Fumonisins are a group of mycotoxins derived from Fusarium and their Liseola section. They have strong structural similarity to sphinganine, the backbone precursor of sphingolipids. More specifically, it can refer to: Fumonisin B1, Fumonisin B2, Fumonisin B3, and Fumonisin B4. Fumonisin Rapid Test Kit is a competitive immunoassay lateral flow test, this product utilizes the high affinity of monoclonal antibody against fumonisin, which can identify fumonisin in cereal or feed. The detection of the kit can meet both European and USA MRLs when used properly.
Application
This kit can be used to quantitative detect fumonisin in cereal, and feed.
Performance
Limit of detection: 150μg/kg (ppb) Range of quantitation: 0 - 5000μg/kg (ppb)
