Colorimetric and Fluorescent Dual-Mode Detection of Aflatoxin B1 Using Composite Nanomaterial
In this study,a highly sensitive portable platform with colorimetric and fluorescent dual-mode signal output for the detection of aflatoxin B,(AFB1)was developed based on the reaction between glutathione and a composite nanomaterial consisting of manganese dioxide(MnO2)nanoparticles and graphene quantum dots(GQDs)as a substrate.The recognition probe was prepared by using silica nanoparticles as a carrier to enrich glutathione and AFB1 aptamers.Under optimal conditions,analytical figures of merit such as specificity of this method were studied.The regression equation for colorimetric signal was △A=-0.275-0.02 1lgC and the detection limit was 2.732 × 10-12 g/mL;the regression equation for fluorescence signal was △F=928.733+71.7791gC and the detection limit was 1.667 × 10-12 g/mL.Both methods had good detection specificity.The proposed method was applied in the detection of food samples,such as milk,rice,oatmeal,soy sauce and white vinegar with higher accuracy,compared with the traditional method.
