Abstract

Based on the selected monoclonal antibody, the effect of three reaction formats on sensitivity, specificity, and determination ability for real samples were investigated. The results showed the antibody-coated format was the optimal assay for parathion determination. The sensitivity of the assay was 3.20 ng/ml, with a detection limit of 0.40 ng/ml, and the assay time was 1.5 h. The average recoveries of parathion in river water, rice, cucumber, green soy bean, and cabbage were 98.56%, 89.46%, 99.25%, 118.57%, and 101.39%, respectively. In addition, when rice and cabbage extracts were analyzed by the assay and HPLC, the correlation was greater than 0.9.

Notes

N: no competitive reaction happened.

a IC50 value could not be determined accurately due to the limited solubility at high concentrations; however, it was clear that inhibition was less than 50% at 10000 ng/ml.
