Summary: By using L-cysteine modified carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and CdTe quantum dots (CdTe QDs) as fluorescence signals, a novel dual-channel and dual-signal microfluidic paper chip was developed for portable and rapid analysis of difenoconazole and mancozeb. The chip achieved simultaneous detection of the two pesticides in a mixed solution with great stability and fluorescence property. This work provides a useful exploration for the development of new universal rapid detection technologies and theories and has great significance for the rapid detection of pesticide residues in export products.
