Polycarboxyl ionic liquid functionalized Yb-MOFs nanoballs based dual-wavelength responsive photoelectrochemical aptasensor for the simultaneous determination of AFB1 and OTA

Anal Chim Acta. 2024 Apr 15;1298:342383. doi: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342383. Epub 2024 Feb 17.ABSTRACTDeveloping an accurate and precise approach for the simultaneous detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is significant for food safety surveillance. Herein, a photoelectrochemical sensing platform was constructed based on polycarboxylic ionic liquid functionalized metal-organic framework integrated with gold nanoparticles (Yb-MOFs@AuNPs). Sulfhydryl functionalized hairpin DNA (hDNA) was immobilized on a Yb-MOFs@AuNPs modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface through Au-S bond. After blocking residual active binding sites with BSA, gold nanoparticles-labeled AFB1 aptamer (AuNPs-Apt 1) and gold nanorods-labeled OTA aptamer (AuNRs-Apt 2) were introduced to construct a photoelectrochemical aptasensor for the simultaneous determination of AFB1 and OTA. Due to the surface plasmon resonance effect and the nanometer size effect of gold nanomaterials, the photoelectrochemical aptasensor can output photocurrent responses as being excited with different wavelengths at 520 nm and 808 nm, respectively. When the AFB1 and OTA concentration in the range of 0.001-50.0 ng mL-1, a good linear relationship between the photocurrent difference (ΔI) before and after recognizing targets and the logarithm of AFB1 or OTA concentration was obtained. The detection limits for AFB1 and OTA were 0.40 pg mL-1 and 0.19 pg mL-1, respectively. AFB1 and OTA in corn samples were detected simul...
