Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is a plant growth inhibitor and fungicide, but it is also carcinogenic and teratogenic, and has potential harm to human health. In this study, two PBZ haptens (PBZ-1, PBZ-2) were synthesized and conjugated with carrier proteins to get artificial antigens. A highly specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) against PBZ was prepared. The antibody subtype was IgG₁ and the concentration was 11.03 mg/mL. A sensitive and rapid time-resolved fluorescence microsphere lateral flow immunoassay (TRFMs-LFIA) was established based on the mAb. The activated pH, the mAbs diluents, the mAb reacting concentration and the probe amount were optimized. The visual limit of detection (vLOD) and quantitative limit of detection (qLOD) of the TRFMs-LFIA for PBZ were 50 and 1.72 ng/mL respectively, and the 50% inhibiting concentration (IC₅₀) was 9.38 ng/mL. The pretreatment procedures are simple and rapid, and the detection time of TRFMs-LFIA strip is 6 min. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of PBZ could be achieved under a UV light or with a portable fluorescence immunoassay analyzer. The average recovery rates ranged from 96.2% to 111.9% and the corresponding coefficients of variation (CV) were 4.0%–11.2% in spiked wheat and rice samples. Twenty real wheat and rice samples were measured by the TRFMs-LFIA and compared with Ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The measured values showed a good accordance. These results indicated that the proposed assay will provide a novel effective strategy for on-site detection of PBZ.
