▎ 摘 要
The authors describe a sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based aptasensor for the detection of the food pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Nanostructures consisting of Fe3O4@ Au particles wrapped with graphene oxide (GO) were used both as SERS substrates and separation tools. A first aptamer (apt 1) was immobilized on the Fe3O4@ Au/GOnanostructures to act as a capture probe via the affinity binding of aptamer and V. parahaemolyticus. A second aptamer (apt-2) was modified with the Raman reporter molecule TAMRA to act as a SERS sensing probes that binds to the target the same way as the Fe3O4@ Au/GO-apt 1. The sandwich formed between Fe3O4@ Au/GO-apt 1/V. parahaemolyticus and apt 2-TAMRA can be separated with the aid of a magnet. The concentration of V. parahaemolyticus can be quantified by measurement of the SERS intensity of TAMRA. Under optimal conditions, the signal is linearly related to the V. parahaemolyticus concentration in the range between 1.4 x 10(2) to 1.4 x 10(6) cfu.mL(-1), with a detection limit of 14 cfu.mL(-1). Recoveries ranging from 98.5% to 105% are found when analyzing spiked salmon samples. In our perception, the assay described here is a useful tool for quantitation of V. parahaemolyticus in real samples.
