[Display omitted] • Novel aggregation-induced emission luminogens encoded microspheres were synthesized. • An anti-microcystin-LR antibody conjugated Sepharose gel column was prepared. • A fast and sensitive immunoaffinity chromatographic method was developed for microcystin-LR. Despite decades of efforts, we are faced with the daunting task of on-site ultratrace environmental toxins detecting, especially the microcystins caused by water bloom. In this work, a novel fluorescent microsphere-based flow-through immunoaffinity chromatographic assay has been designed for detecting ultratrace microcystin-LR in water and aquatic products. The aggregation-induced emission luminogens were encapsulated into fluorescent microspheres to ensure microcystin-LR quantitation with a whole analytical time of less than 30 min. Furthermore, the colorimetric images were captured and quantitatively analyzed, which offered a limit of detection at 0.217 pg/mL and a limit of quantitation at 0.362 pg/mL in water and aquatic muscle samples. The developed immunoassays provide average recovery ranging from 79.1 % to 95.7 %, with relative standard deviations less than 13.4 %. Thus, the validated flow-through immunoaffinity chromatographic assay is an easy-to-use alternative for on-site screening of microcystin-LR in water and aquatic samples at picogram levels.
