The lack of sensitivity and poor matrix tolerance are the main bottlenecks of the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA). Here, a sensitive and matrix-tolerant method that integrated immunomagnetic separation and fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay (IMS-FLFIA) based on fluorescent magnetic nanobeads was developed to detect the clenbuterol (CLE) residue in swine urine. The limit of detection (LOD) of IMS-FLFIA is 4 times lower than that of traditional colloidal gold LFIA. This method, which exhibits similar LOD and linearity range in both phosphate-buffered saline and urine swine, is highly correlated with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the detection of real swine urine samples. The result indicated that IMS-FLFIA has a universal resistance to the swine urine matrix. The merits of this assay, high sensitivity, matrix tolerance, accuracy, and specificity, ensure a promising future in detection of veterinary drug residues.
