Ochratoxin is a mycotoxin produced by the fungus Aspergillus ochraceous and also by several species of Penicillium fungi. Ochratoxin has been known to cause kidney damage and decreased egg production in chickens. It is an immunosuppressant and is considered a potential carcinogen.
Ochra-V AQUA
Ochra-V test strips use the proven sensitivity and selectivity of VICAM’s monoclonal antibodies to accurately detect and quantify ochratoxin A in wheat and coffee samples at levels as low as 2 ppb. The single dilution sample preparation procedure saves time and materials, and the test takes 7 minutes* to develop. Digital readings are clearly displayed on the screen of the Vertu Lateral Flow Reader, eliminating any guesswork about the results.
