    Abstract:
    Implementation of cost-effective, reliable, and efficient technologies for the sensitive, rapid, and accurate detection of pesticide residues in agriproducts presents a promising solution to the escalating food safety concerns. Herein, a high-performance surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor based on nanotag (AuNS@4-MBN@Ag-aptamer) was introduced for ultrasensitive, reliable, and interference-free detection of chlorpyrifos (CPF). This aptasensor featured star-shaped bimetallic nanotag as the principal Raman signal enhancement material and 4-mercaptobenzonitrile (4-MBN) as "biological-silent"-window reporter (at 2228 cm-1). Moreover, cDNA-linked Fe3O4@AuNPs (FA-cDNA) served as magnetic substrates to simplify the separation process of FA-cDNA-combined nanotags. In the aptasensor, the formation of FA-cDNA-aptamer-AuNS@4-MBN@Ag hybrids was hindered by CPF, and its Raman intensity decreased with increasing CPF concentration. Under optimal SERS conditions, the aptasensor exhibited a broad linear detection range from 2.5 × 102 to 5.0 × 104 pg⋅mL-1, with an impressively low limit of detection of 220.35 pg⋅mL-1 (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). The selectivity and reproducibility assessments highlighted its exceptional sensitivity and interference-free capabilities. Furthermore, practical applications on wheat and apples demonstrated satisfactory spiked recovery rates, ranging from 89.61% to 107.33% (relative standard deviation ≤ 14.55%). Consequently, the high-performance "biological-silent"-window nanotag-based aptasensor is a promising tool for monitoring trace CPF in complex matrices.
