Problems solved by technology

Most of the currently reported aptamer electrochemical sensors for detecting ochratoxin A use the electrochemically active groups at the end of the aptamer. The change of the electrochemical signal of the electrochemically active group of toxin A, however, the change of the current signal is not large, and the detection sensitivity of some sensors is not high
Other nucleic acid aptamer electrochemical sensors require a very complicated preparation process, some signal amplification strategies, many detection steps, and time-consuming, and the electrochemical sensors cannot be regenerated and reused well, and the detection reproducibility is not good, so it is not easy operate
These electrochemical sensors cannot meet the demand for rapid and sensitive detection of ochratoxin A

Embodiment 1

[0046] Example 1: Preparation of nucleic acid aptamer electrochemical sensor

[0047] The present invention immobilizes the nucleic acid aptamer with the MB label on the specific T base and the thiol modification at the 5' end to the surface of the gold electrode as an electrochemical sensor, and the specific steps are as follows. The surface of the gold electrode was polished with alumina powder with a particle size of 0.05 μm, and then the electrode was ultrasonically cleaned with ultrapure water. Using a three-electrode system, at 0.5M H 2 SO 4 In the solution, repeated cyclic voltammetry scanning was performed in the range of -0.35V to 1.55V, and the surface of the gold electrode was electrochemically cleaned. Surface-treated clean gold electrodes were immersed in 50 μL of PBS solution (137mM NaCl, 2.7mM KCl, 10mM NaCl) containing the nucleic acid aptamer (500nM). 2 HPO 4 , 1.75mM KH 2 PO 4 , pH 7.5), let stand at room temperature for 1 hour, and then rinse with ultr...

[0048] Example 2: Comparison of the signal response to OTA of electrochemical sensors corresponding to nucleic acid aptamers labeled with MB at different T base positions

[0049] Using the method in Example 1, six kinds of electrochemical sensors were prepared, the difference being that the position of the MB label in the nucleic acid aptamer sequence was different. The different T base positions of the MB marker in the nucleic acid aptamer sequence are T3, T8, T10, T14, T19, and T30, respectively, corresponding to the 3rd, 8th, 10th, 14th, 19th, and 30th bases in the nucleic acid aptamer sequence Base T. By square-wave voltammetry, the sensor measured the peak current signals of MB in the blank sample and the sample solution containing 500 nM OTA, respectively. Such as figure 1 As shown, the electrochemical sensor corresponding to MB labeled on T30, the peak current signal of MB increased significantly in the OTA sample. In the presence of OTA in the electrochemical senso...

[0050] Embodiment 3: Electrochemical sensor detects OTA

[0051] According to the method in Example 1, an electrochemical sensor was prepared by using a nucleic acid aptamer labeled with MB at the 30th base T (T30) in the sequence to detect OTA. In square wave voltammetry, with the increase of OTA concentration, the peak current of MB around -0.25V gradually increased. figure 2 The typical square wave voltammetry detection curve results are shown in , and the OTA concentrations corresponding to the curves from low to high are 0, 20, 100, 500, and 2000 nM OTA, respectively. image 3 The relationship between MB peak current and OTA concentration in square wave voltammetry is given. The electrochemical sensor can detect 30 pM OTA. image 3 As shown, the highest detection concentration investigated in the experiment was 3 μM, and the MB peak current signal changed significantly, and the MB peak current value corresponding to 3 μM OTA increased by 112% compared with the MB peak ...

Abstract

The invention provides an electrochemical sensor and a detection method. The electrochemical sensor is constructed by an electrode modified by a nucleic acid aptamer marked with an electrochemical marker (such as methylene blue) on a specific base site, and ochratoxin A can be rapidly and sensitively detected. The corresponding nucleic acid aptamer is immobilized on a surface of a gold electrode by using terminal-labeled mercaptan. By investigating a series of marker sites, the marker sites capable of enabling the sensor to generate sensitive signal changes are optimized. The ochratoxin A canbe detected by measuring the electrochemical signal change of the electrochemical marker. The sensor is simple to operate, quick in response, high in sensitivity, renewable and reusable, and high in stability. The prepared electrochemical sensor can be used for detecting 30pM ochratoxin A, and can be used for detecting the ochratoxin A in a complex sample matrix.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemical analysis, in particular to an electrochemical sensor and method for detecting ochratoxin A. Background technique [0002] Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a secondary metabolite produced by fungi such as Aspergillus and Pmicilium. Ochratoxin A is likely to cause contamination to grains (corn and wheat, etc.), nuts, coffee, grapes and other agricultural products and foods, as well as processed foods. OTA poses health hazards to animals and humans after they consume OTA-contaminated food. Ochratoxin A can produce nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, immunotoxicity, carcinogenicity, etc. The World Organization for Cancer Research classifies OTA as a Class 2B carcinogen. The content of ochratoxin A in many agricultural products and foods needs to be strictly controlled, and strict limit standards have been established in various countries and regions. Incidents of ochratoxin A exceeding the standard in pr...
