1-Standard Zearalenone (ZON)

1-Standard Zon is an ELISA test for the quantitative determination of Zearalenone (ZON) in grains, spices, cereals and animal feed. The test provides a cost-effective, and reliable solution to the analyst, including only the standard 1 (zero standard) in the kit.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Zearalenone (ZON) is a member of the trichothecene mycotoxins produced by fungi of the Fusarium genus (F. graminearum). Grains including barley, wheat, oats, corn, rice and maize are frequently infected by this fungus. It is frequently implicated in reproductive disorders of farm animals and occasionally in hyperoestrogenic syndromes in humans. There is evidence that ZON and its metabolites possess oestrogenic activity in pigs, cattle and sheep. Moreover, ZON has also been shown to be hepatotoxic, haematotoxic, immunotoxic and genotoxic. Most controlling government agencies worldwide have regulations regarding the amount of ZON allowable in human and animal foodstuffs. Accurate and rapid determination of ZON presence in commodities is of paramount importance.
