RIDASCREEN®FAST Ochratoxin A îs a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of ochratoxin A in cereals and feed.
General information:
The mycotoxin ochratoxin A is formed by fungi of the species Aspergillus and
Penicillium. Apart from a marked nephrotoxicity, ochratoxin A displays hepatotoxic, teratongenic, carcinogenic and immunsuppressive properties.
There is a risk to human health not only through the intake of contaminated foods of vegetable origin, but also through foods of animal origin. Ochratoxin A was detected in pig blood and kidneys, as well as in human blood and mother's milk.
