Functionalized Fluorescein for Rapid and Colorimetric Assay of Pirimicarb via Halogen and Hydrogen Bonding Synergistic Effect
Luyue Jin, Gang Qu, Yang Yang, Shilei Liu
TL;DR
A new rapid, enzyme-free method for detecting the insecticide pirimicarb uses a functionalized dye that changes color when it interacts with the chemical.
Contribution
A novel enzyme-free detection method for pirimicarb using halogen and hydrogen bonding synergistic effects.
Findings
The method achieves a detection limit of 0.0321 mg·L−1 in aqueous solution within 60 seconds.
The method successfully detects pirimicarb in cucumber and tomato peel samples with detection limits of 0.0536 and 0.0243 mg·L−1, respectively.
The detection relies solely on the synergistic interaction between the dye and pirimicarb, without requiring enzymes.
Abstract
Pirimicarb is a carbamate insecticide, widely used due to its specific control effect on aphid populations. However, the European Food Safety Authority conducted a risk assessment and proposed regulatory endpoints for it in October 2024. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop rapid, sensitive, and convenient rapid detection technologies for pirimicarb. Thus, this study proposes an enzyme-free rapid detection method: using 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-2′,4′,5′,7′-tetraiodofluorescein (RB2) as a detection probe, since the synergistic effect of halogen and hydrogen bonding between RB2 and pirimicarb (PIB) in acidic aqueous solution induces charge transfer and leads to a distinct color change in RB2, thereby enabling the rapid detection of PIB. This method has good selectivity, and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0321 mg·L−1 in aqueous solution is achieved with a visual detection time of less…
