FROM SMARTPHONE LATERAL FLOW IMMUNOASSAY SCREENING TO DIRECT MS ANALYSIS: DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A SEMI-QUANTITATIVE DIRECT ANALYSIS IN REAL-TIME MASS SPECTROMETRIC (DART-MS) APPROACH TO THE ANALYSIS OF DEOXYNIVALENOL

In current food safety monitoring, lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) are widely used for rapid food contaminant screening.Recent advances include smartphone readouts, offering semi-quantitative analysis of LFIAs with time, location, and data transfer in case of on-site testing.Following the screening, the next step in the EU regulations is confirma

Agricultural pesticides are key contributors to pollinator decline worldwide.However, methods for quantifying impacts associated with pollinator exposure to pesticides are currently missing in comparative risk screening, chemical substitution and prioritization, and life cycle impact assessment methods.To address this gap, we developed a method for
