Highly Sensitive Dual-Mode Sensor Using CRISPR/Cas12a for Detecting the Toxin Deoxynivalenol Without DNA Amplification

Updated

Abstract

The CRISPR/Cas12a-based biosensor achieved a colorimetric limit of detection for deoxynivalenol (DON) of 2.15 × 10 ng/mL.

  • The developed multimodal integrated reporter allows dual-mode signal output through a single reporter system.
  • In the presence of DON, the biosensor activates and cleaves single-stranded DNA, restoring fluorescence signal.
  • The fluorescence limit of detection for DON was determined to be 7.96 × 10 ng/mL.
  • Successful application in real samples showed average recovery rates between 96.4% and 104.4% for both detection methods.
  • The CrisprFU system may be adaptable for detecting other analytes by changing the recognition antibody.
