Conditions: a duplicate sampling of the same final ID-LFIA dissociation solution in DART-QqQ-MS/MS. SD is the standard deviation of the duplicate measurements. The screening result was performed with the smartphone r-Biopharm LFIA, and the quantification of the screening was done with the associated smartphone app. SD is the standard deviation of duplicate reading of the same LFIA. The expected mg/kg is the concentration estimate calculated from each day’s calibration curve based on the response factor (mean ratio of DON MRM product ion at m/z 249.2 to the 13C15 DON MRM product ion at m/z 263.2). The DON ion ratio is the mean ratio of the absolute area of the DON MRM product ion at m/z 231.1 to the area of the ion at m/z 249.2.
