Ochratoxin rapid test kit | RIDA® QUICK Ochratoxin RQS ECO
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.
3. Benefits
- Fast: Optimal to generate rapid quantitative results with minimal lab equipment in a few minutes.
- Water-extraction: No organic solvents needed. The extraction is carried out with a water-based extraction buffer (buffer concentrate included).
- Cost-effective: No extra costs for organic solvent purchase and disposal.
- Unique: Ochratoxin test that can be evaluated by a smartphone app, the RIDA®SMART APP.
