PriboFast^® Aflatoxin M₁ Immunoaffinity Column

Aflatoxin M₁ 

Aflatoxins are the secondary metabolites produced by mould of the Aspergillus family, and can contaminate a variety of crops like peanuts, cereals, grains, tree nuts, etc. At present, a number of naturally-occurring aflatoxins have been identified, which include aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, and aflatoxin G2. Aflatoxin B1 is highly toxic and have strong carcinogenicity, which can cause liver cancer and other disease in human. Aflatoxin M1, a hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B1, is also a potent carcinogen. Therefore, there are strict limits and regulations for aflatoxin M1 in food, milk, and dairy products all over the world.

Product Design

The principle of Aflatoxin M1 Immunoaffinity Column is an antigen-antibody reaction. Antibodies to aflatoxin M1 are immobilised on an in-column gel. The toxins in the sample are extracted, filtered, diluted and then slowly passed through the immunoaffinity column, where aflatoxin M1 molecules  are specifically bound to the antibody in gel. The column is then washed to remove unbound other materials. After wash, aflatoxin M1 are eluted with methanol and collected into analytical vials for HPLC or LC-MS/MS.

Validated Matrices

This product can selectively extract aflatoxin M1 in Food, Milk, Fermented Milk, Milk Powder, Cheese, Cream, and Other Dairy Products samples.
