1. Overview:

Citrinin is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by a fungus (Monascus monascus). Its main target organ is the kidney, also known as nephrotoxin. At the same time, citrinin is teratogenic. It mainly pollutes red yeast rice products, corn, rice, cheese, etc., which are harmful to human and animal health.

2. Principle:

The basis of the measurement is the antigen-antibody reaction. Antibodies are connected to the column and the citrinin in the sample is extracted, filtered, and diluted, and then passed slowly through the citrinin immunoaffinity column. The toxins bind to the antibodies in the column and the immunoaffinity column is then washed to remove other unrelated substances that have not been bound. Citrinin is eluted with methanol, and then injected into the analytical instrument for detection.
