Mycotoxin Test Kits
Rapid Tests to Detect Precise Levels of Fungal Toxins
Mycotoxins are toxic substances naturally produced by molds (fungi) that may contaminate agricultural commodities by growing on grain or feed. These molds result in a variety of dangerous mycotoxins, such as aflatoxin, fumonisin, deoxynivalenol (DON), ochratoxin, and zearalenone—some of which are known human carcinogens. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has determined acceptable levels of certain mycotoxins for consumption by humans and different species of animals. Furthermore, the European Union (EU) continues to tighten its regulations. This stiffening of EU import standards drives worldwide adoption of mycotoxin tests that are ever more precise, accurate, and sensitive.
One method of mycotoxin analysis includes sample extraction and clean-up with VICAM immunoaffinity columns, followed by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). In addition to HPLC analysis, VICAM immunoaffinity columns can be used for the quantitative detection of mycotoxin present through the use of a fluorometer. The use of VICAM immunoaffinity columns with the aforementioned instruments can provide a reading of actual mycotoxin content over a range of contamination levels.
Since 1985, VICAM has been dedicated to developing AOAC-approved rapid tests for mycotoxin and food borne pathogens. VICAM has developed a Mycotoxin Testing System that provides reliable, quantitative detection of particular mycotoxins through the choice of fluorometric or HPLC measurements.
