Aflatoxin B1 Food ELISA Kit Background Information
Aflatoxins belong to the class of mycotoxins. Chemically they are defined as difuranocyclopentanocumarines or difuranopentanolidocumarines, i.e. aflatoxins contain a dihydrofuran or a tetrahydrofuran ring, to which a substituted cumarin system is condensed. Out of about 20 known aflatoxins, the moulds Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus produce exclusively aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2, and all the other aflatoxins are derivates of these four. The derivates are developed either by metabolism in humans, animals and microorganisms or by environmental reactions. Aflatoxins are the strongest mycotoxins, which act primarily in a hepatotoxic and carcinogenic way. The four main aflatoxins show a different toxicity. B1 is without doubt the most toxic aflatoxin, followed by G1, B2 and G2. Both chronical and acute intoxications are effected by aflatoxins.





Aflatoxin B1 Food ELISA Test Principle
The Aflatoxin B1 Food ELISA Kit is a quantitative test based on the principle of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. An aflatoxin conjugate is bound on the surface of a microtiter plate. Immobilized and free aflatoxin B1 compete for the antibody binding sites.
