Aflatoxin M₁ is a chemical compound of the aflatoxin class, a group of mycotoxins produced by three species of Aspergillus - Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, and the rare Aspergillus nomius - which contaminate plant and plant products.

Aspergillus flavus produces only B-type aflatoxins. Aflatoxin M₁ is the hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B₁ and can be found in milk or milk products obtained from livestock that have ingested contaminated feed. The detection of mycotoxin residues such as Aflatoxin M₁ in raw milk is of great concern for the dairy industry because of the potential interfering and adverse effects of mycotoxin residues frequently found in raw milk.

Intended Use

The Aflatoxin M₁ ELISA Test Kit is competitive ELISA for the quantitative analysis of Aflatoxin M₁ in samples of raw milk.
