摘要
A fluorescent aptasensor for detection of oxytetracycline (OTC) was presented based on fluorescence quenching of DNA aptamer-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs). The specific DNA scaffolds with two different nucleotides fragments were used: one was enriched with a cytosine sequence fragment (C12) that could produce DNA-AgNCs via a chemical reduction method, and another was the OTC aptamer fragment that could selectively bind to the OTC antibiotic. Thus, the as-prepared AgNCs could exhibit quenched fluorescence after binding to the target OTC. The fluorescence ratio of the DNA-AgNCs was quenched in a linearly proportional manner to the concentration of the target in the range of 0.5 nM to 100 nM with a detection limit of 0.1 nM. This proposed nanobiosensor was demonstrated to be sensitive, selective, and simple, introducing a viable alternative for rapid determination of toxin OTC in honey and water samples.
