Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of mycotoxin detection, and in particular relates to a method for simultaneously detecting ochratoxin (OTA) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) based on up-conversion fluorescence cyclic amplification. Background Art

[0002] Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites naturally produced by fungi during their growth. About 25% of food crops worldwide are infected to varying degrees. They enter the food chain mainly by contaminating the food people eat, thus causing serious impacts on human life and health. Mycotoxins often damage organs such as the liver, kidneys, and brain nervous system, causing symptoms of cirrhosis, liver cancer, acute and chronic nephritis, and bleeding in the central nervous system of the brain. Aflatoxin is the most toxic and harmful of all mycotoxins, and is therefore identified as a Class I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Ochratoxin is the most widely distributed in nature and is closely related to human life. It is often found in various foods, feeds, and other agricultural and sideline products, posing a huge threat to human health. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a scientific and feasible method for detecting mycotoxins.

[0003] At present, the main methods for mycotoxin detection include thin layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, high performance liquid phase mass spectrometry and immunoassay based on immune recognition. The thin layer chromatography method has complicated operation steps, low sensitivity and specificity, and can no longer meet the needs of modern detection. The commonly used chromatographic analysis method has complex and cumbersome sample pretreatment methods, and requires proficiency in instrument operation techniques, which is inconvenient for grassroots promotion. Although the immunoassay has the advantages of high sensitivity and strong specificity, it can only detect a single test, has poor repeatability and is expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method that is fast, convenient, highly sensitive, highly specific, low cost and can detect simultaneously. Summary of the invention
