Abstract:In this experiment, the 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole hapten was synthesized, which was used to prepare the immune antigen and envelope antigen, with activated ester method to link to a carrier protein. And the hapten was identified. With the antigen prepared 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole common antibody,the ELISA of 5 kinds of nitroimidazoles was established. The results showed that: An antiserum with titer of 1:100 000 was prepared and an ELISA for simultaneously detection of multi-residues of nitroimidazoles in foods of animal origin and recovery of 85.65%-108.459% had been established, the LOD was as low as 1.9×10-4mg·L-1. The cross-reaction rates to 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole, metronidazole, tinidazole, dimetridazole and Secnidazole were above 95%. This study provided the technological base to the fast testing of veterinary drug residues in foods of animal origin.
