Deoxynivalenol (DON) toxin is a type B group of trichothecene mycotoxins mainly originating from specific Fusarium fungi, seriously harming human and livestock health. Herein, a novel core-shell up-conversion nanoparticles immunochromatographic assay (CS-UCNPs-ICA) was developed for deoxynivalenol based on the competitive reaction principle. By exploiting the fluorescence intensity of the T and C lines of CS-UCNPs-ICA, the concentrations of DON were obtained sensitively and precisely under optimized conditions in 5 min with a detection limit of 0.

Due to universal contamination and synergistic toxicity of multiple mycotoxins in foodstuff, reliable and high-throughput detection methods for multiple mycotoxins are urgently needed in corn products. In this study, a novel dual-channel immunochromatographic assay (ICA) based on improved up-conversion nanoparticles (IUCNPs) was developed for rapidly detecting aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN). The synthesized IUCNPs doped by 30% Lu showed a larger size, more regular structure, and brighter fluorescence intensity than conventional UCNPs.
