Portable detection of multiple mycotoxins based on a sonic toothbrush, microfluidic chip and smartphone

A portable method for on-site detection of three mycotoxins was developed based on a sonic toothbrush, microfluidic chip and smartphone. Our method could complete all procedures, including sample pretreatment, signal conversion and processing, without any sophisticated instruments. The limits of detection for these mycotoxins were lower than the limit values in cereals in the standards of China and the European Union.
