Development of Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Strips for Micropollutant Screening Using Colorants of Aptamer-Functionalized Nanogold Particles, Part II: Experimental Verification with Aflatoxin B1 and Chloramphenicol.

Lateral flow immunochromatographic strips based on colorants of aptamer-functionalized nanogold particles were developed for the detection of micropollutants aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and chloramphenicol (CAP). The lateral flow immunochromatographic strip was based on a competitive reaction of thiolated-aptamer between micropollutants and bio-DNA probe-streptavidin as capture material immobilized at the test line. General crucial parameters that might influence the sensitivity have been systematically investigated. To test the effectiveness and applicability of the optimized conditions, two structurally unrelated micropollutants, that is, AFB1 and CAP, were chosen for detection. In the present study, lateral flow immunochromatographic strips for AFB1 and CAP analysis by combining the high selectivity and affinity of aptamers with the unique optical properties of nanogold in municipal water samples were reported for the first time. With the optimized conditions, the immunochromatographic strip showed a visual LOD of 10 ppb and a quantitative LOD of 1.05 ppb using an immunochromatographic reader for AFB1 detection and a quantitative LOD of 63.4 ppb using an immunochromatographic reader for CAP detection. Furthermore, the sensitive strip provided a good linear detection range of approximately 0-50 ppm for AFB1 detection and a wider liner detection range of approximately 0-160 ppm for CAP detection. Moreover, the immunochromatographic strip provided recovery rates for water samples of 90-110% in the AFB1 analysis and 84-108% in the CAP analysis. The results demonstrated that the immunochromatographic strip has excellent potential for wide applicability and verified that the strip methods for the optimized conditions are applicable to a variety of micropollutants. The lateral flow immunochromatographic strip could be used as a simple, rapid, and efficient screening tool for rapid on-site detection of a variety of micropollutants.
