Summary: A filter paper-based colorimetric strategy was developed for instrument-independent visual detection of artificial food colorants (FCs). Indicator papers were prepared and colorimetric cards with fine correspondence between colors and FCs concentrations were obtained. The method showed improved selectivity and sensitivity, allowing in situ colorimetric assay of FCs in a wide range of pH values. The feasibility of the method was confirmed through comparison with other analytical methods.

Summary: A rapid detection method for bacteria on sample surfaces was developed based on the endogenous enzymatic reactions of E. coli and S. aureus. The presence of the bacteria can be visually confirmed through the appearance of blue color in the swab and the formation of air bubbles in the reagent solution after two-step enzymatic reactions.

Summary: Polydiacetylene nanofiber biosensors prepared via electrospinning effectively offer selective detection of Gram-negative bacteria through a rapid blue-to-red colorimetric change. The selectivity is likely due to structural differences and different extracellular polymeric substances released by different bacteria. In addition, the nanofiber biosensor demonstrated superior antibacterial properties.

Summary: Convenient and sensitive trace water indication is achieved using a flower-like metal-organic framework Cu-FMM. The Cu-FMM can reversibly change its coordination structure with the capture and loss of water molecules, enabling naked-eye colorimetric indication of trace water. The Cu-FMM exhibits a recognizable color change when exposed to the atmosphere or solvent with trace water, with a low detection limit of RH 3% and a water content of 0.25 parts per thousand (v/v). The multi-scale pore structure of Cu-FMM contributes to a fast and reversible response, outperforming traditional coordination polymer humidity sensors. This study provides insights for the design of sensitive and practical naked-eye water indicator materials for in situ and continuous monitoring in industrial processes.

Summary: The study utilizes the stabilizing effect of lysozymes to develop a quick naked-eye test for detecting urinary lysozyme concentrations over 57.2 μg/mL. By calculating color difference parameters, the test can reliably provide a positive colorimetric response in less than 15 minutes, making it useful for detecting disorders such as leukemia-associated lysozymurias.

Summary: The main challenge for the expansion and mass production of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices lies in the lack of fluid flow control due to uncontrolled fabrication protocols. The key to addressing this issue is to generate uniform and reliable microfluidic channels and optimize the fabrication process. Wax printing is the most common method, which requires analysis and optimization of parameters such as device shape, wax barrier width, and internal area.

Summary: This article introduces a traffic light-like microfluidic paper-based analytical device that allows intuitive semi-quantitative analysis without the need for calibration or subjective interpretation. The device displays assay results as traffic light colors and has been designed to eliminate the risk of misinterpretation. The device relies on sample flow modulation through paperfluidic channels to achieve the desired readout. The platform has been successfully demonstrated for glucose quantification in artificial urine as a proof-of-concept.

Summary: In this study, a fast and sensitive colorimetric method was developed to accurately detect trace amounts of arsenic. By changing the morphology of silver nanoparticles, the color of the nanoparticles changed, which was visible to the naked eye. The proposed probes showed good performance in the experiments and could be used to detect arsenic levels in human urine samples.

Summary: The thermosetting oil-based droplet array enables real-time monitoring and digital counting of bacterial growth. Single E. coli cells are encapsulated in solidified droplets to form microcolonies, and Resazurin is used to amplify the bacterial growth signals. This rapid and simple method does not require pre-enrichment and has been successfully applied for enumeration of E. coli in milk.

Summary: This manuscript proposes a new device, the Volume-Independent Autonomous box (VIA box), which addresses the challenges of the colorimetric method in microfluidic paper-based and microfluidic thread/paper-based analytical devices. The VIA box continuously monitors the transient color of the device and interprets the color profile over time to measure the glucose level independent of sample volume. Unlike previous studies, the VIA box uses an ordinary RGB sensor instead of an imaging camera, resulting in low computational cost.

Summary: In this study, a novel and facile colorimetric assay based on Au@AgNPs as a chemosensor for the naked-eye detection of morphine was developed. The aggregation of Au@AgNPs upon exposure to morphine resulted in a visible color change from light-yellow to brown. The method showed excellent stability, selectivity, prompt detection, and cost-effectiveness.
