1. Intended use

RIDASCREEN® Aflatoxin M1 (code R1121) is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of aflatoxin M1 in milk and milk powder.

2. General information

- Aflatoxins are carcinogenic, highly toxic metabolites of the mold fungus varieties Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxin M1 is produced as a metabolite of aflatoxin B1. It is secreted with the milk after feeding of aflatoxin B1-containing feed to lactating cows. As aflatoxin M1 is relatively stable towards the pasteurizing process, not only a comprehensive routine check of the raw materials to be processed is required, but also of the final products

- Since the first of January 1999 EU-wide uniform residue limits for aflatoxins exist. For aflatoxin M1 the limit has been fixed at 0.05 μg/L (50 ppb).

3. Benefits Aflatoxin M1 Elisa kit

- One sample preparation and extraction required per sample for the analysis of aflatoxin und zearalonone, saving time and money

- Optimised HPLC methods for the analysis of aflatoxin in peanuts (PuriTox Aflatoxin Art. No. RBRP25) or aflatoxin and zearalenone in cereals (PuriTox AflaZON Art. No. TC-M160).

- Easy-to-use syringe format suitable for testing peanuts or cereals – can be used with a vacuum manifold if requested.
