Abstract:
The persistence of T-2 toxin in food and feed matrices renders it a pervasive contaminant, impacting both human and animal health. Traditional detection methods suffer from cumbersome instrumentation and intricate procedures, rendering on-site detection of T-2 toxin unfeasible. Therefore, we have constructed a real-time detection method for T-2 toxin detection by employing a target-responsive DNA hydrogel in conjunction with potassium iodide starch test paper. This method integrates both colorimetric and distance-based signal outputs, offering a streamlined and effective approach for the on-site detection of T-2 toxin. The specific binding of the target to the aptamer in the DNA hydrogel results in the collapse of the hydrogels structure, which changes the viscosity of the system and released horseradish peroxidase in the hydrogel wrapped, and then produces blue-purple marks of different lengths on the starch iodide papers to achieve the specific detection of T-2 toxin. Under optimized conditions, the assay exhibits a detection range spanning from 10 ng/mL to 10 mg/mL for the toxin, with a detection limit of 12.83 ng/mL. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the detection of real corn samples with satisfied result. Such colorimetric-distance dual signal detection method offers notable advantages, including straightforward operation, clear signal interpretation, and practical utility. Its implementation enables rapid, on-the-spot detection of T-2 toxin, particularly beneficial in resource-limited regions and less developed countries.
