Article Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is commonly used as a preservative, disinfectant, bleach, and oxidizing agent. The prolonged consumption of HO adulterated milk is harmful to human health when consumed in the diet. Exposure to HO can lead to oxidative stress, cell damage and tissue injury. Due to the potential adverse effects, the use of hydrogen peroxide is regulated in certain applications, such as in food, water treatment plants and medical products. Several methods are available for the detection of HO in various matrices. Here, a method and QR code-integrated chromogenic paper strip for the detection of HO in aqueous samples has been developed. The spectrophotometric method showed an LOD and LOQ of 0.00087 ± 8.70 ×10% (v/v) and 0.0037 ± 0.0003% (v/v), respectively. The paper-based chromogenic strip prepared by immobilizing recognition solution onto a QR code was able to detect 0.0005% v/v of HO in aqueous samples. The QR integrated chromogenic paper strip sensors can serve as a useful tool for consumers, regulatory agencies, and the food industry to assess food quality and authenticity.

Homologous nanocellulose modification: A "like cures like" strategy against coffee-ring and infiltration effects in paper-based colorimetric detection.

Background: While paper-based colorimetric assays have seen significant progress in recent years, persistent challenges including the coffee-ring effect and infiltration effect continue to affect the color uniformity of detection results, leading to decreased sensitivity and accuracy of the detection. Recent advancements in suppressing these two effects mainly depend on chemical modification of cellulose fibers or application of specific functional coatings. However, the former's complex procedures impede large-scale implementation, while the latter's non-cellulosic additives risk unpredictable interactions with analytes or interference in colorimetric reactions.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is a key signaling molecule in tumor progression, making its real-time detection vital for elucidating the complex mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis. Herein, we report a rationally colorimetric sensing platform for rapid tumor screening, leveraging the bifunctional enzyme-like activity of a heterostructured h-NiO/CoO/C nanosphere. Notably, by activating electron structure reconstruction with abundant oxygen vacancies and utilizing a dual-non-precious-metal method, h-NiO/CoO/C nanosphere enhances catalytic performance beyond the limitations of single-non-precious-metal-doped nanomaterials (e.

Two-Dimensional Dissipative Paper-Based Immunoassay with Oxygen Vacancy-Enriched CeO Nanozymes for Portable Cancer Screening.

Rapid, low-cost, and efficient cancer screening in developing regions is urgently needed. In this work, we proposed a peroxidase-like reaction system centered on endogenous Ce coordination differences by exploring the surface oxygen overflow of modulated Ce-O-Ce coordination, thus realizing a two-dimensional nanozyme-linked immunosorbent assay (NLISA) on paper. As a result of facet-selective O rearrangement and spillover, the CeO(100) facet exhibited a high O vacancy environment, providing potential catalytic sites for substrate adsorption and intermediate transfer and improving the electronic structure of the surrounding Ce.

In 2022, an avian influenza outbreak caused a massive mortality of Dalmatian pelicans (Pelecanus crispus, hereafter DP) in their world's largest breeding colony located at Mikri Prespa Lake (Greece), while great white pelicans (Pelecanus onocrotalus, hereafter GWP) were not affected. The aim of this study was to describe bacterial diversity and antimicrobial resistance carriage from choanal clefts of DPs and GWPs, to elucidate differences between the two species of pelicans and age groups. Fifty-two choanal swab samples were collected from 31 nestlings (N) (20 DP/11 GWP) late in the 2022 breeding season, and 21 adults (A) DPs (DP-A) in early 2023.
