RESUMEN
To improve the sensitivity for electro-chemiluminescent (ECL) detection of chloramphenicol (CAP), a common broad-spectrum antibiotic, boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs) were prepared with excellent photoelectric property and low toxicity. After its structure and electrochemical property were investigated in detail, it was noted that the ECL signal of Ru(Phen)32+ could be strengthened by the proposed BNQDs, which was further activated by ten's times in the presence of CAP. Under the optimized conditions, there was an excellent linear relationship between â³ECL and lgcCAP in a wide linear range from 1.0×10-10 to 1.0×10-6 mol/L CAP. The detection limit was super-low to be 3.3×10-11 mol/L (S/N=3). When applied for CAP detection in real pharmaceutical and food samples, the recoveries were between 97.8 and 105.7 % with R.S.D. less than 3.3%. A possible CAP-activated ECL mechanism of BNQDs-Ru(phen)32+ was also proposed. This work will offer a great potential for efficient monitoring of CAP pollution and clinical diagnosing of CAP-related diseases in future.

Under the optimized conditions, there was an excellent linear relationship between ΔECL and lgcCAPin a wide linear range from 1.0 × 10-10to 1.0 × 10-6mol l-1CAP. The detection limit was super-low to be 3.3 × 10-11mol l-1(S/N = 3). When applied for CAP detection in real pharmaceutical and food samples, the recoveries were between 97.8% and 105.7% with R.S.D. less than 3.3%.
