Multiplex Immunogold Chromatographic Assay for Simultaneous Determination of Macrolide Antibiotics in Raw Milk

Abstract

A rapid, simple, reliable, and sensitive immunogold chromatographic assay (IGCA) was described for simultaneous determination of four macrolide antibiotics (erythromycin, spiramycin, tilmicosin, and tylosin) in raw milk. Three antigens were immobilized as three test lines on the nitrocellulose membrane, which enable the simultaneous determination on a single test strip. Samples were detected directly without treatment; the entire testing process was completed within 10 min. The visual detection limits for erythromycin, spiramycin, tilmicosin, and tylosin were 5, 5, 10, and 20 ng/mL, respectively. Sixty blind raw milk samples were analyzed by both IGCA and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry; the results showed a good correlation between the two methods. The results demonstrate that the developed method could provide a rapid and effective approach for the onsite determination of multi-macrolide antibiotics residues in a large number of samples.
