Abstract

Objectives: To fabricate a highly sensitive sandwich-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for the detection of OTA in corn and rice. Methods: To produce a sandwich LFIA, OTA toxin will be attached to BSA and converted into OTA-BSA. OTA-BSA is captured by both anti-BSA antibody on the conjugate pad and anti-OTA on the test line to form a sandwich structure. Results: The limits of LFIA for the detection were 4.0 µg/L for Ochratoxin A in Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) buffer, and the repeatability was 5/5 for 5 tested concentrations of OTA. The stability of LFIA was 3 months when it was stored at 4°C and 25°C. Conclusion: A sandwich-based LFIA for rapid detection of OTA in corn and rice was successfully developed.
