RESUMO
Florfenicol (FF), used popularly in prevention and treatment of virus infections in livestock and poultry, has widely been found in eggs and harmful to human health. In this work, a sensitive and quantitative on-site detecting solution, monoclonal antibody-based carboxylated fluorescent microsphere immunochromatographic test strip assay (FM-ICTS), is design and applied for FF detection. The proposed method can sensitively detect FF in low detection limit of 0.030 ng/g and quantitatively measure its concentration from 0.1 ng/mL to 8.1 ng/mL (R2 = 0.9991) with high repeatability (CV<8.0 %). In addition, the established FM-ICTS method exhibited high measurement accuracy in FF samples as compared with HPLC-MS analysis and demonstrated satisfied recoveries (99.1-101.3 %). More importantly, the quantitative FF test strip demonstrate ultra-high stability, which presents approximately equivalent detection ability to the fresh one after stored at 4 °C for more than one year or stored at 37 °C for 60 days. Therefore, the proposed method is a promising solution for rapidly and sensitively quantitative determination of FF in eggs.
