- To meet the strict requirements for accuracy and effectiveness in analysis, the AFLAOCHRA RHONE® WIDE column was born as an optimal solution, highly rated by laboratories and experts.
- In today's fast-changing economic context, laboratories face increasing pressure to maintain food security while still managing costs. Toxic mycotoxins produced by some types of mold pose a significant threat to global agriculture. They can arise both before harvest and during storage, leading to crop losses and affecting food safety. As a result, strict regulations apply worldwide, requiring maximum limits on many mycotoxins in food and animal feed.
- Many commodities, such as dried fruits and spices, can contain multiple types of mold toxins at once. This requires comprehensive testing methods to ensure compliance with legal limits. A traditional approach, testing each toxin type separately, can take time and money. Laboratories are therefore increasingly switching to multi-toxin analysis as a more efficient solution.
1. Introduction to the AFLAOCHRA RHONE® WIDE immunoaffinity column
The AFLAOCHRA RHONE® WIDE immunoaffinity column is an advanced product in the field of Immunoaffinity Chromatography, dedicated to analyzing aflatoxin and Ochratoxin in many different sample types such as cereals, food, animal feed and milk.
2. Standout features
2.1. Diverse analytical capability
The AFLAOCHRA RHONE® WIDE immunoaffinity column suits many sample types, from fresh foods and processed foods to animal feed materials. This helps laboratories save costs and increase efficiency when analyzing samples in batches.
2.2. High sensitivity and accuracy
Advanced immunoassay technology lets the product detect aflatoxin at very low levels, meeting strict food safety standards such as those of the EU and FDA. The column can remove unwanted impurities, making analytical results more reliable.
2.3. Sustainable and convenient design
The column is designed with high mechanical strength and is easy to handle during use. Its smart structure optimizes sample processing, minimizes errors and increases working speed.
3. Operating principle
The AFLAOCHRA RHONE® WIDE immunoaffinity column works on the specific binding mechanism between antibodies and aflatoxin. When the sample passes through the column, the aflatoxin in it binds to the antibodies on the column surface. The subsequent elution and analysis steps then detect and quantify aflatoxin with high sensitivity.
4. Advantages over other products
- Time saving: a simple procedure, easy to perform, minimizing complex steps. One significant advantage of using AFLAOCHRA RHONE® WIDE is that the analysis time is shortened; usually the extraction and cleanup can be completed in about 20 minutes. This efficiency not only saves the laboratory's precious time but also supports compliance with the growing regulatory requirements for multi-toxin testing.
- Economic efficiency: one column type serves many different sample types, reducing equipment purchase costs.
- Compliance with international standards: inspected and certified by leading organizations, guaranteeing safety and accuracy.
5. Practical applications
The AFLAOCHRA RHONE® WIDE column has been applied successfully in many fields, including:
- Testing the quality of agricultural products: corn, wheat, soybeans, dried fruits, cocoa.
- Food safety monitoring: processed foods, dairy products, children's food, spices.
- Animal feed analysis: ensuring there is no aflatoxin residue that would affect animal health.
6. Usage instructions
* Step 1: Sample preparation
- Weigh out precisely the amount of sample to be analyzed.
- Extract the sample with a suitable solvent as instructed.
* Step 2: Pass through the column
- Filter the sample solution and pass it through the AFLAOCHRA RHONE® WIDE column.
- Wash the column with a buffer solution to remove impurities.
* Step 3: Elution and analysis
- Use an elution solvent to recover the aflatoxin.
- Analyze with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instruments or spectrophotometry.
