A fluorescent method for detection of tetracyclines (TCs) in milk was developed by using the NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) nanosensor synthesized via a one-pot hydrothermal method. The nanosensor had a crystalline nanoplates structure with rich groups of −NH 2 and −COOH. The −NH 2 /−COOH of NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) reacted with the −CO−/−OH of TCs to form a complex. The electron of −NH 2 /−COOH from the NH 2 -BDC ligand transferred to the −CO−/−OH of TCs. −NH 2 of the NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) interacted with the −CO−/−OH of TCs by hydrogen bonding. The quenching efficiency of the inner filter effect (IFE) was calculated to contribute 57−89%. The synergistic effect of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and IFE account for fluorescence quenching. TCs were quantitatively detected in milk samples with recoveries of 85.15−112.13%; the results were in great accordance with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (P > 0.05), confirming the NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) nanosensor has potential applicability for the detection of TCs in food matrix.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
