Aflatoxins are toxic compounds that are produced by certain types of fungi that grow on crops such as peanuts, corn, and other grains. These toxins can be harmful to human health, causing liver damage, cancer, and other serious illnesses. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor and control the levels of aflatoxins in food and agricultural products.
Bio-Shield Total 5 is an ELISA test for the quantitative determination of Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 in grains, nuts, cereals and other commodities including animal feed. Using innovative technology, Bio-shield 5 provides fast, reliable, and accurate results that can be used to ensure the safety and quality of the food supply.
The approval from the USDA/FGIS is a testament to the efficacy of our product in determining the presence of these harmful toxins. At Prognosis Biotech, we are committed to developing innovative, safe and effective solutions for producers in the food industry. Stay tuned for more updates.
