Over the past 10 years, great efforts on the development of methods for rapid mycotoxin detection in foodstuffs have been made. As one of the relatively new analytical techniques, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has been proven particularly advantageous for rapid, label-free, sensitive analyte detection. Using SPR, qualitative and quantitative analysis can be performed in real-time. Mycotoxins are a group of small, toxic products formed as secondary metabolites by a few fungal species. They can contaminate foodstuffs on a large scale and conseq...
