A facile and universal strategy for multiplexed immunoassay is proposed. The strategy is based on microchip electrophoresis (MCE) coupled with on-line magnetic separation and chemiluminescence (CL) detection. The system consisted of a microchip, an electromagnet, and a photomultiplier. The realization of multiplexed immunoassay protocol involves sampling magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) labeled antibodies, N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethyl-isoluminol (ABEI) labeled antigens and free antigens in the precolumn reactor, on-line immunoreaction, capturing the MNPs-immunocomplexes, and the separation of unconjugated ABEI-labeled antigens. After on-line magnetic separation, the free ABEI-labeled antigens were transported into the separation channel, and mixed with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence of horseradish peroxidase in the postcolumn reactor, and producing CL emission. Using this arrangement, multiple analytes could be measured simultaneously by performing the technical operations for a single assay. As a proof-of-concept, the multiplexed immunoassay was evaluated for the simultaneous determination of five model analytes (i.e. hydrocortisone, corticosterone, digoxin, testosterone, and estriol). The results exhibited excellent precision and sensitivity, the relative standard deviations for nine times detection were lower than 4.7% for all the five components, and the detection limits of five analytes were in the range of 3.64.9 nM. The MCE system was validated using two human serum-based control samples containing five analytes.
