OchraVine Control Project article in Scientific Reports Journal

In this study, the development of novel detection and on-line monitoring approaches for the detection of OTA in the field (i.e. out of the chemical laboratory) using advanced molecular sensing was investigated. Both stand-alone and hyphenated mass spectrometry (MS) based systems (e.g. Time-of-Flight ToF–MS and gas chromatography GC combined with MS) and compact portable membrane…
