Sensitive dual-signal detection and effective removal of tetracycline antibiotics in honey based on a hollow triple-metal organic framework nanozymes.

In this work, a colorimetric/fluorescent dual-signal mode sensor is proposed for the sensitive, selective and accurate detection and removal of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs). A triple-metal MOF of NiCoFe is successfully synthesized and controllable adjusted the shape of the hollow structure for the first time, and then modified with TCs aptamer. The as-prepared triple-atom MOF (apt-NiCoFe-MOF-74) exhibits well-defined hollow morphology, high crystallinity, and high surface areas endow their alluring adsorption and removal performances for TCs. More attractively, this triple-metal MOF show a good peroxidase-like activity and strong fluorescence property at 540 nm of apt-NiCoFe-MOF-74 when excitation wavelength was 370 nm. Inspire by this, a dual-signal output biosensor is constructed and the linear absorbance response is well correlated with wide range and low LOD for TCs. The biosensor provided an universal method with satisfactory sensitivity and accuracy for TCs analysis in real food samples.
