Total Aflatoxins Elisa Test Kit - China

1 - General

Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites of the fungi species

Aspergillus flavus, parasiticus and nomius.

Aflatoxins

belong to the strongest natural occurring carcinogenic

substances, commonly found in corn, peanuts, cotton seed,

human blood and animal feed.

2 - Test principle

This test kit is based on the competitive enzyme immunoassay

for the detection of AFLATOXINS in the sample.

The coupling

antigens are pre- coated on the micro- well stripes.

The

AFLATOXINS in the sample and the coupling antigens pre-

coated on the micro- well stripes compete for the anti-

AFLATOXINS antibodies.

After the addition of the enzyme

conjugate, the TMB substrate is added for coloration.

The

optical density ( OD) value of the sample has a negative

correlation with the AFLATOXINS in it.

This value is

compared to the standard curve and the AFLATOXINS

concentration is subsequently obtained.

3 - Application

This test kit can be used to detect total aflatoxins in

maize, corn, feed, edible oil and other samples

qualitatively and quantitatively .

6 - Solutions

a.

washing buffer

Use 1 part of concentrated washing buffer and dissolve with

9 parts of distilled water to obtain the ready to use

washing buffer.

Solution is stable for 1 months when stored

at 4 °C.

b.

60/ 40 ( v/ v) MeOH/ Water

Add 600 mL MeOH to 400 mL distilled water.

c.

70/ 30 ( v/ v) MeOH/ Water

Add 700 mL MeOH to 300 mL distilled water.

7 - Samples Preparation

7.1 Sample Preparation of peanut

− weigh 10 g of ground sample into a suitable container and

add 30 ml of 60/ 40 ( v/ v) MeOH/ Water

− shake vigorously for five minutes ( manually or with

shaker)

− filter the extract through filter or centrifuge at

3500r/ min for 5 minutes.

− dilute 1 ml of the obtained filtrate with 5 ml of

distilled water.

− use 50 μ l of the diluted filtrate for test

Dilution factor: 18

7.2 Preparation of animal feed and corn sample

− weigh 3 g of ground sample into a suitable container and

add 15 ml of 70/ 30 ( v/ v) MeOH/ Water.

− shake vigorously for 10 minutes ( manually or with shaker)

− dilute 1 ml of the obtained filtrate or suppernant with 6

ml of distilled water.

Dilution factor: 35

7.3 Preparation of edible oil

− weigh 5 g of edible oil sample into a beaker

− Transfer the sample into a 125ml separating funnel with

10ml petroleum ether / n- hexane

− Add 15ml 60/ 40 ( v/ v) MeOH/ Water, cover tightly and shake

for 5min.

Put it aside for layering and then release the

lower methanol extract

− dilute 1 ml of the obtained extract with 5 ml of

distilled water/ deionized water.

− use 50 μ l of the diluted extract for test

8 - Warnings and precautions for the users

a.

The standard solutions contain aflatoxin B1, particular

care should be taken.

Avoid contact of the reagent with the

skin ( use gloves) .

b.

Decontamination of glassware and aflatoxin B1 solutions

is best carried out using a sodium hypochlorite ( bleach)

solution ( 10 % ( v/ v) ) , adjust solution with HCl to pH 7)

overnight.

e.

The stop solution contains 2 M sulfuric acid.
