Competitive electrochemical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays based on disposable screen-printed electrodes have been developed for quantitative determination of ochratoxin A (OTA). The assays were carried out using monoclonal antibodies in the direct and indirect format. OTA working range, 150 and detection limits were 0.05-2.5 and 0.1-7.5 mu g L-1, 0.35 (+/- 0.04) mu g L-1 and 0.9 (+/- 0.1) mu g L-1, 60 and 100 mu g L-1 in the direct and indirect assay format, respectively. The immunosensor in the direct format was selected for the determination of OTA in wheat. Samples were extracted with aqueous acetonitrile and the extract analyzed directly by the assay without clean-up. The 150 in real samples was 0.2 mu g L-1 corresponding to 1.6 mu g/kg in the wheat sample with a detection limit of 0.4 mu g/kg (calculated as blank signal -3 sigma). Within- and between-assay variability were less than 5 and 10%, respectively. A good correlation (r = 0.9992) was found by comparative analysis of naturally contaminated wheat samples using this assay and an HPLC/immunoaffinity clean-up method based on the AOAC Official Method 2000.03 for the determination of OTA in barley.
