A capillary-based amperometric flow immunoassay for 2,4,6-trichlorophenol

• This paper describes the development of two different capillary-based heterogeneous competitive flow immunoassay formats (capillary flow injection immunoassay (CFIIA) and capillary sequential injection immunoassay (CSIIA)) for the determination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP). The assays are based on the competition between the analyte and an analyte derivative labelled with the enzyme #-galactosidase, for an anti-TCP antibody, followed by the injection of the mixture at equilibrium into a flow stream, where separation between the fractions bound and unbound to the antibody is performed in a glass capillary containing immobilised protein A. The antibody-tracer fraction retained inside the protein A capillary was measured by injection of 4-aminophenyl-#-D-galactoside (4-APG), followed by amperometric detection of the enzymatically generated 4-aminophenol (4-AP), leading to a negative correlation between the signal and the analyte concentration.
