Peanuts

Peanut contact with soil during cultivation may result in exposure to mycotoxin-producing molds. Aflatoxin is classified as a Group I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and is regulated in 60+ countries at levels as low as 2 parts per billion (ppb) for aflatoxin B1 and 4 ppb for total aflatoxins. Ensure the safety and marketability of peanut products with VICAM’s complete array of AOAC and USDA approved methods for on-site or laboratory detection.

Toxins Related to Peanuts

Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2

Rapid Testing

Afla-V AQUA HS Peanut/Tree Nut

Accurately detect and measure total aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2) at levels as low as 2.5 ppb and as high as 100 ppb. Eliminate the need for hazardous solvents using a water-based, dilution-free extraction procedure.

AflaCheck

AflaCheck is a qualitative one-step test kit for the detection of aflatoxin. AflaCheck uses highly specific reactions between antibodies and aflatoxin to detect aflatoxin in a variety of samples.

Laboratory Testing

AflaTest

AflaTest is a quantitative method for the detection of aflatoxin in B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, and M2. The test can be used in a wide variety of locations from the local farm elevator to food processing quality control laboratories to government testing laboratories.

AflaTest WB

AflaTest WB is a highly sensitive, reproducible approach used to isolate and purify aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, and M2 using wide bore immunoaffinity columns. AflaTest WB enables the fast flow sample prep preferred by many laboratories and is the ideal cleanup for any LC or LC-MS/MS user.

OchraTest

OchraTest is a quantitative method for the detection of ochratoxin A in a variety of commodities using a fluorometer or HPLC. The test requires no special skills and is rugged enough for field or laboratory use.

OchraTest WB

OchraTest WB is a quantitative method for the detection of ochratoxin A with fluorometer, LC and LC-MS/MS in a variety of commodities. Using wide bore immunoaffinity columns, OchraTest WB allows for a faster flow rate and is the ideal cleanup step for any HPLC.
