Abstract:
      Based on a polyclonal antibody targeting diethyl phthalate(DEP), a sensitive indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was proposed and several parameters were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the developed method showed high sensitivity to DEP(the limit of detection, 8.2 ng·mL-1) and high selectivity with cross-reactivities less than 4.29% to seven structurally related phthalate esters. The linear range was from 20 ng·mL-1 to 320 ng·mL-1. The recoveries(90.46%~122.75%) and reproducibility(CV of intra-assay,3.38%~9.09%; CV of inter-assay, 3.76%~12.78%) were satisfactory. Our proposed ELISA indicated that it had good agreement with those given by GC-MS, which was applied to detect DEP in waters and sediments from ancient canal and Yunliang River. And DEP was found in most of target areas(the detection rate, 62.5% in waters and 87.5% in sediments), the concentration was up to 6.61 ng·mL-1 and 86.9 ng·g-1 in water and sediments, respectively.
