ABSTRACT
A commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit with a high affinity monoclonal antibody was applied to residual analysis of insecticide chlorfenapyr in agricultural samples, and drawn a parallel between the ELISA and gas chromatography (GC) with mass spectrometry (MS). For standards prepared in water containing 5% (v/v) methanol, the sensitivity (I50 value), the dynamic range, and the limit of detection of the ELISA kit were 2.3, 1 - 10, and 0.1 ng/g, respectively. The used monoclonal antibody in the ELISA kit had a high selectivity. The ELISA kit was applied to the determination of chlorfenapyr in two kinds of fruits (apple and peach). The examination of the influence of these matrices on the reliability of the assay performance indicated that the ELISA could determine it in these samples near the regulation values in Japan simply by diluting the methanolic extract or by concentrating it, without any clean-up procedures. Recovery and precision of the proposed ELISA method were assessed by fortifying fruit samples with chlorfenapyr ranging from 0.05 to 1.5 microg/g. Mean recoveries were 94.2 and 90.3% for apple and peach, and coefficients of variation were below 16% in most cases. The results obtained from the proposed ELISA method correlate well the reference GC/MS method for both fruit samples (r > 0.98). These considerations make the ELISA kit very useful analytical tool for monitoring and regulatory programs, without the need of complex and expensive instrumentation.
