Zearalenone ELISA Kit is a competitive ELISA kit to detect zearalenone in feed and cereal samples.
Zearalenone (ZEN, ZEA, or ZON), also known as RAL and F-2 mycotoxin, is a potent estrogenic metabolite produced by some Fusarium and Gibberella species. Particularly, is produced by Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium cerealis, Fusarium equiseti, Fusarium verticillioides, and Fusarium incarnatum.
This Zearalenone ELISA Kit is based on indirect competitive ELISA, the coupled antigen was pre-coated in the microwells, the zearalenone will compete for the antibody with the pre-coated antigen, then add HRP enzyme conjugate and TMB substrate successively, the OD value of the sample is negatively correlated with the content of zearalenone contained in the sample. The standard curve is fitted by regression and multiplied by the corresponding dilution ratio to obtain the content of zearalenone in the sample.
