It is of great importance to overcome potential incompatibility problems between dyestuffs and antibodies (mAbs) for extensive commercial application of a dyestuff-chemistry-based ultrafast colorimetric lateral flow immunoassay (cLFIA). Herein, inspired by traditional staining technologies, a basic dyestuff gallocyanine (GC)-assisted biogenic "potential scalpel"-based cLFIA (GC-ABPS-based cLFIA) by employing clenbuterol (CLE) as proof-of-concept was proposed to solve a high degree of incompatibility between the same potential dyestuffs and mAbs. Goat antimouse immunoglobulin (Ab 2 ) could serve as the "potential scalpel" to form the positive potential value biomolecular network self-assemblers (BNSA) with anti-CLE mAbs (Ab CLE ) by noncovalent force. The cLFIA completed the entire detection process from de novo to detection results within 30 min thanks to the easy availability and ideal marking efficiency (≤1 min, saving 0.4−10 h) of GC. Encouragingly, the proposed ultrafast GC-ABPSbased cLFIA has also exhibited high sensitivity (0.411 ng mL −1 ) and low cost (300 times) compared with other cLFIAs. Also, the feasibility of the proposed cLFIA was demonstrated by detecting CLE in beef, pork ham, and skim milk. Finally, the proposed GC-ABPS-based cLFIA has broadened the application range of dyestuffs and provided an effective reference strategy for the application of dyestuffs in food safety monitoring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
