Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) contaminates various complex matrices, necessitating straightforward, effective cleanup and precise detection methods. This study employed immunomagnetic beads for sample purification and utilized a competitive time-resolved fluoro-immuno-chromatographic assay to achieve quantitative detection of DON in corn and its by-products. The limits of detection and quantification were 104 μg/kg and 243 μg/kg, respectively. Significant cross-reactivity was absent with most common toxins, except for 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, which exhibited a cross-reaction rate of 3167%. The recovery rates ranged from 86% to 117%, with coefficients of variation between 6.9% and 9.5%. The correlation coefficient with HPLC was 0.977. This method is rapid, accurate, and requires no large-scale equipment, facilitating on-site detection directly.
