Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of spectral analysis, and relates to construction of a long-afterglow aptamer sensor and application of the long-afterglow aptamer sensor in carbendazim detection. BACKGROUND
[0002] Carbendazim (CBZ) is a widely used broad-spectrum fungicide in the prevention of agricultural fungal diseases. However, the benzimidazole ring in the molecular structure of carbendazim has high stability and is prone to long-term residue in the environment. Excessive use of carbendazim can lead to accumulation of carbendazim in agricultural products and the ecological environment, and enrichment through the food chain, which poses a potential risk to human health and ecological safety, such as causing spermatogenic disorders, testicular deformities, kidney toxicity, and embryonic toxicity in mammals. The World Health Organization has listed carbendazim as a dangerous chemical, and the European Union has identified it as an endocrine disruptor. Many countries have implemented restriction measures: the European Union has banned carbendazim from being used in the ninth category of biological fungicide products and has limited its application in the fields of grains and feed; Brazil has completely banned the use of carbendazim. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a rapid, sensitive, and accurate method for detecting carbendazim residues to protect food safety and ecological environment safety.
[0003] At present, the detection techniques for carbendazim mainly include high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography / mass spectrometry, fluorescence immunoassay, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical method. Among them, the fluorescence analysis method is favored due to its simple operation, rapid response, and high sensitivity. Especially, the introduction of specific recognition groups and the detection strategy of reading ratio self-calibration can effectively improve the detection specificity and reduce the influence of factors such as probe concentration fluctuation, instrument difference, operation error, and environmental interference on the detection results, significantly improving the detection accuracy. However, the existing fluorescence detection methods generally rely on external light source excitation, which is difficult to avoid the interference of autofluorescence generated by complex sample matrix. Although the fluorescence aptamer sensing system has shown outstanding advantages in specific detection, it mostly needs the joint action of aptamer complementary chains, which is complicated to prepare and increases the cost. Therefore, it is of great significance to design a simple construction strategy and develop a new method for detecting carbendazim that has flexibility, selectivity, and high sensitivity, and can effectively avoid autofluorescence and external interference for complex sample analysis. SUMMARY
[0004] [TECHNICAL PROBLEM]
[0005] Most fluorescence analysis methods are difficult to avoid the self-fluorescence interference of complex sample matrix due to the need for continuous excitation light, resulting in lower accuracy of detection results. When using long afterglow materials for detection, the characteristics of not needing continuous excitation can effectively avoid matrix interference and improve signal-to-noise ratio. Current long afterglow detection probes mostly rely on single luminescence signal, and the detection results are easily affected by factors such as instrument parameters, detection time and probe concentration, resulting in errors. Although the long afterglow probe based on double signals shows the advantage of self-calibration reading, it still needs to be constructed by complementary strands, and there are problems such as high preparation cost and complex method.

[0049] Mix a series of known concentration of carbendazim standard solution with the long-afterglow ratio type aptamer sensor ZGM-apt-MB and incubate for a period of time, and then measure the luminescence intensity at 542±5 nm and 700±5 nm by phosphorescence and fluorescence modes on a fluorescence spectrometer, to obtain luminescence intensity I1 and I2, and calculate the luminescence intensity ratio I1 / I2; and construct a linear quantitative model with the concentration of the carbendazim standard sample and the luminescence intensity ratio I1 / I2.

[0056] Long afterglow nanomaterials have unique energy storage properties. After absorbing excitation light, they can store energy and continuously release phosphorescence after the excitation source is removed. This property enables in-situ excitation-free detection. By avoiding continuous irradiation of external light sources, the material can effectively suppress the interference of autofluorescence generated by complex sample matrix, significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection signal. However, current detection probes based on long afterglow materials mostly use single signal output mode. This detection method is easily affected by factors such as instrument performance fluctuations and probe concentration differences, leading to unstable detection results and the need for strict control of complex experimental conditions. Therefore, developing a long afterglow ratio sensor with low cost, simple preparation process, simplified operation process, and stable optical performance has become a key direction to break through the bottleneck of existing technology. Based on zinc germanate manganese-doped long afterglow material (ZGM) and methylene blue with fluorescence properties, the present application constructs a complementary strand-free ratio-type aptamer sensor. By utilizing the overlapping characteristics of the ultraviolet absorption spectrum of methylene blue and the phosphorescence emission spectrum of ZGM, and through the resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism, the phosphorescence quenching of the probe ZGM and the fluorescence enhancement of methylene blue are realized. Then, a complementary strand-free long afterglow ratio-type aptamer sensor is constructed for high-sensitivity detection of carbendazim (CBZ) residues in food, belonging to the field of spectral analysis technology. The characteristic emission peaks of the constructed long afterglow ratio-type aptamer sensor are green phosphorescence emission at 542 nm and fluorescence emission at 700 nm. This probe has the advantages of no in-situ excitation, no background and exogenous interference, and high specificity, and can accurately and specifically detect CBZ residues in food samples. It shows good application potential in food carbendazim detection. This research not only provides a new idea for the design of ratio-type fluorescent aptamer sensors, but also provides an innovative technical solution for on-site rapid detection of pollutants.
[0057] [Advantages]
[0058] (1) The sensor probe can realize ratio detection of CBZ at two wavelengths of 542 nm phosphorescence emission and 700 nm fluorescence emission, combined with specific aptamer, which can effectively avoid the influence of external factors and probe concentration during detection, and improve the accuracy of detection results. In addition, the sensor also has high affinity and selectivity of aptamer to CBZ, which further improves the sensitivity and accuracy of detection.
[0059] (2) The method has strong scalability, and can realize ratio detection of different target objects combined with different aptamers.
[0060] (3) The sensor does not need multiple luminophores, does not need to regulate the proportion of signal emitting groups, and does not need complementary chains, so that the sensor construction is more simple and the cost is reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The mixed solution 2 was incubated at 37°C for 12 h.

[0083] A long afterglow ratio type aptamer spectral analysis method for detecting carbendazim without complementary chain is a ratio type detection method based on two materials of green light phosphorescence emission (542 nm) long afterglow nanomaterial ZGM and red light fluorescence emission (700 nm) methylene blue, which realizes ratio detection of carbendazim in food.
[0084] Construction of the long afterglow ratio type aptamer spectral analysis method for carbendazim: a series of standard solutions of carbendazim with different concentrations were added to the ZGM-apt-MB solution obtained in Example 1, and the mixture was incubated at 37℃ under oscillation for 55 min at pH 7.5, and then the phosphorescence spectrum and fluorescence spectrum of each group of solutions were tested by a fluorescence spectrometer (F7000), and each group of solutions was tested three times, so as to obtain the standard curve between the ratio of the recovered phosphorescence intensity at 542 nm and the quenched fluorescence intensity at 700 nm of the detection probe and the concentration of carbendazim.
[0085] Specific test process of the long afterglow ratio type aptamer sensor probe (ZGM-apt-MB) for detecting carbendazim:
[0086] 50 μL of CBZ standard solution (0 ng / mL, 50 ng / mL, 100 ng / mL, 150 ng / mL, 200 ng / mL, 250 ng / mL, 300 ng / mL, 400 ng / mL, 500 ng / mL) was mixed with 250 μL of ZGM-apt-MB (2 mg mL -1 ) obtained in Example 1, and Tris-HCl buffer (pH=7.5) was added to make up to 500 μL. The mixture was incubated at 37℃ under gentle oscillation for 55 min. Then, the obtained solution was uniformly dispersed, and the luminescence intensity of the solution at 542 nm and 700 nm was measured respectively in phosphorescence and fluorescence modes on an F-7000 fluorescence spectrometer, so as to construct the linear relationship with the concentration of CBZ standard solution as the abscissa and the luminescence intensity ratio (I 542 / I 700 ) as the ordinate.

[0088] Specificity study of Example 3
[0089] The ZGM-apt-MB solution obtained in Example 1 was mixed with CBZ, methyl parathion (MPP), azoxystrobin (AZ), pyrimethanil (PMT), hexaconazole (HEX), temephos (TEM), bromophos (BRO), propamocarb (PRO), and tebuconazole (Teb), respectively. After mixing, the final concentration of ZGM-apt-MB was 1 mg / mL, and the final concentration of CBZ, methyl parathion (MPP), azoxystrobin (AZ), pyrimethanil (PMT), hexaconazole (HEX), temephos (TEM), bromophos (BRO), propamocarb (PRO), and tebuconazole (Teb) was 100 ng / mL. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 55 min, and then the luminescence spectrum and luminescence intensity of each group of solutions were tested by a fluorescence spectrometer (F7000).

[0091] Accuracy study of Example 4
[0092] After the actual food sample was pretreated, the sample extract was obtained. The same concentration of CBZ standard was prepared in different sample extracts, mixed with the ZGM-apt-MB obtained in Example 1, and incubated at 37°C for 55 min. Then the luminescence spectrum and luminescence intensity of each group of solutions were tested by a fluorescence spectrometer (F7000).
[0093] Table 1 shows the accuracy study, and the recovery rate of CBZ in five actual food samples is in the range of 93.3%-107.1%. This result indicates that this method has high accuracy and can be applied to sensitive detection of CBZ in actual samples.

[0098] Figure 6 For the influence of methylene blue concentration on the luminescence of ZGM-apt-MB, it can be seen that 20 μg / mL MB after reaction can have the best phosphorescence quenching and the strongest fluorescence, and the luminescence intensity ratio is the smallest, so the condition of 20 μg / mL is selected for reaction.
[0099] Adjusting the pH to 7.5 and 8.0 in step (4) in Example 1, and keeping other conditions the same as in Example 1, the corresponding ZGM-apt-MB solution was obtained.
[0100] Figure 7 For the influence of pH on the luminescence of ZGM-apt-MB, it can be seen that the reaction condition of pH 7.5 can obtain the best phosphorescence quenching and the strongest fluorescence, and the luminescence intensity ratio is the smallest, so the condition of pH 7.5 and 20 μg / mL MB is selected for reaction.
[0101] Example 6: Selection of pH and reaction time
[0102] Adjusting the pH of Tris-HCl used for detection in Example 2 to 7.2 and 8.0, and keeping other conditions the same as in Example 2, the detection results of ZGM-apt-MB on CBZ were as follows:
[0103] Figure 8 For the influence of pH on the I 542 / I 700 of the aptamer sensor; from Figure 8 it can be seen that: changing the detection pH to 7.2 and 8.0, the detection results I 542 / I 700 obtained are less than I 542 / I 700 obtained when the pH is 7.5. It can be seen that when the pH of Tris-HCl used for detection is 7.5, the detection is more sensitive.
[0104] Adjusting the incubation time in Example 2 to 15 min, 35 min, and 75 min, and keeping other conditions the same as in Example 2, the detection results of ZGM-apt-MB on CBZ were as follows:
[0105] Figure 8 For the influence of reaction time on the I 542 / I 700 of the aptamer sensor; from Figure 8It can be seen that: when the reaction time is changed to 15, 35, 75 min, the detection results I 542 / I 700 are all less than I 542 / I 700 obtained when the reaction time is 55 min. It can be seen that the detection is more sensitive when incubated for 55 minutes.
