Ensuring safe and effective water treatment, distribution, and reuse requires robust methods
for characterizing and monitoring waterborne microbes. Methods widely used today can be …

A conceptually new type of enzymatic cleavage assay is reported that utilizes in situ
supramolecular capture of the fluorescent product. A squaraine-derived substrate with large …

The objective of this study was to develop a 1‐step simultaneous lateral flow strip test for the
rapid and simple detection of deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA) in grains. Two …

Background Oxidative stress refers to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Most assays for ROS detection are costly, laborious, and usually use indirect markers. The …

At small food processing facilities, the most frequently used test to determine if grain‐derived
mycotoxin concentrations are compliant with legal limits is the enzyme‐linked …

In order to meet the demands of an ever-increasing human population for animal products, it
is imperative that methods which allow for a more efficient production of animal resources, in …

Toxigenic fungi are constantly present and they can contaminate a wide range of agricultural
products both before and after harvest. In 1960 the discovery of aflatoxins in turkey feed in …

Biotin/(strept) avidin binding is a remarkable molecular recognition process in nature with
extraordinary high binding affinity (K a~ 10 15 M-1). Biotin/(strep) avidin self-assembly is a …

Exposure to mycotoxins through the food chain represents a major potential health hazard to
both humans and livestock. They can cause a variety of severe acute as well as chronic …
