Mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are a group of toxic metabolites produced naturally by certain species of fungi (molds) and have been identified recently by the World Health Organization as significant sources of food-borne illnesses.

The most precise and sensitive technique for analysis of mycotoxin is performed using a Thermo Scientific Accela liquid chromatograph coupled to a Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum Series triple quadrupole mass spectrometer providing detection results at the 0.1ppb range. This type of LC-MS/MS is the most widely used technique for the detection of mycotoxin in food, providing round-the-clock productivity and fast and accurate results.

For fast screening, the Thermo Scientific EZ-Tox DON and Thermo Scientific EZ-Quant Mycotoxin test kits deliver point-of-inspection results that are fast, accurate and easy to use.

Thermo Scientific Multiskan EX and Thermo Scientific Multiskan Ascent microplate photometers can be used for inexpensive detection of mycotoxins.

We offer a complete range of products for your food safety and testing needs. Please see the product links below for more information on individual technologies for your application of interest.
