Aflatoxin M1 Rapid Test Kit

Aflatoxin M1 is the hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B1 and it may be found in milk, including human milk. In cows, sheep, goats and buffaloes that have consumed feeds contaminated with aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin M1 will be formed as a result of the metabolic process in the livers of ruminants and excreted in their milk. Humans can be exposed to the toxins through consumption of contaminated milk and other foods.

The European Union countries generally apply a maximum level of 0.05 μg/kg milk. The USA as well as some European and several Asian countries accept a maximum level of 0.5 μg/kg aflatoxin M1 in milk. Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) Rapid Test Kit is a qualitative colloidal gold-based lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the detection of Aflatoxin M1.
