Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of food safety monitoring and immunoassay detection technology, and more specifically, to a time-resolved fluorescent probe, immunochromatographic test strip, detection method, and application for the rapid detection of ethoxyquinoline. Background Technology
[0002] Ethoxyquin (EQ) is an antioxidant commonly used in feed and aquatic product preservation, but it carries certain toxicological risks, and strict limits are set for its residues in food and feed in various countries. Current detection methods for ethoxyquin mainly rely on large-scale instruments such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), which offer high sensitivity but involve complex sample pretreatment, high detection costs, and are not suitable for rapid on-site screening. Time-resolved fluorescent microspheres encapsulate a large number of lanthanide-containing fluorescent complexes within polystyrene microspheres, offering advantages such as large Stokes shift, long fluorescence lifetime, and low background interference. These methods can significantly improve the sensitivity of immunoassays and are suitable for integration with immunochromatography for rapid on-site detection. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a novel ethoxyquin immunochromatographic detection system based on time-resolved fluorescent microspheres to address the issue of insufficient sensitivity.

The sample pad overlaps with one end of the nitrocellulose membrane, and the absorbent pad overlaps with the other end of the nitrocellulose membrane. EQ-Ag is obtained by coupling the ethoxyquinoline hapten with a carrier protein, wherein the carrier protein is bovine serum albumin or ovalbumin.

Step T2, Preparation of the reaction membrane Nitrocellulose membrane (2) was laid flat on the coating area of the base plate (6).

Use an automatic strip cutter to cut the test strips into strips 2–4 mm wide, place them in a sealed bag with desiccant, and store them at room temperature away from light.
[0009] Furthermore, the T / C line diluent was PBS + 5% methanol, the stock solution concentration of EQ-Ag was 4.8 mg / mL, and it was diluted 15 times with the T / C line diluent during coating; the EQ-Ag diluent was sprayed at a speed of 1 μL / cm using an XYZ three-dimensional cross-cutting gold sprayer to form the T line; the width of the test strip was 3 mm.

[0014] This invention, employing the above technical solutions, offers the following advantages compared to existing technologies: Significantly improved sensitivity: Time-resolved fluorescent microspheres possess a high signal-to-noise ratio. The detection sensitivity of the ethoxyquinoline time-resolved fluorescent immunochromatographic test strip established in this invention is 5 μg / kg, approximately twice that of colloidal gold test strips. Simple labeling method: The secondary fluorescent probe is indirectly coupled to EQ-mAb, eliminating the need for chemical modification of the antibody or covalent coupling with the microspheres. This simplifies operation and facilitates large-scale preparation.

[0025] Application of a time-resolved fluorescent probe and a time-resolved fluorescent immunochromatographic test strip in the rapid qualitative or semi-quantitative detection of ethoxyquinoline residues in food.
[0026] The following is combined Figures 1 to 2 The present invention provides a detailed description of the time-resolved fluorescent probe, immunochromatographic test strip, detection method, and application for the rapid detection of ethoxyquinoline.
[0027] Example 1 Preparation and characterization of the ethoxyquinoline time-resolved fluorescent probe Eu-EQ-mAb: Europium time-resolved fluorescent microspheres with a particle size of 200 nm were used as a secondary fluorescent probe and diluted with the manufacturer's provided microsphere diluent. The time-resolved fluorescent microspheres appear milky white under sunlight and exhibit red fluorescence under 365 nm ultraviolet light, with a maximum emission wavelength of approximately 617 nm and a relatively narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) emission spectrum.
[0028] The ethoxyquinoline monoclonal antibody EQ-mAb is a mouse-derived monoclonal antibody prepared by conventional methods in the field, and it has specific recognition ability for EQ-Ag.
[0029] The steps for preparing the ethoxyquinoline time-resolved fluorescent probe are as follows: (1) Take 20 μL of secondary fluorescent probe and dilute it to 100 μL with microsphere diluent; (2) Add different volumes of 0.01 mg / mL EQ-mAb (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 μL) to the above solution, mix and react at room temperature for 5 min to obtain Eu-EQ-mAb with different antibody labeling amounts; Example 2 Preparation of ethoxyquinoline time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatographic test strips (1) Preparation of T / C line coating solution Dilute the EQ-Ag stock solution (4.8 mg / mL) with T / C line diluent (PBS + 5% methanol) 10, 15, 30, and 45 times respectively for later use; dilute the goat anti-mouse IgG antibody with the same diluent to the appropriate concentration.
[0030] (2) Preparation of reaction membrane Nitrocellulose membrane was laid flat on the coating area of PVC board. EQ-Ag diluent was sprayed at a speed of 1 μL / cm using an XYZ three-dimensional scribing and gold spraying instrument to form T-lines, and goat anti-mouse IgG antibody was sprayed to form C-lines. After spraying, the membrane was dried at 37 ℃ for 2 h.
[0031] (3) Treatment of sample pads and absorbent pads Cut the sample pads to the appropriate size. If necessary, pre-impregnate them with a treatment solution containing protein blocking agent and buffer salts and then dry them. Cut the absorbent pads and set them aside.
[0032] (4) Assembly and cutting Attach the sample pad, reaction membrane, and absorbent pad sequentially to the PVC base plate, with each adjacent component overlapping by approximately 2 mm. Use an automatic strip cutter to cut the strips into test strips approximately 3 mm wide, place them in a sealed bag with desiccant, and store them at room temperature away from light.
[0033] Example 3 Test strip performance evaluation (1) Detection limit Prepare EQ standard solutions at concentrations of 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 10 μg / L. Using a micropipette, add 100 μL of the sample solution to the sample pad of the test strip vertically. Start timing once the liquid flows. React for 10 minutes and then determine the result. Negative (-): The T line is darker than or the same as the C line, indicating that the concentration of ethoxyquinoline in the sample is below the detection limit. Positive (+): The T line is lighter than the C line or the T line is not visible, indicating that the concentration of ethoxyquinoline in the sample is equal to or higher than the detection limit. Invalid: No C line appears, indicating incorrect operation or that the test strip has deteriorated and become ineffective.
[0034] (2) Precision Three concentration levels of 0, 5, and 10 μg / L were selected to examine the intra-batch repeatability of test strips from the same batch and the inter-batch repeatability of test strips from different batches. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the T / C value was calculated. The results were all less than 10%, indicating that the test strips had good precision.
[0035] (3) Actual sample testing Blank samples and spiked samples at concentrations of 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, and 15 μg / kg were tested for ethoxyquinoline in large yellow croaker, sea bass, and pear. The results showed that the detection sensitivity for ethoxyquinoline in all three food samples was 5 μg / kg, significantly lower than the relevant limits, making it suitable for rapid on-site screening of ethoxyquinoline residues in food.
