Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrochemical sensor technology, and in particular to a norfloxacin sensor and its preparation and detection methods. Background Technology

[0002] Norfloxacin, also known as norfloxacin, is a third-generation quinolone antibiotic. It exhibits high antibacterial activity against aerobic Gram-negative bacilli and shows good in vitro antibacterial activity against most Enterobacteriaceae, including Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., Salmonella spp., and Yersinia spp. Norfloxacin kills bacteria by inhibiting DNA synthesis and replication by acting on the A subunit of bacterial DNA gyrase. Therefore, it is used in livestock and poultry farming to prevent disease. However, excessively high levels of norfloxacin residues in livestock and poultry can lead to dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, and delayed bone formation in children, affecting their development. Therefore, national standards limit the amount of norfloxacin residues in livestock and poultry farming; for example, the maximum residue limit for pork is 0.02 mg / kg. Therefore, detecting the norfloxacin content in meat is of great significance.

[0003] Currently, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) are the most commonly used methods for detecting norfloxacin, but they are costly and cumbersome to operate. Electrochemical catalytic sensors for norfloxacin detection offer advantages such as simple operation, low manufacturing cost, high sensitivity, short response time, good selectivity, and stability. However, existing research lacks studies on novel electrode catalytic materials with high sensitivity, low detection limits, and wide linear ranges. Therefore, the application of electrochemical catalytic sensors in the detection of antibiotics in food has attracted widespread attention. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and reference numerals, so that those skilled in the art can implement them after reading this specification. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Example

[0038] The present invention provides a norfloxacin sensor, comprising a base electrode, a first solid film and a second solid film, wherein the first solid film is a multi-walled carbon nanotube and the second solid film is a CTS / Ag-NiWO4 composite material, and the first solid film and the second solid film are sequentially stacked on the outer surface of the base electrode. Example

[0039] This invention provides a method such as Figure 1 The method for preparing the norfloxacin sensor shown includes the following steps:

[0040] S1. Take 0.5 mg of silver-doped nickel tungstate (Ag-NiWO4) and 0.5 mg of chitosan (CTS), mix them, add 500 μL of ultrapure water and disperse them using an ultrasonic cleaner to obtain the CTS / Ag-NiWO4 composite material.

[0041] S2, to prepare a suspension of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).

[0042] S21. A small amount of multi-walled carbon nanotubes was dipped into a glass rod and acidified in nitric acid at a volume ratio of 1:1, while being ultrasonically dispersed into a suspension for 6 hours.

[0043] S22, the acidified suspension is centrifuged to remove the liquid, and the multi-walled carbon nanotubes obtained by centrifugation are washed with ultrapure water and then centrifuged to remove water. This process is repeated multiple times until the pH is neutral. The prepared multi-walled carbon nanotubes are then placed in an oven to dry.

[0044] S23, weigh 1 mg of dried multi-walled carbon nanotubes, add 1 mL of ultrapure water, and ultrasonically disperse to form a multi-walled carbon nanotube suspension of 1 mg / mL.

[0045] S3 uses a glassy carbon electrode as the base electrode, and the surface of the base electrode is polished and activated. The polishing and activation methods both employ commonly used methods in existing electrochemistry, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0046] S31. Add small amounts of 0.3μm diameter alumina powder to the polishing disc multiple times, add appropriate amount of ultrapure water and polish the glassy carbon electrode for 15 minutes until the electrode surface is polished to a mirror finish; then rinse the polished glassy carbon electrode with ultrapure water, place it in ultrapure water for ultrasonic cleaning for 5 minutes, then place it in anhydrous ethanol for ultrasonic cleaning for 5 minutes, and finally place it in ultrapure water for ultrasonic cleaning for 5 minutes.

[0047] S32. Place the cleaned glassy carbon electrode in 5 mL of 0.1 mol / mL sulfuric acid solution and activate the glassy carbon electrode by cyclic voltammetry in a potential range of -1.0 to 1.8 V for 50 cycles. After activation, rinse the glassy carbon electrode with ultrapure water and place it in ultrapure water for later use.

[0048] S4. Take 3 μL of the 1 mg / mL multi-walled carbon nanotube solution and drop it onto the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. Place it in a refrigerator at 4°C and refrigerate it upside down for 4 hours to allow it to solidify naturally and form a uniform first solid film.

[0049] S5, then drop-coat 3μL of the CTS / Ag-NiWO4 composite material onto the surface of the first solid film, place it in a refrigerator at 4℃ and refrigerate it upside down for 4 hours to allow it to cure naturally and form a uniform second solid film. The preparation is complete and the CTS / Ag-NiWO4 / MWCNT sensor is obtained.

[0050] All reagents used in the above steps were of analytical grade. In other embodiments, carbon paste electrodes, metal electrodes, etc., can also be used as the base electrodes. The applicant's research found that Ag-NiWO4 can effectively catalyze the reaction of norfloxacin, thereby causing electron transfer and generating a current signal, which is presented as a cyclic voltammetry image in an electrochemical workstation. Carbon nanotubes have a one-dimensional hollow tubular structure, with the tube wall composed of a single or multiple layers of graphene sheets. The tube diameter is on the nanometer scale, the tube length is on the micrometer scale, and the aspect ratio is huge, exhibiting metallic or semiconductor properties. As an electrode modification material, it has good conductivity when used in chemical reactions and has wide applications in the field of modified electrodes. Chitosan (CTS) is a cationic polyamine with a high charge density at pH < 6.5, thus it can adsorb the -COO of norfloxacin. - Anions, possessing the properties of polyelectrolytes, exhibit a double-helix structure containing amino and hydroxyl groups. They can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with norfloxacin, effectively allowing norfloxacin to adhere to the electrode surface and accelerate the catalytic reaction. Chitosan and Ni in Ag-NiWO4... 2+Chelation occurs, allowing chitosan to combine with Ag-NiWO4, thus achieving the effect of Ag-NiWO4 being stably fixed on the electrode surface and not easily falling off.

[0051] This invention utilizes multi-walled carbon nanotubes and CTS / Ag-NiWO4 composite materials to construct the sensor interface, thereby improving sensor sensitivity. Furthermore, leveraging the principle of Ag-NiWO4 catalyzing the reaction of norfloxacin, quantitative detection of norfloxacin concentration can be achieved. The prepared sensor not only possesses strong catalytic, conductive, and adsorption capabilities but also boasts advantages such as simple detection method, convenient operation, high sensitivity, and low detection limit. Its lowest detection limit for norfloxacin concentration reaches 2.399 ng / mL, while the lowest detection limit achievable by commonly used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is only 2.5 ng / mL, and that by reversed-phase HPLC is 50 ng / mL. The average recovery rate is 97.9%, and the lowest detection limit achievable by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is 0.0564-0.8653 μg / kg. Moreover, this invention achieves a detection limit of 3.998 × 10⁻⁶ μg / kg. -2 ~3.998×10 -6 The current values ​​obtained within the concentration range of μg / L showed a good linear relationship with the negative logarithm of norfloxacin concentration, such as... Figure 3 As shown, its linear regression equation is I = 0.1008(-lgC) + 8.8079, and the correlation coefficient R0 is... 2 =0.9767, where I is the current value and -lgC is the negative logarithm of the norfloxacin concentration.

Weigh a certain amount of disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, and potassium chloride, mix them, dissolve them in a beaker, and make up to volume with ultrapure water to prepare a 0.02 mol / L PBS buffer.
