Abstract
Nowadays, notable progress has been achieved in detecting foodborne toxins by employing nanoenzyme-based lateral flow immunoassay (NLFIA) sensors in point-of-care testing (POCT). It continues to be a major challenge to maximize the enzyme-like performance of nanozymes for educe any potential uncertainties in catalytic process. In this study, we employed a facile and efficient self-assembly approach to fabricate nucleoid-shell structured biomimetic nanospheres CuS@Au-Pt (CAP), which demonstrates enhanced brightness of the colorimetric signal, excellent affinity, and excellent peroxidase activity. The integration of CAP with a competitive-assay NLFIA platform enabled sensitive immunochromatographic detection of bongkrekic acid (BA), with LOD as low as 0.66 ng/mL. After signal amplification through enzyme-like reaction, the detection range was extended around 1-fold. Additionally, CAP-NLFIA effectively detected BA with a recovery rate of 80.96–119.36% for real samples. The study proposes using CAP as a signal reporter in a dual-readout LFIA, which can establish a high throughput sensitive detection platform.
