Abstract

In this study, yolk-shell Fe3O4-based nanomaterials designing of fluorescent aptasensor using a new type of biomimetic network-constitutional dynamic networks (CDNs) amplification strategy was developed for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection. By ingeniously designing the base sequences A, a, B, b, and coupling with endonuclease (BbvCI), a constitutes of CDNs is formed as a fluorescence intensity amplifier. With such design, the as- prepared aptasensor exhibits good sensitivity from 50 fg·mL-1-50 ng·mL-1 with a detection limit of 35.94 fg·mL-1. Moreover, the CDNs can achieve 1000-fold amplification in terms of linear range and detection limit. The results confirmed that this new type of biomimetic network amplification strategy can supply-one efficient approach to improve signal amplification. Furthermore, the prepared aptamer sensor was tested for spiked recovery in peanut samples, and the recoveries ranged from 83.79 to 95.06 %, which has confirmed its practical application value in the field of food safety.
