Description

Electrochemical microneedle sensor for detecting glucose in fruits and vegetables and preparation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to an electrochemical microneedle sensor, in particular to an electrochemical microneedle sensor for detecting glucose in fruits and vegetables and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Glucose has a high chemical activity and is more selective when detected in biological samples. With the development of enzyme engineering and nanoscience, more and more new technologies are being applied to the detection of glucose. According to the principle, the current methods for detecting glucose can be divided into a colorimetric method, a fluorescence method, a Raman spectroscopy method and an electrochemical method. The colorimetric detection of glucose is based on an enzyme and a color developer, glucose oxidase can oxidize glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide, which in the presence of peroxidase can cause color change of the color developer. The colorimetry is simple in operation, low in cost and high in speed, does not need a complex instrument, can read data by naked eyes, and is suitable for spot inspection. Raman scattering is a non-elastic process in which incident photons either lose energy or gain energy from the vibrational and rotational movements of the analyte molecules. The raman spectrum thus produced consists of bands specific to the molecular structure, thus producing a chemical fingerprint specific to the molecule. However, raman scattering signals are weak, which limits its application in chemical analysis. Since the fluorescence intensity interacts with glucose in a concentration-dependent manner, the fluorescence sensor detects glucose by using light of variable frequency, which has the advantage of being sensitive, fast, and non-destructive. Glucose concentration can be calculated by measuring the increase or decrease in fluorescence of a fluorescence donor associated with a glucose acceptor molecule. The electrochemical detection has the characteristics of high sensitivity, simplicity and rapidness in operation, good specificity and convenience in miniaturization and integration. Because glucose and oxidation products thereof have high electrochemical activity, electrochemical methods have been widely used in glucose detection. Glucose electrochemical sensors can be classified into a glucose electrochemical sensor and a non-enzyme electrochemical sensor according to the use or non-use of an enzyme. The enzyme sensor is based on glucose dehydrogenase or glucose oxidase, and has the advantages of high selectivity, high sensitivity, low detection limit and operability under physiological pH conditions. The non-enzyme sensor obtains signals by directly oxidizing glucose, and has the advantages of low cost, high stability and high response speed. Compared with the detection method, the method for detecting glucose has the advantages that the colorimetric method has poor anti-interference performance and low sensitivity; the fluorescence method is easy to be interfered by the background, is difficult to detect on site and has poor selectivity; raman spectroscopy is weak for glucose signals and is not conducive to detection. The electrochemical method has the characteristics of high sensitivity, simple and quick operation, easy microminiaturization and integration, and the like, and has great advantages in monitoring glucose signals in organisms. Besides intuitively displaying the glucose content, the electrochemical method can reflect the change of the glucose content in the organism in real time, and is favorable for realizing information real-time monitoring. With the development of medical means, products such as glucometers and the like are gradually marketed, animal blood sugar detection means are mature and developed, and the field of in-vivo glucose monitoring of fruits and vegetables is still lack of research. Therefore, development of the fruit and vegetable glucose monitoring device based on the electrochemical method can timely acquire fruit and vegetable physiological information and environmental information, and has important significance for developing agricultural productivity.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems in the background technology, the invention provides an electrochemical microneedle sensor for detecting fruit and vegetable glucose and a preparation method thereof. The invention integrates the nano composite interface with the hollow microneedle to prepare the minimally invasive electrochemical microneedle sensor, and can monitor glucose signals in the Pink-crown tomatoes and the aloe in real time.
With the development of micro-nano technology, as a very promising biosensing and drug delivery tool, micro-sized needles-microneedles have been widely used. For fruits and vegetables, the micro-needle can obtain interstitial fluid under the condition that normal growth of fruits and vegetables is not affected, and in-situ and real-time monitoring of physiological information of fruits and vegetables is realized. Electrochemical sensors provide an effective means for continuous monitoring of physiological information due to the inherent advantages of miniaturization and non-invasive sample collection. Therefore, electrochemical and micro-needle technologies are often combined to realize minimally invasive detection of fruit and vegetable physiological information. The combination of electrochemistry and micro-needles has great development prospect in the field of real-time perception of biological and physiological information.
The growth and development of fruits and vegetables are not separated from the production, transportation, storage and utilization of sugar, and the sugar is not only an important carbon source for producing energy and synthesizing biomacromolecules, but also serves as a signal molecule for regulating various physiological processes such as metabolism, adverse reaction and the like. Although various sugars play an important role in the embryo's process from development to senescence, glucose is the most basic unit, and forms a network with other signal molecules in the body of fruits and vegetables to regulate gene expression and protein synthesis, progression of the cell cycle, primary and secondary metabolism, and growth and development procedures to maintain normal growth of fruits and vegetables.

The invention relates to a minimally invasive real-time sensing method of an electrochemical microneedle sensor, which comprises the following steps:
the modified micro-platinum wire electrode, the micro-reference electrode and the working area of the micro-platinum wire electrode of the electrochemical microneedle sensor are inserted into stems or leaves of fruits and vegetables containing glucose, and the change of signals transmitted by the electrochemical microneedle sensor is monitored in real time through an electrochemical workstation, so that the real-time monitoring and sensing of the change of the glucose concentration of the fruits and vegetables are realized.
The morphology analysis of the nanocomposite micro interface at the working area of the microneedle sensor of embodiment 1 of the present invention is specifically as follows:
microscopic morphology of MPt-Au surface gold nanoparticle AuNPs at a reduction time of 150s was observed by scanning electron microscope SEM, and the results are shown in fig. 1 (a), fig. 1 (b), fig. 1 (c) and fig. 1 (d). Compared with a bare micro-platinum wire, the deposition of AuNPs enables compact particles to appear on the surface of the micro-platinum wire, besides improving the electron transfer efficiency, the nano structure also enables the surface roughness of the micro-platinum wire to be improved, and the subsequent crosslinking adsorption of glucose oxidase is facilitated. The micro platinum wires were surface analyzed by X-ray spectroscopy. After electrochemical reduction treatment, gold elements appear on the surface of the micro-platinum wire, and the construction of the gold nano micro-interface is successfully realized by the method provided by the verification again.
As shown in fig. 2 (a), fig. 2 (b), fig. 2 (c) and fig. 2 (d), the SEM images of MPt-Au, MPt-Au-Nafion-GOX-PU interfaces were sequentially obtained, and the interface morphology of the micro platinum wire after layer-by-layer modification was analyzed by SEM characterization. The dense granular structure demonstrates successful reduction of AuNPs, followed by blurring of the nanointerface, which is caused by successful coating of Nafion membranes. The cross-linked adsorption of glucose oxidase allows the bottommost nanostructure to be further covered and the nanostructure on the view to disappear completely. Finally, modification of the polyurethane resulted in the formation of a rounded small raised structure at the interface, demonstrating successful formation of the polyurethane structure.
The hollow microneedle body of the microneedle sensor of the embodiment of the present invention is shown in fig. 3 (a), fig. 3 (b), fig. 3 (c) and fig. 3 (d). The hollow microneedle substrate was square 6mm long and 6mm wide, and had a thickness of 2mm. In order to facilitate the fixation of the copper wire at the tail end of the microelectrode, a hollow structure is designed for the penetration of the copper wire, the thickness of the hollow part is 1.4mm, the microneedle body is in a quadrangular pyramid shape, the pyramid base is a square with the length of 1.1mm and the width of 1.1mm, the pyramid height is 2mm, and the aperture of the hollow microneedle is 300 mu m. Three microelectrodes are integrated into a hollow microneedle and encapsulated with insulating glue and connected to an electrochemical workstation.
Based on the optimization result, combining with a timing current method, the ampere response of the microneedle sensor to glucose with different concentrations is examined, and a corresponding detection model is established: i=0.00012c+0.0109 (c=0 to 10 mM), i= 0.9126log C-2.568 (c=5 to 100 mM), I represents current, and C represents glucose concentration. The glucose concentrations were 100. Mu.M, 500. Mu.M, 1mM, 5mM, 10mM, 25mM, 50mM, and 100mM, respectively, and the results were shown in FIG. 4 (a) and FIG. 4 (b). As the glucose concentration increases, the current response of the microneedle sensor increases significantly. And drawing a scatter diagram by taking the glucose concentration or the logarithmic value of the glucose concentration as the X axis and the current value as the Y axis, and performing linear fitting. From the graph, when the glucose concentration ranges from 0mM to 10mM, the ampere response of the microneedle sensor is positively correlated with the glucose concentration, and the linear regression equation is I=0.00012C+0.0109, and the linear correlation coefficient is 0.9891; when the glucose concentration ranges from 5mM to 100mM, the current response of the sensor is positively correlated with the logarithm of the glucose concentration, and the linear regression equation is I= 0.9126log C-2.5680, and the linear correlation coefficient is 0.8453.
The anti-interference, repeatability and stability tests are specifically as follows:
the amperometric response of the microneedle sensor to six interfering substances, ascorbic acid, fructose, sucrose, lactose, maltose and raffinose, when detecting glucose was tested. Firstly, a buffer solution is dripped on a microneedle sensor, a pipette is used for removing the liquid after a signal is stable, a glucose solution is added again, other interferents are added in the same mode after the signal is stable, and the pipette gun head is not contacted with a working area of the microneedle sensor in the operation process, so that the damage to devices is avoided. The concentration of each substance is selected to be the same as the previous section according to the relative content of the seven components in the fruit and vegetable body, and the result is shown in figure 5. The current response of the microneedle sensor to the interfering substance is close to zero, and glucose with equal concentration is added again after the interfering substance is added, the ampere response of the microneedle sensor is not changed obviously compared with the response of glucose added for the first time, so that the microneedle sensor has good anti-interference performance and repeatability, and has great application potential in actual detection.
In the actual application scene of the sensing device, the repeatability and the stability of the sensor have practical significance. To investigate the reproducibility of the proposed microneedle sensor, the same microneedle sensor was used here in cycles 6 times, and based on chronoamperometry, the normalized currents for 5mM test object in 6 replicates were compared. Stability was assessed by testing the normalized current of 3 different batches of fabricated microneedle sensors for an isoconcentration analyte. As shown in fig. 6 (a) and fig. 6 (b), for the measured object with the same concentration, the normalized current RSD obtained by recycling 1 microneedle sensor for 6 times is 6.36%, and the normalized current RSD of 3 microneedle sensors with different manufacturing batches is 4.79%, which indicates that the current response difference between the microneedle sensors in recycling and between the microneedle sensors with different batches is not large, so as to meet the requirement of actual detection.
The feasibility analysis is specifically as follows:
in view of the complex matrix effect in the fruit and vegetable tissue, the application feasibility of the constructed microneedle sensor and the quantitative detection model in a fruit and vegetable system is examined. The feasibility verification was performed using a labeled recovery method, and the test was performed in tomato stem grinding fluid using a standard addition method using a microneedle sensor. The stem extracts from three normally grown tomato plants were diluted in a ratio of 1:9 with the grinding fluid and PBS buffer, glucose was added at low concentration (100. Mu.M) and high concentration (5 mM) respectively as supporting electrolytes, and the mixture was detected using a microneedle sensor, and the current response was substituted into the detection model to obtain a glucose concentration value, which was compared with the actual addition amount, and the recovery rate, which was the ratio of the theoretical concentration to the actual addition concentration obtained by the detection model, was calculated according to this, and the results were shown in Table 1. The results show that the recovery rate of the 6 groups of samples is between 92% and 118%, and the positive and negative errors are less than 20%. The results prove that the manufactured microneedle sensor has good biocompatibility in the tomato in-vivo environment, and the interface constructed by the experiment and the established detection model have high feasibility in the application scene in the fruit and vegetable.

The in-situ monitoring is specifically as follows:
in view of the excellent performance of the microneedle sensor based on the MPt-Au-Nafion-GOX-PU composite nano micro interface on glucose detection, the microneedle sensor is applied to in-situ minimally invasive sensing of glucose signals in fruits and vegetables. Here, the tomato powder crown and aloe are taken as experimental objects, and the feasibility of in-situ monitoring of fruit and vegetable physiological information by the microneedle sensor is explored. The micro-needle sensor is inserted into the stems of tomatoes and the leaves of aloe, the fixation of the micro-electrode is realized by means of the rigidity of the micro-needle substrate, meanwhile, the damage and the influence of the sensing process on fruits and vegetables are reduced by utilizing the characteristics of the minimally invasive device, and the copper wire on the back of the micro-needle sensor is connected with the electrochemical workstation for electrochemical detection. During the growth of fruits and vegetables, the glucose content can change rhythmically as a photosynthesis product and a respiration substrate. When fruits and vegetables are subjected to environmental stress, the contents of glucose in the fruits and vegetables are also changed under the influence of multiple signal paths as an important class in bioactive molecules. Based on this principle, tomato and aloe plants were monitored in real time for a period of 12h, and the change in the current response of the device was recorded, and the results are shown in fig. 7 (a) and fig. 7 (b). The results show that the current signals of the microneedle sensors in tomato and aloe show similar change rules in the 12h day and night detection process. After entering the night, photosynthesis of plants is weakened, and respiration consumes glucose, so that current signals are reduced; in contrast, after the day, photosynthesis is enhanced, glucose gradually synthesizes and accumulates, and signals rise.
In addition, in order to simulate osmotic stress which may occur in the environment, a 200mM NaCl solution was added to the soil where tomato plants were grown, and the trend of the current signal was observed, and the result is shown in FIG. 8. The signal did not increase when salt stressed tomato plants entered the day compared to normally grown tomato plants, possibly due to the inhibitory effect of salt on photosynthesis. Experimental results show that the microneedle sensor has good feasibility in real-time sensing of glucose in fruits and vegetables, and has good application prospects in acquisition of stress information.
The wound assessment is specifically as follows:
to evaluate the wound healing of the fruits and vegetables during the detection process by the microneedle sensor and the possible effect of the insertion of the microneedle sensor on the normal growth of the fruits and vegetables, the wound morphology of the tomato and aloe body surface by the microneedle sensor was continuously monitored for 15 days, and the recovery thereof was observed and recorded by an electron microscope, as shown in fig. 9 (a) and 9 (b). The results showed that with the prolongation of the healing time, the wound sites of both tomato and aloe formed callus, and no adverse conditions such as tissue necrosis occurred. And simultaneously comparing growth conditions of 4 plants on the 1 st day and the 15 th day after the microneedle sensor is inserted, and recording by single-shot back shooting. On day 15 of microneedle sensor insertion, both tomato and aloe showed normal growth, and the results indicate that penetration of the microneedle sensor did not affect normal growth of the plants.
