Optoelectronic System for Mycotoxin Detection in Food Quality Control

Here, we report on the design, fabrication, and characterization of a prototype of a portable detection system, able to determine if the contamination level of Ochratoxin A (OTA) is below or above the limit imposed by the EU Commission for a specific food. The operating principle of the system is the real-time monitoring of a chromatographic run when an extract of the sample under analysis is spot...
