Abstract
The paper presents the study results of luminescent sensor, based on colloidal AgS quantum dots, passivated with L-cysteine molecules (AgS/L-Cys QDs) for oxytetracycline (OTC) detection in raw milk. Its work is based on QDs luminescence quenching in the spectral region, which is free from the intrinsic luminescence of the raw milk and OTC (725 nm). A working sensor mechanism was proposed. It is based on the formation of a non-luminescent complex with charge transfer between OTC and AgS/L-Cys QDs due to binding the antibiotic with passivator. The sensor parameters were established. The limit of detection (LOD) is 0.53 M in milk, limit of quantitative detection (LOQ) is 1.16 M, linear range is 0–20 M. These parameters are comparable with known luminescent sensor analogs for raw milk.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
