- A method based on MCE and CHA amplification was developed for multiplex antibiotics detection.
- The probes can transduce targets to DNA signals, which can be amplified by CHA then detected by MCE.
- The assay exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity for target molecules.
- The assay was successfully employed for detection of kana and OTC in milk.
Novel label-free and multiplex aptasensors have been developed for simultaneous detection of several antibiotics based on a microchip electrophoresis (MCE) platform and target catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) for signal amplification. Kanamycin (Kana) and oxytetracycline (OTC) were employed as models for testing the system. These aptasensors contained six DNA strands termed as Kana aptamer-catalysis strand (Kana apt-C), Kana inhibit strand (Kana inh), OTC aptamer-catalysis strand (OTC apt-C), OTC inhibit strand (OTC inh), hairpin structures H1 and H2 which were partially complementary. Upon the addition of Kana or OTC, the binding event of aptamer and target triggered the self-assembly between H1 and H2, resulting in the formation of many H1-H2 complexes. They could show strong signals which represented the concentration of Kana or OTC respectively in the MCE system. With the help of the well-designed and high-quality CHA amplification, the assay could yield 300-fold amplified signal comparing that from non-amplified system. Under optimal conditions, this assay exhibited a linear correlation in the ranges from 0.001 ng mLâ1 to 10 ng mLâ1, with the detection limits of 0.7 pg mLâ1 and 0.9 pg mLâ1 (S/N=3) toward Kana and OTC, respectively. The platform has the following advantages: firstly, the aptamer probes can be fabricated easily without labeling signal tags for MCE detection; Secondly, the targets can just react with probes and produce the amplified signal in one-pot. Finally, the targets can be simultaneously detected within 10 min in different channels, thus high-throughput measurement can be achieved. Based on this work, it is estimated that this detection platform will be universally served as a simple, sensitive and portable platform for antibiotic contaminants detection in biological and environmental samples.
