Screening of Aflatoxin B1 in Food and Feed
The aflatoxins are a group of structurally related extremely
toxic compounds produced by some Aspergillus species.
Aflatoxins cause cancer, mainly of the liver but also of the
gut, lungs and breasts in human. In order to test for AFB1
analytical methods such as HPLC, GC-MS, LC-MS, ELISA and TLC
require trained personnel, laboratory environment, expensive
equipment and analytical time takes hours or days. The
Flow-Through Rapid Test kit offers rapidity and flexibility
for screening AFB1 under non-laboratory environments in
conformity to the EU regulations.
A Precise, and highy sensitive assay
The Flow-Through Rapid Test for AFB1 can detect AFB1 in
different matrices with sensitivities down to 2
ppb.
Sample Preparation
Food samples are prepared for analysis by simply shaking the
sample by hand in the presence of an extraction solution. An
aliquot of the supernatant is diluted and used in the assay.
Results within 10 minutes
