Detailed Description
The present invention will be described below with reference to specific examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
The experimental methods used in the following examples are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified; reagents, materials and the like used in the following examples are commercially available unless otherwise specified.
Examples 1,
Preparation of mono-and water-soluble diketone structure polymer
According to the preparation route of FIG. 1, polyethylene glycol methyl methacrylate (molecular weight 950) and ethylene glycol acetoacetate methacrylate were mixed in a ratio of 1:1 in terms of the amounts of the substances.
Adding the mixed polyethylene glycol methyl methacrylate and acetoacetic acid ethylene glycol methacrylate into a polymerization tube, adding an initiator azobisisoheptonitrile, adding a solvent dimethylformamide, and sealing by using a rubber plug.
Nitrogen was introduced for 30 minutes to evacuate the air inside the polymerization tube. The mixture was heated in an oil bath at 70 ℃ for 8 hours with stirring.
The polymerization solution was precipitated by adding ether and centrifuged (10000 rpm, 10 minutes) to obtain a precipitated solid.
And cooling the obtained polymer solid by using liquid nitrogen, and cooling and draining to obtain the water-soluble diketone structure polymer.
Secondly, preparing formaldehyde detection liquid
And (3) dissolving the prepared polymer with a certain mass and ammonium salt with a certain mass in a PBS buffer solution to obtain a formaldehyde detection solution, and storing at room temperature. Wherein the ratio of the amounts of polymer (calculated on the basis of the amount of diketone) and ammonium salt is 1:2.5, and ammonium acetate is used as ammonium salt.
Third, formaldehyde detection
Adding the prepared formaldehyde detection solution into an L929 cell culture dish. After the cells are swallowed for 30 minutes, the detection solution is removed, and after 3 times of washing with PBS buffer solution, a formaldehyde solution with a trace concentration (100 mu mol/L) is added for simulation detection. And (3) observing cell fluorescence: all the liquid was removed from the cell culture dish and the fluorescence on the cells was observed using a confocal laser microscope. As shown in FIG. 7 b/b'.
Example 2 fluorescence Spectroscopy test experiment
1) After the polymer was obtained according to the preparation method of example 1, a formaldehyde detection solution was prepared from the polymer and ammonium salt at a certain concentration. Acetylacetone and ammonium salt with certain mass are prepared into the traditional formaldehyde detection solution. The ratio of the amount of acetylacetone to the amount of ammonium salt is 1:2.5, and the ammonium salt is ammonium acetate.
2) And adding a trace amount of formaldehyde solution (the concentration is 100 mu mol/L), taking 360 nanometers as an excitation wavelength, and detecting the sensitivity and the timeliness of the formaldehyde solution and the formaldehyde solution through a fluorescence spectrum test. As shown in fig. 3 and 4.
As can be seen from fig. 3 and 4: in comparison, the detection sensitivity of the polymer-based detection solution is higher than that of the traditional acetylacetone, and the polymer-based detection solution has stronger fluorescence intensity.
Example 3 detection Limit test experiment
The water-soluble polymer prepared in example 1 and ammonium acetate were taken to prepare a formaldehyde detection solution (polymer concentration 20 mg/mL; ammonium acetate concentration 2mg/mL), which was compared with conventional acetylacetone and ammonium acetate detection solutions (polymer concentration 1 mg/mL; ammonium acetate concentration 2mg/mL), and reacted with formaldehyde solutions of different concentrations, respectively, to detect the fluorescence intensity values measured with a multi-well microplate reader, and the detection limit was determined based on the linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity values and formaldehyde concentrations. The results are shown in FIG. 5. From fig. 5a, b, it can be seen that: in comparison, the formaldehyde detection effect of the detection liquid based on the macromolecule can achieve the effect similar to the traditional acetylacetone formaldehyde detection effect.
Example 4 specificity test experiment
The water-soluble polymer prepared in example 1 and ammonium acetate are prepared into formaldehyde detection solution, compared with the traditional acetylacetone and ammonium acetate detection solution, the formaldehyde detection solution reacts with different substance solutions (with the same concentration) respectively, the fluorescence luminosity value measured by a porous microplate reader is detected, and the specificity of detecting formaldehyde is measured according to the fluorescence luminosity value. The results are shown in FIG. 6.
From fig. 6a, b, it can be seen that: the formaldehyde detection solution based on the macromolecule can achieve the specific detection of formaldehyde by the traditional acetylacetone detection solution, and even has better effect.
Example 5 cell safety test experiment
The cell viability of the water-soluble polymer and acetylacetone of example 1 was tested by L929 cells. The measurement is carried out by adopting a CCK-8 calibration method and testing the absorbance value by utilizing a microplate reader.
The results of comparing the cell safety of high and small molecule acetylacetone were calculated with the cell standard of 100% in normal medium and 0% in normal medium without cell standard, and are shown in fig. 8.
From fig. 8a, b, it can be seen that: in comparison, the safety of the high molecular polymer for detecting the substance is much better than that of the traditional acetylacetone. It is almost non-toxic even in high concentration, so it has very good biocompatibility.
