The kit gives good results for wheat and to a lesserextent for oats, but struggles with winter barley.Table 62: Detection limit for three matricesWheat Winter Barley OatsN 9 9 9Degrees freedom 8 8 8t (95%) 2.310 2.310 2.310SD (ng/g) 0.197 0.265 0.242Q1 (ng/g) 0.197 0.265 0.242Q3 (ng/g) 0.239 1.665 1.153Mean (ng/g) 0.714 1.524 1.030∆xmin (ng/g) 0.480 0.645 0.590Detection limit (ng/g) 1.194 2.169 1.6204.4.6 ConclusionsCross-reactivity with OTB was observed with this kit, it is incapable of differentiating between OTA and OTB.Matrix effects leading to possible false negatives were observed.4-58 Experimental evaluation | CODA-CERVA
