Method Reference:
Neogen 8030
Method Description:
The sample is extracted into solvent and the extract is added to a solution of enzyme-conjugated toxin. The mixture is then transferred to an antibody-coated plastic well where the free toxin and the enzyme-conjugated toxin compete for antibody sites. After rinsing, a color developing agent and a stop solution are added. The color of the well is evaluated for the presence/quantity of aflatoxin in the sample.
Additional Information:
This test is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited through A2LA, Certificate # 2769.01.
This test determines the presence of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2, from the Aspergillus mold, using a direct competitive ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assays) method in a microwell format. However, the test only provides a Total Aflatoxin result. It does not provide results that are specific to the individual mycotoxin species.
Concentrated food additives, colors and flavors may cause interferences when using ELISA-based test methods.
