Romer Labs has received approval from the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) for its AgraStrip® Pro Zearalenone WATEX® rapid test kit.
According to the Certificate of Conformance, AgraStrip Pro Zearalenone WATEX was found to meet all test performance criteria as defined in relevant regulations. Approved commodities include dent or field corn, corn meal and corn flour.
The AgraStrip Pro WATEX test system provides for the rapid and simple on-site quantification of mycotoxins in a variety of commodities.
Paired with the AgraVision Pro reader, the system allows for the independent and simultaneous testing of up to four samples in an intuitive, walk-away procedure. Zearalenone is just one of five analytes currently covered by the AgraStrip Pro WATEX system: solutions for total aflatoxin, deoxynivalenol, total fumonisin and ochratoxin A are also available.
“We are delighted that our AgraStrip Pro Zearalenone WATEX solution has received FGIS approval," says Kurt Brunner, managing director.
"It's a good indicator of the robustness and precision of the entire system, including our strip tests and the AgraVision Pro reader. We look forward to announcing FGIS approvals for our other mycotoxin rapid tests soon.”
