A fluorescent immunoassay for separate and simultaneous determination of penicillin ( PEN ) and sulphadimethoxine ( SDM ) in milk was developed. Monoclonal antibodies immobilised on carboxylic magnetic nanoparticles ( MNP s) were used. It was proved that the protein A ‐oriented immobilisation method ( OI ) provided a 1.5‐times more sensitive assay than the random immobilisation one ( RI ). The activation of MNP s with a mixture of N ‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl)‐ N ‐ethylcarbodiimide ( EDC ) and N ‐hydroxysuccinimide ( NHS ) ensured a five‐times higher sensitivity of immunoassay than the activation using EDC . The linearity of standard curves in milk was: 3/10 ng/mL PEN ( OI and RI ), 50/250 ng/mL SDM ( OI ), and 50/500 ng/mL SDM ( RI ).
