Description

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of nanomaterial and sensor preparation, and specifically relates to a composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe and a preparation method and use thereof. BACKGROUND Chloramphenicol (CAP) is an effective broad-spectrum antibiotic. CAP works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins. However, the excessive use of CAP and the residual CAP can affect the human health. On the one hand, the excessive CAP can cause an irreversible damage to the hematopoietic and digestive systems. On the other hand, the presence of a drug residue in the food can pose a serious threat to the human health. Therefore, CAP has been banned in the animal husbandry worldwide. Currently, the common methods for detecting and classifying CAP include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and immunoassay. These methods have high detection accuracy, but are still faced with problems such as long experimental time, expensive equipment, high requirements for operator skills, and false-negative and false-positive results easily caused by matrix interference. In addition, these methods are not suitable for on-site point-of-care testing. Therefore, a high-sensitivity method for detecting CAP needs to be designed. In recent years, fluorescence methods have been widely studied due to advantages such as simple operations, high accuracy, and visualization, which are conducive to the breakthrough of environmental limitations and the real-time monitoring of CAP under different conditions. Therefore, the development of high-sensitivity fluorescent probes for detecting CAP is of great practical significance. Lanthanide materials have sharp linear emission bands and long fluorescence lifetimes. In particular, europium ion (Eu3+)-based coordination polymers have prominent red fluorescence emissions, and are suitable for fluorescence quantification and visual detection. However, europium ion-based single signals are easily interfered with by environments and instruments, which results in poor stability and reproducibility of fluorescent probes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design and develop a ratiometric fluorescent probe that has prominent stability and reproducibility and can be used for CAP detection. SUMMARY In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present disclosure provides a composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe and a preparation method and use thereof. The composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe of the present disclosure is produced by compounding fluorescent microsphere probes with a magnetically-functionalized europium coordination polymer.

The present disclosure also provides a use of the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe in visual detection of CAP. The visual detection refers to semi-quantitative detection or quantitative detection. Further, the use specifically includes the following steps: (1) plotting of a standard curve for CAP detection: mixing CAP aqueous solutions with BCDs@CaCO3-Apt / Eu-Fe3O4@SiO2-Hapten to obtain fluorescence composite systems, fitting a standard curve of CAP concentrations through fluorescence analysis, and recording colors of the fluorescence composite systems under an ultraviolet lamp; and (2) mixing a sample to be tested with a ratiometric fluorescence composite system to obtain a mixed solution, placing the mixed solution under an ultraviolet lamp, and recording color information to obtain a CAP concentration range; and detecting a fluorescence intensity value of the mixed solution, and calculating a CAP concentration according to the standard curve. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages: 1. The composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe of the present disclosure allows a detection based on a competition law, where the CAP-Hapten competes with CAP for the CAP-Apt to implement detection. The CAP-Hapten can bind to the CAP-Apt, but exhibits a weaker binding ability than CAP. The CAP-Apt has strong specificity, and exhibits higher stability and environmental adaptability than antibodies and enzymes. A detection time of the method in the present disclosure is shortened by half compared with other fluorescence analysis methods, and a detection limit of the method in the present disclosure is accurate to 0.09 ng / mL from the 0.7 ng / mL of the existing detection method. 2. When the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe of the present disclosure is used, two fluorescence signals can be observed. With the addition of CAP, one of the two fluorescence signals will change. Due to an immune response, BCDs@CaCO3-Apt preferentially binds to CAP. Under an action of a magnetic field, the magnetically-functionalized europium coordination polymer is retained. Blue fluorescence is removed after rinsing. Therefore, the blue fluorescence is weakened, and the red fluorescence remains unchanged. Compared with a single-fluorescence-signal probe, the present disclosure has the advantage of reducing the interference caused by an environment and an instrument. 3. After being mixed with CAP of different concentrations, the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe of the present disclosure can produce a gradient color change under an ultraviolet lamp. A fluorescence color of a mixed system changes with the increase of a CAP concentration. Thus, a CAP concentration range can be determined semi-quantitatively according to a color, which makes it easy to achieve the visual detection of a sample to be tested. 4. The composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe of the present disclosure exhibits prominent selectivity for CAP and a prominent anti-interference ability for common antibiotics and inorganic ions, and has a specified practical value in food detection. 5. In the magnetically-functionalized europium coordination polymer of the present disclosure, a ligand bpm is introduced into a europium-based binary complex to produce a ternary complex, which greatly improves a luminescence intensity of the original complex and enhances and modifies the luminescence properties of europium ions under an action of the double ligands, thereby improving a luminescence efficiency of the rare earth complex. The ratiometric fluorescence produced by combining carbon dots and a europium-based polymer in the present disclosure has a self-calibration function, which can eliminate the fluctuations caused by external factors and improve the reliability and reproducibility of detection results.

S3: Preparation of a magnetically-functionalized europium coordination polymer 20 mg of the Fe3O4@SiO2 was added to 130 mL of DMF and 20 mL of pure water, and a pH was adjusted with 0.1 mol / L HC1 to 7.0. 30 mg of the [Eu(BTA)3]2bpm and 3 mL of ammonia water were added, and ultrasonic mixing was conducted for 10 min. 5 mL of TEOS was added, and a reaction was further conducted for 10 h to obtain a fourth product. The fourth product was washed 3 times with absolute ethanol and then dried to obtain Eu-Fe3O4@SiO2. 80 mg of the Eu-Fe3O4@SiO2 was dispersed in 50 mL of ultrapure water, 8 mL of APTES was added, and a reaction was conducted on a shaker for 10 h to obtain a fifth product. The fifth product was washed 3 times with each of ethanol and ultrapure water and then vacuum-dried at 50°C for 8 h. 8.0 mg of CAP-Hapten, 40 mg of sulfo-NHS, and 80 mg of EDC were dissolved in 1 mL of methanol, and a reaction was conducted for 4 h to obtain a third reaction solution. The third reaction solution was added to an MES buffer (5 mL) including 100.0 mg of the Eu-Fe3O4@SiO2, stirring was conducted for 8 h to obtain a sixth product, and the sixth product was washed to obtain the magnetically-functionalized europium coordination polymer, which was denoted as Eu-Fe3O4@SiO2-Hapten. (3) Preparation of the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe BCDs@CaCO3-Apt / Eu-Fe3O4@SiO2-Hapten 10 pL of a Eu-Fe3O4@SiO2-Hapten solution and 25 pL of a BCDs@CaCO3-Apt solution were mixed to obtain the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe, which was denoted as BCDs@CaCO3-Apt / Eu-Fe3O4@SiO2-Hapten. A concentration of the BCDs@CaCO3-Apt solution was 10 mg / mL and a concentration of the Eu-Fe3O4@SiO2-Hapten solution was 10 mg / mL. Example 4 Plotting of a standard curve for CAP detection CAP standard solutions were prepared with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). 100 pL of each of the CAP standard solutions was mixed with the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe BCDs@CaCO3-Apt / Eu-Fe3O4@SiO2-Hapten in Example 1 to obtain composite systems with CAP concentrations of 0 ng / mL, 0.1 ng / mL, 0.5 ng / mL, 1 ng / mL, 3 ng / mL, 5 ng / mL, 7 ng / mL, 10 ng / mL, 15 ng / mL, and 20 ng / mL, respectively. The composite systems each were incubated at room temperature for 10 min to produce supernatants and precipitates. The supernatants were removed. The precipitates each were collected by a magnet and dispersed in 1 mL of PBS. Under 365 nm excitation light, fluorescence spectra of the composite systems with different CAP concentrations at 350 nm to 650 nm were recorded. As shown in FIG. 3, when no CAP is present, the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe emits both red and blue fluorescences. With the addition of CAP, a fluorescence signal change can be observed. Due to an immune response, BCDs@CaCO3-Apt preferentially binds to CAP. Under an action of a magnetic field, the red fluorescence of magnetic functionalization is retained. The blue fluorescence is removed after rinsing. Therefore, the blue fluorescence is weakened. FIG. 4 is a calibration curve produced by fitting fluorescence intensity ratios F435 / F615 at 435 nm and 615 nm to CAP concentration changes, with a corresponding function of Y = 6.663-0.304X, a correlation coefficient of R2 = 0.997, and a linear range of 0 ng / mL to 20 ng / mL. Example 5 Semi-quantitative visual detection of CAP The composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe in Example 1 was mixed with CAP at different concentrations to obtain mixed solutions. The mixed solutions each were incubated for 10 min to produce supernatants and precipitates. The supernatants were removed. The precipitates each were collected by a magnet, then dispersed in PBS, and placed under an ultraviolet lamp, and corresponding color information was recorded. Color signals were mapped to the CAP concentrations, respectively, and a color change was recorded in the order from small to large. FIG. 5 shows a fluorescence color map of the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe corresponding to CAP at different concentrations. Under 365 nm ultraviolet light, it can be clearly observed by naked eyes that a fluorescence color of a mixed system changes from purple to red when different concentrations of CAP (0 ng / mL to 20 ng / mL) are added. Therefore, the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe of the present disclosure can achieve the semi-quantitative visual detection of CAP according to color information. Example 6 Detection and analysis of CAP in milk samples In order to test a quantitative analysis effect of a combination of a smart phone and the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe for actual samples, a residue in each sample to be tested was detected in this example. Specific steps were as follows: 20 pL of trichloroacetic acid (20% V / V) was added to 2 mL of a sample to obtain a mixture, and the mixture was subjected to an ultrasonic treatment for 30 min and then centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min to obtain a supernatant. The supernatant was filtered with a filter paper to obtain a CAP-containing extraction solution. The extraction solution was added to the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe in Example 1 to obtain a composite system, and the composite system was incubated for 10 min to obtain a supernatant and a precipitate. The supernatant was removed. The precipitate was collected by a magnet and then dispersed in PBS to obtain a solution. The solution was placed under a 365 nm ultraviolet lamp, and a color of the solution was observed. The solution was placed in a fluorescence spectrometer, and a fluorescence spectrum of the solution was determined under 360 nm excitation light to obtain a fluorescence intensity ratio F435 / F615. The F435 / F615 was substituted into the fitted equation in Example 4 to obtain a CAP content in the sample. An accuracy of the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe in CAP detection was investigated by a standard spiking method. Results showed that spiked CAP could be accurately measured with a high recovery rate (from 97% to 107%) and a prominent accuracy (RSD <5.2%). Example 7 Evaluation of specificity of the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe In this example, standard solutions of antibiotics (cefapirin, amoxicillin, tetracycline, enrofloxacin, and sulfamethoxazole) and inorganic ions (potassium ions, sodium ions, magnesium ions, zinc ions, carbonate ions, sulfate ions, and nitrate ions) were prepared as interfering substances to evaluate the specificity of the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe. These standard solutions all had a concentration of 1 M. Different antibiotics each were added to the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe solution in Example 1, with final antibiotic concentrations all of 10 ng / mL. The method in Example 5 was adopted for detection, and detection results were shown in FIG. 6A. FIG. 6A is a schematic diagram of selectivity of the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe in the present disclosure for the five antibiotics of cefapirin, amoxicillin, tetracycline, enrofloxacin, and sulfamethoxazole. It can be seen from this figure that a fluorescence ratio change is found merely in a solution including CAP but not in solutions including other spiked samples, indicating that the aptamer recognition has excellent selectivity and the detection of CAP in the composite system is specific and will not be interfered with by other coexisting antibiotics. CAP was mixed with different inorganic ions to obtain mixed solutions. The mixed solutions each were added to the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe solution in Example 1 to obtain composite systems each with a final inorganic ion concentration of 500 pM and a final CAP concentration of 50 pM. The method in Example 5 was adopted for detection, and detection results were shown in FIG. 6B. FIG. 6B is a schematic diagram of selectivity of the composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe for potassium ions, sodium ions, magnesium ions, zinc ions, carbonate ions, sulfate ions, and nitrate ions. It can be seen from this figure that there is no significant difference between a signal of each mixed solution and a signal when CAP is present alone, indicating that the sensor has excellent selectivity for CAP and is not interfered with by other ions in a solution. In summary, a composite magnetic-assisted ratiometric fluorescent probe is successfully constructed, which can achieve the high-sensitivity and high-selectivity detection of CAP. The above examples are preferred implementations of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure is not limited to the above implementations. Any obvious improvement, substitution, or modification made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essence of the present disclosure should fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
