Detailed Implementation
[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the technical solution and beneficial effects of the present invention, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be emphasized that the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not constitute any limitation on the present invention. The present invention can have many other embodiments, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0032] Example 1 A method for preparing a cellulose membrane-based fluorescence colorimetric sensor based on a Tb-AMP complex is provided, comprising the following steps: 1) Pre-cool the sodium hydroxide / urea aqueous solution (where the mass ratio of sodium hydroxide, urea, and water is 7:12:81) to... At 12.5℃, add cellulose and stir until completely dissolved to obtain a cellulose solution with a concentration of 3wt%. Place the cellulose solution in a centrifuge and centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes to remove bubbles.
[0033] 2) Pour the degassed cellulose solution onto a glass plate, spread it into a uniform film with a glass rod, place the film into a dilute sulfuric acid solution (concentration: 3wt%), and solidify it into a film by casting.
[0034] 3) Cut the cellulose membrane into 1cm×1cm pieces and then immerse them in pure water for later use.
[0035] 4) Take 15g of the cellulose membrane from step 3) and add it to 3g of sodium hydroxide and 60mL of water to prepare a solution. React at room temperature for 1 hour.
[0036] 5) Weigh 6g of sodium chloroacetate and add it to the mixed solution in step 4). Heat the mixture in a water bath at 50°C for 14 hours. After the reaction, remove the membrane and wash it until it is neutral to obtain a carboxymethyl cellulose membrane.
[0037] 6) Add the carboxymethyl cellulose membrane obtained in step 5) to 50 mL of a 5 mM TbCl3·6H2O solution, mix and stir for 1 hour to obtain the Tb-loaded membrane. 3+ Carboxymethyl cellulose membrane (Tb 3+ @CCM).
[0038] 7) Prepare 50 mL of AMP (adenosine 5-phosphate) solution with a concentration of 0.05 mM using 0.1 M 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer.
[0039] 8) Take the Tb obtained in step 6) 3+ @CCM was placed in AMP solution and gently stirred for 1 hour. The membrane was then removed and stored in deionized water to obtain Tb-AMP@CCM.
[0040] To fully understand the performance of the Tb-AMP@CCM sensor prepared in Example 1, a series of tests were conducted on samples, as follows: Using ciprofloxacin (CIP) and water as raw materials, test solutions with CIP concentrations of 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 90, 100, 200, and 500 μM were prepared using a gradient dilution method. The TB-AMP@CCMs sensor prepared in Example 1 was then added to each test solution. After standing for 30 minutes, the sensor was retrieved for fluorescence detection, yielding the results shown below. Figure 1 The digital image shown. From Figure 1 As can be seen, as the CIP concentration gradually increases from 0-500 μM, the fluorescence of Tb-AMP@CCMs gradually changes from orange-red to green, which provides a possibility for the quantitative detection of FQs. Figure 1 It can also be found that the visual detection limit (VLOD) of Tb-AMP@CCM for the chemical colorimetric sensor of FQs is 0.1 μM.
[0041] To verify that the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor prepared in Example 1 can trigger significant fluorescence upon interaction with fluoroquinolone drugs and is unaffected by interference from other chemical components, the color changes of the Tb-AMP@CCM sensor in solutions of different metal ions and several common interfering substances (2 mM, 5 mL) were tested. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. By Figure 2 It can be seen that the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor is effective against five metal ions (K+, K ... + Ca 2+ Na + Mg 2+ Ba 2+ No significant changes were observed in the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor in eight common interfering solutions (Melamine, Sucrose, Glu, VA, AZM, Urea, IBU, GSH) and H2O; however, when CIP was added to these solutions, the color of the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor rapidly changed from orange to green. This demonstrates the specific selectivity of the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor for FQs.
[0042] To determine whether the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor possesses long-term stable performance, the Tb-AMP@CCMs prepared in Example 1 were stored in an aqueous solution at room temperature for 1 day, 10 days, 30 days, 50 days, and 60 days. They were then immersed in a test solution with an FQs concentration of 100 μM, allowed to stand for 30 minutes, and then retrieved for fluorescence detection. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown. By Figure 3 It can be seen that, under the same detection conditions, the difference in fluorescence intensity observed by the naked eye after the reaction of the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor is not significant as the storage days increase. Even after storage for more than 60 days, the detection effect of the TB-AMP@CCM sensor on TC remains unaffected.
[0043] To verify the actual performance of the TB-AMP@CCMs sensor, we applied it to the detection of ciprofloxacin in milk. The specific process is as follows: (1) Dilute the milk sample to be tested by 10 times, and then add CIP standard solution to prepare a series of CIP solutions of different concentrations (5, 10, 50µM); (2) Take 5mL of CIP solution and place it in a reaction bottle. After washing the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor with water, contact it with each sample for detection and analysis; (3) Place the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor under a UV lamp for irradiation and record the color change results. The specific results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0044] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that as the CIP solution in the milk sample gradually increases from 5-50 μM, the green fluorescence of the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor gradually increases; compared with the addition of standard CIP solution, the fluorescence intensity is not significantly different by the naked eye, indicating that the Tb-AMP@CCMs sensor has the potential to detect FQs in real samples.
