Abstract: | A rapid easy-to-use immunoassay was optimised for the non-instrumental detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) in beer. The analytical
method involves preconcentration on the immunoaffinity layer inside a column followed by direct competitive ELISA detection
in the same layer. The visual cut-off value, i.e. the lowest OTA concentration resulting in no colour development, was 0.2 μg
L-1. Assay validation was performed using samples spiked with OTA. Thirty-seven naturally contaminated samples were screened
with the gel-based method developed and no false-negative results were obtained. The method described offers a simple, rapid
and cost-effective screening tool, thus contributing to better health protection of consumers.
