In this work, an electrochemical aptasensor for the sensitive detection of platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) is fabricated based on leaf-like VS2 nanosheets which are prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. The scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images demonstrate that the as-prepared VS2 is constructed with many irregular sheets in a leaf-like structure with a thickness of several nanometers. The electrochemical aptasensor is constructed by depositing Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the VS2 nanosheet modified glassy carbon electrode and then immobilizing the aptamer. Using the AuNP/VS2 composite as the sensing platform greatly enhances the effective surface area of the electrode and thus amplifying the detection response. The proposed aptasensor can sensitively detect PDGF-BB with a low detection limit of 0.4 pM and over a wide target concentration range of 0.001 nM to 1.0 nM. The aptasensor has been successfully applied in the determination of PDGF-BB in human urine samples and the results compared well with those by the reference ELISA method, indicating its promise in biochemical analysis.

Magnetic mesoporous Fe3O4@nSiO2@mSiO2 nanoparticles for high-throughput mass spectrometry detection of hydrolyzed products of organophosphorus nerve agents

Gang Qu, Yuxin Zhao, Qiaoli Zhang, Jina Wu, Xiaosen Li, Yang Yang, Shilei Liu

Summary: In this study, magnetic mesoporous materials combined with real-time in situ mass spectrometry were used for the high-throughput detection of hydrolyzed products of organophosphorus nerve agents. The method showed good linearity, low limits of detection and quantification, and high extraction recoveries. The magnetic preparation method used was quick, cost-effective, rugged, and safe. The results demonstrated the potential of this method for rapid and efficient determination of the target analytes in environmental samples.

Voltammetric methods for electrochemical characterization and quantification of artemether-based antimalarials

Anna Hildebrand, Mariam Merchant, Danny O'Hare

Summary: Substandard and falsified artemisinin derivatives in antimalarials have caused significant deaths and economic losses. This study evaluates the feasibility of voltammetric methods for identifying and quantifying artemether. The findings suggest that electrochemical analysis shows promise as a method for artemether identification and quantification.

Construction of a molecularly imprinted fluorescent sensor based on an amphiphilic block copolymer-metal-organic framework for the detection of oxytetracycline in milk

Wanqiong Liu, Zixuan Wu, Jianwei Peng, Zebin Xu, Yong Liang

Summary: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are effective carriers for molecular imprinting, but their poor dispersibility in aqueous solution is a significant drawback. In this study, we have applied amphiphilic block copolymers and molecularly imprinted technology on MOFs to improve the hydrophilicity of molecularly imprinted fluorescent materials.
