In this work, high affinity polyclonal antibodies for ribavirin (RBV) from new haptens were prepared and were used to analyse RBV residues in chicken muscle, eggs and duck muscle. The new haptens were synthesised with different spacers, and the best antibody was obtained with an IC50 value as low as 0.61 ng/mL in indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The cross-reactivities with another five antiviral drugs including amantadine, rimantadine, moroxydine, zanamivir and oseltamivir were less than 0.1%, which indicated the good specificity of the antibody. An ELISA was developed based on the antibody and applied to detect RBV in multi-food matrices. The sample preparation prior to detection only needed simple dilution after trichloroacetic acid extraction. The limits of detection were 1.07, 1.18 and 1.03 mu g/kg in chicken muscle, eggs and duck muscle, respectively. Recoveries ranged from 89.0% to 112.7% with coefficients of variation below 13.0%. Ten blind samples of chicken muscle were analysed simultaneously by ELISA and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and a good correlation between the methods was observed. The results indicated that the high affinity antibody could be applied for the simple and fast detection of RBV in multi-food matrices.
