Quantitative Mycotoxin Analysis in Maize

The 500 g maize samples used were those specifically obtained for mycotoxin analysis. Aflatoxin and fumonisin analyses were conducted using AgraStrip^® Total Aflatoxin and Fumonisin quantitative test kits provided by Romer Labs^®, Inc., Union, MO, USA. The AgraStrip^® Total Aflatoxin Quantitative Test is a one-step lateral flow immunochromatographic assay that determines a quantitative level for the presence of total aflatoxin. The AgraStrip^® Total Fumonisin Quantitative Test is a one-step lateral flow immunochromatographic assay that determines a quantitative level for the presence of total fumonisin. In both tests, sample grinding, extraction, solute preparation and test procedures were undertaken in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions (Romer Labs Methods, romerlabs.com (Accessed on 10 February 2020).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
