To establish a colloidal gold immunochromatographic method for the rapid detection of cotinine in urines.
To prepare the colloidal gold-labeled antibody probe, optimization of the pH value and the amount of antibody labeling (COT-Mab) was carried out. Following this, the coating concentrations of the cotinine antibody (COT-BSA) for the test (T) line and the sheep anti-mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG) for the control (C) line were also optimized. Subsequently, a colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip was assembled. Finally, the sensitivity of the strip was evaluated.
The optimal conditions established for the colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip were as followings, pH value of 6.5, COT-Mab concentration of 10.00 μg·mL-1, COT-BSA concentration of 0.10 mg·mL-1, and sheep anti-mouse IgG concentration of 1.00 mg·mL-1. The visual detection limit and the cut-off value were 0.01 and 0.20 μg·mL-1, respectively. Within 15 minutes, this method enabled qualitative analysis of cotinine in urines.
The method has good specificity and accuracy, as well as convenient operation and excellent reproducibility, which can be used for on-site detection and rapid initial screening of smokers and non-smokers during drug clinical trials.
