The Ochratoxin A (OTA) Standard Solution from Biorex Food Diagnostics is a high-purity, ready-to-use reference material for calibration, method validation, and quality control in mycotoxin testing laboratories. It supports accurate analysis of cereals, coffee, dried fruits, wine, and other food and feed products where fungal contamination poses a safety risk.
Ochratoxin A is produced by fungal species such as Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum. These fungi can contaminate crops during growth and storage, especially when temperature and humidity are not well controlled. As a result, OTA remains one of the most significant mycotoxins in global food safety.
From a toxicological perspective, OTA can cause serious health effects. It is strongly nephrotoxic and may damage kidney function. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies it as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B). Therefore, its presence in food and feed creates both public health concerns and challenges for international trade.
Regulatory authorities have set strict limits for OTA in many regions. Accurate detection and quantification are essential to meet these requirements and protect consumers. The Biorex Ochratoxin A Standard Solution delivers high purity and consistent performance between batches. This helps laboratories produce reliable and reproducible analytical results.
The solution works with multiple analytical platforms, including ELISA, HPLC, and LC-MS/MS. Laboratories can use it for routine screening as well as confirmatory testing. This flexibility supports efficient and comprehensive mycotoxin monitoring programmes.
In addition, the ready-to-use format simplifies laboratory workflows. It reduces preparation time and minimises handling errors. Consequently, laboratories can improve efficiency while maintaining strong data quality and traceability.
Overall, the Ochratoxin A Standard Solution plays a key role in mycotoxin testing. It supports regulatory compliance, strengthens food and feed safety programmes, and ensures confidence in analytical performance.
