T-2 / HT-2 Toxin
T-2 / HT-2 toxin testing is essential for protecting food and feed safety, maintaining grain quality and supporting animal health. Produced by Fusarium species, T-2 and HT-2 toxins belong to the Type A trichothecene family and are recognised for their potent toxicity in both humans and animals. Commonly detected in oats, barley, wheat and maize, these mycotoxins require reliable monitoring to support regulatory compliance and quality assurance. R-Biopharm Australia’s comprehensive T-2 / HT-2 toxin testing portfolio combines rapid screening assays, quantitative immunoassays and advanced sample preparation technologies to deliver accurate, dependable detection across a wide range of grain and feed matrices.
Protect Grain and Feed from Highly Potent Trichothecenes
Unlike many other mycotoxins, T-2 and HT-2 toxins are recognised for their strong cytotoxic and immunosuppressive effects, making them a significant concern for livestock production and food safety. Routine T-2 / HT-2 toxin testing enables laboratories to detect contamination early, evaluate grain quality and prevent contaminated raw materials from entering food and feed production. This proactive approach helps protect animal welfare, maintain production efficiency and strengthen quality assurance programs.
Regulatory authorities, particularly the European Union, have established maximum levels and recommendations for T-2 and HT-2 toxins in food and animal feed. In 2013, the EU issued guidance outlining these limits, emphasising the importance of routine and accurate testing to ensure compliance. Regular monitoring allows producers to verify that their products meet regulatory requirements, safeguarding public health and avoiding potential legal and economic repercussions.
Comprehensive Testing Solutions for Every Laboratory
R-Biopharm Australia’s T-2 / HT-2 toxin testing portfolio provides flexible analytical solutions for both routine screening and confirmatory analysis. The range includes RIDA®QUICK T-2 / HT-2 RQS ECO lateral flow assays for rapid screening, RIDASCREEN® T-2 / HT-2 Toxin ELISA kits for quantitative laboratory analysis, and EASI-EXTRACT® T-2 & HT-2 sample preparation columns that support HPLC and LC-MS/MS workflows. This comprehensive portfolio allows laboratories to select the most appropriate method based on throughput, turnaround time and regulatory requirements.
