Abstract
This paper presents a sensitive indirect fluorescent sensing mechanism (IFSM) for detecting non-fluorescent microcystin (MC-RR), using molecular imprinting technology and charge transfer effects. A molecular imprinted thin film is immobilized on zinc ferrite nanoparticles, utilizing arginine as a dummy template. Implemented on a paper-based microfluidic chip, this platform enables quantitative MC-RR assay at trace levels (LOD 0.43 µg/L, 20 min analysis time) in real water samples without pretreatment. The IFSM is adaptable to various non-fluorescent species.
