摘要
A simple and novel method was developed to determine methylene blue（MB） by resonance light scattering（RLS） using silica nanoparticles（SiO2NPs） as the probe.It was found that MB could enhance the RLS intensity of SiO2NPs.Moreover,the increase in RLS intensity was linear with the concentration of MB over the range of 0.01-3.0 μg mL^-1.The limit of detection（LOD） was as low as 4.36 ng mL^-1（3σ） and the relative standard deviation（RSD） was 2.4%（n=6）.Under the optimum experimental conditions,this proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of MB in aquaculture samples with recoveries between 96.3% and 107%.Possible mechanisms for the RLS enhancement of SiO2NPs in the presence of MB were also discussed.
