Waters Corp., Milford, Mass., introduced a new, lateral flow strip test for the rapid detection of aflatoxin M1 in raw milk at the processing facility or in the dairy laboratory.
Afla M1-V is designed for use with the quantitative VICAM Vertu lateral flow reader. Dairy farms, processors and laboratories are able to obtain precise numerical results for aflatoxin M1 in just 12 minutes, covering the critical range of 50-750 parts per trillion (ppt). Afla M1-V employs a fast, simple sample filtration, which replaces lengthy extraction or centrifuge processing, reducing overall test time. Users are able to comply with both internal quality guidelines and strict export regulatory limits worldwide.
