Intended use

RIDA®QUICK Zearalenon ECO (Art. No. R5506) is an immuno-chromatographic test in strip format for the quantitative determination of zearalenone in corn and wheat. Results are evaluated with the RIDA®SMART APP software (Art. No. ZRSAM) and an approved smartphone or installed on an Android smartphone and the RIDA®SMART BOX (Art. No. ZRSA-SB).

General Information

The mycotoxin zearalenone is formed by fungi of the genus Fusarium. Zearalenone is a phytohormone which displays, apart from its anabolic properties, mainly estrogenic effects. Because of its estrogenic properties, zearalenone may induce fertility disorders in animals with clinical signs of hypoestrogenism – an aspect of a disease which although reported mainly in hogs, is described in other species such as cow, horse and sheep, too.
The potential health risk for humans induced by this mycotoxin, which is taken up with foods of vegetable or animal origin, is extensively discussed.
