Kit for Mycotoxin Measurement

Background

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a type of trichothecene mycotoxin produced by Fusarium fungi, known as the cause of red mold disease in wheat and other crops. Ingestion of grains contaminated with DON can cause severe poisoning symptoms in humans and livestock.

In Japan, the provisional standard value for DON in wheat is set at 1.1 ppm, and the provisional tolerance value for DON in feed is set at 4 ppm or less (for cattle aged 3 months or older).

Features

• Measures deoxynivalenol (DON): DON remaining in wheat can be measured and quantified.
• Silage compatible: Fermented feed such as silage, which was previously difficult to measure, can now be tested.
• High sensitivity: Detects up to the ppb level, comparable to analytical instruments.
