A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor was developed using gold nanostars (Au NSs) and FeO@Au nanoparticles (NPs) for the highly sensitive detection of aflatoxin B (AFB). Au NSs were modified by the Raman reporter 4-aminothiophenol (PATP) and then coupled with cDNA to act as the capture probes (Au NSs@PATP-cDNA). FeO@Au NPs were modified with the AFB aptamer (AFB Apt) and used as signal probes (FeO@Au NPs-AFB Apt). The SERS peak of PATP at 1078 cm was used for quantitative analysis. When the core-satellite nanostructures (FeO@Au NPs-AFB Apt/cDNA-Au NSs@PATP) were self-assembled by oligonucleotide hybridization, the SERS intensity was significantly enhanced. When AFB was present, AFB Apt specifically binds to AFB, causing the FeO@Au NPs-AFB Apt and Au NSs@PATP-cDNA to dissociate, resulting in a decrease in the SERS intensity measured after magnetic separation. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) of AFB can be reduced to 0.24 pg/mL. This is attributed to the high affinity of AFB Apt, excellent magnetic separation characteristics, and multiple SERS hotspots. The assay has been validated to perform well in recovery and accuracy by evaluating spiked samples (rice, corn, and wheat) and positive samples (corn, brown rice, and wheat).

Aflatoxin B (AFB), classified as a class I carcinogen, is a widespread mycotoxin that poses a serious threat to public health and economic development, and the food safety problems caused by AFB have aroused worldwide concern. The development of accurate and sensitive methods for the detection of AFB is significant for food safety monitoring. In this work, a sandwich-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor for AFB detection was constructed on the basis of an aptamer-antibody structure.

In this work, the perovskite fluorescent nanocrystals (CsPbBr) were successfully synthesized and wrapped with SiO shell, utilized for the assembly of solid-state detection strip capable of conveniently and specifically detection of aflatoxin B (AFB). The SiO coating aimed to enhance the stability of CsPbBr nanocrystals. The resulting CsPbBr@SiO material exhibited remarkable fluorescence properties, and further self-assembled onto solid-state plate, generating AFB-specific quenched fluorescence at a specific wavelength of 515 nm.

Aflatoxin B (AFB) is a virulent metabolite secreted by Aspergillus fungi, impacting crop quality and posing health risks to human. Herein, a dual-mode Raman/fluorescence aptasensor was constructed to detect AFB. The aptasensor was assembled by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), while the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effects were both realized.
