Product description

Aflatoxin, a toxin from a naturally occurring mold, is a Group 1 carcinogen proven to cause cancer in humans. Throughout the world, there are significant regulations on the presence of aflatoxins in food. The European Commission has action levels for aflatoxins in groundnuts, nuts, dried fruit, and cereals intended for direct human consumption or for ingredients in foodstuffs. These action levels are 4 ppb total aflatoxins and 2 ppb for aflatoxin B1. Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin produced by the fungus Aspergillus ochraceous and also by several species of Penicillium. Ochratoxin A has been known to cause kidney damage in animals and is a suspected carcinogen.

AflaOchra HPLC™ from VICAM is the only test that employs a single column to produce precise numerical results in determining both aflatoxin and ochratoxin levels. Using monoclonal antibody based affinity chromatography, AflaOchra HPLC can isolate aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 from grain, food, feed, and nuts and ochratoxin A and its stereoisomer from coffee, beer, grain, and feed. With AflaOchra HPLC you have the best of all worlds: sensitivity, simplicity, and speed—quick tests with results in parts per billion. In fact, no other test comes close for speed, quantification, and economy.
