T2/HT2-V AQUA Lateral Flow Strip Test

T2/HT2-V AQUA Strip Tests utilize the proven sensitivity and selectivity of VICAM's monoclonal antibodies to accurately detect and measure combined T-2 and HT-2 at levels as low as 10 parts per billion (ppb) and as high as 800 ppb. T2/HT2-V AQUA eliminates the need for hazardous solvents, using a water-based extraction procedure that requires no dilution step and develops in just 5 minutes. Results are displayed on the digital screen and may also be printed or transferred to a computer for storage and use as an integral quality assurance tool.

Benefits
• Fast screening – Results in 5 minutes
• Simple – No special training required
• Sensitive – Limits of detection as low as 10 ppb
• Convenient – Easily performed on-site or in the lab
• Durable – Long shelf life
• Accurate – Real-time data which can be printed or transferred to a spreadsheet
• Wide Range – 10-800 ppb

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.
