RIDA®QUICK DON RQS ECO is a semi-quantitative or quantitative immunochromatographic test in strip format for the detection of deoxynivalenol (DON) in grain (wheat, triticale and corn/maize).

Semi-quantitative evaluation can be performed visually; quantitative evaluation is performed by RIDA® SMART APP.

General Information:

Deoxynivalenol belongs to the trichothecene group of mycotoxins and is formed by fungi of the genus Fusarium. Deoxynivalenol often occurs in plant products particularly in cereals. More than 150 trichothecenes are known. The mycotoxins deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyl- and 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol are the toxins most frequently occurring in Europe and Northern America. The toxin concentrations found in wheat, corn or rice are often in the ppm range. Due to their high cytotoxic and immunosuppressive properties these toxins pose a risk to human and animal health.

Test Format: 20 test strips (one determination each/individually packed)

Sample Preparation: homogenization and extraction

Incubation Time: 3 min

Detection Limit: 0.25 mg/kg (ppm)
