A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for detection of the pyrethroid insecticide cyhalothrin. Three haptens with an amine or propanoic acid terminus were synthesized and then conjugated with bovine serum albumin to give immunogens. Eight polyclonal antisera produced by rabbits were screened for titers and affinity using three different coating antigens. The antiserum CWB-C had the highest affinity with cyhalothrin and a low affinity with fenvalerate, fenpropathrin, deltamethrin, and fluvalinate. The half-maximum inhibition concentration for cyhalothrin was 37.2 μg/L, and the limit of detection was 4.7 μg/L. The recoveries of different concentrations of cyhalothrin (0.1-2500 μg/L) from fortified tap water, well water, and wastewater samples as determined with the ELISA were 81-114%.

A competitive enayme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the quantitative detection of fenpropathrin [(RS)-α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl-2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropanecarboxylate]. Polyclonal antisera were isolated from rabbits immunized with two different fenpropathrin hapten conjugates. One hapten contained an amino function; the other contained a carboxyl group for conjugation to carrier proteins. Mollusk hemocyanins, thyroglobulin, and fetuin were used as carrier proteins. The antisera varied greatly in their affinities for fenpropathrin. A homologous assay system using the coating antigen format was the most sensitive. The IC50 for fenpropathrin was 20 μg/L, and the lower detection limit was 2.5 μg/L. Pyrethroids, such as phenothrin, permethrin, resmethrin, fenvalerate, deltamethrin, cyfluthrin, and cypermethrin, and the pyrethroid metabolites, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid and fenpropathrin acid, did not cross-react significantly in this assay. Ten percent acetone or methanol and a pH of 4 were determined to be optimum assay conditions. Various cationic, anionic, and nonionic detergents had no significant effect on the assay.
