- Abstract
- A multi-target aptamer assay was developed as a phthalic acid ester (PAE) panel to screen selected PAEs in plastic leachate samples. The panel comprises 13 PAEs (PAE-13), namely dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, di-n-butyl phthalate, di-n-hexyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, diisononyl phthalate, diisodecyl phthalate, mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, diphenyl phthalate, butyl benzyl phthalate, dicyclohexyl phthalate, and phthalic acid. Herein, we proposed an aptamer assay using a newly truncated aptamer (20-mer) and the 7-aminoactinomycin D fluorophore, which selectively binds to guanine in single-stranded DNA, resulting in increased fluorescence intensity. The assay is highly selective for PAE-13 clusters. The selectivity of the assay was evaluated using 13 different PAEs and mixtures depending on the side chain structure. The quantitative detection of PAEs was demonstrated by adopting mixed PAE-13 simulants and achieved a limit of detection of ∼1.4 pg/mL. The repeatability and reproducibility of the assay were also evaluated by presenting acceptable coefficients of variation (%CV less than 10% and 15%, respectively). The performance of the assay was demonstrated by analyzing the plastic leachate samples, and the positive correlation (correlation coefficient, r = 0.985) was confirmed by comparing them with the total sum of individual PAE peak areas obtained by gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
