The development of fluorescent probes for the sensitive and selective determination of highly toxic thiophenols is considerably important in the fields of biological and environmental sciences. Herein, a turn-on fluorescent probe for thiophenol, named MCSH, was constructed based on a pKa shift mechanism, employing merocyanine dye as the fluorophore and 2,-4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamide (DNBS) group as the recognition unit. The imine nitrogen of MCSH has a pKa value of 4.12, which renders its non-fluorescent Schiff base form exclusively under neutral conditions. However, after reacting with thiophenols, its DNBS group was removed to afford a merocyanine dye as the final product, whose pKa value upshifts to 8.11, and was present mainly as the fluorescent protonated Schiff base form under neutral media. Such drastic change in pKa values leads to a significant fluorescence enhancement and can be utilized for the detection of thiophenols. The fluorescence intensity at 627 nm increases linearly with thiophenol concentration in the range of 0.2-3 μM with a detection limit of 15 nM (S/N = 3). Linsitinib nmr MCSH displays high selectivity for the detection of thiophenols over a wide range of other analytes, including aliphatic thiols. Furthermore, the preliminary applications of MCSH for monitoring thiophenols in living cells and environmental have been carried out.Liquid core waveguide (LCW) is well-known as an effective fiber enhanced approach for Raman spectroscopy with features of long optical path and small sampling size. However, inevitable air bubbles introduced in the LCW tube possibly caused light scattering, refraction and reflection so as to further hamper the quantitative analysis. In this work, to eliminate air bubbles, a novel negative pressure system combined with 3D printing was first utilized for the enhanced Raman spectroscopy on the principle of the gas permeability of LCW tube. After optimization, the LCW tube made of Teflon-AF was inserted into a D-shaped support with an internal channel manufactured by 3D printing to create a sealed space; then, air pressure outside the LCW tube was reduced to create a negative pressure via diaphragm pump and magnetic valve controlled by computer. Under adjustable negative pressure, not only can liquid sample be introduced into the LCW tube automatically, but air bubbles can also be removed through the tube wall sith. Considering the flexibility of LCW tube, as a versatile module, the negative pressure LCW system should be further suitable to ultraviolet, fluorescence and other detectors, which reveals a favorable application prospect for the fast testing instruments.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are considered as the potential biomarkers for many cancers. To determine miRNAs in cancer cells is significant for realizing these diseases. In this work, a microfluidic paper-based laser-induced fluorescence sensor based on duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) amplification was developed and applied to selectively and sensitively determine miRNAs in cancer cells. An interface for laser-induced fluorescence detection was firstly applied to perform the sample detection on the paper-based chip. Under the optimal conditions, DSN (3 μL 0.10 U) and Taqman probes (2 μL 2.5 × 10-7 M) were preserved on the circles (Diameter 4 mm) of the folded paper chip. When miRNA solution was added, the mixed solution could trigger fluorescence signal amplification by cyclically digesting hybrids of miRNAs and Taqman probes by DSN. The whole determination, including sample heating process, could be accomplished within 40 min. The detection limits for miRNA-21 and miRNA-31 were 0.20 and 0.50 fM respectively, corresponding to only 1.0 and 1.5 zmol consumption of miRNAs. The testing of mismatched miRNAs showed that the method had good specificity. Finally, the method was applied to determine miRNA-21 and miRNA-31 in lysates of cancer cells of A549 and HeLa, and hepatocyte LO2. MiRNA-21 and miRNA-31 could be successfully found from the two cancer cells. The concentrations for miRNA-21 and miRNA-31 were 1.74 × 10-13 M and 6.29 × 10-14 M in HeLa cell lysate (3.75 × 104 cells/mL), 3.07 × 10-15 M and 3.28 × 10-15 M in A549 cell lysate (8.33 × 106 cells/mL) respectively. The recoveries ranged from 87.30% to 111.83%, indicating the results were reliable. The developed method was effective, selective and sensitive in the determination of miRNAs in cancer cells.Sulfur is an essential element in industry, but it is difficult to be detected by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). In this work, the disulfide radical Raman scattering was observed in sulfur plasma by combining LIBS with resonance Raman scattering (LIBS-RRS). Sulfur has been ablated by a focused laser beam to generate plasma, in which some sulfur atoms were combined to form disulfide radicals. The disulfide radical resonance Raman was excited by a 306.4 nm wavelength laser and observed at 710 and 1420 cm-1 Raman shift. Using different contents of sulfur mixed with alumina (Al2O3) powder, both LIBS and LIBS-RRS calibrations were obtained at the same ablation laser energy. The calibration curve of sulfur atomic emission S I 921.28 nm was set up, and the linear coefficient (R2) was 0.285 and the detection limit (LoD) was 13.092 wt %. While the R2 was 0.966 and LoD was 0.118 wt % for S2 710 cm-1 in LIBS-RRS. The results indicate that disulfide radical Raman scattering by LIBS-RRS is promising for the determination of sulfur content and the diagnosis of molecular evolution in plasma.Considering the threat of H2O2 to human health and environmental security, it is of great significance to develop rapid, accurate and sensitive analytical methods for H2O2 detection. In this work, porous regular hexagonal-shaped FeS2 nanosheets (NSs) with a side length of about 1 μm are employed as a peroxidase mimic to detect H2O2. The Km of the FeS2 NSs for H2O2 (0.00342 mM) is much lower than actual enzyme HRP (3.7 mM). The FeS2 NSs exhibit high sensitivity in linear range of 0.02-4.00 μM of H2O2 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 7.60 nM (S/N = 3). The Fe ion in the FeS2 NSs is the active site. No obvious effect on the determination was found when K+, NH4+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Al3+, Ba2+, Ca2+, NO3-, glucose and sucrose were added in the solution, respectively. The FeS2 NSs were also applied to rapidly detect H2O2 concentrations in different actual samples, such as lens solution, beer and disinfectant.
