Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental and food testing technology. Specifically, this invention relates to a method for on-site fluorescence visualization detection of antibiotic residues. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrofurazone (NFZ) and tetracycline (TC) are widely used veterinary antibiotics in aquaculture. Their residues are continuously introduced into the aquatic environment through aquaculture wastewater, medical discharges, and agricultural runoff, forming highly toxic compound pollutants. Tetracycline has a half-life of up to 180 days in water and induces the horizontal spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs); the nitrofurazone metabolite saminoglycan (SEM) can accumulate in sediment for up to 5 years, and the coexistence of the two produces a synergistic toxic effect. These pollutants not only disrupt the balance of aquatic microbial communities but also threaten human health through drinking water and the food chain. Tetracycline accumulation can cause liver damage and drug-resistant bacterial infections, while nitrofurazone is classified as a Group 2B carcinogen (causing gene mutations) by the World Health Organization (WHO). Against this backdrop, there is a need to develop highly sensitive and interference-resistant on-site water pollution monitoring technologies that can simultaneously detect NFZ / TC to support ecological safety early warning and public health governance.
[0003] Currently, three main analytical methods are used for the detection of NF-Z and TC residues: chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is accurate but susceptible to matrix interference; immunoassay relies on large instruments and has complex pretreatment, making it difficult to meet the needs of on-site screening; and emerging biosensor technologies, while offering high throughput, suffer from insufficient specificity and poor stability when co-detecting NF-Z and TC due to cross-reactivity. In summary, existing technologies struggle to simultaneously address the requirements of sensitivity, specificity, on-site detection, and simultaneous multi-component detection, necessitating the development of a novel, universal platform to overcome these bottlenecks. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the need for rapid and accurate detection of nitrofurazone (NFZ) and tetracycline (TC), this invention, through systematic research, develops a method for on-site fluorescence visualization detection of antibiotic residues.

[0046] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to examples.
[0047] Example 1: Synthesis of Eu@CDs Fluorescent Sensor
[0048] A method for fabricating a fluorescence sensor Eu@CDs, the method comprising:
[0049] (1) Preparation of Eu@CDs by one-pot hydrothermal method: Urea, citric acid monohydrate, and europium(III) nitrate hexahydrate were dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide and sonicated until transparent. The solution was transferred to a 50.0 mL polytetrafluoroethylene reactor and reacted at 180 °C for 8.0 h. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. 0.2 mg / mL sodium hydroxide solution was added, and the reaction was continued for 30.0 min. After the reaction was completed, the solution was centrifuged at 10000.0 rpm for 10.0 min, the precipitate was collected, washed three times with deionized water, and finally freeze-dried to obtain the product Eu@CDs.
[0050] Preferably, the mass ratio of urea:citric acid monohydrate:europium(III) nitrate hexahydrate is 1.5:1.05:0.45, the time for ultrasonication to achieve transparency is 30.0 min, and the centrifugation parameters are 10000.0 rpm and 10.0 min.
[0051] More preferably, this embodiment discloses a method for preparing a fluorescence sensor Eu@CDs, the method comprising:
[0052] (2) 1.05 g of citric acid monohydrate (molecular weight 210.14 g / mol, 250.0 mM), 1.5 g of urea (molecular weight 60.06 g / mol, 1250.0 mM), and 0.45 g of europium(III) nitrate hexahydrate (molecular weight 446.0 g / mol, 50.0 mM) were dissolved in 20.0 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide and sonicated for 30.0 min until transparent. The solution was transferred to a 50.0 mL polytetrafluoroethylene reactor and reacted at 180 ℃ for 8.0 h. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. 0.2 mg / mL sodium hydroxide solution was added, and the reaction was continued for 30.0 min. After the reaction was completed, the solution was centrifuged at 10000.0 rpm for 10.0 min, the precipitate was collected, and the precipitate was washed three times with deionized water. Finally, it was freeze-dried to obtain the product Eu@CDs. The characterization of the synthesized Eu@CDs is as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown.
[0053] Example 2: Optimal conditions for Eu@CDs detection of furazolidone and tetracycline
[0054] To optimize the analytical performance of Eu@CDs, detailed tests were conducted on the pH and temperature parameters in the furacilin (NFZ) and tetracycline (TC) detection systems.
[0055] (1) The properties of the system were investigated in the temperature range of 25-45 ℃. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in Figure A, when the temperature range is 25 ℃ to 35 ℃, the fluorescence intensity difference of the reaction system at 450 nm increases with increasing reaction temperature. When the temperature exceeds 35 ℃ and increases to 50 ℃, the fluorescence intensity difference decreases with increasing temperature. Therefore, 35 ℃ was chosen as the optimal temperature for detecting the NFZ system.
[0056] (2) The performance of the system in the pH range of 8.0-10.0 was investigated, and Tris-HCl was selected as the reaction buffer. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in Figure B, when the pH value is in the range of 8.0 to 9.0, the fluorescence intensity difference of the reaction system at 450 nm increases with the increase of the pH value of the buffer system. When the pH value exceeds 9.0, the fluorescence intensity difference decreases with the increase of pH value. Therefore, 9.0 was selected as the optimal pH value for detecting the NFZ system.
[0057] (3) The performance of the system in the temperature range of 25-45 ℃ was investigated. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in Figure A, when the temperature range is 25 ℃ to 35 ℃, the fluorescence intensity ratio F of the reaction system at 450 nm and 617 nm is... 617 nm / F 450 nm It increases with increasing reaction temperature. When the temperature exceeds 35 ℃, it increases to 50 ℃, F 617 nm / F 450 nm The ratio decreases as it increases, therefore 35 ℃ was chosen as the optimal temperature for detecting the TC system.
[0058] (4) The performance of the system in the pH range of 8.0-10.0 was investigated, and Tris-HCl was selected as the reaction buffer. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in Figure B, when the pH value is in the range of 8.0 to 8.5, the fluorescence intensity ratio F of the reaction system at 450 nm and 617 nm is... 617 nm / F 450 nm The value increases with increasing pH of the buffer system. When the pH exceeds 8.5, F... 617nm / F 450nm The ratio decreases as it increases, so 8.5 was chosen as the optimal pH value for the system.
[0059] Based on the detection of NFZ and TC, temperature and pH optimization were performed, and the optimal conditions for the system were selected as 35 ℃ and pH 8.5.
[0060] Example 3: Eu@CDs Method System and Feasibility Verification for Detection of Furazolidone and Tetracycline
[0061] The following four reaction systems were designed: (1) CDs, (2) Eu@CDs, (3) Eu@CDs + TC, and (4) Eu@CDs + NFZ. Tris-HCl was used as the buffer solution. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was transferred to a fluorescence dish, and the fluorescence intensity at 450 nm and 617 nm was measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results are shown below. Figure 6 The results show that NFZ can significantly quench the fluorescence of Eu@CDs at 450 nm, while TC can enhance the fluorescence of Eu@CDs at 617 nm and cause a significant change in fluorescence intensity. This demonstrates the feasibility of the detection system proposed in this invention.
[0062] In the above verification steps, the concentration of Eu@CDs fluorescent probe was 100.0 mg / L; the concentration of NFZ was 32.0 mg / L; the concentration of TC was 40.0 mg / L; the pH of the added Tris-HCl buffer was 8.3-8.7; the reaction temperature was 35 ℃; and the mixing and reaction time was 1.5 min.
[0063] Example 4: Detection of different concentrations of furazolidone and tetracycline standards in Eu@CDs fluorescence mode
[0064] Different concentration gradients of NFZ solutions (including 0.0, 2.0, 5.0, 8.0, 11.0, 14.0, 17.0, 20.0, 23.0, 26.0, 29.0, 32.0, and 36.0 mg / L) were reacted with 100.0 mg / L Eu@CDs fluorescent probes in Tris-HCl buffer at 35°C for 1.5 min. After the reaction, the reaction solution was transferred to a fluorescence dish, and the fluorescence intensity F at 450 nm was measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer. q The sample was dropped onto a filter paper strip and irradiated with a 365 nm UV lamp. Fluorescence signals were captured using a smartphone, and the R / B values were obtained through RGB analysis using ImageJ software. The fluorescence intensity at 450 nm decreased with increasing NF2 concentration.
[0065] Therefore, the fluorescence intensity F measured using NFZ standards with different concentration gradients q The fluorescence linear regression equation F = XC was constructed using the fluorescence value, R / B value, and concentration of the standard. NFZ + y、 R / B= XC NFZ + y, where C NFZ This refers to the concentration of the standard. For example... Figure 7As shown, the concentration of NFZ and the fluorescence intensity F are obtained. q The fluorescence intensity was linear in the range of 0.011–32.0 mg / L, with a detection limit of 0.0034 mg / L. The regression equation for fluorescence intensity was F = -47.0608 C. NFZ + 2748.1595, R / B = 0.01921 C NFZ + 0.10289 ( Figure 10 The correlation coefficients were 0.99904 and 0.99029, respectively. Furthermore, as the concentration of NFZ increased, the solution fluorescence exhibited a color gradient (from dark blue to light blue), enabling linear detection of NFZ concentration.
[0066] Different concentration gradients of TC solutions (including 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 8.0, 10.0, 13.0, 16.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 35.0, 40.0, and 45.0 mg / L) were reacted with 100.0 mg / L Eu@CDs fluorescent probes in Tris-HCl buffer at 35 °C for 1.5 min. After the reaction, the reaction solution was transferred to a fluorescence dish, and the fluorescence intensity ratio F at 450 nm and 617 nm (excitation wavelength 370 nm) was measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer. 617 nm / F 450 nm The sample was dropped onto a filter paper strip, irradiated with a 365 nm UV lamp, and the fluorescence signal was captured using a smartphone. Image RGB analysis was performed using ImageJ software. The fluorescence ratio F increased with increasing TC concentration. 617 nm / F 450 nm Gradually increase.
[0067] A linear regression equation F was constructed using the fluorescence intensity ratio, R / B value, and standard concentrations obtained from TC standards at different concentration gradients. 617 nm / F 450 nm = XC TC + y, R / B = XC TC + y, where C TC For standard concentration;
[0068] F 617 nm / F 450 nm = 0.01402 C TC + 0.03211、R / B = 0.02926 C TC + 0.19981
[0069] Therefore, a fluorescence linear regression equation F was constructed using the fluorescence intensity ratio, R / B value, and standard concentrations obtained from TC standards at different concentration gradients. 617 nm / F450 nm = XC TC + y, R / B = XC TC + y, where C TC This refers to the concentration of the standard. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the ratio of TC concentration to fluorescence intensity exhibits a linear relationship between 0.029 and 40.0 mg / L, with a detection limit of 0.00870 mg / L. The regression equation for the fluorescence intensity ratio is F... 617 nm / F 450 nm = 0.01402 C TC + 0.03211、R / B =0.02926 C TC + 0.19981 ( Figure 10 (B) The correlation coefficients were 0.9959 and 0.98944, respectively. Furthermore, as the concentration of TC increases, the solution fluorescence exhibits a color gradient (from dark blue to red), enabling linear detection of TC concentration.
[0070] Example 5: Selectivity test of Eu@CDs for detecting furacilin and tetracycline
[0071] To evaluate the selectivity of Eu@CDs for NFZ, several representative substances were used as proof-of-concept, including blank, kanamycin, amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, ampicillin, streptomycin, histidine, alanine, glutamic acid, tyrosine, methionine, serine, TC, and NFZ. At room temperature, the Eu@CDs fluorescent probes were reacted with each of these substances in Tris-HCl buffer; after thorough mixing and reaction for 1.5 min, the mixture was transferred to a fluorescence dish. The fluorescence intensity at 450 nm was measured. The results are as follows: Figure 9 As shown in Figure A, only the fluorescence intensity value of NFZ shows a significant decrease, indicating that the detection system of the present invention has good selectivity for NFZ.
[0072] To evaluate the selectivity of Eu@CDs for TC, several representative substances were used as proof-of-concept, including blank, kanamycin, amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, ampicillin, streptomycin, histidine, alanine, glutamic acid, tyrosine, methionine, serine, NF2, and TC. At room temperature, the Eu@CDs fluorescent probes were reacted with each of these substances in Tris-HCl buffer; after thorough mixing and reaction for 1.5 min, the mixture was transferred to a fluorescent dish. The fluorescence intensity at 617 nm was measured. The results are as follows: Figure 9 As shown in Figure B, only the fluorescence intensity of TC shows a significant increase, indicating that the detection system of the present invention has good selectivity for TC.
[0073] In the above verification steps, the concentration of Eu@CDs fluorescent probe was 100.0 mg / L; the concentration of selective verification substance was 32.0 mg / L; the pH of the added Tris-HCl buffer was 8.3-8.7; the reaction temperature was 35 ℃; and the mixing and reaction time was 1.5 min.
[0074] Example 6: Detection and verification of NFZ and TC in actual samples using Eu@CDs.
[0075] To verify the sensing performance of Eu@CDs in detecting NFZ and TC in real-world sample applications, tap water was selected as a representative sample. The tap water used in this test was randomly sampled from Hefei, China, without any chemical pretreatment. The solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane to reduce matrix effects, and the pH was adjusted to 8.5. Then, 0.0, 10.0, 20.0, and 30.0 mg / L of NFZ and TC were added, respectively. After thorough mixing, the mixture was reacted for 1.5 min and then transferred to a fluorescence dish.

[0081] In summary, this invention discloses a method for on-site fluorescence visualization detection of antibiotic residues. By designing fluorescent probe molecules with targeted recognition capabilities and combining them with portable sensors in smartphones, a convenient, rapid, and sensitive sensing and detection platform is constructed. This invention constructs an Eu@CDs fluorescence sensor, which emits blue fluorescence at 450 nm under 370 nm excitation. When NFZ is introduced, its nitro group (-NO2) acts as an electron acceptor, inducing photoelectron transfer (PET) from excited-state carbon dots to the nitro group, leading to blue light quenching. Furthermore, NFZ absorbs both 370 nm excitation light and 450 nm emission light, producing a synergistic internal filtering effect (IFE), jointly achieving quantitative blue light quenching. After adding TC, the β-diketone group of TC reacts with Eu... 3+ Chelation absorbs energy and sensitizes Eu through the "antenna effect". 3+It emits a characteristic 617 nm red light. This dual-signal orthogonal response mechanism, combined with a smartphone optical analysis platform, enables on-site single-probe simultaneous sampling and detection of NFZ and TC, with detection limits of 0.0034 mg / L and 0.00870 mg / L, respectively, and linear ranges of 0.011 - 32.0 mg / L and 0.029 - 40.0 mg / L, respectively. This provides an efficient and accurate solution for rapid screening of environmental and food contaminants.
