Development of a point of care (POC) test as an immunobiosensor for okadaic acid detection in mussels by E. Daniso, P. Melpignano, M. Cocchi, S. Susmel, F. Tulli

“…In addition to the analysis performed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), reference method in EU, semiquantitative rapid tests for preliminary screening and rapid monitoring plan are applied.Different kits for the detection of DTX family toxins are available on the market, but they require specialised labs and the cost of the analysis per sample is quite high. Based on the current situation, developing an easy-to-use and cheap test for measuring okadaic acid, as the main responsible for DSP poisoning, for the implementation of point-of-care (POC) systems is desirable. …”
