Fluorescently labelled immunochemical approaches, based on noncadmium quantum dots, for the characterization of mycotoxin exposure in human urine Ghent University
The assessment of mycotoxin exposure can be performed either indirectly or directly. The former comprises the combination of recorded mycotoxin dietary occurrence data correlated with population data on food consumption. The latter method involves the detecting of mycotoxins biotransformation products, so called biomarkers, in biological fluids such as urine. Up to now detection of mycotoxin biomarkers was realized only by LC-MS/MS ...
