Article Abstract
We report the design of a smartphone-assisted plasmonic immunosensor and its application to the detection of several food contaminants, namely staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), bovine β-lactoglobulin (BLG), and hen egg white lysozyme (LYSO). Comprehensive characterization of antibodies was performed by ELISA and surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPR-i), demonstrating high affinity and specificity for each target, which supports their potential application in complex food matrices. The immunosensing platform utilizes gold nanoparticle-conjugated antibodies and inexpensive glass slides as single-use chips. Both qualitative visual detection by the naked eye down to around 1 ng of BLG, and quantitative detection with a portable spectrophotometer connectable to a smartphone are demonstrated. This self-contained device may provide a rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective approach to food contaminants analysis, potentially useful for on-site food safety assessment.

To address the urgent requirements for fast and on-site hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) detection, we developed a dual-mode sensing platform integrating surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and colorimetry combined with smartphone-assisted visual detection using gold-core silver-shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs). The SERS mode leveraged the plasmonic enhancement of Au@Ag NPs, achieving ultrahigh sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.074 nM and a linear range spanning five orders of magnitude.

As cyanide ion (CN), an ecologically harmful pollutant, has received incessant attention with growing industrialization on a global scale, the capability of on-site monitoring of CN contamination becomes increasingly crucial. In this work, we have fabricated a simplistic plasmonic-sensing platform for CN, which can be combined with the human naked eye for visual monitoring. The main sensor part consisted of β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD)-decorated gold-rich silver bimetallic alloy nanoparticles (β-CD-Ag/Au-rich alloy NPs), while a sensing analysis was performed by a spectrophotometer or smartphone, where optical data gathered by its camera were analyzed by RGB color sensing.

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide and natural reducing agent composed of glutamic acid, glycine, and cysteine. Its level in the human body is closely linked to human health, such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. The supplementation of exogenous GSH could bring health benefits and GSH detection in food is of considerable importance.

In this study, cationic carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from -phenylenediamine (PDA) a one-step hydrothermal method and used to trigger the aggregation and dispersion of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the colorimetric detection of nucleic acids. Physicochemical characterization results revealed that the CDs are enriched with positively charged surface functional groups with an average size of ∼11 nm. The interaction between the CDs and AuNPs was confirmed fluorescence and absorption studies.
