{Abstract}: Bisphenol S (BPS) is a common pollutant in the environment and has posed a potential threat to aquatic animals and human health. To accurately assess the pollution level and ecological risk of BPS, there is an urgent need to establish simple and sensitive detection methods for BPS. In this study, BPS complete antigen was successfully prepared by introducing methyl 4-bromobutyrate and coupling bovine serum albumin (BSA). The monoclonal antibody against BPS (anti-BPS mAb) with high affinity (1: 256,000) was developed based on the BPS complete antigen, which showed low cross-reactivity with BPS structural analogues. Then, an electrochemical immunosensor was constructed to detect BPS using multi-walled carbon nanotubes and gold nanoflower composites as signal amplification elements and using anti-BPS mAb as the probe. The electrochemical immunosensor had a linear range from 1 to 250 ng⋅mL-1 and a limit of detection (LOD) down to 0.6 ng⋅mL-1. Additionally, a more stable and sensitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for BPS was developed based on iridium oxide nanoparticles, with a visual detection limit of 1 ng⋅mL-1, which was 10 times lower than that of classical Au-NPs LFIA. After evaluation of their stability and specificity, the reliability of these two methods were further validated by measuring BPS concentrations in the water and fish tissues. Thus, this study provides sensitive, robust and rapid methods for the detection of BPS in the environment and organisms, which can provide a methodological reference for monitoring environmental contaminants.
