Article Synopsis
  • A new test strip has been created to quickly detect the illegal additive ethyl anthranilate (EA) in wine, using a technique that combines photonic crystals and molecular imprinting.
  • The test strip changes color from green to yellow to red when EA binds to it, and a colorimetric card can help estimate EA content visually or with a spectrometer.
  • The method can detect EA concentrations from 0.1 mM to 10 mM, with a detection limit of 10 μM, and the test is reusable after reactivation.

A novel smart sensor for the rapid and label-free detection of benzocaine has been developed based on the combination of photonic crystal (PC) and molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) techniques. A molecularly imprinted photonic crystal (MIPC) hydrogel film was prepared a non-covalent, self-assembly approach with a PC mould. With a highly ordered inverse opal structure, the resulting benzocaine MIPC exhibited high sensitivity, smart specificity, quick response times and good regeneration abilities.
