The invention provides synthesis of a nickel-ion artificial antigen chelant and preparation of a nickel monoclonal antibody. A raw material 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine is subjected to a series of reaction, and then is chemically synthesized into 6-bromine acetamide-2,3-(N,N,N',N'-tetraacethyl)dimethylamino-quinoxaline, BATDQ for short, which is taken as a difunctional chelant for synthesizing a nickel artificial antigen, and tetraacethyl and bromine acetamide structures of the BATDQ are chelated with nickel ions and carrier protein to obtain the artificial antigen; and then, the monoclonal antibody corresponding to nickel is obtained by immunizing BALB/c mice by the artificial antigen and applying technology such as cell fusion, cell clone and the like, and is used for detecting the residue of nickel in environment and food. The monoclonal antibody has the characteristics of quickness, sensitivity, low cost, and particular suitability for mass field quick detection; a preparation method for the nickel artificial antigen is simple, and has low cost; and the preparation technology for the monoclonal antibody is relative mature, and facilitates mass production, and the detection technology is simple, and is easy to promote.
