Mycotoxin Testing System

Precise, Numerical Results

Countries around the world are continuing to introduce new legislation requiring control of mycotoxin levels in food and feed. At the same time, research is confirming that different mycotoxins in the same product can act synergistically to cause more harm than would be expected from simply adding the effects of the individual toxins. As a result, laboratories must be equipped to detect and quantify multiple toxins simultaneously in food and agricultural products. VICAM, the world’s leading provider of mycotoxin testing solutions, has developed a first-of-its-kind multi-mycotoxin immunoaffinity (IA) column for the simultaneous detection of aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, T-2, HT-2, and nivalenol.

Designed for use with LC/MS/MS detection — one of the most advanced, accurate, and widely used analytical methods in the world – VICAM’s Myco6in1+® LC/MS/MS IA column enables laboratories to simultaneously determine multiple mycotoxins with unmatched sensitivity, selectivity, and speed.

The patented* Myco6in1+ LC/MS/MS IA column is a quantitative tool which combines the proven strengths of selective monoclonal antibodies and liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry to deliver precise numerical results. Simple, streamlined, and easy-to-use, the Myco6in1+ LC/MS/MS IA column requires only one sample and a single pass through the column, minimizing time and materials costs while improving laboratory productivity. VICAM continues to provide the optimized technology that delivers high recoveries, accurate results, and the reliability you’ve come to expect.
