Background Information
Aflatoxins belong to the class of mycotoxins which are the strongest mycotoxins, acting primarily as a hepatotoxic and carcinogen. The four main aflatoxins show a different toxicity.
B1 is without doubt the most toxic aflatoxin, followed by G1, B2 and G2. Aflatoxins cause both chronic and acute intoxications. Contaminations with aflatoxins occur mostly with nuts and grain. In most cases aflatoxins penetrate the human body via the food. Aflatoxins are heat stable and are only partly destroyed by boiling. In order to protect people against aflatoxin-induced diseases, there is a need for the quantitative and qualitative control of suspicious food items, besides appropriate hygienic precautions, which prevents the formation of aflatoxins. This Aflatoxin B1 ELISA kit is a quick, economical, and sensitive method to detect aflatoxin B1 in food. After an appropriate sample preparation, 40 samples can be tested in duplicate in 140 minutes.
