Area of Science:

Food Science
Analytical Chemistry
Mycotoxin Analysis

Background:

Deoxynivalenol (DON), or vomitoxin, is a prevalent mycotoxin in cereal grains.
Accurate quantification of DON is crucial for food safety and regulatory compliance.
Existing methods may require complex sample preparation and matrix-specific calibrations.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a modified QuickTox Kit for QuickScan DON assay for quantitative determination of deoxynivalenol residues.
To support the Performance Tested Method (PTM) modification for improved usability and performance.
To validate the new assay's performance across various cereal matrices.

Main Methods:

Utilized lateral flow technology with a reader-based system for DON quantification.
Employed modified device architecture with identical biological reagents to the previous PTM.
Implemented a single calibration curve and varied extraction volumes for diverse sample types, with filtration for extract clarification.
Modified the assay procedure to include a five-fold offline dilution and a 3-minute strip development time.

Main Results:

Demonstrated high linearity with R2 > 0.97 in dose-dependent correlation.
Confirmed selectivity, detecting DON and related compounds like acetyl derivatives, glucoside-conjugate, and Nivalenol.
Showcased robustness with consistent results across varied user interface parameters.
Achieved acceptable lot-to-lot consistency across five manufactured lots.
Validated performance in internal and third-party matrix studies.

Conclusions:

The modified QuickScan DON assay provides a reliable and simplified method for accurate deoxynivalenol quantification in cereal grains.
The assay demonstrates excellent performance characteristics, including linearity, robustness, selectivity, and consistency.
This enhanced assay is suitable for routine monitoring of deoxynivalenol residues in various commodity types.
