Abstract: | Strobilurin fungicides have been increasingly used for fungus pest control since they were introduced in 1996. For pesticide residue detection, immunoassays constitute nowadays a valuable approach. This paper describes the synthesis of functionalized haptens of kresoxim-methyl, the production of monoclonal antibodies, and the development of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. On the one hand, a two-step conjugate-coated immunoassay was optimized using extended or short incubation times, with limits of detection of 0.4 ng/mL for the extended assay and 0.3 ng/mL for the rapid assay. On the other hand, an immunoassay was optimized following a procedure consisting of just one incubation step. This one-step assay had a limit of detection of 0.4 ng/mL. All of these assays showed a similar performance, with sensitivities well below common maximum residue limits for this pesticide (50 microg/kg) and lower than the detection limits of the usual chromatographic detection methods. |
