Enzyme- and label-free electrochemical aptasensor for kanamycin detection based on double stir bar-assisted toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction for dual-signal amplification.

It is critically important to detect antibiotic residues for monitoring food safety. In this study, an enzyme- and label-free electrochemical aptasensor for antibiotics, with kanamycin (Kana) as a typical analyte, was developed based on a double stir bar-assisted toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (dSB-TMSDR) for dual-signal amplification. First, we modified two gold electrodes (E-1 and E-2) with different DNA probes (S1/S2 hybrid probe in E-1 and DNA fuel strand S3 in E-2). In the presence of Kana, an S1/S2 probe can be disassembled from E-1 to form an S2/Kana complex in supernatant. The S2/Kana could react with S3 on E-2 to form S2/S3 hybrid and release Kana through TMSDR. After then, the target recycling was triggered. Subsequently, the formed S2/S3 hybrid can also trigger a hybridization chain reaction (HCR). Consequently, the dual-signal amplification strategy was established, which resulted in many long dsDNA chains on E-2. The chains can associate with methylene blue (MB) as redox probes to produce a current response for the quantification of Kana. The assay exhibited high sensitivity and specificity with a detection limit at 16 fM Kana due to the dual-signal amplification. The double stir bars system can both increase phase separation and prevent leakage of DNA fuel to reduce background interference. Moreover, it allows flexible sequence design of the TMSDR probes. The assay was successfully employed to detect Kana residues in food and showed potential application value in food safety detection.
