This study was conducted to develop a self-assembled direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dcELISA) kit for the detection of deoxynivalenol (DON) in food and feed grains. Based on the preparation of anti-DON monoclonal antibodies, we established a standard curve with dcELISA and optimized the detection conditions. The performance of the kit was evaluated by comparison with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The minimum detection limit of DON with the kit was 0.62 ng/mL, the linear range was from 1.0 to 113.24 ng/mL and the half-maximal inhibition concentration (IC50) was 6.61 ng/mL in the working buffer; there was a limit of detection (LOD) of 62 ng/g, and the detection range was from 100 to 11324 ng/g in authentic agricultural samples. We examined four samples of wheat bran, wheat flour, corn flour and corn for DON recovery. The average recovery was in the range of 77.1% to 107.0%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) ranged from 4.2% to 11.9%. In addition, the kit has the advantages of high specificity, good stability, a long effective life and negligible sample matrix interference. Finally, wheat samples from farms in the six provinces of Henan, Anhui, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and Gansu in China were analyzed by the kit. A total of 30 samples were randomly checked (five samples in each province), and the results were in good agreement with the standardized HPLC method. These tests showed that the dcELISA kit had good performance and met relevant technical requirements, and it had the characteristics of accuracy, reliability, convenience and high-throughput screening for DON detection. Therefore, the developed kit is suitable for rapid screening of DON in marketed products.

Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor drug, is used for the treatment of breast cancer in pre- and postmenopausal women. Anastrozole’s incorporation into nanoparticulate carriers would enhance its therapeutic performance. To perceive the exact loaded amount of drug in nanocarriers, a valid analytical method is required. The reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated by using the C18 column, 150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm particle size, in isocratic mobile phase composed of 50:50 V/V (volume/volume) acetonitrile–phosphate buffer (pH 3) flowing at a rate of 1.0 mL/min, and a diode array detector (DAD) set at λmax = 215 nm. The validation parameters such as linearity, accuracy, specificity, precision, and robustness have proven the accuracy of the method, with the relative standard deviation percentage (% RSD) values < 2. The limit of detection of the method was found equal to 0.0150 µg/mL, and the limit of quantitation was 0.0607 µg/mL. The percent recovery of sample was in the range of 98.04–99.25%. The method has the advantage of being rapid with a drug retention time of 2.767 min, specific in terms of resolution of peaks void of interference with any of the excipients, and high reproducibility. This makes it highly applicable for quality control purposes.

AbstractA pre-column derivatized high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with ultraviolet-visible detection was developed to measure the concentrations of spectinomycin in fermentation broth. Derivatization reagents, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in acetonitrile (5 mg mL−1) and trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile (0.8 mol L−1), were added to an aliquot of the fermentation broth, and the mixture was incubated for 60 min at 70°C. The resulting derivative was separated from other compounds by isocratic elution in a reversed-phase column Zorbax SB-C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm). Mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and water (φ r = 40: 35: 25) and the flow rate was 1.0 mL min−1. The detection wavelength was 415 nm. The standard curve for spectinomycin sulfate was linear with correlation coefficients of 0.9997 in the range of 25 µg mL−1 to 600 µg mL−1. The relative standard deviation values ranged from 0.43 % to 2.18 % depending on the concentration of samples. The average recovery was 101.5 %. The limit of detection was 50 ng mL−1.

We describe an ultrasensitive and quantitative immunochromatographic assay to determine the amount of clenbuterol (CLB) in swine urine. In this study, fluorescein isothiocyanate polystyrene fluorescent microspheres were used as probes. A sample preincubation strategy was introduced to this immunochromatographic assay. Results showed that the strategy evidently improved the sensitivity and accuracy of lateral flow assay. The method was completed in 20 min, and a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 0.13 μg liter−1 was obtained. The limit of detection of the proposed method to determine CLB in swine urine was 0.01 μg liter−1, which was lower than the limit of detection of immunochromatographic assays without preincubation. Intra-and interday recoveries of spiked swine urine ranged from 85.0 to 107.5%. The relative standard deviation values of the preincubated test strip ranged from 2.7 to 12.5%. Analysis of the CLB in swine urine samples showed that the result obtained from the lateral flow assay is consistent with that obtained from a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Our results suggest that the developed fluorescent microsphere–based immunochromatographic assay may be useful as a rapid screening method to detect CLB quantitatively.

Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional whey protein which has recently received much attention for possibly applications in fortifying infant milk formula (IMF) with its bioactivity. However, to date, there is no established high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to quantify this protein in milk or IMF. In this study, a rapid, simple, isocratic and reliable reversed-phase HPLC method was developed and validated to quantify the OPN in IMF. A C18 column (4.6 × 150 mm × 5 micron) was employed with 20% of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and 80% of 60% acetonitrile in 0.1% TFA for 10 min detected at 214 nm. The flow rate was 0.3 mL/min with an injection volume of 10 µL. The column temperature was 40 °C, and the peak appeared after 4 min. The validation was based on the system suitability, linearity (r2 = 0.999), limit of detection (LOD) (0.14 mg/L), limit of quantitation (LOQ) (0.41 mg/L), precision (% relative standard deviation (RSD) < 0.2), recovery (% RSD < 3) and robustness. The results confirm that the method developed is suitable for OPN determination in IMF.

The purpose of this study was to develop a simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for determination of glyphosate (GP) residues in soybean grains. From soybean matrix, glyphosate was extracted with a mixture of water and methanol (4:1, v/v) from soybean samples followed by protein precipitation with equal volume of methanol. No preconcentration and further clean up of the sample were required. Pre-column derivatization was carried out with excess amount of 9- fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC-Cl) in the presence of borate buffer. The gradient program developed in this method was successfully applied to a reverse phase HPLC system with a C18 column (ACE 5 μm 4.6 x 250 mm), and eluted with a mobile phase consisting of 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 2.5, and acetonitrile at the flow rate of 0.8 ml/min and fluorescence detection. Parameters and conditions affecting extraction, derivatization reaction and chromatographic separation were systematically examined. Linearity of the method ranged from 0.005 - 1.0 μg/ml. The correlation coefficient (r2) of calibration curve for glyphosate in soybean sample was found to be 0.99929. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) values were determined to be 0.125 mg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg, respectively. Average recovery was 95.2%. Repeatability and intermediate precision calculated on the basis of peak area were excellent and showed relative standard deviation ranged from 0.15 - 1.29% and 1.15 - 3.87%, respectively. The developed method has been successfully applied for determination of glyphosate residues in soybean grains obtained from Thailand and Nepal. Soybean samples (53) from two different lots were analyzed and glyphosate residues ranged from 0.23 mg/kg to 5.06 mg/kg. Almost 50% soybean samples contained nearly consistent residue levels in both lots but in remaining samples there was a significant variation of glyphosate levels between two lots. Relatively higher residues were detected in samples from Thailand (0.27-5.06 mg/kg) compared to Nepal (0.23-0.99 mg/kg). The results suggest that the proposed method can be used to determine glyphosate residues in foods derived from soybean and other crops such as corn, cotton, wheat, etc. where glyphosate is widely applied to these crops.
