Product introduction
Summary
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic metabolite produced by Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium genera. Ochratoxin A has a strong liver and kidney toxicity, and has teratogenic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic.
OTA was considered to be the second important and harmful mycotoxin in the family following with Aflatoxin flavus. As the OTA producing fungi exist widely in nature, especially higher yield in cereals and cereals products, coffee, cocoa contaminated with OTA, it has been potential threat for human health and development of animal husbandry.
Intended Use
The kit is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay that determines a quantitative level for the presence of Ochratoxin A and is intended for use in grains, feed materials and feed products. This method is suitable for the rapid on-site test.
