Article Abstract

Bioaerosols are the biological materials in the air, which may cause a continuous threat to human health. However, there are many challenges in monitoring bioaerosols such as lack of sensitivity and selectivity. Herein, we synthesized a series of nanohybrids containing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to construct an electrochemical aptasensor for detecting adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a biomarker for bioaerosols. The synthesized nanohybrids can not only improve the selectivity of aptasensor because of the original crystal and chemical features of ZIF-67, but also boost its sensitivity due to the excellent conductivity of COFs. After optimizing the nanohybrids, the novel developed sensing platform achieved highly selective detection of ATP with an excellent detection limit of 0.11 nM in a wide linear range from 0.1 nM to 100 nM. Furthermore, this assay was applied to detect bioaerosols in real air samples, and the result showed a positive correlation with that of the culturing-based method, suggesting its potential applicability.

Dopamine (DA) signaling is essential for neurodevelopment and is particularly sensitive to disruption during adolescence. Protein restriction (PR) can impair DA dynamics, yet mechanistic insights remain limited due to challenges in real-time neurochemical sensing. Here, we present aptCFE, a robust implantable aptamer-based sensor fabricated via a reagent-free, 3 min electrochemical conjugation (E-conjugation) using amine-quinone chemistry.

In this study, a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method was used to synthesize a novel gold-yttrium trimesic acid metal-organic framework (Au-Y-TMA MOF), demonstrating significant improvements over conventional single-metal MOFs, that is, yttrium trimesic acid (Y-TMA), in both supercapacitor applications and electrochemical antibiotic detection. The X-ray diffraction patterns of Au-Y-TMA confirmed the presence and impact of Au in the Y-TMA matrix, while field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images revealed a heterogeneous combination of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Y-TMA, suggesting a nonuniform distribution and possible interaction. The developed half-cell supercapacitor exhibited a remarkable capacitance value of 1836 F/g at a current density of 5 A/g by galvanostatic charging-discharging (GCD) measurement.

Disposable electrochemical aptasensors (DEAs) hold significant promise for different analyte detection across diverse fields, due to inherent advantages of rapid response, portability, low cost, and high sensitivity. This review systematically examines the design strategies, signal amplification methodologies, and recent advances in DEAs in the fields of environmental analysis, food safety monitoring, and medical diagnostics. Specifically, it critically evaluates construction strategies for screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) and paper-based electrodes, including substrate selection, ink formulations, and key fabrication techniques such as screen printing, inkjet printing, deposition methods, and direct-writing technologies.

Background: Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a naturally occurring carcinogenic mycotoxin that poses critical risks to human health due to its presence in our daily consumed foods and beverages. Electrochemical aptasensor-based assays have been developed as an alternative to classical methods such as HPLC. However, they need many steps for their construction and labeling, which leads to constrained signal output and reduced large-scale production.
