The Charm
ROSA T2–HT2 provides a long-sought tool to rapidly and accurately detect T-2 and HT-2 toxins that adversely affect
animal and human health. T-2 and HT-2 are trichothecene toxins generated by
several Fusarium species (e.g., F. sporothrichioldes) in corn, wheat, barley, rye
and oats.
In addition to the ROSA T2-HT2 test, the following ROSA
mycotoxin tests are available:
– 3 minute quantitative test for aflatoxin in
corn
– 3 minute qualitative test for DON in wheat and barley
– 10 minute
quantitative tests for aflatoxin, DON, fumonisin, ochratoxin and zearalenone in
multiple commodities.
