Zearalenone rapid test kit is a lateral flow immunoassay kit to detect zearalenone in feed and maize.
Zearalenone (ZEN), also known as RAL and F-2 mycotoxin, is a potent estrogenic metabolite produced by some Fusarium and Gibberella species. Zearalenone is the primary toxin, causing infertility, abortion or other breeding problems, especially in swine. Zearalenone is heat-stable and is found worldwide in a number of cereal crops, such as maize, barley, oats, wheat, rice, and sorghum. The detection limit of the kit can meet both European and USA MRLs when use properly.
