Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrochemical detection technology, specifically relating to an amphoteric polymer, an electrochemical sensor, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to traditional detection methods, electrochemical sensors offer advantages such as fast analysis speed, high sensitivity, ease of operation, and the ability to be miniaturized and portable. Therefore, they are commonly used in analytical detection in fields such as medicine and food safety. However, when applied to actual sample detection, interfering substances in the sample, such as proteins and carbohydrates, can easily interact with the sensor surface, causing non-specific adsorption and contaminating the sensor, severely affecting its sensitivity and accuracy. Researchers typically perform sample pretreatment, but this process is time-consuming, complex, and inefficient. Therefore, by modifying the electrode surface with antifouling materials, electrochemical sensors with inherent antifouling properties can be constructed. This allows for sensitive and accurate detection of samples requiring only simple pretreatment, significantly improving detection efficiency.

[0003] Commonly used antifouling materials for modifying sensor surfaces include polyethylene glycol (PEG) and its derivatives, zwitterionic materials, and peptides. All of these antifouling materials possess strong hydrophilicity and electroneutrality. The hydrophilic surfaces formed by their modification can bind with water molecules through electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds to form a dense hydration layer, thereby reducing non-specific adsorption. PEG and peptides are frequently used in the fabrication of antifouling electrochemical sensors; however, PEG is easily oxidized and broken down, and peptides are easily enzymatically hydrolyzed in biological media and are relatively expensive. Zwitterionic materials offer stable antifouling properties in electrochemical sensors, but due to their complex polymerization process, they are difficult to anchor onto the sensor surface after synthesis. Currently, there are relatively few reported cases of zwitterionic material-modified sensors. Summary of the Invention

[0049] The preparation process was as follows: In a three-necked round-bottom flask, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (80 mg) was dissolved in 30 mL of deionized water under vigorous stirring. Then, hydrogen peroxide (30% solution, 4.78 g) was slowly added to the flask, and the mixture was heated to 60 °C and purged with oxygen. DMAP (15 g) was dissolved in 10 mL of deionized water and slowly added to the flask. The temperature was raised to 65 °C, and the reaction time was 5 h. After the solution cooled naturally to room temperature, it was extracted multiple times with DCM, and the aqueous phase was collected. The collected aqueous phase was dissolved in anhydrous ethanol, and most of the water was removed by rotary evaporation. The resulting product was lyophilized for 24 h to obtain a yellowish-white waxy substance.

The TMAOMA from step (1) was prepared to a concentration of 200 mg / mL. -1 TMAOMA aqueous solution; sulfonyl betaine (SBMA) was prepared to a concentration of 200 mg / mL. -1 SBMA aqueous solution was prepared; TMAOMA solution and SBMA solution were mixed at volume ratios of 10:0, 9:1, 8:2, and 7:3, and 0.1% (w / w) of photoinitiator (2-hydroxy-2-methylphenylacetone) was added to obtain a mixed solution. 5 μL of the mixed solution was dropped onto the electrode surface, and an in-situ reaction was initiated using 365 nm photoinitiation for 30 min, resulting in the polymerization synthesis of a series of copolymers of PTMAO-SBMA, named PTMAO-SBMA0, PTMAO-SBMA1, PTMAO-SBMA2, and PTMAO-SBMA3, respectively. The copolymers were then immersed in PBS (10 mmol / L). -1 In the solution, the excess monomer is fully swollen and removed to obtain an electrode with a stable modified antifouling sensing interface, denoted as PTMAO-SBMA / GCE.

[0052] The polymerization equations for TMAOMA and SBMA are as follows:

[0053] (3) Preparation of silver-copper nanoparticles and their loading on electrodes: Preparation of Ag-Cu NDs: 0.045 g hexadecylamine, 3.43 mL water, and 1.2 mL silver nitrate (100 mmol / L) were added at room temperature. -1 0.37 mL of glucose (1 M) and 0.37 mL of 0.37 mL of glucose (1 M) were added sequentially to a 40 mL pressure-resistant bottle. After magnetic stirring for 5 hours, the mixture was heated in a 100 °C oil bath for 1 hour. The pressure-resistant bottle was then removed and allowed to cool naturally. The mixture was washed with ultrapure water and centrifuged 2-3 times (13300 rpm, 10 min), and then directly redispersed in 9 mL of ultrapure water for inoculation and growth of Ag-Cu NDs.

[0054] Add 0.3 g trimethylamine and 0.3 mL anhydrous copper acetate (100 mmol / L) -18.9 mL of ultrapure water and 200 μL of an aqueous solution of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were sequentially added to a 40 mL pressure-resistant bottle. The resulting mixture was stirred for 5 hours, followed by the addition of 0.6 mL of ascorbic acid (1 mol L⁻¹) while stirring. -1 Stir for 10 minutes. Place the pressure-resistant bottle in an oil bath at 150 °C and heat for 12.5 min. Wash with ultrapure water and centrifuge 3-5 times (13300 rpm, 10 min), and concentrate to 10 mL for later use (the concentration of Ag-Cu NDs is defined as 1×).

[0055] Figure 2 Characterization of Ag-Cu NDs, where Figure 2 In this context, 'a' stands for transmission electron microscope (TEM). Figure 2 In this context, b represents the energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum. Figure 2 In the diagram, c represents the ultraviolet absorption spectrum.

[0056] Figure 2 The synthesized Ag-Cu NDs were characterized by TEM, EDX, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and a complete characterization, as shown by TEM images of Ag-Cu NDs. Figure 2 In (a), a gourd-like nanostructure was observed, consisting of two hemispherical regions. Each domain ranged in size from 25 to 35 nm. (EDX elemental map) Figure 2 (b) Confirmed the existence of separated Ag and Cu domains in the nanocrystals, with the Ag domains being yellow and the Cu domains being red. Furthermore, the unique structural features of Ag-Cu NDs are also reflected in their optical properties, as shown in the UV-Vis spectrum (…). Figure 2 c) Two peaks appear at ~409 nm and ~585.5 nm, a blue shift of ~6.5 nm compared to the peak of Ag NPs (~415.5 nm). Since the size and shape of Ag NPs remain unchanged during the seed growth of Ag-CuNDs, the blue shift of the Ag NPs peaks may indicate charge transfer between the Cu and Ag domains. In summary, the characterization results confirm the successful synthesis of Ag-CuNDs nanocrystals in this embodiment.

[0057] Ag-Cu NDs solutions with concentrations of 1×, 2×, 3×, 4×, and 5× were drop-coated onto the surface of the prepared antifouling sensing interface PTMAO-SBMA / GCE. After being left at room temperature for 30 min, the poorly bonded Ag-Cu NDs were rinsed with ultrapure water to obtain an electrode with a stable modified antifouling sensing interface and silver-copper nanoparticles, denoted as Ag-Cu NDs / PTMAO-SBMA / GCE.

[0058] (4) At 4 °C, Ag-Cu NDs / PTMAO-SBMA / GCE were placed in solutions of concentrations of 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, and 1.1 μmol L, respectively. -1 Incubate the chloramphenicol aptamer in 200 μL of chloramphenicol aptamer solution for 10 h. The chloramphenicol aptamer has the sequence 5'-SH-(CH2)6-ACT TCA GTG AGT TGT CCC ACG GTC GGC GAG TCG GTG GTAG-3' to obtain a working electrode modified with the aptamer, denoted as Apt-Ag-Cu NDs / PTMAO-SBMA / GCE.

[0059] Figure 3 Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of electrodes with different modifications.

[0060] Figure 3 As shown in Figure a, the polished GCE surface is smooth and flat. When an in-situ zwitterionic copolymer (PTMAO-SBMA) is formed on its surface... Figure 3 b). It can be seen that the GCE surface becomes rough, and the zwitterionic copolymer is uniformly distributed on its surface in a dotted pattern. The strong adhesion between polyacrylic acid and GCE is the result of a large number of synergistic interactions, including cation-π interactions, electrostatic attraction, and mechanical interlocking structures. When Ag-Cu NDs are further modified on the PTMAO-SBMA / GCE surface... Figure 3 c) You can see that even smaller spherical particles are evenly distributed.

[0061] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example provides an electrochemical sensor, the specific preparation process of which is as follows: The preparation method of Ag-Cu NDs solution is the same as in Example 1; A 4× Ag-Cu NDs solution was drop-coated onto the surface of the prepared antifouling sensing interface PTMAO-SBMA / GCE. After being left at room temperature for 30 min, the poorly bonded Ag-Cu NDs were rinsed with ultrapure water to obtain a stable electrode modified with silver-copper nanoparticles, denoted as Ag-Cu NDs / GCE.

[0062] At 4 °C, Ag-Cu NDs / PTMAO-SBMA / GCE were placed in a solution with a concentration of 0.5 μmol / L. -1Incubate the chloramphenicol aptamer in 200 μL of chloramphenicol aptamer solution for 10 h. The chloramphenicol aptamer has the sequence 5'-SH-(CH2)6-ACT TCAGTG AGT TGT CCC ACG GTC GGC GAG TCG GTG GTAG-3' to obtain a working electrode modified with the aptamer, denoted as Apt-Ag-Cu NDsGCE.

Based on the fact that the actual samples for subsequent testing were honey and simply pretreated pig liver sample solution, the main components that easily produce non-specific adsorption are glucose (Glu), fructose (Fru), and glycogen (Gn). Here, concentrations of 10, 20, and 50 mg / mL were used. -1 Glucose and fructose, and 0.1, 1, 10 mg mL -1 Glycogen solution was a contaminant; notably, the glycogen concentration in the pig liver sample was far below 0.1 mg / mL after simple pretreatment. -1 The bare GCE, zwitterionic copolymer antifouling sensing interface, and subsequently modified Ag-Cu NDs antifouling sensing interface were immersed in glucose, fructose, and glycogen solutions of the above concentrations and incubated for 30 min. The working electrode to be detected was immersed in the electrochemical probe solution, and DPV scanning was performed in the potential range of -0.2 V to 0.6 V. The DPV signal responses of different modified electrodes GCE, PTMAO-SBMA / GCE, and Ag-Cu NDs / PTMAO-SBMA / GCE in different pollutants are as follows: Figure 7-9 As shown. The signal suppression rate is obtained by recording the current response values ​​before and after incubation. Figure 6 It can be concluded that even at 50 mg / mL -1 glucose, fructose, 10 mg / mL -1 In glycogen solutions, the signal inhibition rates of PTMAO-SBMA / GCE were as low as 1.61%, 1.91%, and 7.08%, significantly lower than those of GCE (42.08%, 52.81%, and 65.58%). Furthermore, it is evident that loading Ag-Cu NDs onto the antifouling surface (Ag-Cu NDs / PTMAO-SBMA / GCE) did not negatively impact its antifouling effect.

[0070] Dilute GCE, Ag-Cu NDs / GCE, PTMAO-SBMA / GCE, Ag-Cu NDs / PTMAO-SBMA / GCE at 10 mgmL -1 After incubation for 30 min in glucose, fructose, and glycogen solutions, the results showed that the signal inhibition rate of Ag-Cu NDs / GCE was not significantly different from that of GCE, indicating that it is easily affected by interfering substances, leading to inaccurate test results. Therefore, Ag-Cu NDs / GCE cannot be used for detection in samples with simple pretreatment. The final experimental results show that ( Figure 10 Modification with Ag-Cu NDs does not enhance the antifouling properties of GCE, but it does not affect the antifouling effect of the antifouling interface.

[0071] 5. Take Apt-Ag-Cu NDs / PTMAO-SBMA / GCE and soak them in 200 μL of solutions with concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 1, 10, 50, and 100 ng / mL. -1 In a chloramphenicol standard solution, after incubation for 60 min, the loosely bound chloramphenicol was rinsed with ultrapure water to form the working electrode to be detected. Then, the working electrode was immersed in an electrochemical probe solution, and DPV scanning was performed within a potential range of -0.2 V to 0.6 V. The corresponding DPV images are shown below. Figure 11 As shown. The signal inhibition rate was calculated by recording the current signals before and after detection; the standard curve was obtained based on the signal inhibition rate and the logarithm of chloramphenicol concentration: y = 3.29x + 13.14, (R 2 = 0.997, S / N=3), LOD is 0.33 pg mL -1 ( Figure 12 ).

[0072] 6. Analyze the changes in DPV signal during the stepwise construction of the antifouling electrochemical sensor using different electrodes from Example 1 and the electrode from Comparative Example 1. Figure 13 As shown, the DPV current signal decreased (125.3 μA-120.3 μA) after GCE modification of the zwitterionic copolymer (PTMAO-SBMA). This is due to the poor conductivity of the zwitterionic copolymer and the thin modification thickness. Coating with Ag-Cu NDs, which connect the chloramphenicol aptamer via Ag-S bonds, resulted in a significant decrease in the DPV current signal to 88.1 μA after aptamer modification. This was attributed to the impaired charge transfer at the electrode surface. Notably, the DPV current response increased from 120.3 μA to 127.1 μA after Ag-Cu NDs coating. This demonstrates that Ag-Cu NDs can not only be used for aptamer connection but also enhance the electrochemical signal. The Apt / Ag-Cu NDs / PTMAO-SBMA / GCE mixture was prepared at 100.0 ng / mL... -1 After incubation in CAP solution for 60 min, the DPV current signal decreased again. This is due to the weak conductivity of CAP molecules and the conformational change that occurs when chloramphenicol aptamers bind to CAP molecules, resulting in a more compact accumulation on the electrode surface, which hinders electron transfer on the electrode surface.

[0073] 7. With 100 ng mL -1 Chloramphenicol and 1 μg mL -1 Amoxicillin, ofloxacin, kanamycin, doxytetracycline, and mixtures thereof were used as detection targets, and the prepared antifouling electrochemical aptamer sensor was used for detection. The results are as follows: Figure 14As shown in Figure a, the electrochemical signal changes for amoxicillin, ofloxacin, kanamycin, and doxytetracycline were very low, at 2.7%, 1.3%, 3.5%, and 4.1%, respectively; while the signal inhibition rates for detecting chloramphenicol alone and mixtures thereof were 18.2% and 18.9%, respectively, indicating that the sensor has excellent selectivity. Furthermore, the constructed antifouling electrochemical sensor was stored in PBS (10.0 mmol / L). -1 In a solution, used to detect 100.0 ng / mL -1 Five days later, the TC still maintained 97.1% of the initial signal, indicating that the antifouling electrochemical sensor has good stability. Figure 14 b). Repeatability was evaluated using seven different working electrodes. Following step 2.4, each electrode was used to prepare an antifouling electrochemical sensor three times for chloramphenicol detection. The results showed that the proposed antifouling electrochemical aptamer sensor exhibited excellent repeatability. Figure 14 c).

[0074] 8. Honey, pig liver, and physiological saline were selected as test samples, and the spiked recovery experiment was used to verify the practical application performance of the constructed sensor in the test samples.

[0075] Using pH 7.4 0.01 mol L -1 The honey was diluted 1% with PBS buffer. 3 ± 0.05 g of homogenized pig liver sample was weighed into a 50 ml centrifuge tube. 3 ml of deionized water was added and the mixture was shaken to mix. Then, 6 ml of ethyl acetate was added and shaken for 2 minutes. The mixture was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature. 2 ml of the supernatant was collected and dried under nitrogen at 50-60°C. 1 mL of 0.01 mol / L PBS was added. -1 The solution was reconstituted with PBS buffer and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature. The aqueous phase was then diluted 1% with PBS buffer. A 0.9% physiological saline solution was prepared using sodium chloride. Different concentrations of sodium chloride standard solution were added to the three diluted food samples to ensure that the spiked solution contained 0.5 ng / mL of sodium chloride. -1 9 ng mL -1 and 90.0 ng mL -1 Chloramphenicol was then detected using Apt-Ag-Cu NDs / PTMA-SBMA / GCE to obtain the spiked recovery rate in the samples. The spiked samples were then analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to validate the results obtained from the constructed sensor and ensure the accuracy of the analysis. Specific results are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1

[0076] As can be seen from Table 1 above, the antifouling electrochemical sensor prepared by this invention can sensitively detect chloramphenicol in the sample to be tested, and this method has broad application prospects in food matrices.
