Ochratoxin Rapid Test Kit

This Ochratoxin Rapid Test Kit is based on lateral flow immunoassay to detect ochratoxin feed , nuts and cereal. It is fast, sensitive and reliable. The detection limit is 80-100ug/kg.

Ochratoxins are a group of mycotoxins produced by some Aspergillus species and some Penicillium species, especially P. verrucosum. Ochratoxin A is the most prevalent and relevant fungal toxin of this group, while ochratoxins B and C are of lesser importance. Ochratoxin A (OTA) remains the single most potent member of this group of mycotoxins. OTA has a long half-life in humans and is thus easily detected in serum.
