A molecularly imprinted polymer based a lab-on-paper chemiluminescence device for the detection of dichlorvos

• The MIP layer against dichlorvos (DDV) was synthesized and adsorbed on the paper.
• The paper-based device was fabricated by a low-cost cutting method.
• DDV can greatly enhance the CL signal of luminol-H2O2 system.
• The detection limit for DDV was 0.8 ng mL−1.

In this work, a new molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) based lab-on-paper device with chemiluminescence (CL) detection of dichlorvos (DDV) was designed. With the circle-shaped device, the MIP layer with certain depth was synthesized and adsorbed on the paper surface and DDV can be selectively imprinted on it. The adsorption and washing procedures can be achieved well on the paper-based chip. The paper-based device was fabricated by a simple cutting method and many chips can be made at the same time. On the basis of DDV enhancing CL of luminol-H2O2 greatly, the proposed MIP based lab-on-paper CL device showed better selectivity to DDV and it has been applied to the determination of DDV in vegetables in the range of 3.0 ng/mL–1.0 μg/mL with the detection limit of 0.8 ng/mL. This study has made a successful attempt in the development of highly selective and sensitive monitoring of DDV in real samples and will provide a new approach for sensitive and specific assay in environmental monitoring.
