Determination of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid in Cereals by Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) procedure is developed for the determination of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in cereal grains using a Sentry-200 portable device. We synthesized tracers, that is, antigens labeled with f luorescein derivatives, based on two fluorescent compounds and two chlorophenoxyacids. The tracer synthesized from 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 4-aminomethylfluorescein is found to be optimal for the FPIA of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The limit of detection for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in f lour was 40 ng/g; the analytical range is from 80 to 1000 ng/g. The percentage of recovery was 85 ± 7% at the relative standard deviation (RSD) 2–10%.

Characterization of Hapten–Protein Conjugates: Antibody Generation and Immunoassay Development for Pesticides Monitoring
The generation of specific and sensitive antibodies against small molecules is greatly dependent upon the characteristics of the hapten-protein conjugates. In the present study, we report a new fluorescence-based method for the characterization of hapten-protein conjugates. The method is based on an effect promoted by hapten-protein conjugation density upon the fluorescence intensity of the int...
متن کاملQuantum dot/carrier-protein/haptens conjugate as a detection nanobioprobe for FRET-based immunoassay of small analytes with all-fiber microfluidic biosensing platform.
This study demonstrates the use of carrier-protein/haptens conjugate (e.g., BSA/2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2,4-D-BSA) for biological modification of quantum dots (QDs) for the detection of small analytes. Bioconjugated QDs, which are used as a detection nanoimmunoprobe, were prepared through conjugating carboxyl QDs with 2,4-D-BSA conjugate. Based on the principle of quantum dot-fluorescen...
متن کاملDetection Methods for Mycotoxins in Cereal Grains and Cereal Products
Analytical methods for mycotoxins in cereals and cereal-based products require three major steps, including extraction, clean-up (to eliminate interferences from the extract and concentrate the analyte), and detection/determination of the toxin (by using suitable analytical instruments/technologies). Clean-up is essential for the analysis of mycotoxins at trace levels, and involves the use of s...
متن کاملDirect hapten coated immunoassay format for the detection of atrazine and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicides.
A novel immunoassay format employing direct coating of small molecular hapten on microtiter plates is reported for the detection of atrazine and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D). In this assay, the polystyrene surface of microtiter plates was first treated with an acid to generate -NO2 groups on the surface. Acid treated plates were further treated with 3-aminoprpyltriethoxysilane (APTES) to f...

In this paper, a combination of a flow injection analysis (FIA) system with micellar-enhanced photochemically induced fluorescence (MEPIF) detection is presented as a powerful alternative for the rapid and sensitive analysis of chlorophenoxyacid herbicides. These compounds do not show native fluorescence but they can be photolysed into strongly fluorescence photoproducts after direct irradiatio...
