Aflatoxin M1, B1 (AFM1, AFB1)

• Storage Conditions:

  May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20 °C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 °C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

• Specificity:

  Reactive to Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) and Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), but not reactive to BSA and other irrelevant antigens by ELISA. Similarly, a competitive binding assay using AFM1 as binding competitor to compete with AFM1-BSA-125I showed that AFM1 can effectively inhibit the binding of the above 4 monoclonals to AFM1-BSA-125I and the inhibition degree corresponded to the amounts of AFM1 used.

• Short Name:

  [Aflatoxin M1, B1]
