Abstract: An approach is reported based on the combination of aptamer and metal organic frameworks (MOF) to prepare a molecularly imprinted sensor that recognizes viruses with high specificity and sensitivity. Using MIL-101-NH2 as a polymer carrier, viral aptamers were introduced into the carrier surface through an amide reaction to specifically identify the target, and surface imprinting is carried out through tetraethyl silicate (TEOS) self-polymerization. The MIL-101-NH2 is also used as the reference fluorescence signal (λex/λem = 290/460 nm) and rhodamine B as the change signal (λex/λem = 550/570 nm). The ratiometric fluorescence detection and dual recognition strategy not only reduce environmental interference but also greatly improve the sensor's anti-interference ability, the obtained imprinting factor was 5.72, and the detection limit as low as 1.8 pmol L-1. Therefore, the molecular imprinting sensor designed realizes the specific and highly sensitive identification of viruses, which provides theoretical support for the application of molecular imprinting technology in clinical diagnosis of viruses
