Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrochemical sensor technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a high-precision electrochemical sensing device. Background Technology
[0002] Heavy metal pollution of water resources is a serious public health problem. Due to the toxicity of heavy metals themselves and their accumulation effect in living tissues, heavy metal elements accumulate in the human body through the food chain, and long-term intake can harm human health. Fish, as part of the food chain, are a common food on human tables and are consumed in huge quantities. Researchers frequently report Pb levels... 2+ It accumulates in aquatic products, especially fish. Pb 2+ Excessive intake can lead to damage to various organs and tissues in the human body, including the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems; therefore, it is necessary to establish an effective, sensitive, and cost-effective method for detecting Pb. 2+ It is of great significance to ensure the safety of agricultural products and people's health.
[0003] Many spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses are now applied to Pb. 2+ Determination. Spectroscopic analysis, including atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS), atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), has been widely accepted as a detection method. While they can provide highly reliable readings, they fall short of the urgent need for simplified operation and reduced instrument costs. Electrochemical methods, due to their budget-friendly equipment and rapid response, are playing a more significant role in in-situ determinations. In particular, the synergy between microfabricated sensors, aptamer-based functional materials, and ratiometric strategies can amplify the methodological advantages to address practical analytical challenges such as complex backgrounds.
[0004] Aptamers, due to their specific secondary structures, exhibit high selectivity and affinity for targets derived from heavy metal ions, small molecules, or proteins. Beyond single-signal electrochemical analysis, aptamers are highly compatible with ratiometric strategy-based sensors designed to eliminate unwanted external interference. Ratiometric strategies are based on dual-signal sensing, typically employing either an on / off or on-off mode. In the on / off mode, the reference signal remains almost constant, independent of analyte variations. In contrast, in the on-off mode, two signals are activated in opposite directions in response to alternating target changes, thus ensuring considerable stability and reproducibility to environmental or operational disturbances. Studies have shown that electrochemical aptamer sensors are effective for Pb... 2+The detection of most Pb is prone to high errors, while ratiometric electrochemical aptamer sensors with dual electrical signal outputs have inherent calibration capabilities, which can greatly improve the accuracy and sensitivity of detection. However, the development of ratiometric electrochemical aptamer sensors still faces significant challenges, requiring further improvement in detection sensitivity to meet the requirements for ultra-low levels of Pb. 2+ The growing need for monitoring. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a method for fabricating a high-precision electrochemical sensing device, which uses semi-complementary aptamer pairs and AgNWS@ZIF-8 / MB signal probes for lead ratio detection, thereby improving detection sensitivity and meeting the requirements for ultra-low Pb levels. 2+ The demand.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention applies the synergistic effect of semi-complementary aptamer pairs and a signal on / off ratio strategy on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the detection of lead ions (Pb). 2+ This invention relates to the detection of lead ions in fish meat. Specifically, a ferrocene signal was added to the 5'-end of the aptamer, and a methylene blue signal was self-assembled on the aptamer complementary strand via AgNWS@ZIF-8, employing an Fc-MB-based ratiometric strategy.
[0007] The AgNWs@ZIF-8 is a beaded AgNWs@ZIF-8 core-shell nanochain prepared by in-situ growth of ZIF-8 on silver nanowires (Ag NWs). AgNWs@ZIF-8 has strong adsorption properties similar to ZIF-8, while compensating for the weak electrical conductivity of ZIF-8, thus expanding the intensity range of methylene blue (MB) signals to a certain extent.
[0008] The ratiometric method is based on the parallel use of two electrochemical probes. In addition to the classic signal probe Fc found in other electronic sensors, the present invention also includes another redox probe MB as a control, i.e., the internal control signal (Fc) and the conformational change signal (MB) constitute the ratiometric sensing system.
[0009] The specific modification process of this invention involves electrodepositing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and then using an Au-S binding method to modify Pb. 2+ The aptamer (Apt) attaches to the binding site on the electrode, forming Apt / AuNPs / GCE. Then, 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) is used to block excess binding sites and orthogonalize the aptamer, forming MCH / Apt / AuNPs / GCE. Simultaneously, it reacts with Pb... 2+The single-stranded DNA (S1) semi-complementary to the aptamer is combined with AgNWS@ZIF-8 / MB through Ag-S at the -SH-3' end to form S1 / AgNWS@ZIF-8 / MB. The product can be self-assembled on MCH / Apt / AuNPs / GCE by hybridization, but can be easily removed by Pb 2+ As a competitor is expelled. When S1 / AgNWS@ZIF-8 / MB is expelled, the MB signal is weakened, and the ferrocene signal is enhanced because the conformation change of the aptamer chain shortens the distance between the ferrocene molecule and the electrode. Fc And I MB Pb 2+ shows opposite response changes, thereby constituting I Fc / I MB ratio system.

[0050] Embodiment 1
[0051] The Figure 1 The preparation method of the high-precision electrochemical sensing device is shown in the flowchart, and the implementation steps are as follows:
[0052] Step one, synthesis of beaded Ag NWs@ZIF-8 core-shell nanochain;
[0053] AgNWs were synthesized by polyol method using ethylene glycol to reduce AgNO3; 20 mL of ethylene glycol was heated in an oil bath at 150℃ for 1 hour, then 5 mL of AgNO3-ethylene glycol solution (concentration of 0.048 mol / mL) and 5 mL of PVP-ethylene glycol solution (concentration of 0.048 mol / mL) were added dropwise at the same time, 10-15 minutes later, the solution became turbid and turned gray, indicating the presence of silver nanowires, then the reaction was continued at 150℃ for 5 hours, after the reaction was completed, a gray precipitate was obtained, which was washed with ethanol and acetone for 3-5 times, and dried at 60℃ for 10-12 hours, to obtain silver nanowires;
[0054] 0.5 mL of silver nanowire solution (Ag NWs, 5 mg / mL) was added to a round-bottom flask, then 25.0 mL of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, 25 mM) and 25.0 mL of 2-methylimidazole (2-MI, 25 mM) were continuously added under magnetic stirring. The mixture was reacted at 30℃ for 2h without stirring; the product was collected by centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 10 min, washed with methanol for 3 times, and the obtained product was vacuum dried at 60℃ to obtain beaded Ag NWs@ZIF-8 core-shell nanochain.
[0055] For comparison, pure ZIF-8 was prepared by the same method, the difference being that Ag NWs were not added.
[0056] Step two, electrodeposition of gold nanoparticles;
[0057] NH4Cl was dissolved in water to prepare an ammonium chloride solution, and the concentration of the ammonium chloride solution was 2.5M; then 3 mL of chloroauric acid solution with a concentration of 10% was mixed with the ammonium chloride solution to obtain a precursor solution, wherein the concentration of the chloroauric acid was 10mM;
[0058] The glassy carbon electrode was pretreated: the glassy carbon electrode was polished with 0.3 μm and 0.05 μm polishing powder (Al2O3) in turn, and then the electrode surface was washed with pure water; the glassy carbon electrode was moved into an ultrasonic water bath for cleaning, and was cleaned in the ultrasonic water bath for 2-3 min each time for three times; then the glassy carbon electrode was cleaned with ethanol, HNO3 and distilled water in turn by ultrasonic cleaning; after cleaning, the electrode performance was tested, wherein the scanning speed was 50 mV / s, the scanning range was 0.6-0.1 V, and when the peak point difference in the obtained cyclic voltammogram was 80 mV, the pretreatment of the glassy carbon electrode was completed;
[0059] Finally, the pretreated glassy carbon electrode was used as a working electrode, and linear voltammetry scanning was performed in the precursor solution, the scanning range was 0-0.8 V, and the scanning time was 200 s; at this time, the glassy carbon electrode was recorded as AuNPs / GCE.
[0060] Step three, incubation and MCH modification of aptamer;
[0061] Aptamer (initial concentration 5 μM) was drop-coated on the AuNPs / GCE, the drop-coating amount was 6 μL, and the room temperature incubation was 2 h, and then natural drying was performed; the obtained electrode was recorded as Apt / AuNPs / GCE. The electrode was washed with PBS to remove non-specifically adsorbed DNA, and then the obtained electrode was immersed in 1 mM 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) for 2 h to obtain a modified electrode, which was recorded as MCH / Apt / AuNPs / GCE.
[0062] Step four, modification of probe;
[0063] Ag NWs@ZIF-8 was quantitatively dispersed into 1 mL methylene blue solution (MB, 1 mg / mL) to obtain AgNWs@ZIF-8 / MB suspensions with different concentrations (initial concentration 1 mg / mL), which were shaken at room temperature overnight. In this process, part of the MB molecules were loaded into the pores of Ag NWs@ZIF-8. Then, 50 μL of single-stranded S1 (initial concentration 5 μM) was added, and was shaken at room temperature for 60 min to assemble with AgNWs@ZIF-8 through Ag-S bond. The prepared Ag NWs@ZIF-8 / MB / S1 was centrifuged and washed with Tris-HCl buffer for several times, and was suspended in 1.0 mL of Tris-HCl buffer with pH 7.4 to obtain Ag NWs@ZIF-8 / MB / S1 suspension, which was stored at 4 °C for standby;
[0064] 6 μL of Ag NWs@ZIF-8 / MB / S1 suspension was drop-coated on the modified electrode during modification, and the room temperature or 37 °C incubation was 1 h to obtain an electrochemical sensing device, which was recorded as S1 / AgNWS@ZIF-8 / MB / MCH / Apt / AuNPs / GCE.
[0065] Further optimization of the modified electrode performance yielded the optimal conditions: Pb 2+ The optimal concentration level for aptamers and S1 is 6 μM Pb. 2+ The aptamer and 8 μM S1; after the aptamer reacted with the target ion for 120 minutes, Pb 2+ All reactions with its aptamer reached saturation, and a buffer solution pH of 7.0 provided a higher ratio signal than other settings; a concentration level of 3 mg / mL for Ag NWs@ZIF-8 was the optimal choice.
[0066] Under these optimal conditions, the lead ion concentration was controlled within the range of 0.02 μM to 0.9 μM, and the Pb concentration was gradually increased for the sensor. 2+ The incubation concentration was determined, and then differential pulse voltammetry was performed to obtain the signal variation pattern. Based on... Figure 2 It can be seen that an oxidation peak of MB appears at -0.22V, and a strong oxidation peak of Fc appears near 0.2V, and the oxidation peak increases with Pb. 2+ With increasing levels, MB showed a clear downward trend. During this process, Pb... 2+ The mutual adsorption between it and its aptamer leads to the loss of S1@AgNWs@ZIF-8@MB, resulting in a decrease in the reference signal MB, denoted as I in the electrochemical signal. MB The morphological change of the aptamer brings the Fc signal molecule closer to the electrode, thereby enhancing the Fc signal. This electrochemical signal is denoted as I. Fc .like Figure 3 Based on this dual-signal response mode, I Fc / I MB and Pb 2+ The logarithmic linear relationship between concentrations was well established as follows:
[0067] Lg(I Fc / I MB )=0.889C(Pb 2+ -0.424, R 2 =0.997; where C(Pb) 2+ () represents the lead ion concentration.
[0068] Meanwhile, the detection limit was confirmed to be 0.01 μM (S / N = 3, where S refers to sensitivity and N is noise).
[0069] When determining heavy metals in food, the sample needs to be digested to convert the metal element to be tested into metal ions.
[0070] The present embodiment selects fish meat as the sample, and 3 kinds of fish meat purchased in the local aquatic product market are taken as samples, specifically, grass carp, silver carp and sea bass, denoted as sample A, sample B and sample C. The target elements are extracted by microwave digestion (Mars 6 digester), and the sample processing steps are as follows:
[0071] ① The fish meat is washed with ultrapure water and uniformly cut, 2 g of sample is accurately weighed for each source and transferred into a polytetrafluoroethylene tube, and then 30 mL of acid mixture is supplemented. The acid mixture as a digestion reagent is composed of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, and the volume ratio is fixed at 1:1.
[0072] ② 10 mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide is added to the naturally cooled digestion product, and is completely dried at 200℃.
[0073] ③ The solid is re-distributed into 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer, and the ratio of solid product to buffer is fixed at 5 mg / mL, so as to obtain a sample liquid, and is refrigerated at 4℃ until use. The Tris-HCl buffer is composed of 10 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris), 100 Mm sodium chloride (NaCl) and 1 Mm disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA).
[0074] Three samples (Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3) are randomly selected from each fish meat source. Table 1 shows the average readings of DPVs and ICP-MS from repeated measurements, which are repeated 5 times. The relative error of the method is 3.1-5.3% compared with ICP-MS. Subsequently, 0.4 μm Pb 2+ After adding to the actual sample, the recovery rate of the recommended method is 96.9-102.6%.
[0075] Table 1:
[0076]
[0077] The effect of the present application is verified by the following experiments:
[0078] In the step-by-step modification, the modified electrodes at different stages are detected by differential pulse voltammetry in PBS buffer. As shown in Figure 4 , the ferrocene signal is detected after APT incubation, and the methylene blue signal and the ferrocene signal are detected simultaneously after S1 self-assembly, indicating that the corresponding signal can be obtained for each main step. As shown in Figure 5 , when there is a target ion, both signals will change significantly, the signal intensity of MB will decrease and the signal intensity of Fc will increase, and when the lead ion concentration changes, the two signals will also change correspondingly.
[0079] To verify the analytical advantages of the Fc-MB-based ratiometric strategy, CVs of bare GCE, ZIF-8 / GCE and AgNWs@ZIF-8 / GCE were first tested, and then the electroactive areas of these electrodes were calculated according to the Randles-Sevcik equation. The formula used is
[0080] Ip = (2.69 x 10 5 ) N 3 / 2 AD 1 / 2 CV 1 / 2
[0081] where Ip represents the peak current, A represents the active area of the electrode, N is the number of transferred electrons in the system, D and C are the diffusion coefficient and concentration of K3[Fe(CN)6] 3- / 4- respectively, and V is the predetermined scan rate.
[0082] As shown in Figure 6 , for bare GCE, ZIF-8 / GCE and AgNWs@ZIF-8 / GCE, their electroactive areas are 0.05, 0.042 and 0.059 square centimeters respectively at a scan rate of 0.1 V / s -1 . The decrease in the electroactive area caused by ZIF-8 modification alone will affect the detection effect of the modified electrode, while the electroactive area of AgNWs@ZIF-8 / GCE is larger than that of ZIF-8 / GCE, indicating that the addition of Ag NWs not only provides the required Ag-S bond for the complementary single-stranded S1, but also enhances the electrical activity of the modified electrode.
[0083] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the redox signal of AgNWs@ZIF-8 / GCE shows an upward trend when the scan rate is gradually increased in the range of 0.01-0.1 V / s, and a good linear relationship between the redox peak and the square root of the scan rate is established, indicating that a good diffusion control process occurs on AgNWs@ZIF-8 / GCE.
[0084] Through the above technical solution, we obtain a signal switch ratiometric electrochemical sensor based on a half-complementary aptamer pair carrying a signal molecule, which is used for natural Pb 2+ analysis. In the ratiometric electrochemical sensing process, the Pb 2+ aptamer acts as a basic recognizer and generates a target signal Fc. Based on the complementary pairing principle of the aptamer pair, S1@AgNWS@ZIF-8@MB self-assembles on the sensor to provide a reference signal MB. The reference signal MB provides a reference signal MB due to the competitive Pb 2+The double-strand break caused by absorption is inhibited, and the target signal Fc is enhanced due to the conformational change of the aptamer. Compared with single signal reading, the existing sensor provides more reliable ratio meter reading, and shows considerable analytical progress in LOD, selectivity and stability. In the determination of Pb 2+ in fish meat samples, the results of the sensor are comparable to those of ICP-MS and recovery test, and have good application prospect.
