ROSA AFQ-WETS5 Aflatoxin Quantitative Test
The ROSA AFQ-WETS5 Aflatoxin Quantitative Test detects aflatoxin rapidly and quantitatively utilizing ROSA (Rapid One Step Assay) lateral flow technology. The WET method uses an extraction powder added to the sample followed by water (e.g., bottled water) to extract aflatoxin.
In 2015, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) has awarded a 5-year contract to Charm Sciences to monitor aflatoxin in grains utilizing Charm’s ROSA WET-S5 Aflatoxin Quantitative Test (water-based) and ROSA FAST Aflatoxin Quantitative Test (solvent-based). This Rapid One Step Assay is a quantitative lateral flow test that is read in the Charm EZ-M system or the ROSA-M Reader.
The ROSA AFQ-WET-S5 test is USDA GIPSA (Grain Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration) approved for detecting aflatoxin in the following commodities:
Corn
DDGS
Sorghum
Soybeans
Wheat
Regulatory Info:
- Meets USDA GIPSA regulations for humans, immature animals, and dairy animals of 20 ppb with dilutions, for breeding cattle, breeding swine, and mature poultry up to 150 ppb.
- Meets European Union regulations for maize subjected to sorting or treatment of 5.0 ppb.
