Evirologix AG-440-ADFZ Comb Kits and 20-0047 Kit Disposables will meet these specifications, however, equivalent items will be considered.

Project Purchase 1008 (21 kits of 48 combs each with 4 toxin strips) lateral flow combs with strips for simultaneous quantification of aflatoxin, fumonisin, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone and 1000 extraction cups

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

USDA scientists are seeking to procure lateral flow combs with strips for simultaneous quantification of aflatoxin, fumonisin, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone for analysis of 1008 corn samples and at least 1000 extraction cups.

The flow strips/combs must allow for quantification of all four mycotoxins from a single extraction and the strips quantification need to be read by/ compatible with an Evirologix – QuickScan II machine.

2.0 Background

Corn is frequently contaminated with multiple mycotoxins and to assess mycotoxin contamination and food safety risk in corn samples we frequently have to quantify the amount of aflatoxin, fumonisin, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone.

USDA scientists are conducing a survey that requires quantification of these multiple toxins from a little over 1000 samples. For the research the lateral flow combs with strips for simultaneous quantification of aflatoxin, fumonisin, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone are needed for analysis of 1008 samples The flow strips/combs must allow for quantification of all four mycotoxins from a single extraction and the strips quantification need to be read by an Evirologix

– QuickScan II machine.
