LABEL-FREE IMMUNOSENSOR
FOR HERBICIDE TRIFLURALIN DETECTION
using OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE LIGHTMODE SPECTROSCOPY (OWLS) detection
Abstract CH3 CH2 H2C CH2 CH2 CH3
N
Acting as a potent microtubule inhibitor, the dinitroaniline herbicide trifluralin has been used in
O2N NO2
agricultural applications as a selective, pre-emergence herbicide in various plant cultures
including grain, crops, vegetables, fruits and nuts. In recent years, the compound is a subject to
increasing toxicological and environmental concerns. OWLS offered a highly sensitive label-
free method to develop immobilized antigen-BSA conjugate based competitive immunosensor. CF3
