QuickTox™ Kit for DON - AS 204

QuickTox for Vomitoxin is now Faster, Simpler, Sharper!

Screen Grain Quickly at 2 ppm, 1 ppm or 0.5 ppm

other levels available upon request

Running in the same popular multi-level format as the earlier version, the new mycotoxin test kit is now even faster, simpler and sharper. This innovative kit offers a simplified testing process, fewer pipetting steps and sharper test lines for visual interpretation.

GIPSA-certified QuickTox enables grain handlers and processors to quickly check whether field samples, grain deliveries or co-products meet required vom thresholds.

This mycotoxin test is designed to screen for vomitoxin in grain and grain co-products at key industry cutoffs – 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 ppm. The kit features tap water extraction and short shake time, and requires no incubators or readers, or comparison of microwells.

QuickTox for Vomitoxin offers:

Ease of use – tap-water extraction, less “shaking,” visual interpretation, and no special equipment
Speed – In 3-5 minutes, decisions can be made on grain contamination levels, load acceptance, and segregation
Cost effectiveness – based on affordability, tests can be used widely and frequently to strengthen quality-management programs

Also known as deoxynivalenol (or DON), vomitoxin is a natural mycotoxin found in corn, wheat and barley infected by the Fusarium fungus. It affects grain quality and processing performance, but more importantly, the US FDA has set advisory levels for food and feed due to potential health risks for humans and animals.
