Double detection of mycotoxins based on aptamer induced Fe3O4@TiO2@Ag Core − Shell nanoparticles “turn on” fluorescence resonance energy transfer

Multiple and sensitive mycotoxin detection is an essential early-warning mechanism for safeguarding human health, and preserving the environment. We synthesized a turn-on Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) aptamer sensor based on the unique fluorescence quenching and substrate recognition characteristics of Ag NTs (energy receptors) and aptamer modified Fe
