Aflatoxin M1 ELISA kit
PRICE: $495.00
Description
Aflatoxins are mycotoxins and known carcinogens produced by two species of Aspergillus present in the soil and on plants, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, occurring in grains, nuts, cottonseed and other commodities associated with human food or animal feeds. When cows consume aflatoxin-contaminated feeds, they metabolically biotransform aflatoxin B1 into a metabolite hydroxylated form called aflatoxin M1. Aflatoxin M1 is quite stable towards the normal milk processing method such as pasteurization and if present in raw milk, it may persist into final products for human consumption. The Canadian AMRL is 0.05 ppb and the FDA action limit for Aflatoxin M1 is 0.5 ppb in milk and dairy products.
