    Abstract:
    The fluorescent microsphere has been increasingly used as detecting label in immunoassay because of its stable configuration, high fluorescence intensity, and photostability. In this paper, we developed a novel lateral flow fluorescent microsphere immunoassay (FMIA) for the determination of sulfamethazine (SMZ) in milk in a quantitative manner with high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapidity. A monoclonal antibody to SMZ was covalently conjugated with the carboxylate-modified fluorescent microsphere, which is polystyrene with a diameter of 200 nm. Quantitative detection of SMZ in milk was accomplished by recording the fluorescence intensity of microspheres captured on the test line after the milk samples were diluted five times. Under optimal conditions, the FMIA displays a rapid response for SMZ with a limit of detection of as low as 0.025 ng mL(-1) in buffer and 0.11 μg L(-1) in milk samples. The FMIA was then successfully applied on spiked milk samples and the recoveries ranged from 101.1 to 113.6% in the inter-batch assay with coefficient of variations of 6.0 to 14.3%. We demonstrate here that the fluorescent microsphere-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is capable of rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of SMZ in milk.
