In this study, a DNA hydrogel was used as a biosensor substrate, combined with an AFB1 aptamer and an enzyme-linked signal amplification strategy, to construct a responsive sensor for on-site detection of AFB1. The sensor exhibited outstanding sensitivity and selectivity, and the feasibility and reliability were verified in real samples.
For the on-site detection of aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)), a DNA hydrogel was prepared as a biosensor substrate, while an AFB1 aptamer was used as the recognition element. An AFB(1)-responsive aptamer-cross-linked hydrogel sensor was constructed using an enzyme-linked signal amplification strategy; AFB(1) binds competitively to the aptamer, causing the hydrogel to undergo cleavage and release horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The addition of exonuclease I (ExoI) to the hydrogel causes the release of AFB1 from the aptamer, promoting additional hydrogel cleavage to release more HRP, ultimately catalysing the reaction between 3,3 ',5,5 '-tetramethylbenzidine and H2O2. The hydrogel sensor exhibited an outstanding sensitivity (limit of detection, 4.93 nM; dynamic range, 0-500 nM), and its selectivity towards seven other mycotoxins was confirmed. The feasibility and reliability were verified by measuring the AFB1 levels in peanut oil (recoveries, 89.59-95.66 %; relative standard deviation, <7%); the obtained results were comparable to those obtained by UPLC-HRMS.
