https://www.selleckchem.com/products/wrw4.html The versatility of the proposed sensing system was demonstrated by implementing an indirect competitive ELISA for analyzing trace drug residues in foodstuffs. The multicolor response of this sensing strategy allows us to visually quantify drug residues in foodstuffs. Moreover, the smartphone-based immunosensor can assess the exact concentration of the analyte by using a self-designed mobile application. The proposed assay provides a highly sensitive performance that the limit of detection was 0.37 ng/mL by visual detection and 0.057 ng/mL using the compact device. Due to its advantages in terms of portability, straightforward visual detection, high sensitivity, and cost effectiveness, the proposed immunosensor has great potential for applications in areas without access to laboratories or expensive infrastructure. Sensitive imaging of intracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) in cells is of great significance in clinical diagnoses and disease treatments, and it remains a major challenge to achieve this goal. Herein, we report a new in situ rolling circle transcription synchronization machinery (RCTsm) of lighting-up RNA aptamer strategy for highly sensitive imaging and selective differentiation of miRNA expression levels in cells. Such a RCTsm approach utilizes a DNA promoter to recycle the target miRNAs to trigger the initiation of multiple RCT process for the yield of many lighting-up RNA aptamers. The malachite green dye further binds these aptamers to show significantly enhanced fluorescence for completely label-free detection of the target miRNAs with a high sensitivity in vitro with a low femtomolar detection limit. More importantly, sensitive detection of under-expressed miRNAs in cells and distinct differentiation of the miRNA expression variations in different cells can also be realized with this RCTsm approach in a washing-free format, making it a versatile and useful tool for imaging trace miRNAs in single cells with
