AflaTest

AflaTest® is a quantitative method for the detection of aflatoxin in many commodities. VICAM’s advanced biotechnology permits the measurement of all the major aflatoxins (including AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2 and AFM1) without the use of toxic solvents like chloroform or methylene chloride.

The AflaTest mycotoxin testing system can be used in a wide variety of Locations from the local farm elevator to food processing quality control laboratories to government testing laboratories - anyplace where quick, easy to perform and highly accurate aflatoxin analysis can prevent contamination and improve the quality of the food supply.
