Project Title: The Development of Flexible Dispense-Printed Electrochemical Biosensor for Aflotoxin M1 Detection.
Project Description: The project aims at the development of low-cost electrochemical biosensor for the detection of food toxicants (Mycotoxin, Heavy Metals and Antibiotic residuals) from food products. It mainly involves the following activities:
- Development of electrochemical, ion-selective membrane and molecularly imprinted polymer based biosensors.
- Detection of mycotoxin (AFM1 and OTA), heavy metal and antibiotic residuals from different food sources on a real-time basis.
- Low and improved limit of detection, high sensitivity and selectivity due to use of specific antibodies and selective membrane using nanomaterials.
