Metal-organic gels (MOGs) are a type of metal-organic colloid material with a large specific surface area, loose porous structure, and open metal active sites. In this work, FeNi-MOGs were synthesized by the simple one-step static method, using Fe(III) and Ni(II) as the central metal ions and terephthalic acid as the organic ligand. The prepared FeNi-MOGs could effectively catalyze the chemiluminescence of luminol without the involvement of H2O2, which exhibited good catalytic activity. Then, the multifunctional detected platform was constructed for the detection of GSH and Hg2+, based on the antioxidant capacity of GSH, and the strong affinity between mercury ion (Hg2+) and GSH which inactivated the antioxidant capacity of GSH. The experimental limits of detection (LOD) for GSH and Hg2+ were 76 nM and 210 nM, and the detection ranges were 2-100 μM and 8-4000 μM, respectively. The as-proposed sensor had good performance in both detection limit and detection range of GSH and Hg2+, which fully met the needs of daily life. Surprisingly, the sensor had low detection limits and an extremely wide detection range for Hg2+, spanning five orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the detection of mercury ions in actual lake water and GSH in human serum showed good results, with recovery rates ranging from 90.10 % to 105.37 %, which proved that the method was accurate and reliable. The as-proposed sensor had great potential as the platform for GSH and Hg2+ detection applications.

As a food adapted to all kinds of people, milk has a high nutritional value. Because milk is a complex biological matrix, detecting illegal compounds is often difficult. As a common pesticide, organophosphorus (OP) residues caused by nonstandard use may be ignored, which is a threat to milk quality. In this study, using coumaphos as template molecule, the synthesized molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) can specifically recognize 7 kinds of OP. Then, the MIP was used as an identification element to prepare a chemiluminescence sensor on a 96-well microplate for the determination of OP residues in milk samples. Due to the 4-(imidazol-1-yl)phenol-enhanced luminol-H2O2 system, the sensitivity of the system is very high; the detection limits of 7 OP including coumaphos, fenthion, chlorpyrifos, parathion, diazinon, fenchlorphos, and fenitrothion were 1 to 3 pg/mL, and the half maximal inhibitory concentrations were 1 to 20 ng/mL. The intraday recoveries of 7 OP were in the range of 86.1 to 86.5%, and the interday recoveries were in the range of 83.6 to 94.2%. Furthermore, the sensor can be reused up to 5 times. Therefore, the MIP-based chemiluminescence sensor can be used as a routine tool to detect OP residues in milk samples.

In this study, a molecularly imprinted polymer capable of recognizing 15 sulfonamides was first synthesized with sulfabenz as the dummy template. The calculation results from computation simulation showed that the specific 3D conformation of the template had an important influence on the polymer\'s recognition ability. Then, the polymer was used as recognition reagent to prepare a chemiluminescence sensor on a conventional 96-well microplate for the determination of the residues of 15 sulfonamides in meat (chicken and pork). Due to the 4-(imidazol-1-yl)phenol-enhanced luminol-H2O2 system, the limits of detection for the 15 analytes were in the range of 1.0-12 pg/mL. The recoveries from the standard fortified blank samples were in the range of 72.7-99%. Furthermore, one assay could be finished within 30 min, and the sensor could be reused 4 times. Therefore, this sensor could be used as a very useful tool for routine screening of residues of sulfonamides in meat samples.

The objective of this study is to report a molecularly imprinted polymer-based chemiluminescence method for determination of Sudan dyes. A dummy-template molecularly imprinted polymer capable of recognizing seven Sudan dyes was first synthesized and its recognition mechanism was studied by using computation simulation method. The polymer was coated in the wells of conventional microplate to prepare a chemiluminescence sensor and the assay process consisted of only one sample-loading step prior to signal acquisition. The optimized sensor was used to determine the seven dyes in egg yolk and the results were confirmed with a high performance liquid chromatography. Results showed that this sensor achieved ultrahigh sensitivity (1.0-5.0 pg/mL), rapid assay process (10 min) and satisfactory recovery (70.5%-92.2%). Furthermore, the sensor could be reused for 5 times. Therefore, this sensor could be used as a useful tool for screening the residues of Sudan dyes in egg.

In this study, a molecularly imprinted polymer capable of recognizing 8 benzimidazoles was first synthesized. The computation simulation showed that the shape and size of used template were the main factors influencing its recognition ability. Then the polymer was used as recognition reagent to prepare a chemiluminescence sensor on conventional 96-well microplate. The sample solution and a HRP-labeled hapten were added into the microplate wells to perform competitive binding, and the light signal was initiated with 4-(imidazol-1-yl)phenol enhanced luminol-H2O2 system. The optimized sensor was used to determine the residues of 8 benzimidazoles in mutton and beef. Result showed that the sensor achieved ultrahigh sensitivity (limits of detection of 1.5-21 pg/mL), rapid assay process (18 min) and satisfactory recovery (65.8%-91.2%). Furthermore, this sensor could be reused for 4 times. Therefore, this sensor could be used as a rapid, simple, sensitive and durable tool for screening the residual benzimidazoles in meat.
