[0002] Food safety is related to human health and social stability. With the change of the times and the development of global economic trade, food safety is increasingly concerned, and has become one of the most prominent public health problems in the world. Chemical hazards are the main food safety hazard factors leading to food poisoning and foodborne diseases, mainly including pesticides, veterinary drugs, heavy metals, allergens, food additives, etc. Foods may be contaminated in the production, harvesting, processing and transportation and storage of raw materials, among which common food hazards include glyphosate, acetamiprid, malathion, paraquat and other pesticides, and chloramphenicol, malachite green and other veterinary drugs.
[0003] Long-term accumulation of food hazards in the human body may cause a series of health hazards, including organ damage, impaired intelligence, kidney failure, and even endanger life. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a rapid, specific and sensitive detection method for food hazards for food safety and human health.
[0004] At present, conventional food hazard detection methods, such as gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, etc., have the disadvantages of high pretreatment requirement, expensive instrument price, complicated operation steps and long sample detection time, etc., and cannot meet the requirements of on-site rapid detection.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the application provides the following solutions.
[0007] A food hazard dual-mode detection method based on a multi-channel microfluidic paper base, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0008] Step 1: Preparation of oil-soluble upconversion nanomaterials:
[0009] Yttrium chloride hexahydrate, ytterbium chloride hexahydrate and thulium chloride hexahydrate are added to a certain volume of methanol A and ultrasonically dissolved, then oleic acid and 1-octadecene are added and mixed thoroughly, and then the first heating and stirring is carried out under a closed condition. After stirring, it is cooled to room temperature. The closed condition is removed, and then methanol B containing sodium hydroxide and ammonium fluoride is added dropwise. The second heating and stirring is carried out under a closed condition. After stirring, it is cooled to room temperature. The precipitate is obtained by centrifugal separation. The first washing is carried out using a mixture of ultrapure water and ethanol. Then, the second washing is carried out using a cyclohexane solution. After drying, the oleic acid-coated upconversion nanomaterial is obtained and is ready for use.

After treatment, ethanol is added and ultrasonically dispersed uniformly. Then, ultrapure water and ammonia water are added and stirred uniformly under a certain temperature condition. After uniform stirring, tetraethyl orthosilicate is added for the first reaction, and 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane is added for the second reaction. After reaction, centrifugal separation is carried out. The obtained product is washed with ultrapure water. After washing, it is dispersed in ultrapure water to obtain a water-soluble upconversion nanomaterial solution.

After activation reaction, centrifugal separation is carried out to obtain the upconversion nanomaterial. Then, it is dispersed in a phosphate buffer A. Then, the target aptamer complementary chain solution A is added, and incubation is carried out on a shaking bed. After incubation, centrifugal separation is carried out. The obtained precipitate is washed with a phosphate buffer and then centrifugally collected. Then, the precipitate is redissolved in a phosphate buffer to obtain a dispersion liquid, which is recorded as upconversion fluorescent probe solution A.

After activation, the target A aptamer solution was added and incubated on a shaker. After incubation, it was washed with phosphate buffer and centrifuged. The precipitate was re-dissolved in phosphate buffer B to obtain the dispersion, marked as Fe3O4@Cu solution A.
