Abstract
A novel aptamer@AuNPs@UiO-66-NH2 electrospun nanofibrous coating fiber for specific recognition of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) was proposed by using electrospinning, metal-organic frameworks (MOF) seed growth and AuNPs bridging aptamer strategies. Characterization of morphology, structure and stability of the obtained affinity nanofibrous coating fiber were investigated. High loading of MOFs and aptamers on the nanofibrous fiber were achieved and successfully applied for accurate identification of MC-LR by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with LC-MS. Highly specific recognition of MC-LR with little interference of analogs was achieved with extremely low LOD (0.004 ng/mL), good precision (CV% < 11.0%) and low relative error (RE% = −1.5% to −10.0%), which was rather better than that of the traditional SPME or SPE protocols. Satisfactory recoveries of MC-LR were obtained in the range of 92.0–96.8% (n = 3) in fortified tap water, raw pond water and river water samples. This work revealed an attractive alternative access to specific recognition and super-sensitive analysis of MC-LR in water.
