Zearala-V AQUA Lateral Flow Strip Test for Measuring Zearalenone

Zearala-V AQUA Strip Tests utilize the proven sensitivity and selectivity of VICAM’s monoclonal antibodies to accurately detect and measure zearalenone at levels as low as 25 parts per billion (ppb) and as high as 2,000 ppb. Zearala-V AQUA eliminates the need for hazardous solvents using a water-based dilution-free extraction procedure that develops in 5 minutes. Results are displayed on the digital screen and may also be printed or transferred to Excel for storage and used as a vital quality assurance tool.

Background

Zearalenone is an estrogenic mycotoxin produced by the fungus Fusarium graminearum. Zearalenone induces feminization in animals at concentrations in feed of about 1 ppm. Higher concentrations (50-100 ppm) can interfere with conception, ovulation, implantation, fetal development, and the viability of newborn animals.
