Abstract
In this work, a molecularly imprinted electrochemical aptamer sensor (MIEAS) for the detection of enrofloxacin (ENR) was developed using SnO2-graphene (SnO2-Gr) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as electrode modification materials. The SnO2-Gr composite material has a large specific surface area and can enhance the conductivity of the sensing platform. The aptamer, serving as a biofunctional monomer, was immobilized on the electrode surface via Au-S bonds. Using ENR as the template molecule and nicotinamide (NA) as the chemical functional monomer, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film was prepared by electropolymerization. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of MIP and aptamer, this MIEAS exhibits a good linear relationship with ENR in the range of 10-14 to 10-5 M, and the detection limit is as low as 1.65 × 10-15 M. Satisfactory recovery was obtained in milk and environmental water samples, indicating the potential for application in food and environmental analysis.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
