Product Review ... Mycotoxin Test Kit

This article was taken from the First Quarter 2021 MILLING JOURNAL

A global supplier of diagnostic solutions for the agricultural, food, and feed industries, Romer Labs offers a range of test kits for mycotoxins, food pathogens, food allergens, and other food contaminants. In February, the company introduced the AgraStrip® Pro WATEX® test system for rapid and simple on-site quantification of total aflatoxin, deoxynivalenol, total fumonisin, and zearalenone.

“The AgraStrip Pro WATEX system makes mycotoxin testing more efficient by simplifying workflow and enabling optimal time management,” says Managing Director Eva Wanzenböck. “The entire test procedure is completed in 10 minutes, with the assay itself taking only four minutes.”

Water-based Extraction

“All AgraStrip Pro WATEX mycotoxin kits share a common, water-based extraction and dilution procedure,” says Wanzenböck, “eliminating the need for organic solvents that can harm the user and the environment.”

Features

• The system allows for independent and simultaneous testing of up to four samples using an intuitive procedure.

• The reader automates timing, temperature, and flow, which eliminates potential handling errors.

• A robust design and integrated incubator ensure precise, quantitative results even in the toughest conditions.

• Data management and reporting is performed simply with blockchain-enabled test strips and easy connectivity to PCs and a printer.
