As an important class of emerging chemical contaminants, short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are considered as one of the most challenging groups of compounds to analyze. In this paper, we report a new method for fast screening of SCCPs based o...
The rapid and widespread adoption of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins in genetically modified (GM) crops has raised concerns about the impact of GM crops on environment and food safety. A sensitive and specific method for detecting Bt proteins in...
The detection of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) activity is pivotal for its biochemical studies and the development of drugs for UDG-related diseases. Here, we explored an integrated DNA structure switch for high sensitive detection of UDG activity. Th...
Highly selective and sensitive detection methods are very important for the early diagnosis of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Here, we present a novel peptide/FeO@SiO-Au nanocomposite-based fluorescence biosensor for highly selective and sensitive ...
With the development of proteomics and the continuous discovery of biomarkers of trace proteins, it is important to accurately quantify low abundance protein, especially in urine for clinical diagnostics. In this paper, we reported a novel nano-bioti...
In this study, described an electrochemical immunoassay for insulin that is based on the use of zinc silicate spheres loaded with palladium nanoparticles (ZnSiO-PdNPs) that act as dual-function labels. The ZnSiO-PdNPs display high electrocatalytic ac...
A fast and sensitive analysis for trace level heavy metals in aqueous solution was realized by using an improved laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) methodology. Solutions containing heavy metal elements, Ni, Cr, and Cd, were concentrated in ...
A novel dual-site recognition protocol was developed for chemiluminescent (CL) detection of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) based on a designed antibiotic-affinity strategy. Teicoplanin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic against Gram-positive bacteria, wa...
A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor with composite consisted of silica-sol, Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and tris(2, 2'-bipyridine) ruthenium (II) was constructed. A new method for simultaneous determinatio...
A lab-made magnetic-mechanical robotic (MMR) system coupled to a flow-batch analyzer (FBA) for magnetic nanoparticles solid phase extraction (MSPE) is presented. As an illustrative application, an NMR-FBA couple was connected to a graphite furnace at...
