For simultaneously monitoring two classes of organophosphorus pesticide residues in food samples, a polyclonal antibody against a dual-generic hapten immunogen, which was prepared by conjugating two generic haptens (O,O-dimethyl thiophosphate hapten and O,O-diethyl phosphate hapten) to the same carrier protein BSA, was raised and used to develop a broad-specificity competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. With the optimized conditions, the developed immunoassay was able to detect 11 organothiophosphate pesticide and 5 organophosphate pesticide residues with detection limits of 0.018–0.135 μg/mL and 0.013–0.171 μg/mL, respectively. Recoveries of paraoxon-ethyl, fenamiphos, parathion-methyl, and fenthion from spiked samples ranged between 85.8 and 105.5 %. The results indicated that the immunoassay developed in this study is suitable for high-throughput screening of these low-molecular-weight contaminants in food samples.
