However, the existing challenges are the unsatisfied sensitivity of the immunoassay methods and the complex matrix effect. Rolling circle amplification (RCA) is a promising method for nucleic acid isothermal amplification due to its high specificity and sensitivity. Herein, we constructed a general RCA-based point-of-care test method (RCA\u2212POCT). With biotinylated antibodies, streptavidin, and biotinylated RCA primers, we realized the signal transduction and preliminary signal amplification. In this way, the fluorescent signal of the immunocomplex on the microwells was greatly enhanced. Under optimal conditions, we recorded sensitive detection limits for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) of 1.94, 16.3, and 37.7 fg\/mL (femtogram per microliter), and wide linear ranges with 5 \u00d7 10\u22126 to 5, 5 \u00d7 10\u22125 to 5, and 5 \u00d7 10\u22125 to 5 ng\/mL in the irrigation water, field soil, and peanut samples, respectively. Satisfactory recovery, specificity, repeatability, and reproducibility were observed. The RCA\u2212POCT was validated by comparing it to the HPLC method. This work provides a general RCA-assisted detection method for AFB1 in the environment and food.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods13193188","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]],"date-time":"2024-10-07T10:58:32Z","timestamp":1728298712000},"page":"3188","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Rolling Circle Amplification-Enabled Ultrasensitive Point-of-Care Test Method for Aflatoxin B1 in the Environment and Food"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Hongyu","family":"Duan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Biology and Genetic Improvement of Oil Crops, Hubei Hongshan Lab, Oil Crops Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Biology and Genetic Improvement of Oil Crops, Hubei Hongshan Lab, Oil Crops Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaofeng","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Biology and Genetic Improvement of Oil Crops, Hubei Hongshan Lab, Oil Crops Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5794-0218","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meijuan","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Biology and Genetic Improvement of Oil Crops, Hubei Hongshan Lab, Oil Crops Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianglong","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Biology and Genetic Improvement of Oil Crops, Hubei Hongshan Lab, Oil Crops Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6879-8336","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Li","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Biology and Genetic Improvement of Oil Crops, Hubei Hongshan Lab, Oil Crops Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Behrouz Tajdar","family":"Oranj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Environmental Determinants of Health (RCEDH), Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Kermanshah 67146, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1741-0316","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valentin","family":"Romanovski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Functional Nano-Ceramics, National University of Science and Technology MISIS, Moscow 101000, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peiwu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Biology and Genetic Improvement of Oil Crops, Hubei Hongshan Lab, Oil Crops Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6686-2995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhaowei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Biology and Genetic Improvement of Oil Crops, Hubei Hongshan Lab, Oil Crops Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12491","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.chemrev.5b00428","article-title":"Isothermal Amplification of Nucleic Acids","volume":"115","author":"Zhao","year":"2015","journal-title":"Chem.
