Vomitoxin / Deoxynivalenol (DON) Test Strip (20 strips/pack) (TBS11156)

Description

Vomitoxin, also known as deoxynivalenol (DON), belongs to the class of epoxy-sesquiterpenoid compounds and is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by molds. It can be found at mg/kg level in contaminated grains such as wheat, maize, barley, oats, rye, and sometimes in rice or sorghum. Because of its high cytotoxicity (which arises from its inhibition of protein synthesis) and immunosuppressive activity, vomitoxin poses significant health risks to both humans and livestock. U.S. Food and Drug Administration has established a maximum allowed vomitoxin level of 1 ppm in human food, 5 ppm in dog or cat food, and 2-10 ppm for livestock feed.

Tribo^TM Vomitoxin Rapid Test Strip provides a rapid and convenient test for vomitoxin with a colloidal gold immunochromatographic design. It provides a fast (results shown in 10 minutes), simple, sensitive, and reliable detection approach for the presence of vomitoxin in grain samples. The lower limit of detection (LOD) of vomitoxin in the sample is 0.1 µg/ml (0.1 ppm).
