Although isocarbophos is a widely used insecticide, its toxicity to aquatic organisms has not been well characterized. In this study, zebrafish were exposed to isocarbophos at concentrations of 50 µg L-1 and 200 µg L-1 to assess its bioaccumulation, metabolic disruption, and oxidative stress.
A novel label-free and enzyme-free detection strategy has been developed for the fluorescent detection of isocarbophos (ICP) using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and G-quadruplex as the signal transducers. In this work, the split ICP aptamer were attached to a G-quadruplex
Fullerol (C60OH) has been shown to catalyze the trisodium citrate (TSC)-silver nitrate reaction to generate Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs). These AgNPs exhibit significant nanoplasmic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), and absorption (Abs). When an aptamer (Apt) adsorbs on
With increasing industrialization of food production, residues of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are more frequently found in the environment including rivers, lakes and soils. Extended exposure to OPs, even at a level below 1 nM, may lead to liver and central nervous
A simple and dual modal (colorimetric and fluorescent) sensor for organophosphate pesticides with high sensitivity and selectivity using adenosine triphosphate (ATP)- and rhodamine B-modified gold nanoparticles (RB-AuNPs), was successfully fabricated. This detection for ethoprophos afforded colorimetric and fluorescence imaging changes
