“…Magnetic bead based on immunoassay was first established in the 1980s because of the main advantages of increasing the surface area for immobilization of antibody or antigen, reducing the incubation time from hours to minutes, and improving sensitivity of the assay (Biagini et al, 2004;Moscoso, Kiefer, Kutlar, & Garver, 1988). Magnetic bead-based immunoassay was comprehensively applied in detection of macromolecular substances, such as β-bungarotoxin (Mu et al, 2014), β-casein allergen (Li et al, 2015;Song et al, 2014), enterobacter cloacae (Zhang, Zhou, Zhang, Zhang, & Su, 2016), pathogens, and cancer biomarkers (Baniukevic et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2016;Shukla, Lee, Song, Park, & Kim, 2016). However, the application of goldmag-based immunoassay in the quantification of α-LA content in milk has not been studied.…”
