Beijing Technology & Business University Reports Findings in Enterotoxins (Integrating lateral flow device with controllable gold in situ growth for sensitive detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin A in milk).

A study conducted by Beijing Technology & Business University in China introduced a novel method for detecting staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) in milk using a gold nanoparticle-based lateral flow immunoassay. The new method demonstrated superior sensitivity and practicality, with a detection limit of 0.061 ng/mL and a total detection time of 37 minutes. The research suggests that this innovative lateral flow device could be a valuable tool for in-field detection of Staphylococcus aureus and other foodborne pathogens, offering a promising strategy for enhancing food safety.
