Abstract

A time-resolved fluorescent immunochromatographic assay (TRFICA) was successfully developed for the sensitive, simultaneous, and quantitative detection of aflatoxin B (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) in Chinese herbal medicines. Eu-nanospheres (EuNPs) with unique optical properties increased the stability and sensitivity of the immunochromatographic assay. To obtain stable quantitative results, we applied a three-label system in which monoclonal antibodies for AFB1 and ZEN were conjugated to the EuNPs as detection probes on the test line (T line), and EuNP-labelled chicken IgY conjugates acted as the reference on the control line (C line). The fluorescence intensities of the T and C lines were recorded, and the T/C ratio was employed as the quantitative signal for the elimination of strip variation and matrix effects. The parameters that affected the TRFICA were optimised. Under optimal conditions, the established TRFICA gave good linear ranges from 0.60 μg/kg to 3.92 μg/kg for AFB1 and from 0.40 μg/kg to 1.28 μg/kg for ZEN. The limits of detection for AFB1 and ZEN were as low as 0.60 and 0.40 μg/kg, respectively, in Chinese herbal medicines Semen coicis, Rhizoma dioscoreae, and Platycodon grandiflorus, respectively. The average recoveries of the spiked samples were 73%-95% for AFB1 and 75.83%-90% for ZEN, both with a relative standard deviation of < 9.08%. The results of 15 actual samples detected by the developed TRFICA showed a satisfactory correlation with those of ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Therefore, the TRFICA is a simple, rapid, and sensitive approach to quantitatively detect mycotoxins in Chinese herbal medicines.
