Abstract: An electrochemical immunosensor based on graphene-chitosan composites was established to detect florfenicol residues in animal-derived foods. A linear relationship between the peak current and the concentration of florfenicol was observed in the range of 1–1 000 ng/mL and the detection limit (RSN = 3) was 0.08 ng/mL. The immunosensor displayed good selectivity, specificity and stability. The average recoveries from pork, beef, chicken and egg samples spiked at concentration levels of 10, 100 and 1 000 μg/kg ranged from 76.90% to 94.30%. The reliability of the electrochemical method was confirmed by a high correlation between it and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The established immunosensor method was accurate and reliable and could be applied to the on-site detection of massive samples.
