Romer Labs' AgraStrip® Pro Total Aflatoxin WATEX® Test Kit Receives USDA-FGIS Approval

Tulln, Austria

Romer Labs, a global leader in diagnostic solutions for the food and feed industry, has received official approval from the USDA Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) for its AgraStrip® Pro Total Aflatoxin WATEX® test kit.

As evidenced by its certification (FGIS 2025-192), this kit, which features a water-based extraction method, enables an accurate quantitative determination of aflatoxins in corn—including dent (field) corn, corn meal, corn flour, cracked corn, corn grits (polenta), and corn screenings.

The AgraStrip® Pro Total Aflatoxin WATEX® test kit was evaluated alongside the AgraVision™ Pro reader and was found to meet the stringent USDA-FGIS requirements across a variety of ground corn samples.

“This USDA-FGIS approval is yet another proof of our commitment to providing high-quality testing solutions for the food and feed industry,” said Kurt Brunner, Managing Director of Romer Labs. “When paired with our AgraVision™ Pro reader, the AgraStrip® Pro Total Aflatoxin WATEX® kit provides reliable, on-site quantification of aflatoxins, allowing for quick and confident decision-making.”

The AgraStrip® Pro WATEX® test system provides for the rapid and simple on-site quantification of mycotoxins in a variety of commodities. Paired with the AgraVisionTM Pro reader, the system allows for the independent and simultaneous testing of up to four samples in an intuitive, walk-away procedure.

Aflatoxins are just one of six analytes currently covered by the AgraStrip® Pro WATEX® system. Solutions for deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, total fumonisin, ochratoxin A and T-2/HT-2 are also available. In addition, the AgraStrip® Pro Ochratoxin A WATEX® and AgraStrip® Pro Zearalenone WATEX® test kits have likewise received USDA-FGIS approval, underscoring the reliability and versatility of the AgraStrip® Pro WATEX® platform.
