Abstract An aptasensor for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) in environmental samples was developed. It displayed high sensitivity and good selectivity. Factors such as specific binding between a FAM (5-carboxyfluorescein)-labeled aptamer (f-RP) and OTA, and a magnetic property of a streptavidin magbeads-modified capture probe (bm-CP) resulted in aptasensor’s linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and the concentration of OTA. This characteristic is present at the OTA concentration ranges from 0.100 μM to 25.00 μM with a LOD (limit of detection) of 0.0690 μM. The bm-CP can be reused through melting, washing and magnetic separation, which contributes to cost reduction. In addition, the proposed method is simple and detection process is fast. The aptasensor can be used in real samples.
