The electrochemical sensor for detecting the total number of water
bacteria colonies and its preparation method and application belong to the technical field of water detection. In order to solve the technical problems of long time consumption, inability to detect VBNC
bacteria, lack of general target for detection, etc. in the existing water
bacteria colony number detection method, the present application constructs an ultra-sensitive electrochemical sensor based on a triple
signal amplification strategy by screening a general
nucleic acid target fragment for water bacteria
colony number detection, designing a corresponding hairpin probe and a hairpin structure capture probe. The sensor can realize rapid determination of the total number of water bacteria colonies, has good anti-interference, reproducibility and stability, can realize high-sensitivity detection of bacterial 16S rRNA
gene, the
linear range is 0.1 fM to 100 pM, the
detection limit is as low as 1.0 aM; at the same time, it can realize actual detection of bacteria as low as 1 CFU / mL, and the detection result is highly consistent with the plate counting method, which is the "
gold standard" for water bacteria
colony number detection.
