Immunochemical methods for rapid mycotoxin detection: evolution from single to multiple analyte screening: a review

Food Addit Contam. 2007 Oct;24(10):1169-83. doi: 10.1080/02652030701557179.

Abstract

This review focuses on recent developments in immunochemical methods for detection of mycotoxins, with a particular emphasis on simultaneous multiple analyte determination. This includes high-throughput instrumental analysis for the laboratory environment (microtitre plate enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA), different kinds of immunosensors, fluorescence polarization immunoassay, and capillary electrophoretic immunoassay), as well as rapid visual tests for on-site testing (lateral-flow, dipstick, flow-through and column tests). For each type of immunoassay, perspectives for multiple analyte application are discussed and examples cited.
