During rigorous testing and validation alongside the AgraVision™ Pro reader,
the AgraStrip® Pro DON WATEX® test kit demonstrated outstanding performance,
achieving ≥ 95% accuracy in quantifying DON. It met all test performance
criteria under the “Design Criteria and Test Performance Specifications for
Quantitative Deoxynivalenol (DON) Test Kits” (January 2023 version). This
innovative kit enables accurate quantitative determination of DON in both wheat
and corn commodities. Approved wheat matrices include whole grain
wheat flour, wheat middlings, wheat red dog flour (2nd clear), and wheat
screenings. For corn, the approval covers dent or field corn, corn meal,
corn flour, cracked corn, corn grits (polenta), and corn screenings.

for the rapid and on-site detection and quantification of Total Aflatoxins,
Zearalenone, Total Fumonisins (B1, B2, B3), Ochratoxin A, and T-2/HT-2 toxins.
These test kits utilize a water-based extraction method, eliminating the need
for hazardous materials in the extraction process.

Ochratoxin A WATEX®, and AgraStrip® Pro Zearalenone WATEX® test kits have
likewise received USDA-FGIS approval, underscoring the reliability and
