Pet Food

Mycotoxins, the toxic chemical byproducts of naturally occurring molds, are among the most common risks for pet food companies today. The US FDA recommendation for pet foods indicates maximum levels for aflatoxin at less than 20 ppb and less than 5 parts per million (ppm) for deoxynivalenol (DON). VICAM’s AOAC and USDA-GIPSA approved diagnostic kits provide the most comprehensive and effective tools for mycotoxin monitoring and prevention in the world.

Rapid Testing

Afla-V AQUA Grain

Accurately detect and measure total aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2) at levels as low as 2.5 ppb and as high as 100 ppb. Eliminate the need for hazardous solvents using a water-based, dilution-free extraction procedure.

Afla-V ONE

Afla-V ONE offers the world’s first lateral flow strip test capable of measuring total aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 & G2, eliminates toxin-dependent calibration completely, and reduces time to result and offers unmatched performance for aflatoxin monitoring in finished feeds.‍

AflaCheck

AflaCheck is a qualitative one-step test kit for the detection of aflatoxin. AflaCheck uses highly specific reactions between antibodies and aflatoxin to detect aflatoxin in a variety of samples.

Laboratory Testing

Myco6in1+

Myco6in1+ columns for LC-MS/MS is a quantitative method that delivers fast, accurate and simultaneous determination of aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, nivalenol, T-2 and HT-2 toxins. Samples are purified by the Myco6in1+ LC-MS/MS immunoaffinity column before being quantitated by LC or LC-MS/MS.

AflaTest WB

AflaTest WB is a highly sensitive, reproducible approach used to isolate and purify aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, and M2 using wide bore immunoaffinity columns. AflaTest WB enables the fast flow sample prep preferred by many laboratories and is the ideal cleanup for any LC or LC-MS/MS user.

DONtest LC

DONtest LC is a quantitative approach to laboratory detection of DON (also known as deoxynivalenol or vomitoxin) in parts per million (ppm) levels. Safe, rugged and reliable for use in food and agricultural testing labs around the world, DONtest LC isolates and purifies DON prior to injection to the LC or LC-MS/MS for detection.
