Organophosphorus Pesticides (OPPs) are a group of artificially synthesized substances used in farms to control pests and to enhance agricultural production. Although these compounds show preferential toxicity to insects, they are also toxic to humans and mammals by the same mode of action. ELISA now is an alternative method to detect OPPs. But, it must bear heterogenous properties, since several separation steps are needed during the ELISA method protocols. The FPIAs, which belong to homogenous assay, for determination of OPPs parathion and zainphos-methyl have been developed. The characteristics of Dep-EDF and PM-B-EDF tracers binding with antibodies A and D were investigated in the antibodies dilution experiments. The PM-B-EDF tracer combination with antibody D was selected to construct the standard curve for parathion detection. The IC50 value and the detection of limit were 1.96 mg/L and 0.179 mg/L, respectively, as shown in the standard curve. The tracers of PBM-EDF 2 and 3, which were chased from 4 PBM-EDF tracers, exhibited the good standard curves based on the MAb AZI-110. The FPIA constructed to analyze the azinphos-methyl showed the IC50 1.003 mg/L and detection limit 0.955 mg/L when PBM-EDF 2 was employed and the IC50 0.1487 mg/L and detection limit 0.150 mg/L were obtained when PBM-EDF 3 was used.

An immunoaffinity chromatography column was developed to remove diazinon from water and soil samples. In this paper, two types of absorbent columns, the immunoaffinity chromatography column and the ENVI-Carb column, were compared. To accomplish this, each of these columns was used to treat water and soil samples that had been spiked with diazinon at concentrations of 2.5 or 5 ng/mL (or ng/g). High performance liquid chromatography was then used to analyze the treated samples. The ENVI-Carb column recovered 87.99%-95.95% of the diazinon from water and soil with CVs of 5.08%-8.06%. The recoveries observed when the immunoaffinity chromatography column was used were slightly lower (52.61%-81.58%); however, it effectively clean up the soil samples.
