Food chemistry 2022 Aug 30Ampicillin (AMP) is commonly used to treat diseases caused by bacterial infections as a veterinary drug. However, the abuse of AMP can lead to residues in food and ultimately cause harm to humans. Thus, it is significant to construct a reliable system for AMP detection. Here, we developed an inner filter effect system based on a solid-phase capture probe and the catalysis of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) for AMP determination in food. In the presence of AMP, PDMS captured AMP then combined with aptamer-functionalized PtNPs, which catalyzed the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, resulting in upconversion fluorescence quenching. The results showed the fluorescence intensity of upconversion nanoparticles was related to AMP concentration (0.5-100 ng·mL-1) with an LOD of 0.32 ng·mL-1, which made quantification of AMP possible. The method also achieved a satisfactory recovery rate (96.89-112.92%) and can be used for AMP detection in food samples with selectivity and sensitivity. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
