The abuse of sulfameter (SME) in animal husbandry can cause drug resistance and toxic or allergic reactions in humans. Therefore, it is very important to establish a simple, inexpensive, and efficient method for detecting SME in food. In this work, we propose a single fluorescent aptamer/graphene oxide (GO)-based biosensor to detect SME residues in milk. Aptamers that specifically bind to SME were screened using capture-SELEX and a ssDNA library immobilized on magnetic beads. The 68 active candidate aptamers were chemically synthesized for specificity and affinity characterization. Among the aptamers, the aptamer sulf-1 revealed the highest affinity (K-d = 77 +/- 15 nM) to SME and was selected to construct a GO-based fluorescent biosensor for real milk sample detection. Under optimal conditions, the single fluorescent aptasensor had a wide linear range (R-2 was 0.997) from 7 to 336 ng/ml and a low detection limit of 3.35 ng/ml that was calculated with a 3SD/slope. The single fluorescent method was also validated using SME-fortified milk samples, showing average recoveries ranging from 99.01% to 104.60% with a relative standard deviation of less than 3.88%. These results demonstrate that this novel aptamer sensor provides an opportunity for sensitive, convenient, and accurate detection of SME residues in milk.
