Rapid analyte measurement platform (RAMPTM) fluorogenic hand-held immunoassays (HHAs) were evaluated for inclusivity/sensitivity, exclusivity/specificity, sample matrix effects, ruggedness/stability, and reproducibility in detection of ricin (RCA60), a potential biological threat agent. The limit of detection of HHAs for RCA60 was 14 ng/mL or approximately 140 pg/test. HHAs were inclusive in detection of ricin RCA60, RCA120, ricin A chain, and ricin B chain and exclusive in discrimination of RCA60 from other toxins. None of the sample matrices tested affected assay performance. RAMPTM ratios were tolerant of increases in sample volume, however, a decrease in sample volume of 25% resulted in significantly increased readings. RAMPTM readings were highly reproducible lot- to-lot,cartridge-to-cartridge, day-to-day, and reader-to-reader.
