Description
Summary:Herein, an ultrasensitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), based on metal-organic framework-decorated polydopamine (PCN-224@PDA) was first established to detect multiple sulfonylureas (SUs) in functional foods. The PCN-224@PDA was synthesized using the one-pot hydrothermal method and covalently coupled with SUs antibodies, and the coupling rate was up to 91.8%. The detection limits of the developed PCN-224@PDA-LFIA for multiple SUs in functional teas and capsules were 0.22–3.72 μg/kg and 0.40–3.71 μg/kg, and quantification limits were 0.75–8.19 μg/kg and 1.03–9.08 μg/kg, respectively. The analytical sensitivity was 128-fold higher than that of similar methods reported so far. The recovery rates ranged from 83.8 to 119.0%, with coefficients of variation of 7.6–14.4%. The parallel analysis of 20 real samples by LC-MS/MS confirmed the reliability of the proposed method. Therefore, our work offers novel, ultrasensitive, and rapid technical support for on-site monitoring of SUs in functional foods.
