AflaCheck Kit (25 Tests) - qualitative test for aflatoxins

VICAM’s AflaCheck™ is a qualitative one-step test kit for the detection of aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a Group 1 carcinogen proven to cause cancer in humans. In the United States and abroad, aflatoxin levels in food and grain are subject to strict regulations. The European Union has established regulations for aflatoxin in groundnuts; tree nuts, such as almonds and pistachios; dried fruits; spices; and cereals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has instituted maximum levels for aflatoxin in many commodities, including grains and groundnuts.

AflaCheck Test Strips provide fast, accurate, on-the-spot results for the presence of aflatoxin at detection levels of either 10 ppb or 20 ppb. AflaCheck offers the option of two testing procedures to meet your specific needs.

AflaCheck is easy to use and provides reliable results in as little as 3 minutes, works in the field or in the lab, and does not require the use of expensive equipment. Simply dip the test strip into the sample and read results. Used alone, or in conjunction with VICAM quantitative immunoaffinity columns, AflaCheck is an ideal first step for detecting aflatoxin contamination.

USING AFLACHECK IS EASY AND RELIABLE:

• EXTRACT sample with methanol and water
• DILUTE the extract with water
• INSERT test strip into diluted extract
• INTERPRET results visually

Appearance of both test line and control line means aflatoxin level is below the test cutoff. Appearance of the control line alone means aflatoxin level is above the test threshold. No visible control line means test is invalid.

AflaCheck kit contains everything that you need for the test.
