However, abuse of this substance has resulted in the accumulation of excessive residue levels in foods of animal origin, which presents a significant risk to human health. A chemiluminescent aptasensor was constructed for the rapid quantitative detection of KAN by combining the properties of Co3O4 nanoparticles (Co3O4 NPs) nanozyme activity and DNA aptamer with high specificity. The DNA aptamer/Co3O4 NPs nanozyme regulated the chemiluminescence signal by exploiting the chemiluminescent properties of luminol oxidation by H2O2. Specific binding of KAN to the aptamer led to the formation of a steric hindrance block in the solution, which inhibited the activity of nanozyme and reduced signal intensity. The degree of signal reduction is related to the concentration of KAN. Under optimal conditions, there was good linearity between KAN concentration and chemiluminescence signal intensity in the range of 0.5-8.0 μΜ, with a detection limit of 0.26 μΜ. The detection system performed well in the presence of competing antibiotics and was virtually unaffected. The method was also suitable for the detection of KAN in milk samples with sample recoveries of 97.8%-99.1%. The chemiluminescence sensor has the advantages of low cost, specificity, and sensitivity, and does not require an external light source or modification of the nucleic acid aptamer which makes it a promising candidate for applications in the field of food detection.","PeriodicalId":7802,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Sciences","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of lateral flow immunoassay devices to detect this toxin in solid food samples, like durian candy, at the point of sampling is constrained by the requirement for sample purification (e.g. centrifugation). This problem is also true with the other applications of LFIA devices on food samples. To overcome this challenge, a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) device capable of detecting SEB in unpurified durian candy sample was developed in this study. A modified LFIA device was assembled with three layers of glass fiber pads functioning as sample pads instead of a conventional cellulose fiber pad. Unlike with the cellulose fiber pad, the glass fiber sample pads acted as filter and allowed the flow of a 1:5 dilution of durian candy. The LFIA device applied to spiked 1:5 diluted durian candy samples achieved a visual limit of detection of 5 ng/mL for SEB, which is twofold lower than reported for previous LFIA devices designed to detect SEB in food samples.","PeriodicalId":7802,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Sciences","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to overcome such a difficult situation, hyper-CEST method which employs hyperpolarization and CEST techniques, is examined after the introduction of recirculation and subtraction modes. Alongside the incorporated stopped-flow technique, these modes were very efficient in detecting very weak hidden signals from cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and silk fibroin (SF) films and in discussing the void space in these polymers. From the analysis of detailed saturation frequency dependence in the increment of 100 Hz, the chemical shifts of hidden peaks were successfully determined to give reasonable values for the size of void space in CNF and SF. Application on thermoplastic polyurethane film also supported our method of analysis. The subtraction mode was very efficient in judging the presence or absence of any peak at a fixed saturation frequency. These facts support that the mode will surely be useful in the future exploratory study of very weak hidden signals.","PeriodicalId":7802,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Sciences","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
