Quantum M1

Quantum M1 is a quantitative lateral flow test for the determination of Aflatoxin M1 in raw cow’s milk. It is developed and manufactured to safely test EU limits (0.05μg/kg) and it can be used in the field or in the lab.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Aflatoxins are toxic metabolites of major concern to the dairy industry, generally produced by Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus and A. nomius. They can have immunosuppressive, mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects. Aflatoxins ingested by animals through contaminated pellets and forage are bio-transformed at the hepatic level into Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1). This metabolite is then excreted in the milk used for human consumption and is also present in dairy products. AFM1 in milk and milk products poses certain hygienic risks for human health. Consequently, the EU has established a limit of 0.05 μg/kg (50 ppt) for AFM1.
