1. Intended use

RIDA^®QUICK Ochratoxin ECO (code R5404) is a quantitative immunochromatographic test in strip format for the quantitative determination of ochratoxin in corn and wheat. Results are evaluated with the RIDA®SMART APP software (Art. No. ZRSAM1000) or the RIDA® SMART BOX reader.

2. General Information

The mycotoxin ochratoxin A is formed by fungi of the genus Aspergillus and Penicillium. In addition to its pronounced nephrotoxicity, ochratoxin A exhibits hepatotoxic, teratogenic, carcinogenic and immunosuppressive properties. The ingestion of contaminated food and feed of plant origin, but also of animal origin, poses a particular health risk to humans. Ochratoxin A has already been detected in pig blood and kidneys and in human blood and breast milk.
