ZearalaTest Immunoaffinity Column

ZearalaTest is a monoclonal antibody-based affinity chromatography method for the detection of zearalenone mycotoxin at parts per million levels. Quantitative results can be obtained using a fluorometer, LC or TLC. ZearalaTest provides grain and feed processors the sensitivity, simplicity, and speed they require to generate precise, on-time data.

Benefits
• Convenient – For use with fluorometer or HPLC
• Durable – Long shelf life; requires no refrigeration
• Versatile – For use with a variety of samples
• Quick – Less than 15 minutes to isolate toxin*
• Ideal Size - Column size of 1 mL
• Wide Range – Detects levels as low as 0.1 ppm and as high as 10 ppm
• Safe – Requires less toxic materials than conventional methods
*excluding preparation and extraction

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.
