Art. No.: R5402
Product info
Intended use
RIDASCREEN®FAST Ochratoxin A is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of ochratoxin A in corn, wheat, barley, oats (grains) and feed.
General Information
The mycotoxin ochratoxin A is formed by fungi of the species Aspergillus and Penicillium. Apart from a marked nephrotoxicity, ochratoxin A displays hepatotoxic, teratogenic, carcinogenic and immunosuppressive properties. There is a risk to human health not only through the intake of contaminated foods of plant-based origin, but also through foods of animal origin. Ochratoxin A has been detected in pig blood and kidneys, as well as in human blood and mother`s milk.
Benefits:
- Fast Only 8 minutes incubation time.
- Safe Water-based extraction solution free of organic solvent.
- Compliant All detection limits below EU maximum levels (ML) and guidance level.
