摘要

The realization of sensitive detection of ofloxacin (OFL) residues is a key measure to prevent environmental risks caused by improper use of antibiotics, ensure food safety and promote public health security. Utilizing split crRNA with CRISPR/Cas12a (SCas12a)-powered cascade strand displacement amplification (C-SDA) and using phosphorothioate-modified G-quadruplex/triplex (psG43) concatemer fluorescence probe, a strategy named SCCA was devised for OFL detection. Target OFL triggers the SCas12a-driven C-SDA, and then activates SCas12a’s trans-cleavage activity. The activated SCas12a system cleaves reporter probe and then releases the psG43 sequence, which then combines with thioflavin T (ThT) to emit a fluorescence signal. The SCCA strategy not only avoids the design of PAM required by traditional C-SDA, but also can specifically detect OFL as low as 0.1 pM. The anti-interference advantage of psG43 enables the utilization of the SCCA strategy for OFL detection in milk samples.
