Article Description

It is difficult to detect tetracycline (TC) in honey sample by using carbon dots (CDs) because the autofluorescence of the matrix of honey sample overlaps with the fluorescence emission spectrum of the large majority of CDs. Herein, single-hole hollow molecularly imprinted polymers embedded carbon dots (HMIP@CD) was prepared via microwave-assisted method. TC in diluted honey sample was adsorbed by the HMIP@CD within 3 min, after which the HMIP@CD absorbed with TC was separated by centrifugation from honey sample and redispersed into phosphate buffer solution. The autofluorescence of honey that interferes with the fluorescence signal of HMIP@CD was avoided. The method exhibited an excellent linearity within 10–200 μg L −1 and a low detection limit of 3.1 μg L −1. At three spiking levels of TC, the recoveries ranged from 93% to 105% with precisions below 1.6%. This method provides an effective strategy for detecting analyte in complex matrix with autofluorescence interference.
