DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF IMPROVED MATERIALS FOR MYCOTOXIN ANALYSIS

Objective

Develop novel synthetic and biologically-based materials for binding mycotoxins, including molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPS) and antibodies. Design and synthesis of toxin analogs for use as templates in polymer formation and as intermediates in antibody production. Evaluation of mycotoxin binding materials as components in traditional and novel mycotoxin assays. Development of analytical methods for enhanced food security.
