Abstract
A rapid indirect competitive fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay (cFLISA) based on quantum dots (QDs) as the fluorescent marker has been developed for the detection of Enrofloxacin (ENR) in chicken muscle tissue. The end-point fluorescent detection system was carried out using QDs conjugated with goat anti-mouse secondary antibody. The cFLISA method allowed for ENR determination in a liner working range of 1–100 ng mL −1 with the 50% inhibition value (IC 50) of 8.3 ng mL −1 and the limit of detection (LOD) of 2.5 ng mL −1. The recoveries for chicken muscle samples spiked with ENR at levels of 50–200 μg kg −1 ranged from 81% to 94% with coefficients of variation (CV) of 10–13%. In real chicken tissue sample analysis, the results of cFLISA were similar to those obtained from an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) to a high performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC), which indicated that cFLISA is suitable as screening method for the monitoring of veterinary drug residues.
