Abstract

Detecting and quantifying mycotoxins using LFIA are challenging due to the need for high sensitivity and accuracy. To address this, a dual-mode colorimetric-SERS LFIA was developed for detecting deoxynivalenol (DON). Rhodium nanocores provided strong plasmonic properties as the SERS substrate, while silver nanoparticles created electromagnetic “hotspots” to enhance signal sensitivity. Finite element modeling optimized the electromagnetic field intensity, and Prussian blue generated a distinct signal at 2156 cm–1, effectively reducing background interference. This dual-mode LFIA achieved a detection limit of 4.21 pg/mL, 37 times lower than that of colloidal gold-based LFIA (0.156 ng/mL). Machine learning…
