Article Abstract
As the most common malignancy in humans, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) not only harms the people's health but also undermines their confidence after facial surgery. Early detection and treatment can effectively reduce these damages. The unique collateral trans-cleavage nuclease activity of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a system was utilized to realize the detection of nucleic acid with high sensitivity. So, in this work, we designed a point-of-care testing (POCT) platform for the detection of OSCC-associated salivary hsa-miRNA 31-5p (miR-31) via the cascade signal amplification of "invading stacking primer" (IS-primer) amplification reaction (ISAR), CRISPR/Cas12a, and dual-mode paper-based strip (dm-Strip). To amplify the detection signal of trace miR-31, the cascade signal amplification of CRISPR/Cas12a system coupling with ISAR was designed in a one-pot reaction at a constant temperature. The target miR-31 could activate the ISAR to generate numerous DNAs, which would further trigger the trans-cleavage effect of Cas12a to catalyze the nonspecific single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) cleavage. This ssDNA was labeled with digoxin and biotin at the 5' and 3' termini (digoxin/ssDNA/biotin), respectively, which led to generate the naked-eye signal and fluorescent signal of the designed dm-Strip. The whole detection time was 90 min with limit-of-detection (LOD) down to aM level. This ISAR/Cas12a-based dm-Strip (ISAR/Cas12a-dmStrip) allowed for the portable and ultrasensitive detection of miRNA, an important step in early diagnosis of OSCC and biomedical research.

Background: A novel paper-based electrochemiluminescence test strip (ECL-TS) for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms is developed by combining lateral flow immunochromatography(LFIC) with ECL.
Methods: Based on the principle of double-antibody sandwich, monoclonal antibody 1 labeled with tris(bipyridine)ruthenium is fixed on the conjugate pad as the labeled antibody, and monoclonal antibody 2 is directly fixed on the detection pad as the capture antibody. The antibody is Made to flow to the detection region through LFIC and specifically bind to the capture antibody in the detection region.

Prevailing colorimetric paper lateral flow strips (PLFSs) are inexpensive and easy to use by untrained personnel, but suffer from low sensitivity and severe interference from complex sample matrices such as blood plasma. Hence, a PLFS based on near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) has been developed to directly detect microRNA (miRNA) in blood plasma without any further sample pretreatment. To mitigate the issue of low intensity and photo-instability of organic NIRF dye molecules, the dye-encapsulated silica nanoparticles have been synthesized and incorporated into a PLFS for miRNA detection.

Detection of fluoride in water samples is critical for monitoring many chemical, environmental, and biological processes, however, these measurements often rely on costly instrumentation. This situation has motivated the design of simple to use, fieldable fluoride sensors. Previously, a fluorometric sensor based on (EDTA)Zr(HO) (EDTA = ethylenediamine-,,','-tetraacetate) and 3-hydroxyflavone (FlvH) was reported for fluoride detection in ethanol-HO mixtures.

Lead (II) and silver (I) contamination pose serious risks to environmental and human health, requiring efficient detection and remediation strategies. Herein, a functionally tunable molecule with four hydroxy groups and two triazole moieties is introduced. The incorporation of a dansyl fluorophore enabled selective detection, with limits of detection of 38.

A smartphone-assisted fluorescent and colorimetric detection method for nitrite based on 2,3-diaminonaphthalene (DAN) and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) paper strip was developed. DAN reacts with NO via a coupling reaction under acidic conditions to generate naphthotriazole (NAT), emitting strong blue fluorescence at 435 nm. The red fluorescence of AuNCs at 650 nm is quenched by the reduction of nitrite.
