ASPERGILLUS FLAVUS

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Aspergillus flavus

Aspergillus flavus is a fungus commonly found in soil and decaying vegetation, known for producing aflatoxins that can contaminate crops such as peanuts, maize, and tree nuts. Aflatoxins are potent carcinogens that can have severe health implications, including liver cancer and immune system suppression. Detection of Aspergillus flavus is crucial in the food and agriculture sectors to prevent aflatoxin contamination and ensure food safety.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Aspergillus flavus allows for fast and accurate identification of this pathogen, enabling early intervention to mitigate aflatoxin contamination in crops. This early detection can prevent the spread of carcinogens in the food supply chain, protecting both human health and the economic impact of tainted food products.
