DON-V ONE Lateral Flow Strip Test for Measuring Vomitoxin

DON-V™ ONE offers the world’s first lateral flow strip test capable of measuring vomitoxin (DON) in complete feeds and pet foods. Using a simple, barcode-based universal calibration, DON-V ONE delivers numeric results in minutes while improving safety and sustainability for field, process and laboratory testing environments. DON-V ONE eliminates high-stakes calibration, reduces time to result and offers unmatched performance for DON monitoring in finished feeds.

Benefits
• Safe – Eliminates toxic calibration chemicals
• Value – No hidden costs or sample batching required
• Fast screening – Actionable results in 5 minutes*
• Sensitive – Limits of detection as low as 0.20 ppm
• Wide range – 0.20 to 40 ppm†
• Convenient – Easily performed on-site or in the lab
• Accurate – Results equivalent to HPLC methods
*after extraction † Using high range procedure
• This procedure has been validated for a wide range of finished feeds, including pet food

Background

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is also known as vomitoxin because of its impact on livestock through interference with animal growth and acceptance of feed. DON has been implicated in moldy corn toxicosis of swine. DON is often present with other mycotoxins and has been isolated from grains and feeds throughout the world at levels as high as 92 ppm. Because of concerns about DON, the United States FDA has instituted advisory levels of 1 ppm for wheat products for human consumption, 5 ppm for grain products for most animal feeds and 10 ppm for grain products for cattle feed. The European Community has regulations for DON levels that range from less than 0.2 ppm in processed cereal based foods for infants and young children to less than 1.75 ppm for unprocessed wheat.
