    Abstract:
    Gel-based and membrane-based flow-through immunoassay formats were investigated for rapid ochratoxin A (OTA) detection in red wine. The flow-through set-up consisted of an antibody containing gel or membrane placed at the bottom of a standard solid-phase extraction column (i.e. the flow-through column), combined with a clean-up column. Different clean-up methods were studied for red wine clarification and purification. The optimal method consisted of passing wine, diluted with an aqueous solution containing 1% polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) and 5% sodium hydrogencarbonate, through strong anion exchange (SAX) silica. An immunoassay for OTA detection in red wine was optimized and a cut-off level at 2 microg L(-1) according to EU legislation was achieved with both formats. A more significant colour difference between blank and spiked samples was observed for the gel-based assay making this superior to the membrane-based assay. The proposed rapid gel-based test was compared with a standard immunoaffinity column-high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescent detection (IAC-HPLC-FLD) method and a good correlation of the results was obtained for naturally contaminated wine samples.
