AgraQuant® DON ELISA Test Kit granted USDA/GIPSA and AOAC Approval
Romer Labs® is pleased to announce that its AgraQuant® DON ELISA Test Kit for the detection of
Deoxynivalenol (Vomitoxin) was recently granted Performance Tested Status by the AOAC
Research Institute (AOAC-RI No. 110701).

The AgraQuant® DON is a simple ELISA test kit that quantifies Deoxynivalenol within a range of
0.25 and 5 ppm in grain and other commodities.
The Fusarium graminearum fungus is the principal producer of deoxynivalenol, also known as DON
or vomitoxin, in grains. It survives on old, infected residue left on the field from the previous
growing season. DON is a known immunosuppressant and may cause kidney problems in humans.
In addition, it often affects swine by causing a decrease in grain consumption. DON is one of the
most widely regulated mycotoxins in the world.
