Citrinin
General information on citrinin
The mycotoxin Citrinin is formed by fungi of the species Aspergillus, Penicillium and Monascus species. These fungi are able to produce Citrinin and/or Ochratoxin A, therefore both mycotoxins appear together very often. Citrinin was described for the first time in 1953 by japanese authors. They detected this mycotoxin in yellow coloured rice, which was contaminated with Penicillium citrinum.
Citrinin occurs in cereals such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn and rice and shows the same nephrotoxic effects as ochratoxin A.
The moisture level of cereals is very important for the development and growth of the citrinin producing fungi, requiring minimum levels of 16.5 to 19.5 %.

EASI-EXTRACT® CITRININ
Intended use:
Immunoaffinity columns for use in conjunction with an HPLC or LC-MS/MS for detection of citrinin in a wide range of commodities.
General information:
The procedure is based on monoclonal antibody technology, which makes the test highly specific, sensitive, rapid and simple to perform. The columns contain a gel suspension of monoclonal antibody specific to the toxins of interest. Following extraction of the toxin the sample extract is filtered, diluted and passed slowly through the immunoaffinity column. Any toxin which is present in the sample is retained by the antibody within the gel suspension. The column is washed to remove unbound material and the toxin is then released from the column following elution with solvent. The eluate is collected prior to analysis by HPLC or LC-MS/MS.
