    Abstract:
    The widespread exposure of bisphenol A (BPA) presents a significant risk to human health. A rapid, ultra-sensitive and label-free colorimetric aptasensor using high affinity truncated aptamers was developed for BPA detection. Truncated 38-mer and 12-mer aptamers specific for BPA were obtained through rationally truncation from 63-mer BPA aptamer. The dissociation constants (Kd) of 38-mer and 12-mer aptamers were determined to be 13.17 nM and 27.05 nM. Then, truncated aptamers were used in label-free colorimetric detection assays based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The limit of detections of aptasensors using 38-mer and 12-mer aptamers were 7.60 pM and 14.41 pM, which were 265-fold and 140-fold lower than that of the aptasensor using 63-mer aptamer, respectively. The recovery rates in milk, orange juice and mineralized water samples were 93.88% to 107.30%. Therefore, the developed BPA colorimetric aptasensor using truncated aptamers has great application prospects in food safety control and environmental monitoring.
