Development and Comparative Study of Different Immunoenzyme Techniques for Pesticides Detection

Abstract

Different ELISA techniques have been developed for the detemination of four widely used pesticides: 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), simazine and atrazine. Dependences between the assay scheme and the limiting detectable concentration of the pesticide were studied. The cases of preferential applying of the scheme with immobilized antibodies or one with immobilized pesticide-protein conjugate have been revealed. The following approaches resulting in lowering of ELISA sensitivity were proposed: preliminary incubation of the tested sample with antibodies, immobilization of antibodies via staphylococcal protein A, usage of monovalent fragments of antibodies instead of native ones and chemical modification of the pesticide molecules in the sample. Optimal combinations of these approaches permitted to lower the detection limit of the assays in about 5–30 times. The achieved sensitivities were 3 ng/mL for 2,4-D, 5 ng/mL for 2,4,5-T, 0.05 ng/mL for simazine, and 0.1 ng/mL for atrazine, being acceptable for purposes of ecological monitoring.     

A Method for Determination of Low Levels of Exposure to 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T

A method has been developed for the determination of trace quantities of 2,4-dichloro-phenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (2,4,5-TCP) in human and rat urine. The method involves acid hydrolysis of the phenolic conjugates, extraction of the free phenols and acids, ethylation with diazoethane, silica-gel column chromatography clean-up of the derivatized urine extract, and gas chromatographic determination using the electron-capture detector. The average recoveries of 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, 2,4-DCP, and 2,4,5-TCP from rat urine spiked with known amounts of the herbicides and their phenols were 94%, 98%, 92%, and 90%, respectively. The limits of detection for 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, DCP, and TCP in rat urine were: 0.05, 0.01, 0.10, and 0.01 ppm, respectively. The method was used to analyze urine of rats given various levels of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T by gavage. Results showed that levels of exposure of 3.75 mcg/kg for 2,4-D and 5.0 mcg/kg for 2,4,5-T in rats can be detected in urine within 24 hr from exposure. Urine samples from occupationally exposed people were analyzed and found to contain 0.2 to 1.0 ppm 2,4-D and 0.05 to 3.6 ppm 2,4,5-T.     

Operational Stability to Changes in Composition of Herbicide Mixtures Fed to a Laboratory-Scale Biobarrier

The main objective of this work was to evaluate the operational stability of a laboratory-scale aerobic biobarrier designed for the treatment of water contaminated by mixtures of three herbicides frequently found in agricultural runoffs, atrazine, simazine and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The microbial consortium used to degrade the herbicides was composed by six cultivable bacterial strains, identified as members of the genera Variovorax, Sphingopyxis, Hydrocarboniphaga, Methylobacterium, Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter. The effect caused by a seventh member of the microbial consortium, a ciliated protozoa of the genus Colpoda, on the herbicides biodegradation kinetics, was also evaluated. The biodegradation of five combinations of the herbicides 2,4-D, atrazine and simazine was studied in the biobarrier, operated in steady state continuous culture at different volumetric loading rates. In all cases, removal efficiencies determined by chemical oxygen demand (COD) and HPLC were nearly 100 %. These results, joined to the null accumulation of aromatic byproducts of atrazine and simazine catabolism, show that after 495 days of operation, in the presence of the protozoa, the adaptability of the microbial consortium to changing environmental conditions allowed the complete removal of the mixture of herbicides.     

Selection of hapten structures for indirect immunosensor arrays

A multianalyte immunosensor array can be implemented by immobilization of different haptens in distinct areas of a single cavity or flow cell. In this case a mixture of different antibodies for different analytes is used in an indirect ELISA-format. The selection of the right hapten structures is very important to build up an array successfully. A system of independent hapten/antibody combinations is needed, with one immobilized hapten (coating antigen) reacting only with one antibody. If more than one antibody binds to a coating antigen no ideal calibration curves are obtained. This phenomenon is known as shared-reactivity and can lead to double-sigmoidal curves. To use monoclonal antibodies to 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), two different haptens had to be found, one only reacting with the TNT-antibody, the other only binding to the 2,4-D-antibody. 2,4-Dichlorophenoxybutyric acid was used for the 2,4-D antibody and 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-8-aminooctanoic acid for the TNT antibody. Although 4-nitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene and 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene showed only very low cross-reactivities to the 2,4-D antibody the corresponding haptens 4-nitrophenylacetic acid, 2,4-dinitrophenyl-6-aminohexanonic acid, and 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluyl-(N)-glutarate are useful coating antigens for this antibody. The structure of the coating antigens had no significant influence on the midpoints (IC50) of the test for 2,4-D and even haptens with very low cross-reactivities could be used. With all haptens a test midpoint of about 0.2 μg/L for 2,4-D was achieved. For the direct assay format with immobilized antibodies the same test midpoint of 0.2 μg/L for 2,4-D was obtained. As a conclusion, the selectivity of a monoclonal antibody should not be influenced by the used tracer or coating antigen as well. It could be shown that the affinity constants of an antibody to the analytes are the main sensitivity and selectivity determining parameters for competitive immunoassays. A two-dimensional microtiter plate array was used to determine the analytes 2,4-D and TNT in parallel with a mixture of antibodies.

Microwave and ultrasonic extraction of chlorophenoxy acids from soil and their determination by fluorescence polarization immunoassay

Procedures were developed for the ultrasonic and microwave extraction of pesticides, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlophenoxyacetic (2,4,5-T) acids from soils for the subsequent determination by fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA). The effect of the matrix composition of soils on the FPIA results was studied, and the optimum extractants and extraction conditions were selected. It was found that 40% ethanol is optimum for both extraction and FPIA determination, because it does not cause antibody denaturation. The recovery of pesticides in soil was 80–132% for 2,4-D and 101–138% for 2,4,5-T. Microwave extraction is more efficient than ultrasonic extraction for the determination of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T in soil. The detection limit in soil and the analytical range are 2 and 4–200 μg/g, respectively, for 2,4-D and 20 and 80–5000 μg/g, respectively, for 2,4,5-T. Results of the determination of 2,4-D in soil by FPIA are in good agreement with the results of the determination by high-performance liquid chromatography. The procedures can be used for the rapid determination of chlorophenoxy acids in soils.     

Optimizing Separation Conditions for Chlorophenoxycarboxylic Acid Herbicides in Natural and Potable Water Using Capillary Zone Electrophoresis

Chlorophenoxycarboxylic acid herbicides were separated and determined by capillary electrophoresis. An analysis of a six-component mixture containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxybutyric (2,4-DB), 2,4-dichlorophenoxypropionic (2,4-DP), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4,5-T), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D), and phenoxyacetic (PA) acids and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), the product of their degradation in aqueous media, took no longer than 15 min. Solid-phase extraction on Diapak C-16 cartridges was used for sample preparation. The detection limits for herbicides in water samples with account for preconcentration (K = 250) were found to be 0.0005 mg/L for 2,4-DB, 2,4-DP, 2,4,5-T, and 2,4-D and 0.001 mg/L for PA. It was shown that humic acids (< 50 mg/L) do not interfere with the determination of chlorophenoxycarboxylic acids.     

A Fast,Simple Method for Analysis of Phenoxy Acid Salt and Ester Formulations by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

Salt formulations of 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), 2,4,5-T (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and dichlorprop [2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propanoic acid] have been analysed by reversed-phase HPLC using a C18-column with 50:50 (v/v) acetonitrile/2% acetic acid as eluant. Internal and external standard HPLC methods are compared.

Ester formulations of 2,4-D and 2,4,5–T are analysed, without hydrolysis, on the same column using 60:40 (v/v) acetonitrile/2% acetic acid as eluant. The method has been used in this laboratory to determine free phenoxy acid in ester formulations, and for the identification of esters in mixed ester formulations.

The methods are fast and accurate, and offer some advantages over previously-described methods.     

Effect of ammonium formate as ionizing additive in thermospray liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for the determination of triazine,phenylurea and chlorinated phenoxyacetic acid herbicides

A comparison between the use of ammonium acetate and ammonium formate in thermospray liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with positive and negative ion modes using ‘filament-on’ mode has been applied for the determination of simazine, atrazine, propazine, monuron, diuron, linuron, 2,4,-D, 2,4,5-T and silvex. By using ammonium formate, the positive ion mode showed for triazine and phenylurea herbicides [M + H]⁺ and [M + NH₄]⁺, respectively, and the formation of other adduct ions different from ammonium acetate. In the negative ion mode, chlorinated phenoxyacetic acid herbicides exhibited [M + acetate]^? or [M + formate]^?, depending on the ionizing additive. Applications are reported for the determination of triazine and chlorinated phenoxyacetic acid herbicides in spiked soil and water samples, respectively.     

Preliminary Screening Method for Dioxin Contamination Using Polarization Fluoroimmunoassay for Chlorinated Phenoxyacid Pesticides

Polarization fluoroimmunoassays (PFIA) were developed for the chlorinated pesticides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). In order to optimize the PFIA procedures, a number of fluorescein-labeled 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T derivatives were synthesized and the influence of their structures on PFIA characteristics was studied. Also, several antisera were tested in developing the PFIA for 2,4,5-T. The assays were adapted for use with the Abbott TDx Analyzer and could be run in automatic mode by the adaptation of existing software and protocols. Dynamic ranges for 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T were 0.2-200 ng mL^–1 and 30-10 000 ng mL^–1, respectively. Total time for the automated assay of 20 samples was about 22 min. PFIA provides a suitable means for screening of a large number of samples. The rapid determination of 2,4,5-T, which is one of the precursors of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, one of the most toxic groups of pollutants, may potentially be used to provide preliminary evidence of dioxin contamination.

Direct hapten coated immunoassay format for the detection of atrazine and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicides

A novel immunoassay format employing direct coating of small molecular hapten on microtiter plates is reported for the detection of atrazine and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D). In this assay, the polystyrene surface of microtiter plates was first treated with an acid to generate -NO₂ groups on the surface. Acid treated plates were further treated with 3-aminoprpyltriethoxysilane (APTES) to functionalize the plate surface with amino groups for covalent linkage to small molecular hapten with carboxyl groups. The modified plates showed significantly high antibody binding in comparison to plates coated with hapten-carrier protein conjugates and presented excellent stability as a function of the buffer pH and reaction time. The developed assay employing direct hapten coated plates and using affinity purified atrazine and 2,4-D antibodies demonstrated very high sensitivity, IC₅₀ values for atrazine and 2,4-D equal to 0.8 ng mL⁻¹ and 7 ng mL⁻¹, respectively. The assay could detect atrazine and 2,4-D levels in standard water samples even at a very low concentration upto 0.02 and 0.7 ng mL⁻¹ respectively in the optimum working range between 0.01 and 1000 ng mL⁻¹ with good signal reproducibility (p values: 0.091 and 0.224 for atrazine and 2,4-D, respectively). The developed immunoassay format could be used as convenient quantitative tool for the sensitive screening of pesticides in samples.     

New immunosensors for 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T pesticides determination

New immunosensors for 2-(2, 4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid (i.e. 2,4-D) and (2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxy) acetic acid (i.e. 2,4,5-T) pesticide determination were developed using a non commercial antibody, hydrogen peroxide transducer and horseradish peroxidase as enzyme marker. The results show the full validity of these immunosensor devices, which were optimized using a ‘competition’ separation procedure. These immunosensors were also used to test pesticide recovery in common real matrices such as field grass, maize and wheat samples, for which good results were obtained. The immunosensors developed demonstrated a good selectivity versus different kinds of pesticides and may thus be considered as suitable devices for application to real matrices (LOD?=?8.0?×?10^?11?mol?L^?1; RSD%?=?5.2 for 2,4-D and LOD?=?2.8?×?10^?9?mol?L^?1; RSD%?=?6.1 for 2,4,5-T).     

Solid-phase extraction of acidic herbicides

A discussion of solid-phase extraction method development for acidic herbicides is presented that reviews sample matrix modification, extraction sorbent selection, derivatization procedures for gas chromatographic analysis, and clean-up procedures for high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis. Acidic herbicides are families of compounds that include derivatives of phenol (dinoseb, dinoterb and pentachlorophenol), benzoic acid (acifluorfen, chloramben, dicamba, 3,5-dichlorobenzoic acid and dacthal--a dibenzoic acid derivative), acetic acid [2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T)], propanoic acid [dichlorprop, fluazifop, haloxyfop, 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid (MCPP) and silvex], butanoic acid [4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)butanoic acid (2,4-DB) and 4-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)butanoic acid (MCPB)], and other miscellaneous acids such as pyridinecarboxylic acid (picloram) and thiadiazine dioxide (bentazon).     

6-Chloro-N,N-Diethyl-1,3,5-Triazine-2,4-Diamine (Simazine) Electrochemical Sensing Chip Based on Biomimetic Recognition Utilizing a Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Layer on a Gold Chip

Abstract

Electrochemical sensing chip of 6-chloro-N,N-diethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (Simazine) was developed on its reductive current. In order to give sensitivity and selectivity to the simazine sensing chip, a gold chip was modified with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for simazine, which is worked as biomimetic recognition element and showed. Using simazine sensing chip, cathodic current of simazine was measured by cyclic voltammetry and the peak current depended on the concentration of simazine. The detection limit was 0.4 µM. Simazine sensing chip was 29 times more sensitive to simazine than bare gold electrode and showed selective response to simazine compared to atrazine and MCC, by the modification with Sim-MIP.     

The characterization of prepared organomontmorillonite (DEDMAM) and sorption of phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides from aqueous solution

The montmorillonite has been subjected to modification through ion-exchange reaction by N,N'-didodecyl-N,N'-tetramethylethanediammoniumdiiodide (DEDMAI). The modified sample was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The basal spacing of modified montmorillonite was determined as 28.72 A. The IR spectra of organomontmorillonite showed changes in C-H vibrations. The characterization of N,N'-didodecyl-N,N'-tetramethylethanediammonium montmorillonite (DEDMAM) and the adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4-dichlorophenoxybutyric acid (2,4-DB), 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) on organomontmorillonite was studied as a function of the solution concentration. The adsorption energy (E) and adsorption capacity (qm) for phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides adsorbing on organomontmorillonite (DEDMAM) were estimated using the Dubinin-Radushkevic (D-R) equation. These isotherms were modeled according to Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevic adsorption isotherms. The sorption of the herbicides on DEDMAM increased in order of MCPA<2,4-D<2,4-DB<2,4,5-T.     

Preconcentration of atrazine and simazine with multiwalled carbon nanotubes as solid-phase extraction disk

A sensitive and selective preconcentration method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) disk, namely multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) disk, is proposed for the determination of atrazine and simazine in water samples. Atrazine and simazine were extracted on MWCNTs disk and then determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Several parameters on the enrichment factor of the analytes were investigated. The experimental results showed that it was possible to obtain quantitative analysis when the solution pH was 5 using 200 mL of validation solution containing 0.1 μg of triazines and 5 mL of acetone as an eluent. The maximum enrichment factors for atrazine and simazine were 3900 ± 250 and 4000 ± 110, respectively when 200 mL of sample solution volume was used. Relative standard deviations for seven determinations were 6.9% (atrazine) and 3.0% (simazine) under optimum conditions. The linear range of calibration curves were 0.1 to 1 ng mL^{− 1} for each analyte with good correlation coefficients. The detection limits (3S/N) were 2.5 and 5.0 pg mL^{− 1} for atrazine and simazine, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of atrazine and simazine in environmental water samples with high precision and accuracy.     

Development of a highly sensitive enzyme-immunoassay for the determination of triazine herbicides

A monoclonal antibody (Mab) with extraordinary sensitivity and high class selectivity to triazine herbicides is described. With an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using Mab 4A54 IC₅₀ values for terbuthylazine, atrazine, propazine and simazine below 0.1 μg/L (the EU maximum admissible concentration for individual pesticides) have been obtained. Detection limits of 0.004 μg/L for terbuthylazine, 0.006 μg/L for atrazine, 0.003 μg/L for propazine, 0.01 μg/L for simazine and 0.05 μg/L for deethylterbuthylazine could be achieved. Therefore, Mab 4A54 allows a sum screening of these five triazines in a relevant concentration range. To our knowledge, this is the most sensitive antibody to terbuthylazine at all and also the most sensitive Mab to all these four triazines. Another monoclonal antibody resulting from the same immunization, clone 4A118, exhibits best sensitivity for propazine (detection limit: 0.02 μg/L) at lower cross-reactivity to terbuthylazine and atrazine compared to clone 4A54. Affinity constants of both Mabs towards several triazines have been calculated. The application of both Mabs for the analysis of triazines in water samples of different origin has been tested and their resistance towards humic acid influence could be shown. A good correlation of the analysis of water samples with GC and ELISA was observed.     

Determination of atrazine and simazine in environmental water samples using multiwalled carbon nanotubes as the adsorbents for preconcentration prior to high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes, a new nanoscale material, has been gained many interests for use in various fields, and has exhibited exceptional merit as SPE absorbents for enrichment of environmental pollutants. This paper focused on the enriching power of atrazine and simazine, two important widely used triazine herbicides and described a novel and sensitive method for determination of these two herbicides based on SPE using multiwalled carbon nanotubes as solid phase absorbents followed by high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector. Factors that maybe affect the enrichment efficiency of multiwalled carbon nanotubes such as the volume of eluent, sample flow rate, sample pH, and volume of the water samples were optimized. Under the optimal procedures, multiwalled carbon nanotubes as the absorbents have obtained excellent enrichment efficiency for atrazine and simazine. The detection limits of the atrazine and simazine were 33 and 9 ng l⁻¹, respectively. The spiked recoveries of the two analytes were over the range of 82.6-103.7% in most cases. Good analytical performance was achieved from real-world water samples such as river water, reservoir water, tap water and wastewater after primary pretreatment with proposed method. All these experimental results indicated that the developed method could be used as an alternative for the routine analysis of atrazine and simazine in many real water samples.
