Product release March 2026

Intended use

The ext. Lager Kit is a competitive, particle-based immunoassay for the quantitative determination of the Lager mycotoxins alternariol/altanariol methyl ether (AOM), tenuazonic acid (TEA), aflatoxins (AFL) and ochratoxin A (OTA) in various food and feed matrices.

General

Alternariol/altanariol methyl ether, aflatoxins and ochratoxin A are formed by Alternaria, Aspergillus and Penicillium species under storage conditions and therefore belong to the group of so-called storage mycotoxins. Alternariol is mainly found in cereals, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, grapes and products made from them, such as juices or wine, and has genotoxic, cytotoxic and potentially carcinogenic properties. Aflatoxins are frequently found in maize, nuts, dried fruit and spices and have a high carcinogenic potential. Ochratoxin A is typically found in cereals, coffee, wine and dried products and is primarily known for its nephrotoxic and immunosuppressive effects. The ext. Lager Kit enables rapid and reliable detection of the three Lager mycotoxins in one analysis and is ideal for routine quality assurance testing.
