Lateral flow assay applied to pesticides detection: recent trends and progress.


ABSTRACT: Devices based on lateral flow assay (LFA) have been gaining more and more space in the detection market mainly due to their simplicity, speed, and low cost. These devices have excellent sensing format versatility and make these strips an ideal choice for field applications. The COVID-19 pandemic boosted the democratization of this method as a "point of care testing" (POCT), and the trend is that these devices become protagonists for the monitoring of pesticides in the environment. However, designing LFA devices for detecting and monitoring pesticides in the environment is still a challenge. This is because analytes are small molecules and have only one antigenic determinant, which makes it difficult to apply direct immunoassays. Furthermore, most LFA devices provide only qualitative or semi-quantitative results and have a limited number of applications in multi-residue analysis. Here, we present the state of the art on the use of LFA in the environmental monitoring of pesticides. Based on well-documented results, we review all available LFA formats and strategies for pesticide detection, which may have important implications for the future of monitoring pesticides in the environment. The main advances, challenges, and perspectives of these devices for a direction in this field of study are also presented.
