An immunochromatography (ICG) strip test for rapid detection of atrazine in water samples wasdeveloped. A monoclonal antibody (MAb) specific to atrazine was produced from the cloned hybridomacell (AT-1-M3) and used to develop a direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DC-ELISA) and ICG strip. MAb conjugated to colloidal gold, and that was applied to the conjugate padof the ICG strip. The visual detection limit for the ICG strip was 3 ng/mL. This test required only 10min to get results and one step of sample to perform the assay. The results of water samples spikedwith 5, 10, 20, and 50 ng/mL of atrazine by ICG strip were in good agreement with those obtainedby DC-ELISA. The ICG strip was sufficiently sensitive and accurate to be useful for rapid screeningof atrazine in various water samples.
