OchraTest - Immunoafinity Fluorometer & HPLC Columns (50/box)

Immunoffinity columns are used for isolation of Ochratoxin A from samples followed by HPLC or the use of fluorometr. Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin produced by the fungus Aspergillus ochraceous and also by several species of Penicillium. Ochratoxin A has been known to cause kidney damage in animals and is considered a carcinogen.
