One-step competitive colorimetric and fluorescence immunoassay for the determination of propiconazole pesticide assisted by gold nanoparticles and red carbon dots
摘要
Most of the detection methods for the triazole pesticide propiconazole hardly meet the requirements of its residue limits in different species. To solve this problem, t a one-step competitive colorimetric-fluorescence immunoassay for propiconazole detection assisted by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and red carbon dots (rCDs) was constructed. The proposed immunosensor demonstrated a wide linear detection range of 0.09–600 ng/mL (colorimetry) and 0.8–600 ng/mL (fluorescence), with detection limits as low as 0.01 ng/mL (colorimetry) and 0.8 ng/mL (fluorescence). The method was applicable to the detection of propiconazole residue limits in various foods (bananas, potatoes, lotus roots, corn) and the accuracy was verified by LC-MS. The versatility of this detection platform enables its expansion for the detection of different small-molecule hazards through the incorporation of target-specific antigens and antibodies.
