This invention relates to a method for preparing a bimodal hydrogel detection
reagent for
carbofuran residues in cucumbers, belonging to the field of
food safety testing. The bimodal hydrogel detection
reagent is a hydrogel-like detection
reagent synthesized by adding a
copper-doped
metal-organic framework to a
sodium alginate-
calcium carbonate hydrogel
system. The bimodal hydrogel detection reagent is a three-dimensional
network structure material. The
detection limit of the bimodal hydrogel detection reagent for
carbofuran in cucumbers is 17.59 μM in the colorimetric mode (0-250 μM) and 5.98 μM in the
fluorescence mode (0-180 μM), achieving bimodal detection. This not only enables real-time on-
site monitoring of
carbofuran residues in cucumbers but also ensures the accuracy of the detection results through cross-validation between the two
modes; the detection time is within 1.5 hours, and it exhibits good specificity for carbofuran residues in cucumbers.
