Abstract:
Developing high-performance lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA) for portable and rapid profiling equipment is a key to meet the field-testing of hazardous pollutants. Tetrabromobisphenol A bis (2-hydroxyethyl) ether (TBBPA-BHEE) as an emerging hazardous contaminant poses potential risks to human health, yet there is no rapid, specific or sensitive LFIA for monitoring purpose. Herein, a novel dual-mode LFIA for field testing TBBPA-BHEE was pioneered with colorimetric/diffuse reflection using gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) and monoclonal antibody (AuNFs@mAb). Initially, a functional monoclonal antibody (mAb) was prepared and purified. The mAb was subsequently labeled on AuNFs to create the AuNFs@mAb probe, which could be captured by TBBPA-BHEE molecule in 10 min and achieved colorimetric/diffuse reflectance spectroscopy using naked eyes or portable immunochromato-reader, respectively. The preparation of test strips was systematically studied and the LFIA for qualitative and quantitative analysis of TBBPA-BHEE were evaluated. The optimized LFIA achieved a visual limit of detection (LOD) of 5.0 ng/mL and a detection LOD of 0.25 ng/mL by portable immunochromato-reader. It showed a high specificity for TBBPA-BHEE, good recovery yields of 112.41–120.10 % with the relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 8.0 %, and excellent long-term stability. Moreover, the results of the resultant LFIA were highly consistent with that of HPLC method, with a correlation coefficient of 0.995. Therefore, this study highlights the promising application in developing an economical and selective LFIA to field profiling of TBBPA-BHEE. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
