Anti-Aflatoxin Antibody [1C6]

Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus that contaminate staple crops including maize, peanuts, and tree nuts, posing serious hepatotoxic and carcinogenic risks to humans and livestock. This rat-derived monoclonal reagent from Antibodies.com, clone 1C6 (IgG2b isotype), is supplied as 100 µg of lyophilised powder for reconstitution, and targets aflatoxin directly in ELISA-based detection workflows used across food safety testing, mycotoxin screening programmes, and agricultural quality control laboratories. Because the antibody recognises the aflatoxin molecule itself rather than a host protein, it supports competitive immunoassay formats where free analyte in the sample competes with coated conjugate for binding. The unconjugated format gives assay developers flexibility to couple the antibody to HRP, biotin, or fluorophores depending on the readout required, and the lyophilised product form provides extended shelf life when stored refrigerated and protected from moisture. Researchers working on rapid screening of feed ingredients, brewing grains, and edible oils, or those developing lateral-flow and microplate-based field tests, will find this clone a well-characterised tool for building sensitive immunoassays.
