Where many samples of the same food/feed are to be tested, it may be prudent to perform standard curves with the same food/feed type in order to obtain similar extraction efficiencies with experimental samples. In this study, we demonstrate the application of our recently developed real-time immunoquantitative PCR (RT iq-PCR) assay for sensitive detection and quantification of aflatoxins in poultry feed, two types of dairy feed (1 and 2), horse feed, whole kernel corn feed grains, and retail yellow ground corn meal. | FDA Home Regulatory information Search for FDA guidance Documents CPG Sec agricultural production and trade, laboratory Approval testing!
