    Abstract:
    On-site screening of biotoxins is of great importance for food safety. A new electrochemical-biosensing strategy was constructed for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection by direct using ready-made commercial portable-glucose-meter (PGM). Aptamer against OTA was adopted as the recognition probe and pre-immobilized onto the sensing interface. The complementary biotin-modified probe was further decorated by hybridization. Biotinylated invertase was further introduced onto the sensing system with streptavidin, which also acted as the signal amplification unit. The invertase, which was depended on the amount of OTA, produced the glucose from sucrose in the sensing solution. The glucose could be directly and conveniently measured with PGM. Quantitative analysis of OTA was achieved with a linear range from 0.5 ng/mL to 10 ng/mL and detection limit of 0.45 ng/mL. Of significance, it has been successfully applied for OTA analysis in rice with satisfied recoveries. This unique PGM-based electrochemical platform reveals prospective potential in food safety monitoring.
