T-2/HT-2 LC Immunoaffinity Column

The T-2/HT-2 LC test combines VICAM’s proven immunoassay technology with LC to detect and measure both T-2 and HT-2 toxins. T-2/HT-2 LC streamlines sample cleanup and when used in conjunction with UV detection provides precise readings at ng levels. This simple, sensitive, and reliable LC-only test has a long shelf life and can be used with a variety of samples.

Background

T-2 and HT-2 mycotoxins are produced by Fusarium and other mold species that can commonly attack grains and can grow at temperatures from slightly above freezing to about 86°F (30°C). All domestic animals are susceptible to injury by dietary intake of T-2 in the range of a few ppm. In poultry, feed contaminated with 1.0 to 3.5 ppm of T- 2 has produced lesions at the edges of the beaks, abnormal feathering in chicks, a drastic and sudden drop in egg production, eggs with thin shells, reduced weight gains, and mortality.
