研究目的
To develop a rapid and highly sensitive aptasensor for the simultaneous detection of fumonisin B1 (FB1) and ochratoxin A (OTA) mycotoxins using time-resolved fluorescence nanoparticles and magnetic nanoparticles.
研究成果
The developed aptasensor successfully enables simultaneous detection of FB1 and OTA with high sensitivity and specificity, outperforming existing methods. It shows good applicability in real maize samples with high recovery rates, indicating its potential for food safety monitoring. Future work could extend this to other mycotoxins and matrices.
研究不足
The method may require optimization for other food matrices beyond maize. The synthesis and conjugation processes are complex and might not be easily scalable. Potential interferences from other compounds in real samples were not fully explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study designed an aptasensor using time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) nanoparticles (NaYF4: Ce, Tb and NH2-Eu/DPA@SiO2 NPs) as signal probes and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) conjugated with aptamers as capture probes. The method leverages the long fluorescence lifetime of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles to eliminate background fluorescence interference and uses an avidin-biotin system for conjugation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Maize samples were purchased from local markets and prepared using standard extraction methods. Synthetic mycotoxins (OTA, FB1, T-2, AFB1, OTB, ZEN) were used for specificity tests.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Key materials include Eu(NO3)3, EDC, DPA, NHS, TEOS, Tb(NO3)3·5H2O, Y(NO3)3·6H2O, Ce(NO3)3·6H2O, APTES, FeCl3·6H2O, aptamers, cDNA, avidin, and various buffers. Equipment includes TEM (JEOL 2100F), FT-IR spectrophotometer (Nicolet Nexus 470), XRD (D8-advance), UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu UV-1800), ultrasonic bath (KJ-300), and microplate reader (Synergy H1).

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Synthesis of MNPs, TRF-NPs, and their functionalization with avidin and aptamers/cDNA. Detection involves incubating samples with probes, magnetic separation, and measuring fluorescence at 544 nm (for FB1) and 618 nm (for OTA) using a microplate reader with specific delay and gate times.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Fluorescence intensities were measured, and calibration curves were established using linear regression. LODs were calculated based on standard deviation and blank signals. Specificity was assessed by comparing responses to non-target mycotoxins.
