Abstract
Development of accurate and efficient TCs residue analysis methods is of great significance for the protection of environment, food safety and public health. Herein, a dual-responsive ratiometric fluorescence sensor being capable of simple and sensitive detection of tetracycline (TC) was presented, which was constructed by immobilizing europium ions (Eu3+) onto the mercaptopropionic acid stabilized copper nanoclusters (MPA-Cu NCs). In the presence of TC, the red fluorescence of Eu3+ was enhanced through antenna effect (AE), while the green fluorescence of MPA-Cu NCs was quenched through internal filter effect (IFE), leading to an obvious fluorescence color evolution from green to red for the probe solution. In addition to successful design of a smartphone-assisted colorimetric analysis platform for portable detection, a logic gate device capable of intelligently monitoring TC concentration is also designed.
