Ochra-V AQUA Lateral Flow Strip Test for Measuring Ochratoxin A

Ochra-V test strips use the proven sensitivity and selectivity of VICAM’s monoclonal antibodies to accurately detect and quantify ochratoxin A in wheat and coffee samples at levels as low as 2 ppb. The single dilution sample preparation procedure saves time and materials, and the test takes 7 minutes* to develop. Digital readings are clearly displayed on the screen of the Vertu Lateral Flow Reader, eliminating any guesswork about the results.
