T-2 Toxin ELISA Test Kit Background Information:
T-2 Toxin in addition to deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, the fumonisines and other trichothecenes belongs to the fusarium toxins. These toxins are already produced on the field in consequence of a contact of the cereals by fusarium species. Acute toxic dosages can result in gastroenteritis, damage of bone marrow up to necroses of skin and respiratory passages.
T-2 toxin has a high stability against temperature and can therefore also be detected in bakery products. In Russia the legislator set limit values for T-2 Toxin in food between 50 and 100 ppb. The introduction of limit values in the European union is discussed since many years. Thus an observation of food and feed with respect to the concentration of T 2 Toxin is increasingly obligatory.



T-2 Toxin Test Principle:
The Diagnostic Automation, Inc. T-2 Toxin quantitative test is based on the principle of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. An antibody binding protein is coated on the surface of a microtiter plate.
