The use of small (with a diameter of 7–12 nm) superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles as carriers for antibodies in lateral flow immunoassay is considered. Increased total surface area for such suspension provides a concentration of analytes with an increase in their concentration up to 50 times. When the concentrated complexes were redissolved, aggregates with diameters of 100–500 nm were obtained, serving as colored markers in the assay. Further, magnetite–antibodies complexes are more tolerant to methanol (up to 30%) than native antibodies, thus providing minimal dilution of tested extracts. Lateral flow tests for mycotoxins zearalenone, T2-toxin, and aflatoxin B1 were developed and demonstrated applicability to control food products and raw materials.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a toxic compound naturally produced by the genera Aspergillus. Distillers’ grains can be used as animal feed since they have high content of crude protein and other nutrients. However, they are easily contaminated by mycotoxins, and currently there are no rapid detection methods for AFB1 in distillers’ grains. In this study, a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on red fluorescent microsphere (FM), is developed for quantitative detection of AFB1 in distillers’ grains. The whole test can be completed within 15 min, with the cut-off value being 25.0 μg/kg, and the quantitative limit of detection (qLOD) being 3.4 μg/kg. This method represents satisfactory recoveries of 95.2–113.0%, and the coefficients of variation (CVs) are less than 7.0%. Furthermore, this technique is successfully used to analyze AFB1 in real samples, and the results indicates good consistency with that of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The correlation coefficient is found to be greater than 0.99. The proposed test strip facilitates on-site, cost-effective, and sensitive monitoring of AFB1 in distillers’ grains.

In this study, highly fluorescent amino-functionalized CdSe/ZnS QDs coated with amphiphilic N-alkylated poly(ethyleneimine) have been synthesized and applied as fluorescent probes in LFIA strips for on-site determination of AFB1.

Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites mostly produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus and found in agricultural foodstuff such as maize grains, peanuts, animal feeds,... These are toxic and cancerous agents for humans and animals. Among them, aflatoxin B1 is the most consideration due to its highest toxicity and presence in samples. Several methods were developed to detect aflatoxin in food, feed and other foodstuffs such as chromatographic methods (TLC, HPTLC, HPLC), LC-MS/MS, FTIR, RIA, ELISA, SPR, electrochemical, and immunodipstick. Among them only immunodipstick method is compatible for field usage. Therefore, aim of the present study is to determine optimal condition for conjugation of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to develop a lateral flow immunoassay test strip for detection of aflatoxin B1. Optimal conditions for generating mediate compound of aflatoxin B1 – CMO was investigated: AFB1:CMO ratio of 1:2, reflux temperature of 100oC for 2 hours. Concentration of aflatoxin B1 in reaction was 0.27 µg/µl. Conjugation of AFB1 with CMO was confirmed by thin layer chromatography, HPLC and FT-IR methods. Furthermore, optimal conditions for conjugation of mediate AFB1-CMO derivative with BSA were also investigated. Ratio of AFB1-CMO with BSA was determined as 40:1 and equal to predicted theoretical ratio. Efficient conjugation conditions were 25oC for 2 hours in bicarbonate buffer pH 9.5. Generated conjugate of AFB1-BSA was successfully applied to construct a lateral flow immunoassay test strip for detection of aflatoxin B1
