Aflatoxins
Aflatoxin testing is essential for protecting food and feed safety, meeting regulatory requirements and safeguarding consumer and animal health. Produced primarily by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, aflatoxins are among the most significant naturally occurring mycotoxins and can contaminate a wide range of agricultural commodities. R-Biopharm Australia’s comprehensive aflatoxin testing portfolio combines rapid screening assays, quantitative immunoassays and advanced sample preparation technologies to deliver accurate, reliable detection across diverse food and feed matrices. Whether supporting routine quality control or confirmatory laboratory analysis, our solutions help laboratories make informed decisions with confidence.
Protect High-Risk Commodities from Hidden Contamination
Aflatoxin contamination can occur before harvest, during storage or throughout processing, often without visible signs of mould growth. Regular aflatoxin testing enables laboratories and food producers to identify contamination early, reduce the risk of unsafe products entering the supply chain and comply with national and international regulatory limits. R-Biopharm Australia’s solutions are suitable for testing commodities including peanuts, tree nuts, maize, cereals, spices, dried fruit, edible oils and animal feed, supporting reliable quality assurance across the food and feed industry.
A wide selection of analytical tools is available for the qualitative and quantitative detection of aflatoxins, including rapid lateral flow assays, ELISA tests, screening cards, and immunoaffinity columns. These platforms support both laboratory workflows and fast on-site testing in farming, storage, and production environments. Complementary standards and reference materials further enhance accuracy and reliability across testing procedures.
Common Sources of Aflatoxins
The most prevalent and toxic type, commonly found in corn, peanuts, Brazil nuts, cotton seed, and pistachios. Other foods such as rice, millet, almonds, cashews, chillies, coffee, spices, oilseeds, and dried fruits can also be affected.
Found in milk and dairy products, resulting from the ingestion of contaminated feed by dairy animals.
Choose the Right Testing Method for Every Laboratory
Different testing environments require different analytical approaches. R-Biopharm Australia’s aflatoxin testing portfolio includes RIDA®QUICK lateral flow devices for rapid on-site screening, RIDASCREEN® ELISA assays for accurate quantitative laboratory testing, and immunoaffinity columns for sample clean-up prior to HPLC or LC-MS/MS analysis. This comprehensive range allows laboratories to select the most appropriate workflow based on throughput, turnaround time and regulatory requirements.
