ABSTRACT
Tetrodotoxin (TTX), a lethal neurotoxin, poses a grave threat to human health. The available spectroscopic methods suffer from limitations such as complex procedures and inadequate on-site capabilities. In this study, we proposed a method using Fe3O4@Cu as a catalytic biosensor combined with SERS, colorimetry and image processing for TTX detection. Integrating the aptamer amplifies the specificity of the system and masks the catalytic activity of Fe3O4@Cu. The catalytic efficiency of Fe3O4@Cu in the H2O2-TMB reaction can quantify the concentration of TTX in the system. Consequently, oxidation of TMB (oxTMB) led to the generation and change of signals for SERS, colorimetry and image processing, enabling a three-channel quantitative detection of TTX. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limit of established SERS, colorimetry and image processing were 0.055, 2.127 and 0.243 ng/mL, respectively. This three-channel biosensor was applied to real samples, providing an accurate, stable and adaptable alternative for on-site TTX detection.
