Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical detection, and particularly relates to a tetracycline antibiotic detection method based on a graphene quantum dot and europium ion composite system.
Background
The tetracycline antibiotics are a broad-spectrum antibiotics produced by actinomycetes, and include aureomycin, oxytetracycline, tetracycline and semisynthetic derivatives of methacycline, doxycycline, dimethylamino tetracycline, and the like, and the structures of the antibiotics all contain the basic skeleton of tetracene. As a broad spectrum antibiotic, contamination by abuse of tetracycline antibiotics has attracted attention.
The existing common analysis and detection methods of tetracycline antibiotics include liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, capillary electrophoresis, colorimetry, fluorescence analysis and the like. However, these methods generally have some disadvantages, such as complicated operation of chromatography and electrophoresis, long analysis time, and insufficient sensitivity of colorimetry. The fluorescence analysis method is simple to operate and high in sensitivity, so that the development of the fluorescence analysis method of the tetracycline antibiotics is of great significance. Existing fluorescence analysis methods for antibiotics are roughly divided into two types, One is established by quenching fluorescent nanomaterials (such as fluorescent carbon dots) with tetracycline antibiotics (x. Yang, y. Luo, s. Zhu, y. Feng, y. Zhuo, y. Dou, One-potyntheses of high fluorescence carbon nanoparticles and the above applications for detection of tetracyclines, biosen. bioelectrode.56 (2014) 6-11.), and the other is established by forming luminescent complexes with tetracycline using Europium ions (l.d.s. Teixeira, a.n. Grasso, a.m. Monteiro, a.m.f. Neto, n.d. vireira jr., m. Giundl.c. coupled, and the same as 20. c.e. 20 and 19. the same of the same type), and the other is established by using Europium ions and tetracycline to form luminescent complexes with tetracycline. The first kind of fluorescence analysis method is a fluorescence reduction type, and the second kind of fluorescence analysis method needs to search and add a substance capable of enhancing the fluorescence of the europium luminescent complex into the system because the luminescent complex formed by europium ions and tetracycline has weak fluorescence intensity.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems.
