EuroProxima Ochratoxin-A in roasted coffee flow-through assay is a competitive flow through rapid immune assay for a fast and simple screening of ochratoxin A in roasted coffee.
General Information
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a nephrotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic mycotoxin produced by Penicillium verrucosum and P. viridicatum in temperate and cold climates and by a number of Aspergillus species such as A. ochraceus in warmer and tropical areas of the world. OTA has been shown to occur in various cereals and plant products such as coffee and grapes. In the European Union the maximum limit for OTA in roasted coffee is 3 μg/kg (ppb) in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/1370.
