DONtest WB Immunoaffinity Column

Deoxynivalenol or DON (also known as vomitoxin) has been isolated from grains and feeds throughout the world at levels as high as 92 ppm. DONtest WB is an HPLC test for the detection of DON at parts per million (ppm) levels using wide bore immunoaffinity columns — the method is simple, accurate and reproducible. With a total volume of 3 mL, DONtest WB allows for a faster flow rate and is the ideal cleanup step for any HPLC.

Benefits
• Exclusive – Specifically for HPLC and UPLC® use
• Durable — Long shelf life
• Versatile — For use with a variety of samples
• Quick —10 minutes to isolate toxin*
• Large Volume - Column size of 3 mL
• Wide Range — Detects levels as low as 0.04 ppm and as high as 5 ppm
• Fast Flow — Faster results than narrow bore test
*excluding preparation and extraction

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.
