A satellite-like AuNP aggregate-based nitrite detection nanosensor was designed via diazotization coupling reaction and can significantly lower the naked-eye detection limit to 3.0 ng mL−1. This nanosensor has important applications in food detection and cancer prevention.

Convergence of localized surface plasmon resonance of metal nanoparticles with classical ELISA has emerged as a new class of immunoassays, i.e. plasmonic ELISA, enabling biocatalysis mediated ultrasensitive naked-eye detection of disease biomarkers.

ABSTRACTUltrasensitive and selective detection and quantification of dopamine (DA) plays a key role in monitoring neurodegenerative diseases. However, the detection limit reported for DA detection is typically in the lower nM range. Pushing the detection limit to pM or lower for this particular target to cover the physiological levels (< 130 pM) is significant. Herein, DA DNA aptamer (DAAPT) gold nanoparticle (AuNP) conjugate is utilized to enhance the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) signal, which enables to detect and quantify DA in the femtomolar (200 fM) to picomolar range. To the best of our knowledge, this is the lowest detection limit achieved for SPR sensing of dopamine. The as-prepared 10 nm DAAPT-AuNP conjugate demonstrates strong binding affinity (Kd = 3.1 ± 1.4 nM) to the complementary DNA (cDNA) probe on gold chip. The cDNA probe is immobilized to the chip via polydopamine surface chemistry, which allows the Michael addition of any primary amine-terminated biomolecules. By adjusting the concentration of the DAAPT-AuNP conjugate, two calibration curves are generated with dynamic ranges from 100 µM to 2 mM, and from 200 fM to 20 nM, respectively. Both calibration curves have negative slopes, showing good agreement to a dose-response curve in an enzyme inhibition assay. In addition, the sensing strategy is evaluated to be specific for DA detection using a series of DA analogs and other metabolites as potential interferences.

In HCl solution, the Se (IV) was reduced to SeH2 by NaBH4, and absorbed by solution of ethanol-AgNO3. The Ag+ was reduced to nanosilver that exhibited surface plasmon resonance absorption (SPR) peaks at 292 nm and 420 nm. Under the selected conditions, the value at 292 nm was linear to the concentration of Se (IV) in the range of 0.08-2.0 μg/mL, a detection limit of 0.04 μg/mL. The proposed method was applied to detect Se (IV) in water samples, with satisfactory results.

The ‘C–CN’ bond cleavage was applied to the recognition of N2H4 for the first time; the obvious change in color could be used for “naked-eye” detection; the corresponding detection limit was found to be 5.81 × 10−8 M (1.65 ppb); the probe could be applied for N2H4 detection in real water samples.
