utilizing 1.0% Co-OF/MMt nanocomposite, exhibited superior electrochemical properties compared with the bare carbon paste sensor, possessing an electroactive surface area of 1004.1 m<sup>2</sup>/g with a minimal resistivity (R<sub>ct</sub>) of 330 Ω. Under standard operating conditions, the developed sensor demonstrated detection limits of 0.03 nM and 0.1 nM across two broad linear ranges (0.03 to 0.10 nM – 0.10 to 1.0 nM) and (0.1 to 1.0 nM – 1.0 to 7.0 nM), respectively, for CMPA determination in both bulk and soil samples. These results pointed out the promising electrochemical modified sensor for the direct and simple detection of certain herbicides in environmental matrices, without the need for sample pretreatment steps. This capability supports sustainable development goals by enhancing effective environmental monitoring.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":705,"journal":{"name":"Microchimica Acta","volume":"192 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00604-024-06765-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142880520","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}

When SDM was absent, the SDM aptamers were effectively adsorbed on the surface of AgNPs@MOF, thus keeping AgNPs@MOF in a dispersed state, resulting in a weakened SERS signal of 4-ATP. In the presence of SDM, the combination of SDM and aptamer formed a rigid hairpin SDM-aptamer complex, which bound less to AgNPs@MOF. Therefore, fewer aptamers were adsorbed on AgNPs@MOF, which exposed more hot spots, resulting in an enhanced SERS signal of 4-ATP. The aptasensor had good selectivity and sensitivity towards SDM and a good linear relationship between SERS intensity and SDM concentration in the range 6.00–150.00 ng/mL, with the limit of detection as low as 2.73 ng/mL.

The aptasensor utilizes a glassy carbon electrode that has been modified with toluidine blue (TB) encapsulated in a Zn-based metal–organic framework (TB@Zn-MOF). The results demonstrate that in the presence of OTA, the peak current of the differential pulse voltammogram (DPV) related to TB oxidation is notably decreased. The changes in the oxidation peak current of TB encapsulated in Zn-MOF, both in the absence and presence of OTA, serve as an analytical signal for accurately measuring its concentration. With the proposed aptasensor, OTA can be determined within a linear concentration range 1.0 × 10<sup>−4</sup> – 200.0 ng mL<sup>−1</sup>, with a detection limit of 2.1 × 10<sup>−5</sup> ng mL<sup>−1</sup>. The aptasensor design is suitable for measuring OTA concentration in coffee powder samples. This represents the first report to utilize TB@Zn-MOF in designing an applicable aptasensor to OTA measurement. The high porosity of the Zn-MOF allows for a large number of TB molecules to be encapsulated in its cavities, while its large surface area enables more OTA aptamers to be immobilized on the electrode surface. These two key features significantly enhance the sensitivity of the aptasensor in measuring OTA concentration.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":705,"journal":{"name":"Microchimica Acta","volume":"192 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142870409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this technique faces challenges, such as the intrinsic matrix effect, which significantly impact the results when analysing real complex samples. This issue is critical for the calculations of key SP-ICP-MS parameters ultimately altering the final outcomes. Novel analytical approaches with high metrological quality such as isotope dilution analysis (IDA) can overcome these limitations by improving signal discrimination in challenging SP-ICP-MS scenarios. This alternative has mainly been applied for NP size characterisation but remains underexplored in modern ICP-MS and SP set-ups. Thus, the implementation of a revised version of IDA-SP-ICP-MS, including recent advances in quadrupole ICP-MS and SP data processing, which enables reliable NP sizing and counting, would be of utmost interest. In this work, this combination using the species-unspecific IDA mode has been investigated as an alternative to tackle matrix effect caused by complex matrices with platinum NPs as a case study. The optimum ionic tracer concentration has been evaluated for different PtNP sizes, resulting in a range of 500 to 1000 ng L<sup>−1</sup> due to differences in the mean NP signal. A valuable in-house spreadsheet for the data treatment has also been developed. The successful applicability of the methodology for determining the size and particle number concentration of 30 and 50 nm PtNPs has been demonstrated not only in environmental samples (synthetic and natural seawater), but also, for the first time, in biological matrices such as cell culture media and human urine.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":705,"journal":{"name":"Microchimica Acta","volume":"192 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142870487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
