T2 ELISA Kit

T-2 Toxin in addition to deoxynivalenol, T-2, the fumonisines and other trichothecenes belongs to the fusarium toxins. These toxins are already produced on the field in consequence of a contact of the cereals by fusarium species. Acute toxic dosages can result in gastroenteritis, damage of bone marrow up to necroses of skin and respiratory passages.T-2 toxin has a high stability against temperature and can therefore also be detected in bakery products. In Russia the legislator set limit values for T-2 Toxin in food between 50 and 100 ppb. The introduction of limit values in the European union is discussed since many years. Thus an observation of food and feed with respect to the concentration of T-2 Toxin is increasingly obligatory.This kit represents a highly sensitive detection system and is particulary capable of the quantification of T-2 Toxin contaminations in cereals, beer, milk and meat.
