RIDA®QUICK T-2/HT-2 Toxin RQS is a quantitative immunochromatographic test in strip format for the determination of T-2/HT-2 toxin in oats, corn and wheat. Evaluation is performed by RIDA® SMART APP.
General Information:
The mycotoxins T-2 and HT-2 belong to a group of trichothecenes and are formed by fungi of the Fusarium species. These toxins are frequently found in agricultural products such as oats, maize, barley and wheat. The occurrence and concentration are regional but they vary significantly. Due to the high cytotoxic and immunosuppressive effects, the T-2 and HT-2 toxin represent a health risk for humans and animals.
The frequent appearance of the T-2 and HT-2 toxins and their high level of toxicity resulted in the European Union issuing recommendations in 2013 on the maximum levels of both of these toxins in food and animal feed.
