Article Abstract

Moxifloxacin (MXF), a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is widely used in human and veterinary medicine. However, its overuse leads to environmental residues and antimicrobial resistance, posing significant health risks. Herein, a label-free electrochemical immunosensor was developed for ultrasensitive MXF detection using silver nanoparticle-graphene oxide nanocomposites (AgNPs/GO). The synergistic effects of GO (high conductivity) and AgNPs (redox activity) enhanced electron transfer efficiency. Critically, Staphylococcal protein A (SPA) enabled oriented Fc-directed antibody immobilization, significantly enhancing antigen-binding efficiency and sensitivity compared to random adsorption. Material characterization (UV-Vis, XRD, SEM, TEM) confirmed the nanostructure. The sensor exhibited a wide linear range (0.50-200 ng/mL), ultralow detection limit (0.18 ng/mL, S/N = 3), and high specificity against structural analogs. Practical validation in spiked pork and milk samples achieved recoveries of 95-104 % with long-term stability (>82.5 % signal retention over 28 days). This work provides a reliable platform for monitoring antibiotic residues in food safety systems.

The study addresses the critical issue of sepsis diagnosis, a life-threatening condition triggered by the body's immune response to infection that leads to mortality. Current diagnostic methods rely on the time-consuming assessment of multiple biomarkers by a series of tests, leading to delayed treatment. Here, we report a platform for developing a point-of-care (POC) device utilizing electrochemical immunosensors for the dual and rapid detection of sepsis biomarkers: Procalcitonin (PCT), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) as host markers and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a pathogen marker.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), a key biomarker in breast cancer, is critical for early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. In this work, a label-free electrochemical immunosensor was developed for biomarker HER-2 detection based on PtSnCoNi hierarchical dendritic alloyed nanowires (PtSnCoNi HDNWs). These nanowires were synthesized via a co-reduction-triggered anisotropic growth strategy in oleylamine.

Background: Of the mycotoxins, aflatoxin is the most significant. The detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is crucial for ensuring food safety, as this highly carcinogenic toxin readily contaminates crops such as grains and nuts, and timely detection can effectively prevent associated health risks. The selection of luminophores is of paramount importance in the detection of ECL (electrochemiluminescence).

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has posed significant global health challenges. The nucleocapsid protein (N-protein) is a structural part of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and an important immunogenic target of specific antibodies, which are developed in the organism during the infection by this virus. Artificially designed specific (monoclonal and polyclonal) antibodies are also used for therapeutic and bioanalytical purposes, therefore, the assessment and characterization of newly designed antibodies is an important analytical issue.
