Abstract
In the study, a hapten was designed to preserve the molecular structure of tolfenpyrad while introducing a carboxyl group and was coupled with a carrier protein to synthesize an immunogen and coating antigen. A monoclonal antibody was fabricated against tolfenpyrad and its performance was assessed by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Finally, we developed a colloidal gold nanoparticle immunochromatographic test strip (CGN-ICTS) for the detection of tolfenpyrad in kale, Chinese cabbage, and eggplant samples. The results shows that CGN-ICTS was sensitive, with calculated detection limits of 0.49 ng/g for kale and Chinese cabbage and 0.99 ng/g for eggplant. Subsequently, CGN-ICTS and LC-MS were used to analyze the tolfenpyrad-spiked samples. The recovery rate of the CGN-ICTS for kale samples was 97.1–103.0%, for Chinese cabbage samples was 93.7–103.4%, and for eggplant samples was 92.7–105.7%. Recovery rates were similar between CGN-ICTS and LC-MS. Therefore, CGN-ICTS can be used to quickly screen tolfenpyrad residues in foods.
