Abstract

An immunochromatographic lateral flow strip test using the competitive format was developed for the determination of chlorothalonil (CTN) residues in cucumber. The limit of detection was less than 100 ng/mL by visual assessment and was found to be 91.78 ± 0.17 ng/mL for quantitative detection using a test strip reader. The recoveries of test samples were from 89.26% to 102.02% and the coefficient of variation (%) was less than 4.75%. Parallel analysis of cucumber samples with CTN showed comparable results from the strip test and high performance liquid chromatography. The strip test requires 5–8 min to complete and provides a very useful screening method for the quantitative and qualitative detection of CTN residues in cucumber.
