We developed a fluorescent aptasensor for label-free detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) based on TdT- and DNA polymerase-assisted multisite strand displacement amplification. This aptasensor exhibits good specificity and high sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.18 ng mL, and it can be further applied for the accurate quantification of OTA in complex real samples, holding promising applications in the field of food safety.

The serious contamination of ochratoxin A (OTA) in agricultural products has promoted the development of rapid, sensitive, and selective analytical methods for OTA monitoring. We demonstrated a competitive aptasensor for OTA detection using CRISPR/Cas12a as an effective signal amplifier. OTA competes with complementary DNA of the aptamer on the microplate to bind to the aptamer.

Background: Ochratoxin A (OTA) is toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi and can pose a serious threat to food safety and human health. Due to the high stability and toxicity, OTA contamination in agricultural products is of great concern. Therefore, the development of a highly sensitive and reliable OTA detection method is crucial to ensure food safety.

Fluorescence sensing is widely used in in vitro detection due to its high sensitivity and rapid result delivery. However, detection systems based on nanomaterials involving complex and cumbersome purification steps can lead to sample loss and significantly reduce the accuracy of the results. To address this issue, we proposed a lanthanide-based aptasensor featuring the target-triggered antenna effect to significantly enhance the time-resolved luminescence (TRL) of chelated Tb combined with a wash-free strategy.
