Claim 0:
1. A method of lateral flow testing using a filtered solution, comprising
mixing a sample including analytes related to mycotoxins or metabolic products created therefrom with an extraction solution including a surfactant to create a slurry;
agitating or vortexing the slurry to create a foamy or frothy aerated slurry;
placing a porous frit adjacent to an outlet of a vessel, the vessel including a vessel body enclosing a volume, wherein a pore size of the porous frit is in a range from 50 to 700 micrometers;
placing the aerated slurry into the vessel;
applying a positive pressure to the volume to cause the aerated slurry to pass through the porous frit and become a filtered solution that exits the outlet, wherein the filtered solution includes analytes related to mycotoxins or metabolic products created therefrom; and
applying the filtered solution to a lateral flow testing device.
