Description
Summary:The assurance of food safety requires sensitive monitoring of multiple mycotoxins due to their severe impacts on the food industry and high health risks posed to consumers. Herein, we proposed a chemiluminescent/colorimetric dual-signal readout microfluidic method, incorporating a streptavidin-biotin-alkaline phosphatase (SA-Biotin-ALP) signal amplification system for the highly sensitive detection of Deoxynivalenol (DON), Ochratoxin A (OTA), and Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay (ic-ELISA) was integrated into microfluidic chip, resulting in sensitive detection ranges of DON in the range of 4–128 ng/mL, 2–64 ng/mL for OTA, and 0.2–6.4 ng/mL for AFB1, with the limit of detection (LOD) being 2.636 ng/mL, 1.492 ng/mL, and 0.131 ng/mL, respectively. Recovery rates in beer samples ranged from 91.93% to 109.31%. Furthermore, a dual-mode microfluidic workstation (DMMW) was developed to facilitate rapid, automated detection for these mycotoxins, simplifying the detection procedure, enhancing the detection efficiency, and reducing the requirement for specialized personnel, thus confirming significant potential for the rapid detection of mycotoxins in complex matrices such as beer.
