Screening of Total Aflatoxin 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 Total Aflatoxins
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 Total
Aflatoxin under non-laboratory environments in
conformity to the EU regulations.
A Precise, and highly sensitive assay
The Flow-Through Rapid Test for Total Aflatoxin can
detect Aflatoxins in different matrices with
sensitivities down to 5 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.
