Description The catalyzed reporter deposition (CARD) method
of signal amplification, also called “tyramide signal
amplification”, has been used in immunoassays not only to
increase sensitivity but also to reduce assay time. The
current approach to tyramide amplification in immunoassays
involves slow incubation with agitation. In this
paper we describe new filtration-based tyramide amplification and substrate visualization techniques. Compared with the standard method, this new approach greatly enhances spot intensities in membrane immunoassay and reduces biotinylated tyramide (B-T) and substrate consumption approximately fiftyfold, without loss of specificity. An improved test device and a cost-effective method for preparation of membranes for Super-CARD amplification have also been developed. The techniques have been used for rapid detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in a variety of foodstuffs with a detection limit of 12.5 μg kg−1. The assay procedure involves sequential addition of standards or sample, AFB1–horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate, B-T, avidin–HRP, and substrate solution over anti-AFB1 antibody-spotted zones of the membrane surface. The method saves time, improves reproducibility, eliminates
many washing steps and avoids manipulation of the
membranes between the different steps, while maintaining
the sensitivity of the standard method. Average recoveries
from different non-infected food samples spiked with AFB1
at concentrations from 25 to 100 mg kg−1 were between 95
and 105%. AFB1 results obtained on different days for Aspergillus parasiticus infection of corn and groundnut
samples correlated well with estimates obtained by HPLC.
