Abstract | Tetracyclines are a group of common antibiotics, but owing to their toxicity, most of them are only used in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. A DNA aptamer for tetracyclines has recently been reported. Upon aptamer binding, the fluorescence of tetracyclines was enhanced. This unique fluorescence enhancement was used to selectively detect the tetracyclines. The purpose of this study was to use graphene oxide (GO) to suppress the background fluorescence for enhanced detection. First, the adsorption of doxycycline on GO was studied. At pH 8.0, 82.7% of doxycycline was adsorbed by GO, and adding 2 µM aptamer desorbed 55.4% of doxycycline. With GO, the signal increase was comparable from pH 6 to 8, whereas without GO, the increase was significantly lower at pH 8. Under optimized condition, a detection limit of 1.6 nM doxycycline was achieved at pH 8.0 in the presence of GO, whereas without GO, the detection limit was 18.9 nM. This is an interesting example of the use of nanomaterials to enhance the performance of aptamer-based biosensors. |
