Development of a High-Performance Fluorescent Probe for Food Safety: N,Si-CDs for Detecting Tetracycline and Chloramphenicol

Key Points

• The fluorescent probe demonstrates high sensitivity and selectivity for tetracycline and chloramphenicol.
• Testing revealed detection limits of 0.1 µg/mL for tetracycline and 0.5 µg/mL for chloramphenicol.
• Analysis utilized n,sicds to create a novel fluorescent sensing mechanism in food matrices.
• The findings could lead to enhanced food safety protocols against antibiotic contaminants.
