RESUMEN
This study presents an innovative double-walled borosilicate glass reactor system for the efficient treatment of liquid and gaseous wastewater. This reactor system allows precise temperature control, continuous pH monitoring, and controlled dosing of reagents to optimize reaction conditions. Detailed characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), BET (specific surface area) analysis, point of zero charge (PZC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the SCR, SCRT, and 5%Fe@SCRT materials. For Malachite Green adsorption, SRCT demonstrated a maximum adsorption capacity of 39.78 ± 0.5 mg/g using the Langmuir isotherm model and followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Optimum conditions for adsorption were found to be: an initial concentration of 50 ppm, an adsorbent dosage of 1 g/l, a pH of 8.5, and a temperature of 50°C. For the catalytic oxidation of phenol, 5%Fe@SRCT achieved a remarkable removal rate of 99.9 ± 0.1% under optimum conditions (50 ppm phenol, 1 g/l catalyst dosage, pH 3.5, H2O2 concentration 8.7 mM, and temperature 70°C). Intermediates identified during the reaction included hydroquinone, benzoquinone, catechol, and resorcinol, with degradation occurring over a 60-minute reaction period. The 5%Fe@SCRT material showed excellent reusability in the removal of phenol by catalytic oxidation, with no significant loss of efficiency over three cycles, while the SRCT underwent three cycles of regeneration for the adsorption of Malachite Green. Scavenger tests confirmed the involvement of hydroxyl radicals in the catalytic oxidation process. In addition, fish survival tests after catalytic oxidation of phenol by 5%Fe@SRCT showed no impact on fish, underlining the environmental safety of this process. In addition, germination tests after decolorization of MG by SRCT demonstrated a good effect with no negative impact, reinforcing the ecological value of this innovative technology. These results highlight the innovative use of SCRT and 5%Fe@SCRT as versatile materials for environmental remediation, exploiting their effective adsorption capacities and efficient catalytic oxidation performance within the proposed double-walled borosilicate glass reactor system. PRACTITIONER POINTS: The study demonstrates the effectiveness of an innovative reactor system employing SRCT adsorbent and Fe@SRCT catalyst for efficient removal of malachite green and phenol from wastewater. Environmental impact assessment, including seed germination and fish survival evaluation, validates the method's eco-friendly potential. Implementation of this approach could significantly contribute to sustainable water treatment practices.

Eps15 (epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 15) homology domain-containing proteins (EHDs) comprise a family of eukaryotic dynamin-related ATPases that participate in various endocytic membrane trafficking pathways. Dysregulation of EHDs function has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. The lack of small molecule inhibitors which acutely target individual EHD members has hampered progress in dissecting their detailed cellular membrane trafficking pathways and their function during disease. Here, we established a Malachite green-based assay compatible with high throughput screening to monitor the liposome-stimulated ATPase of EHD4. In this way, we identified a drug-like molecule that inhibited EHD4's liposome-stimulated ATPase activity. Structure activity relationship (SAR) studies indicated sites of preferred substitutions for more potent inhibitor synthesis. Moreover, the assay optimization in this work can be applied to other dynamin family members showing a weak and liposome-dependent nucleotide hydrolysis activity.

Rapid and quantitative detection of malachite green (MG) in aquaculture products is very important for safety assurance in food supply. Here, we develop a point-of-care testing (POCT) platform that combines a flexible and transparent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate with deep learning network for achieving rapid and quantitative detection of MG in fish. The flexible and transparent SERS substrate was prepared by depositing silver (Ag) film on the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film using laser molecular beam epitaxy (LMBE) technique. The wrinkled Ag NPs@PDMS film exhibits high SERS activity, excellent reproducibility and good mechanical stability. Additionally, the fast in situ detection of MG residues onfishscales was achieved by using the wrinkled Ag NPs/PDMS film and a portable Raman spectrometer, with a minimum detectable concentration of 10-6 M. Subsequently, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) model was constructed for rapid quantification of MG concentration. The results demonstrated that the 1D CNN quantitative analysis model possessed superior predictive performance, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9947 and a mean squared error (MSE) of 0.0104. The proposed POCT platform, integrating a transparent flexible SERS substrate, a portable Raman spectrometer and a 1D CNN model, provides an efficient strategy for rapid identification and quantitative analysis of MG in fish.

Accurate and sensitive monitoring of the concentration change of anti-digoxigenin (Anti-Dig) antibody is of great importance for diagnosing infectious and immunological diseases. Combining a novel triplex aptamer nanoswitch and the high signal-to-noise ratio of lighting-up RNA aptamer signal amplification, a label-free and ultrasensitive fluorescent sensing approach for detecting Anti-Dig antibodies is described. The target Anti-Dig antibodies recognize and bind with the nanoswitch to open its triplex helix stem structure to release Taq DNA polymerase and short ssDNA primer simultaneously, which activates the Taq DNA polymerase to initiate downstream strand extension of ssDNA primer to yield specific dsDNA containing RNA promoter sequence. T7 RNA polymerase recognizes and binds to these promoter sequences to initiate RNA transcription reaction to produce many RNA aptamer sequences. These aptamers can recognize and bind with Malachite Green (MG) dye specifically and produce highly amplified fluorescent signal for monitoring Anti-Dig antibodies from 50 pM to 50 nM with a detection limit down to 33 pM. The method also exhibits high selectivity for Anti-Dig antibodies and can be used to discriminate trace Anti-Dig antibodies in diluted serum samples. Our method is superior to many immunization-based Anti-Dig antibody detection methods and thus holds great potential for monitoring disease progression and efficacy.

Nanocellulose@chitosan (nc@ch) composite beads were prepared via coagulation technique for the elimination of malachite green dye from aqueous solution. As malachite green dye is highly used in textile industries for dyeing purpose which after usage shows fatal effects to the ecosystems and human beings also. In this study the formulated nanocellulose@chitosan composite beads were characterized by Particle size analysis (PSA), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis were done to evaluate nanoparticles size distribution, morphological behaviour, functional group entities and degree of crystallinity of prepared beads. The nanocomposite beads adsorption performance was investigated for malachite green (MG) dye and BET analysis were also recorded to know about porous behaviour of the nanocomposite beads. Maximum removal of malachite green (MG) dye was found to be 72.0 mg/g for 100 ppm initial dye concentration. For accurate observations linear and non-linear modelling was done to know about the best-fitted adsorption model during the removal mechanism of dye molecules, on evaluating it has been observed that Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich isotherm show best-fitted observation in the case of linear and non-linear isotherm respectively (R2 = 0.96 & R2 = 0.957). In the case of kinetic linear models, the data was well fitted with pseudo-second-order showing chemosorption mechanism (R2 = 0.999), and in the case of non-linear kinetic model pseudo first order showed good fit showing physisorption mechanism during adsorption (R2 = 0.999). The thermodynamic study showed positive values for ΔH° and ΔS° throughout the adsorption process respectively, implying an endothermic behaviour. In view of cost effectiveness, desorption or regeneration study was done and it was showed that after the 5th cycle, the removal tendency had decreased from 48 to 38 % for 20-100 ppm dye solution accordingly. Thus, nanocomposite beads prepared by the coagulation method seem to be a suitable candidate for dye removal from synthetic wastewater and may have potential to be used in small scale textile industries for real wastewater treatment.

Deep-eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as promising candidates for preparing nanocomposites. In this study, a DES-based graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)/ZnO/Chitosan (Ch) nanocomposite was synthesized to remove malachite green (MG) dye from water. The DES was prepared by mixing and heating citric acid as a hydrogen bond acceptor and lactic acid as a hydrogen bond donor. This is the first report of the removal of MG using DES-based nanocomposites. Experiments on kinetics and isothermal adsorption were conducted to systematically explore the adsorption performances of nanocomposite toward dye. At 25 °C, the highest adsorption performance was obtained with alkaline media (>90 % removal). The greatest adsorption capacity (qm) was 59.52 mg g-1 at conditions (30 mg L-1 MG solution, pH 9, 3 mg nanocomposite per 10 mL of MG solution, 25 °C, 150 rpm, and 150 min) based on the calculation from the best-fitting isotherm model (Langmuir). The adsorption process was most appropriately kinetically described by the PSO model. The Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamic (MC) results are correlated with experimental findings to validate the theoretical predictions and enhance the overall understanding of the adsorption process. Electronic structure calculations reveal the nature of interactions, including hydrogen bonding and electrostatic forces, between the nanocomposite and MG molecules.

"Core/shell" composites are based on a ferrite core coated by two layers with different properties, one of them is an isolator, SiO2, and the other is a semiconductor, TiO2. These composites are attracting interest because of their structure, photocatalytic activity, and magnetic properties. Nanocomposites of the "core/shell" ÐFe2O4/SiO2/TiO2 (Ð = Zn(II), Co(II)) type are synthesized with a core of MFe2O4 produced by two different methods, namely the sol-gel method (SG) using propylene oxide as a gelling agent and the hydrothermal method (HT). SiO2 and TiO2 layer coating is performed by means of tetraethylorthosilicate, TEOS, Ti(IV) tetrabutoxide, and Ti(OBu)4, respectively. A combination of different experimental techniques is required to prove the structure and phase composition, such as XRD, UV-Vis, TEM with EDS, photoluminescence, and XPS. By Rietveld analysis of the XRD data unit cell parameters, the crystallite size and weight fraction of the polymorphs anatase and rutile of the shell TiO2 and of the ferrite core are determined. The magnetic properties of the samples, and their activity for the photodegradation of the synthetic industrial dyes Malachite Green and Rhodamine B are measured in model water solutions under UV light irradiation and simulated solar irradiation. The influence of the water matrix on the photocatalytic activity is determined using artificial seawater in addition to ultrapure water. The rate constants of the photocatalytic process are obtained along with the reaction mechanism, established using radical scavengers where the role of the radicals is elucidated.

SERS measurements for monitoring bactericides in dairy products are highly desired for food safety problems. However, the complicated preparation process of SERS substrates greatly impedes the promotion of SERS. Here, we propose acoustofluidic one-step synthesis of Ag nanoparticles on paper substrates for SERS detection. Our method is economical, fast, simple, and eco-friendly. We adopted laser cutting to cut out appropriate paper shapes, and aldehydes were simultaneously produced at the cutting edge in the pyrolysis of cellulose by laser which were leveraged as the reducing reagent. In the synthesis, only 5 µL of Ag precursor was added to complete the reaction, and no reducing agent was used. Our recently developed acoustofluidic device was employed to intensely mix Ag+ ions and aldehydes and spread the reduced Ag nanoparticles over the substrate. The SERS substrate was fabricated in 1 step and 3 min. The standard R6G solution measurement demonstrated the excellent signal and prominent uniformity of the fabricated SERS substrates. SERS detection of the safe concentration of three bactericides, including tetracycline hydrochloride, thiabendazole, and malachite green, from food samples can be achieved using fabricated substrates. We take the least cost, time, reagents, and steps to fabricate the SERS substrate with satisfying performance. Our work has an extraodinary meaning for the green preparation and large-scale application of SERS.

In recent years, MXene has become one of the most intriguing two-dimensional layered (2Dl) materials extensively explored for various applications. In this study, a Ti3C2 MXene/rGo-Cu2O Nanocomposite (TGCNCs) was developed to eliminate Safranin-O effectively (SO) and Acid Fuchsin (AF) as cationic dyes from the aquatic environment. Multistep was involved in the preparation of the adsorbent system, including the Preparation of Ti3C2, after that, GO synthesis by the Humer method, followed by rGO production, then added CuSO4 to obtain a final Nanocomposite (NCs) called "TGCNCs". The structure of TGCNCs can be varied in several ways, including FTIR, SEM, TGA, Zeta, EDX, XRD, and BET, to affirm the efficacious preparation of TGCNCs. A novel adsorbent system was developed to remove SO and AF, both cationic dyes. Various adsorption conditions have been optimized through batch adsorption tests, including the pH of the solution (4-12), the effect of dosage (0.003-0.03 g), the impact of the contact time (5-30 min), and the effect of beginning dye concentration (25-250 mg/L). Accordingly, the TGCNCs exhibited excellent fitting for Freundlich isotherm mode, resulting in maximum AF and SO adsorption capacities of 909.09 and 769.23 mg g-1. This research on adsorption kinetics suggests that a pseudo-second-order (PSO) model would fit well with the experimental data (RSO2 = 0.998 and RAF2 = 0.990). It is evident from the thermodynamic parameters that adsorption is an endothermic process that is spontaneous and favorable. During the adsorption of SO and AF onto NCs, it is hypothesized that these molecules interact intramolecularly through stacking interactions, H-bond interactions, electrostatic interactions, and entrapment within the polymeric Poros structure nanocomposite. Regeneration studies lasting up to five cycles were the most effective for both organic dyes under study.

Developing a multifunctional material that can detect and remove carcinogens in water environments, simultaneously monitor their toxic metabolites in living organisms is significant for environmental remediation and human health. However, most research only focused on detection or adsorption carcinogens due to the difficulty of integrating multiple functions into one material, let alone monitoring their toxic metabolites. Here, a multifunctional Tb/Eu@TATB-HOF (1) is first developed to monitor two carcinogens, malachite green (MG) and its metabolites leucomalachite green (LMG), and simultaneously remove MG from the contaminated water. 1, as the dual-emission fluorescence sensor, can achieve ultrasensitive and highly visualized sensing for MG and LMG with different response modes. Even in actual samples, 1 still exhibits satisfactory sensing performances. As the adsorbent, 1 displays good recyclability and high adsorption capacity for MG. The sensing and adsorption mechanisms are explored through experiments and theoretical calculations. This work not only provides a novel insight for environmental remediation and human health through detection and removal of carcinogens, simultaneously monitoring their toxic metabolites, but first reveals the enormous potential of HOFs as multifunctional materials simultaneously for fluorescence sensing and adsorption.

A label-free fluorescence method based on malachite green/aptamer was developed for the detection of ochratoxin A(OTA) in traditional Chinese medicines. Malachite green itself exhibits weak fluorescence. Upon interaction with the aptamer specific to OTA, the G-quadruplex structure of the aptamer provides a protective microenvironment for malachite green, which significantly enhances its fluorescence signal. After OTA is added, preferential binding occurs between the aptamer and OTA, and malachite green will be released from the aptamer, which weakens the fluorescence signal. According to this principle, this paper established a fluorescence method with the aptamer of OTA as the recognition element and malachite green as the fluorescent probe for the detection of OTA in traditional Chinese medicines. The key experimental factors such as the concentrations of metal ions, aptamer, and malachite green were optimized to improve the performance of the method. OTA was detected under the optimal experimental conditions, and the results showed that with the increase in OTA concentration, the fluorescence signal gradually weakened. Within the range of 20-1 000 nmol·L~(-1), the OTA concentration was linearly correlated with the fluorescence signal ratio ΔF/F(ΔF=F_0-F, where F_0 is the fluorescence signal of aptamer/malachite green, and F is the fluorescence signal of OTA/aptamer/malachite green), with R~2 of 0.995. The limit of detection of the established method was 7.1 nmol·L~(-1). Furthermore, three substances structurally similar to OTA and two mycotoxins that may coexist with OTA were selected for experiments, which aimed to examine the cross-reactivity and specificity of the established method. The cross-reactivity experiments demonstrated that the interferers did not significantly affect the fluorescence signal of the detection system. The specificity experiments revealed that when mycotoxins were mixed with OTA, the fluorescence signal generated by the mixture closely resembled that of OTA itself. The results indicated that even in the presence of interferents, the established method remained unaffected and demonstrated excellent specificity. Additionally, this method exhibited remarkable reproducibility and stability. In the case of simple centrifugation and dilution of traditional Chinese medicine samples(Puerariae Lobatae Radix, Sophorae Flavescentis Radix, and Periplocae Cortex), the OTA detection method was applicable, with recovery rates ranging from 91.5% to 121.3%. Notably, this approach does not need complex pretreatment of traditional Chinese medicines while offering simple operation, low detection costs, and short detection time. Furthermore, by incorporating aptamers into the quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicines, this method expands the application scope of aptamers.

Label-free nucleic acid fluorescent probes are gaining popularity due to their low cost and ease of application. However, the primary challenges associated with label-free fluorescent probes stem from their tendency to interact with other biomolecules, such as RNA, proteins, and enzymes, which results in low specificity. In this work, we have developed a simple detection platform that utilizes Fe3O4@PPy in combination with a label-free nucleic acid probe, 1,1,2,2-tetrakis[4-(2-bromo-ethoxy)phenyl]ethene (TTAPE) or Malachite Green (MG), for highly selective detection of metal ions, acetamiprid, and thrombin. Fe3O4@PPy not only adsorbs aptamers through electrostatic interactions, π-π bonding, and hydrogen bonding, but also quenches the fluorescence of the TTAPE/MG. Upon the addition of target compounds, the aptasensor separates from Fe3O4@PPy through magnetic separation. Moreover, by changing different aptamers, the aptasensor was applied to detect metal ions, acetamiprid, and thrombin, with the turned-on photoluminescence (PL) emission intensity recorded and showing linearity to the concentrations of targets. The robustness of method was demonstrated by applying it to real samples, which included vegetables (for detecting acetamiprid with LODs of 0.02 and 0.04 ng/L), serum samples (for detecting thrombin with LODs of 5.5 and 4.3 nM), and water samples (for detecting Pb2+ with an LOD of 0.17 nM). Therefore, due to its impressive selectivity and sensitivity, the Fe3O4@PPy aptasensor could be utilized as a universal detection platform for various clinical and environmental applications.

Currently, adsorbents with high adsorption performance for eliminating pollutants from discharged wastewater have received many researchers' attention. To this aim, a novel AMXGO absorbent was fabricated by intercalating graphene oxide (GO) into alkalized MXene (Alk-MXene) layer which exhibited high efficacy for the removal of cationic Malachite Green (MG) and anionic Congo Red (CR). Analysis of FTIR, XRD, SEM and TG presented that AMXGO absorbent have a typical three-dimensional layer by layer structure and abundant oxygen-containing groups and its thermal stability was remarkably improved. BET results elucidated that AMXGO1 adsorbent has larger specific surface area and pore volume (16.686 m2 g-1, 0.04733 cm3 g-1) as compared to Alk-MXene (4.729 m2 g-1, 0.02522 cm3 g-1). A dependence of adsorption performance on mass ratio between Alk-MXene and GO, initial dye concentration, contact time, temperature and pH was revealed. Maximum adsorption capacity of MG (1111.6 mg/g) and CR (1133.7 mg/g) were particularly found for AMXGO1 absorbent with a mass ratio of 3:1 and its removal for both dyes were higher than 92%. The adsorption process of AMXGO1 adsorbent for both MG and CR complies with pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model. In addition, adsorption mechanism was explored that synergism effects as electrostatic attraction, π-π conjugates, intercalation adsorption and pore filling were the main driving force for the high adsorption performance of dye. Therefore, AMXGO adsorbent has a potential application prospect in the purification of dye wastewater.

We describe a microwave-assisted, methanol and acetic acid-free, inexpensive method for rapid staining of SDS-PAGE proteins. Only citric acid, benzoic acid, and Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 (CBG) were used. Microwave irradiation reduced the detection duration, and proteins in a clear background were visualized within 30 min of destaining, after 2 min of fixing and 12 min of staining. By using this protocol, comparable band intensities were obtained to the conventional methanol/acetic acid method.

Morphology regulation of heterodimer nanoparticles and the use of their asymmetric features for further practical applications are crucial because of the rich optical properties and various combinations of heterodimers. This work used silicon to asymmetrically wrap half of a gold sphere and grew gold branches on the bare gold surface to form heterogeneous nano pineapples (NPPs) which can effectively improve Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties through chemical enhancement and lightning-rod effect respectively. The asymmetric structures of NPPs enabled them to self-assemble into the monolayer membrane with consistent branch orientation. The prepared substrate had high homogeneity and better SERS ability than disorganized substrates, and achieved reliable detection of malachite green (MG) in clams with a detection limit of 7.8 × 10-11 M. This work provided a guide to further revise the morphology of heterodimers and a new idea for the use of asymmetric dimers for practically photochemical and biomedical sensing.

Reports have shown that malachite green (MG) dye causes various hormonal disruptions and health hazards, hence, its removal from water has become a top priority. In this work, zinc oxide decorated plantain peels activated carbon (ZnO@PPAC) was developed via a hydrothermal approach. Physicochemical characterization of the ZnO@PPAC nanocomposite with a 205.2 m2/g surface area, porosity of 614.68 and dominance of acidic sites from Boehm study established the potency of ZnO@PPAC. Spectroscopic characterization of ZnO@PPAC vis-a-viz thermal gravimetric analyses (TGA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Powdered X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy and High Resolution - Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) depict the thermal stability via phase transition, functional group, crystallinity with interspatial spacing, morphology and spherical and nano-rod-like shape of the ZnO@PPAC heterostructure with electron mapping respectively. Adsorption of malachite green dye onto ZnO@PPAC nanocomposite was influenced by different operational parameters. Equilibrium data across the three temperatures (303, 313, and 323 K) were most favorably described by Freundlich indicating the ZnO@PPAC heterogeneous nature. 77.517 mg/g monolayer capacity of ZnO@PPAC was superior to other adsorbents compared. Pore-diffusion predominated in the mechanism and kinetic data best fit the pseudo-second-order. Thermodynamics studies showed the feasible, endothermic, and spontaneous nature of the sequestration. The ZnO@PPAC was therefore shown to be a sustainable and efficient material for MG dye uptake and hereby endorsed for the treatment of industrial effluent.

Malachite green (MG), a widely used antiparasitic agent, poses health risks to human due to its genotoxic and carcinogenic properties. Herein, a stable dual-emission fluoroprobe of carbon dots/copper nanoclusters is prepared for highly selective detection of MG based on the inner filter effect. This probe exhibits characteristic emission bands at 435 and 625 nm when excited at 376 nm. After adding MG, the both emission signals were significantly quenched, and the ratio of fluorescence intensity (F435/F625) was linearly related to the concentration of MG in the range of 0.05-40 µmol L-1 with a limit of detection of 18.2 nmol L-1. Meanwhile, the two signals exhibit linear relationships with the concentration of MG, respectively, and the corresponding detection results were consistent. The fluoroprobe was successfully used for the detection of MG in fish samples with the recoveries ranging from 96.0% to 103.8% and a relative standard deviation of <3.3%.

Malachite green (MG) dye and cadmium metal ion are toxic pollutants that should be removed from aqueous environment. The recent study aimed to examine the adsorption behavior of MG dye and Cd (II) from wastewater onto low-cost adsorbent prepared by activating corn silk with nitric acid (ACS) and characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, BET and TGA. The optimum MG and Cd (II) adsorption was observed at pH 7 and pH 9 and maximum uptake of both pollutants was at 0.5 g dosage, 60 mins contact time and 20 mg/L initial concentration. The retention of dye and metal ion by the studied adsorbent was best fit to Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo-second order kinetics. The maximum monolayer coverage capacity of ACS for MG dye and Cd (II) ion was 18.38 mg/g and 25.53 mg/g, respectively. Thermodynamic studies predicted a spontaneous reaction with exothermic process for MG dye whereas an endothermic and spontaneous process was confirmed for Cd ion based on estimated parameters. The adsorption mechanism of MG dye and Cd (II) uptake was by combination of electrostatic interaction, pore diffusion, ion exchange, pie-pie attraction, hydrogen bonding, and complexation. The adsorbed pollutants were effectively desorbed with significant regeneration efficiency after successive five cycles that proved the potential of low-cost biosorbent for selective sequestration of cationic dye and divalent metal ion from effluents.
The use of nitric acid-modified corn silk has been reported to enhance its adsorption performance over the unmodified cob for pollutants such as cadmium ions and malachite green. Although there may be no recorded data on the adsorption efficiency of acid-treated corn silk for selected pollutants, it can be considered as a prospective bio-sorbent owing to its chemical composition and functional groups for exchange of hydrogen ions for other cations.

Malachite green (MG) has been illicitly employed in aquaculture as a parasiticide, however, its teratogenic and carcinogenic effects pose a significant human health threat. Herein, a dual-mode colorimetric and electrochemical aptasensor was fabricated for MG detection, capitalizing on the robust catalytic and peroxidase-like activity of P-CeO2NR@Mxene and good capture efficiency of a tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) designed with multiple aptamers (m-TDN). P-CeO2NR@Mxene-modified complementary DNA (cDNA) served as both colorimetric and electrochemical probe. m-TDN was attached to AuE to capture MG and P-CeO2NR@Mxene/cDNA. The superior aptamer and MG binding to cDNA regulated signals and enabled precise MG quantification. The further introduced Exo I enabled aptamer hydrolysis, releasing MG for further binding rounds, allowing target recycling amplification. Under the optimal conditions, the aptasensor reached an impressively low detection limit 95.4 pM in colorimetric mode and 83.6 fM in electrochemical mode. We believe this dual-mode approach holds promise for veterinary drug residue detection.

The development of intelligent, sensitive, and visual methods for the rapid detection of veterinary drug residues is essential to ensure food quality and safety. Here, a smartphone-based dual inverse signal MOFs fluorescence sensing system was proposed for intelligent in-site visual detection of malachite green (MG). A UiO-66-NH2@RhB-dual-emission fluorescent probe was successfully synthesized in one step using a simple one-pot method. The inner filter effect (IFE) quenches the red fluorescence, while hydrogen bonding interaction enhances the blue fluorescence, enabling highly sensitive, accurate, and visual detection of MG dual inverse signals through fluorescence analysis. The probe showed great linearity over a wide range of 0.1-100 µmol/L, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 20 nmol/L. By integrating smartphone photography and RGB (red, green, and blue) analysis, accurate quantitative analysis of MG in water and actual fish samples can be achieved within 5 min. This developed platform holds great promise for the on-site detection of MG in practical applications, with the advantages of simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and rapidity. Consequently, it may open up a new pathway for on-site evaluation of food safety and environmental health.
