Abstract

Herein, a rapid, facile, and colourimetric sensor for the detection of cyromazine in raw milk is reported using an aptamer based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). A sequence-specific aptamer for cyromazine called Tcyr1 is designed to absorb on the surface of AuNPs and electrostatically interacts with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA), which prevents AuNPs from aggregating. It can also self-assemble to form a G-quadruplex-CYR complex with cyromazine. Because of its specificity and stability, the introduction of cyromazine in raw milk would influence the protection thus the following cationic polymer could aggregate AuNPs and cause a remarkable change in colour. According to this, the presence of cyromazine can be determined by the naked eye and means of absorbance. This sensor is selective for the detection of cyromazine in raw milk and has a limit of detection of 200 ppb by the naked eye and of 5.8 ppb by spectrophotometer, and has a detection range from 0.1 to 1 ppm.
