Neogen Aflatoxin Elisa Kit

Description: Description of target: Aflatoxins are poisonous and cancer-causing chemicals that are produced by certain molds (Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus) which grow in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains. They are regularly found in improperly stored staple commodities such as cassava, chili peppers, corn, cotton seed, millet, peanuts, rice, sorghum, sunflower seeds, tree nuts, wheat, and a variety of spices. When contaminated food is processed, aflatoxins enter the general food supply where they have been found in both pet and human foods, as well as in feedstocks for agricultural animals. Animals fed contaminated food can pass aflatoxin transformation products into eggs, milk products, and meat.;Species reactivity: General;Application: ;Assay info: Assay Methodology: Competitive Inhibition ELISA;Sensitivity:

Description: Cell Biolabs? Aflatoxin DNA Adduct Competitive ELISA Kit provides a convenient method for the detection of total Aflatoxin B1-DNA adducts (ring-opened and ring-closed forms).  First, the unknown AFB1-DNA samples or AFB1-DNA standards are added to the AFB1-DNA conjugate preabsorbed ELISA plate.  After a brief incubation, an anti-AFB1-DNA antibody is added, followed by an HRP conjugated secondary antibody.  The total content of AFB1-DNA in unknown samples is determined by comparison with a predetermined AFB1-DNA standard curve.
