Method for constructing electrochemiluminescence aptamer sensor for omethoate detection
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of electrochemical analysis and detection, and discloses an electrochemiluminescence aptamer sensor for detecting omethoate in a vegetable sample.
Background
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) refer to phosphorus-containing organic compound pesticides that are widely used in agricultural production, primarily as insecticides, and rarely as herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators. Plays an active role in controlling agricultural plant diseases and insect pests and improving the quality and the yield of agricultural products. Omethoate (OMT) is one of organophosphorus pesticides, and is widely applied by farmers in various countries in the world due to the advantages of broad spectrum, high efficiency, rapidness, low price and the like. The abuse of omethoate for a long time in large quantities makes the pesticide residue problem increasingly serious. The residues of the organophosphorus pesticide not only pollute the ecological environment, but also cause different degrees of harm to human health and life safety. Its toxicity is based on the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase in humans, which is essential for the functioning of the mammalian central nervous system. A series of symptoms of neurotoxicity appear when OPPs are ingested in a large amount, and respiratory paralysis and even death appear in severe cases. Organ damage, teratogenesis, carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, and the like can occur when OPPs are taken in low doses for a long time or through diet.
The existing methods for detecting OMT comprise research methods such as a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry combination method, an enzyme inhibition method, a high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry combination method and the like, and although the methods can meet the requirements of sensitivity and specificity detection, the methods have certain limitations in the aspect of practical application. For example, chromatography can be used for qualitative and quantitative detection, and the detection result is relatively accurate, reliable, high in sensitivity and good in reproducibility, but the used instruments and equipment are expensive, the operation is complex, and professional technicians are required, so that the method is not suitable for processing and analyzing large-batch samples and performing rapid detection on the spot. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a light emission phenomenon that is generated when an excited state of a reaction product is generated by efficient electron transfer by applying a voltage or current to an electrode surface, and the excited state returns to a ground state. As a novel analysis and detection means combining chemiluminescence phenomenon and electrochemical technology, ECL couples the advantages of both (such as high sensitivity, low background interference, low detection limit, good selectivity and reproducibility, etc.), and thus, is widely used in the fields of food quality and safety, clinical treatment, environmental monitoring, etc.
