Novel immunochromatographic strip assay based on up-conversion nanoparticles for sensitive detection of imidacloprid in agricultural and environmental samples.
2021
Neonicotinoid insecticides are widely used in agriculture for pest control, but the pesticide residues in environmental and agricultural products were a big threat to the health of non-target organisms. In this study, a new immunochromatographic strip test was established for the rapid detection of imidacloprid residue, a neonicotinoid insecticide, based on up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) coupled with the monoclonal antibody against imidacloprid. Under optimal conditions, the half inhibitory concentration (IC50), detection limit, and the linear range of this strip were 8.37 ng/mL, 0.45 ng/mL, and 0.97-250 ng/mL. The strip test could be completed in 30 min. The average recoveries of imidacloprid spiked in water, Chinese cabbages, cucumber, honey, and tea samples were 70.1~101.8%, with coefficient of variations less than 18.9%. The strip was used to test real samples and verified by UPLC-MS/MS method with the good agreement (R2 was 0.9825), indicating this novel strip immunoassay is accurate and reliable.
