Zearalenone (ZEN) is a common carcinogenic toxin related to cereal contamination. In this study, we developed a high sensitivity quantum dot (QD)-based fluorescent quenching lateral flow assay (LFA) for sensitive ZEN detection. The linear detection range of the fluorescent quenching LFA for ZEN was 0.78-25 ng/mL, and the limit of detection was 0.58 ng/mL. In addition, the fluorescent quenching LFA showed high recovery (83.1-93.6%) for detection of ZEN concentrations spiked into corn samples. These results indicate that the QD-based fluorescent quenching LFA may be a valuable tool for preliminary screening of ZEN contamination.
玉米赤霉烯酮(ZEN)是一种与谷物污染有关的常见致癌毒素。在本研究中,我们开发了一种基于量子点(QD)的高灵敏度荧光猝灭侧向流动分析(LFA)方法,用于灵敏检测 ZEN。荧光猝灭 LFA 检测 ZEN 的线性检测范围为 0.78-25ng/mL,检测限为 0.58ng/mL。此外,荧光猝灭 LFA 对玉米样品中添加的 ZEN 浓度的检测回收率较高(83.1-93.6%)。这些结果表明,基于 QD 的荧光猝灭 LFA 可能是 ZEN 污染初步筛选的有用工具。
