Detection of antibiotics by combining fiber-optic array with microparticles coated with fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymers
- The widespread use of antibiotics in livestock farming leads to trace residues in food products and wastewater, potentially entailing antimicrobial resistance in food-borne pathogens. The determination of antibiotics in aqueous environments and foodstuff is thus of major concern. We have been developing optical sensors based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) due to the low production costs, stability, format adaptability and the possibility to imprint and thus their ability to recognize a wide variety of target analytes. As a fluorescently responding moiety in the polymer matrix a tailor-made fluorescent indicator cross-linker for direct transfer of the binding event into an optical signal was used. If such a cross-linker is integrated into a thin MIP-shell on microspheres such core/shell particles can be readily used in advanced multiplexing sensory fiber-optic microarrays. Here, we propose such a fiber-optic microarray based on fluorescent MIP microspheres for antibiotics.The widespread use of antibiotics in livestock farming leads to trace residues in food products and wastewater, potentially entailing antimicrobial resistance in food-borne pathogens.

Here, we propose such a fiber-optic microarray based on fluorescent MIP microspheres for antibiotics. The binding behavior and the selectivity of a microarray using these silica core/MIP shell beads were examined and compared with a non-imprinted polymer (NIP) control, employing the target molecules and other structurally closely related antibiotics.…
