Abstract

The abuse of doxycycline (DC) can lead to residues in animals and water environments, which severely threaten human health; however, currently accepted detection methods are generally complicated and cannot be used for real-time detection. Therefore, developing a method for rapid real-time detection of DC microcontent residues is highly important. Herein, based on the Mach-Zehnder interference, we propose a simple tapered droplet structure fiber sensor with a high detection sensitivity. By modifying the sensing region with a molecularly imprinted polymer film of DC, this sensor realizes the specific detection of DC and has a detection sensitivity of 58.81 pm/ppm for DC in a large concentration range of 0-300 ppm. This sensor can be used to detect DC microcontent in aqueous solutions in real time.
