Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has been employed as a rapid analysis technology for food security inspection recently. Nowadays, it is still a great challenge to rapidly quantify multiple trace antibiotics potentially abused in aquaculture industry. In this work, a magnetic Ti3C2Tx/Fe3O4/Ag substrate was prepared for the development of a reliable rapid SERS quantification method for multiple trace sulfonamides in aquatic products. This magnetic substrate had good uniformity, reproducibility, stability and SERS activity. Moreover, this substrate could integrate the magnetic separation-enrichment and matrix clean-up without cross contamination, which endowed it with good selectivity and anti-interference capability during real sample analysis. The electromagnetic enhancement and chemical enhancement mechanism of this magnetic substrate were studied in detail to reveal its good separation-enrichment performance and SERS activity. Finally, a rapid SERS quantification method was established and practically applied for trace phthalic sulfathiazole (PST) and silver sulfadiazine (SSD) in aquatic products by using Ti3C2Tx/Fe3O4/Ag magnetic substrates. Trace PST and SSD could be actually detected and quantified as 55.9 µg/kg and 64.0 µg/kg in aquatic products, respectively. Good recoveries of 83.9%–116% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.5%–3.2% for PST and 80.2%–102% with RSDs of 1.3%–5.8% for SSD were obtained. This work proposed an efficient and reliable method for rapid quantification of trace multiple sulfonamides in complex aquatic samples during food security inspection.
