Abstract
2
Salbutamol (SAL) and ractopamine (RAC) have been illegally used to promote
3
protein synthesis and to increase the feed conversion rate in livestock. However, the
4
residues of SAL and RAC could cause potential hazards for human health. The
5
Ministry of Agriculture of China banned the use of SAL and RAC as growth
6
promoters. In this paper, we enclosed detail information on developing a rapid and
7
sensitive gel-based immunoassay for on-site screening SAL and RAC residues in pork.
8
The detection time was shortened to 20 min. The limits of detection were 0.5 μg/kg
9
for SAL and RAC by visual detection, while, the quantitative gel-based immunoassay
10
enabled the detection of SAL (0.051 μg/kg) and RAC (0.020 μg/kg) in spiked pork
11
samples. The gel-based immunoassay showed promise as a multiplexed immunoassay
12
for on-site surveilling of SAL and RAC residues in pork.

1. Introduction
15
β-Agonists, a class of phenylethanolamine compounds, are widely used for the
16
treatment of respiratory diseases. Among them, salbutamol (SAL) and ractopamine
17
(RAC) are two typical representatives, and they are originally used as tocolytics,
18
bronchodilators, and heart tonics in human and veterinary medicine.
19
years, β-agonists have been illegally used to promote protein synthesis and to increase
20
the feed conversion rate in animal husbandry.
21
chemicals could pose potential hazard on human health, such as food poisoning,
22
cardiovascular and central nervous diseases. 6-8 Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture
23
of China and some other countries banned the use of β-agonist as growth promoters in
24
animal husbandary. 9

Because these compounds could enhance the growth rates and feed efficiency,
26
β-agonists were still illegally used in food-animal producing. Thus, it is urgent to
27
develop rapid and sensitive analytical methods for screening of trace residues for
28
surveillance. 10 During the last two decades, some analytical methods were developed
29
for the analysis of β-agonists residues in various food matrices. Of all, GC-MS,
30
LC-MS and LC-MS/MS are widely used for the determination of SAL and RAC
31
residues.

instruments,
33
procedures. Hence, they are not suitable for on-site screening purpose.
34
Immunoassays are widely used as screening method in food safety, environmental
35
monitoring and clinic diagnosing. Recently, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay

(ELISA), lateral-flow tests, surface plasmon resonance sensors and other analytical
37
methods were developed for rapid screening of veterinary drug residues.
38
However, lateral-flow tests have low sensitivity; ELISA is time-consuming, and SPR
39
needs special equipment. 23, 24 Thus, a rapid and sensitive analytical method is needed
40
for screening purpose.
3, 9, 18-22
41
In this study, a rapid and sensitive non-instrumental method was developed for
42
simultaneous detection of SAL and RAC residues. The principle of gel-based
43
immunoassay was similar to traditional ELISAs.
44
the specific combination of antigen and antibody reacted. After the addition of
45
chromogenic substrate, a blue color development was visible. The cut-off value was
46
defined as the concentration of target analyte at which there was no color
47
development. Furthermore, the colour intensity of the color development was
48
evaluated to make a quantitative detection. To our knowledge, it is the first time that a
49
qualitative and quantitative gel-based immunoassay was developed for simultaneously
50
screening two kinds of β-agonists residues.
51
2. Materials and methods
52
Reagents and materials
25
Gel was used as a carrier where
53
SAL and RAC standards were purchased from China Institutes for Food and
54
Drug Control (Beijing, China). Anti-SAL antibody, anti-RAC antibody, SAL-HRP and
55
RAC-HRP conjugates were obtained from Beijing WDWK Biotechnology Co., Ltd
56
(Beijing, China). CNBr-activited sepharose 4B was purchased from GE Healthcare 4
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
57
(New Jersey, USA). Goat anti-mouse IgG were purchased from Jackson
58
Immuno-Research Inc. (Pennsylvania, USA). Bond Elut SPE cartridges (1 mL) and
59
polyethylene frits were purchased from Agilent Technologies (California, USA).
60
Solutions and buffers
61
Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, 0.01 M, pH 7.4), chromogenic substrate (0.1%
62
TMB, H2O2 in 0.05 M citrate buffer, pH 4.5), coupling buffer (NaHCO3 buffer
63
containing 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8.3), blocking buffer (coupling buffer containing 0.2 M of
64
glycine, pH 8.0) and acetate buffer (pH 4.0, containing 0.5 M NaCl) were prepared in
65
this study.
66
Preparation of the gels
67
Gel coupled with anti-mouse IgG (AM-CG) was carried out according to the
68
instruction of the manufacturer and previous researches. 23 The anti-SAL antibody and
69
anti-RAC antibody were immobilized onto the gel to prepare the anti-SAL gel and
70
anti-RAC gel. Preparation of blocked gel (BG, gel coupled with glycine) was similar
71
with the AM-CG that described above, by using glycine to block the active site of the
72
coupled gels. The prepared gel was suspended in PBS containing 0.03% Proclin 300,
73
and stored at 4 °C before use.
74
Gel-based immunoassay
75
The first frit was placed on the bottom at the 1 mL Bond Elut Reservoir, and 200
76
μL of anti-RAC gel was added to the column. The second frit was used to cover the
77
RAC test-layer, and the third frit was added to the column to produce an air gap layer
78
(0.3 cm). Then, 200 μL of anti-SAL gel was added to the column above the third frit, 5

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
79
and the fourth frit was used to cover the SAL test-layer. The prepared columns were
80
stored at 4 °C until use.
81
Sample treatment and trace residues analysis
82
The pork samples were purchased from outlet of Beijing, and all samples were
83
verified as free of SAL and RAC using LC-MS/MS. 8 Then, 1 g of pork sample was
84
extracted using 3 mL of trichloroacetic acid. After centrifugation, the pH of the
85
extracting solution was adjusted to pH 7.0 using 1 M NaOH. Then, about 3 mL of the
86
extracting solutions were added to the test column from the inlet. The sample extracts
87
should pass through the column at the speed of 1 drop per second. Then, 200 μL of
88
diluted RAC-HRP and SAL-HRP conjugates solution was added to the test layer, and
89
incubated for 6 min. Then, 6 mL of PBST-NaCl solution was added in order to
90
remove the unbound conjugates. After adding 300 μL of the chromogenic substrate,
91
the visual color was observed after incubation for 5 min.
92
Quantitative interpretation and assay validation
93
The qualitative gel-based immunoassay could only provide a rough result with
94
naked eyes, which resulted in a low sensitivity. In order to improve its sensitivity, the
95
images of the gel-based immunoassays were record and were saved in JPG format,
96
and the colour intensity of test layers were evaluated by “Adobe Photoshop CS5”, and
97
values of saturation (parameter S, HSB mode) were obtained for quantitative analysis.

method. 8 Blank pork samples spiked with SAL and RAC standards were analyzed by
102
both the quantitative gel-based immunoassay and the well-established LC-MS/MS
103
method which detection limits for SAL and RAC were 0.04 μg/kg and 0.10 μg/kg,
104
respectively. Correlation of the two methods was compared, and further validation
105
was carried out according to Commission Decision 2002/657/EC.
106
3 Results and discussion
107
Principle of the gel-based immunoassay
108
The principle of the gel-based immunoassay was similar with traditional ELISAs.
109
While, the gel-based immunoassay used sepharose 4B gels as carrier for immobilizing
110
antibody. There were two test layers and one air gap layer in the developed
111
immunoassay. For test layer, CNBr-activated sepharose 4B bead was utilized as
112
carrier media to immobilize anti-SAL and anti-RAC antibodies. Then target analytes
113
in samples would compete with HRP-analyte conjugates to combine with antibody in
114
the test layer. After the addition of chromogenic substrate and the color development,
115
the results can be observed by naked eyes. The negative results would present a
116
visible blue color on the respective test layers, while the positive results presented no
117
or negligible color. The cut-off value was defined as the lowest concentration of
118
anlayte which results in no color development. Compared with traditional
119
immunoassays, the gel-based immunoassays have a larger loading volume, which
120
could greatly improve the sensitivity.
121
Optimization of gel-based immunoassay 7

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
122
Compared with traditional immunoassays, the non-specific adsorption effects
123
could greatly affect the sensitivity of the gel-based immunoassay. In this study, the
124
concentration of the antibodies and HRP-analyte conjugates were optimized first.
125
Dilutions of SAL-HRP ranged from 1:8000 to 1:40000 in 0.01 M PBS (pH 7.4), while,
126
dilutions of anti-SAL antibody ranged from 1:4000 to 1:20000 were used for
127
optimization. In consideration of color development and non-specific adsorption
128
effect, SAL-HRP dilution at 1:8000 and anti-SAL antibody dilution at 1:10000 were
129
chosen. The optimization of RAC test-layer was similar to the SAL test-layer, and the
130
RAC-HRP dilution at 1:20000 and anti-RAC antibody dilution at 1:10000 were
131
chosen as optimal. If the concentrations of antibody and HRP tracer are higher than
132
the selective level, non-specific adsorption’s interference can influence on the visual
133
color development results, and lower concentrations of antibody and HRP tracer may
134
lead to weak color development.
135
Washing buffer is also important for eliminating nonspecific adsorption.
136
Different volumes (2, 4, 6 and 8 mL) and different ionic strength (NaCl concentration
137
at 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 M in washing buffer) were investigated. Increasing both of the
138
volume and ionic strength under a certain level could greatly minimize the
139
non-specific adsorption effect. The results revealed that 6 mL of the washing buffer
140
(NaCl concentration was 0.5 M) could effectively decrease the nonspecific adsorption
141
to insignificant levels.
142
In order to simultaneously screen two analytes, the reaction time (incubation
143
time of HRP conjugates and detection time of chromogenic substrate) should be 8
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
144
optimized for both test layers. As shown in Figure 1A, the parameter S (saturation, %)
145
value could increase when prolong the incubation time with HRP conjugates. The
146
non-specific adsorption effect appeared when the incubation time was over 6 min.
147
Thus, 6 min was chosen as optimal for incubation time of HRP conjugates. The
148
optimization procedure of detection time was similar to the optimization procedure of
149
incubation time. As shown in Figure 1B, 5 min was chosen as optimal detection time
150
in consideration of the non-specific adsorption effect and the color development
151
intensity.
152
Assay specificity
153
β-Agonists are a class of phenylethanolamine compounds with synthetic
154
chemical structure. The specificity of the gel-based immunoassay was evaluated by
155
determining the cross-reactivity using other β-agonists. In this study, clenbuterol
156
(CLE), cimaterol, terbutaline, zipaterol, clorprenaline, brobuterol and bambuterol
157
were tested. There was no elimination of the color intensity in the test layers for the
158
other β-agonists at a high concentration (100 ng/mL), which indicated that the
159
gel-based immunoassay is high specific for detecting SAL and RAC residues (Figure
160
2).
161
Sample preparation and trace residues analysis
162
The complex food matrix effect could greatly influent the immunoassays. Due to
163
the high sample loading capacity, sample matrix effect could be reduced greatly using
164
a comparatively simple preparation procedure. The results of the gel-based
165
immunoassay in standard solution were shown in Figure 3A. The color of the test 9

166
layers fades when increasing analyte concentration in standard solution. When the
167
concentration was higher than the cut-off level (defined as qualitative LODs), it could
168
occupy enough binding sites of antibodies, and lead to the color disappeared. From
169
the results of Figure 3A, the qualitative LODs were 0.5 μg/kg for SAL and RAC,
170
respectively. Spiked pork samples were prepared and tested by the developed
171
gel-based immunoassays. As shown in Figure 3B, the cut-off values were 0.5 μg/kg
172
for screening of SAL and RAC residues in pork, and these results indicated that the
173
matrix effects showed negligible effects on the assay sensitivity.
174
Probabilities of positive and negative results were tested to prevent false negative
175
results due to matrix interferences. In this study, 50 blank samples and 50 spiked
176
samples (spiked with SAL and RAC at 0.5 μg/kg) were tested by the developed
177
gel-based immunoassays. As summarized in Table 1, the false positive and false
178
negative rates were 8% and 4% for SAL residue analysis, while the results were 2%
179
and 4% for RAC residue analysis, which indicated the permission of this method to be
180
used in the detection of these two analytes.
181
Quantitative analysis and assay validation
182
More intuitive results could be obtained by quantifying the colour intensity of the
183
test layers in Figure 3A. According to previous research, the colour intensity was
184
obtained from the images, and the results were tested for three times and the average
185
value and standard deviation was calculated. B/B0 ratio was selected to express the
186
competitive inhibition curve where B0 and B were the parameter S values obtained
187
from binding at zero and certain concentrations of standards. A four parameter logistic 10
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

188
equation was used to fit the immunoassay data. The calibration curve and analytical
189
performance were shown in Figure 4. Comparing with observed by naked eye, it has
190
higher resolution to decide the cut-off value. The calculated LODs of SAL and RAC
191
were 0.051 μg/kg and 0.020 μg/kg, respectively. The color quantization plays an
192
important role for improving the sensitivity, which were about 10 to 20 times better
193
than qualitative gel-based immunoassays.
194
To evaluate the accuracy and precision of the quantitative gel-based
195
immunoassay, an LC-MS/MS method was used as a reference method for comparison.
196
As shown in Table 2, both methods had satisfactory recoveries and the coefficient of
197
variations (CVs). The average recoveries of SAL and RAC of the gel-based
198
immunoassay were in the range of 78-109%, and CV was in the range of 8.5-16.7%.
199
As shown in Figure 5, the linear regression of the two methods was
200
y=0.7231x+0.1196 with the R2 of 0.9439 for SAL residue analysis, and
201
y=0.8566x+0.0311 with the R2 of 0.9538 for RAC residue analysis. These results
202
indicated that the correlation of the two methods was satisfying, and the described
203
gel-based assay was proved to be rapid, sensitive and precise for screening of SAL
204
and RAC residues in pork.
205
Comparison with other multiplexed immunoassays
206
Several immunoassays have been developed for multi-residue detection of
207
-agonists. Zuo et al. established a hapten microarray for simultaneous determination
208
of SAL, RAC and CLE in pig urine, which obtained the detection limits for SAL and
209
RAC
were
0.01
g/L
and
0.5
g/L
respectively.

In conclusion we described a gel-based immunoassay for multiplexed detection
224
of SAL and RAC residues in pork samples, which capable of sifting a minimum of 0.5
225
g/kg of both SAL and RAC by naked eye, 0.051 g/kg of SAL and 0.020 g/kg of
226
RAC by digital camera within 20 min. These qualitative and quantitative results
227
revealed the suitability of this assay as a tool for fast, sensitive, cost-effective and
