    Abstract Upcycling Covid19 plastic waste into valuable carbonaceous materials for energy storage applications is a sustainable and green approach to minimize the burden of waste plastic on the environment. Herein, we developed a facile single step activation technique for producing activated carbon consisting of spherical flower like carbon nanosheets and amorphous porous flakes from used PET [poly(ethylene terephthalate)] face shields for supercapacitor applications. The as-obtained activated carbon exhibited a high specific surface area of 1571 m

    Abstract Hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy is a powerful method for direct visualisation and compositional analysis of cellular lipid droplets. Here we report the application of spectral phasor analysis as a convenient method for the segmentation of lipid droplets using the hyperspectral SRS spectrum in the high wavenumber and fingerprint region of the spectrum. Spectral phasor analysis was shown to discriminate six fatty acids based on vibrational spectroscopic features in solution. The methodology was then applied to studying fatty acid metabolism and storage in a mammalian cancer cell model and during drug-induced steatosis in a hepatocellular carcinoma cell model. The accumulation of fatty acids into cellular lipid droplets was shown to vary as a function of the degree of unsaturation, whilst in a model of drug-induced steatosis, the detection of increased saturated fatty acid esters was observed. Taking advantage of the fingerprint and high wavenumber regions of the SRS spectrum has yielded a greater insight into lipid droplet composition in a cellular context. This approach will find application in the label-free profiling of intracellular lipids in complex disease models.

    Abstract Hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy is a robust imaging tool for the analysis of biological systems. Here, we present a unique perspective, a label-free spatiotemporal map of mitosis, by integrating hyperspectral SRS microscopy with advanced chemometrics to assess the intrinsic biomolecular properties of an essential process of mammalian life. The application of spectral phasor analysis to multiwavelength SRS images in the high-wavenumber (HWN) region of the Raman spectrum enabled the segmentation of subcellular organelles based on innate SRS spectra. Traditional imaging of DNA is primarily reliant on using fluorescent probes or stains which can affect the biophysical properties of the cell. Here, we demonstrate the label-free visualization of nuclear dynamics during mitosis coupled with an evaluation of its spectral profile in a rapid and reproducible manner. These results provide a snapshot of the cell division cycle and chemical variability between intracellular compartments in single-cell models, which is central to understanding the molecular foundations of these fundamental biological processes. The evaluation of HWN images by phasor analysis also facilitated the differentiation between cells in separate phases of the cell cycle based solely on their nuclear SRS spectral signal, which offers an interesting label-free approach in combination with flow cytometry. Therefore, this study demonstrates that SRS microscopy combined with spectral phasor analysis is a valuable method for detailed optical fingerprinting at the subcellular level.

    Abstract Due to their programmable structures, many aptamers can be readily split into two halves while still retaining their target binding function. While split aptamers are prevalent in the biosensor field, fundamental studies of their binding are still lacking. In this work, we took advantage of the fluorescence enhancement property of a new aptamer named OTC5 that can bind to tetracycline antibiotics to compare various split aptamers with the full-length aptamer. The split aptamers were designed to have different stem lengths. Longer stem length aptamers showed similar dissociation constants (

    Abstract Five carbapenemase enzymes, coined the 'big five', have been identified as the biggest threat to worldwide antibiotic resistance based on their broad substrate affinity and global prevalence. Here we show the development of a molecular detection method for the gene sequences from the five carbapenemases utilising the isothermal amplification method of recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). We demonstrate the successful detection of each of the big five carbapenemase genes with femtomolar detection limits using a spatially separated multiplex amplification strategy. The approach uses tailed oligonucleotides for hybridisation, reducing the complexity and cost of the assay compared to classical RPA detection strategies. The reporter probe, horseradish peroxidase, generates the measureable output on a benchtop microplate reader, but more notably, our study leverages the power of a portable Raman spectrometer, enabling up to a 19-fold enhancement in the limit of detection. Significantly, the development approach employed a solid-phase RPA format, wherein the forward primers targeting each of the five carbapenemase genes are immobilised to a streptavidin-coated microplate. The adoption of this solid-phase methodology is pivotal for achieving a successful developmental pathway when employing this streamlined approach. The assay takes 2 hours until result, including a 40 minutes RPA amplification step at 37 °C. This is the first example of using solid-phase RPA for the detection of the big five and represents a milestone towards the developments of an automated point-of-care diagnostic for the big five using RPA.

    Abstract A model for the prediction of the depth of two 'flavours' of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active nanotags embedded within porcine tissue is demonstrated using ratiometric analysis. Using a handheld spatially offset Raman (SORS) instrument, SESORS signals could be detected from nanotags at depths down to 48 mm for the first time using a backscattering SORS geometry.
