FumoniTest WB Immunoaffinity Column

FumoniTest WB is a quantitative LC method that uses wide bore immunoaffinity columns for the detection of fumonisin mycotoxins B1, B2 and B3 in a variety of commodities. With a total volume of 3 mL, FumoniTest WB allows for a faster flow rate preferred by many laboratories and is the ideal cleanup step for any LC.

Benefits
• Exclusive – Specifically for LC use
• Comprehensive – Total readings for fumonisins B1, B2, and B3
• Durable — Long shelf life
• Versatile —For use with a variety of samples
• Quick – 15 minutes to isolate toxin*
• Large Volume - Column size of 3 mL
• Wide Range — Detects levels as high as 10 ppm
• Fast Flow — Passes more volume over the column
*excluding preparation and extraction

Background

Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by the fungus Fusarium moniliforme. F. moniliforme is a frequent, almost universal, inhabitant of corn. Fumonisin B1, B2 and B3 are present in most corn samples tested, often totaling greater than 1 ppm. Fumonisin is thought to cause equine leukoencephalomalacia in horses, swine pulmonary edema, and human esophageal cancer. The FDA/USDA Working Group on Fumonisin advises less than 4 ppm for products for human consumption, less than 5 mg/kg in horse feed, less than 10 mg/kg for swine feed, and less than 50 mg/kg for cattle feed.
