研究目的
To develop a rapid, sensitive, and selective method for detecting trace levels of bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and aptamer technology.
研究成果
The developed SERS-based aptasensor provides a sensitive (LOD of 8 pM), selective, and rapid method for DEHP detection in environmental and food samples, with performance comparable to existing methods and suitability for field applications using portable equipment.
研究不足
The aptasensor showed higher standard deviation in carbonated drinks due to acidic pH, potentially affecting precision. The method requires specific aptamers and functionalized particles, which may limit generalizability to other analytes without similar modifications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A competitive binding assay format was used, where DEHP aptamers are immobilized on magnetic particles, and SERS silica particles functionalized with a DEHP analog compete with DEHP for binding. SERS signals from unbound particles are measured to quantify DEHP concentration.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included spiked PBS buffer, tap water, bottled mineral water, and carbonated drinks purchased locally.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Silver nanoparticles, magnetic beads (Dynabeads MyOne Streptavidin C1), DEHP aptamers, Raman reporter molecule (DTNB), silica coating materials (TEOS, APTMS), functionalization reagents (EDC-HCl, Sulfo-NHS), and various chemicals from suppliers like Sigma Aldrich and Toronto Research Chemicals.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis of AgNPs, functionalization with DTNB, clustering with NaCl, silica coating, functionalization with DEHP analog, immobilization of aptamers on magnetic beads, competitive binding assay with DEHP samples, magnetic separation, and SERS measurement using a portable Raman spectrometer.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
SERS spectra were baseline corrected, and intensity at 1336 cm?1 was used for calibration. Limit of detection and selectivity were evaluated using statistical methods, with coefficients of variation calculated for precision.
