Abstract

In this test, the eggshell membrane (ESM) is selected as the support membrane for the biocompatibility and anchors CNTs on the surface to increase the mechanical properties. Then Ag NPs are decorated on CNTs-ESM substrate as SERS substrate by twice in-situ reduction. Finally, a layer of imprinted polymers is coated on the surface of the substrate to synthesize the imprinted membrane for selective detection of spiramycin. It is exhibited from the characteristic results that the CNTs significantly increase the mechanical properties and the detection sensitivity, simultaneously. When the concentration of SP changes between 10-6 ∼ 10-11 M, there is a linear relationship between SERS intensity and SP concentration. The detection limit is 10-11 M, and the correlation coefficient R2 is 0.9864. The SERS imprinted membrane can be applied into the detection of antibiotics in practical sample, which broadens the research field of antibiotics detection.
