Mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of molds that contaminate a vast range of crops and fruits. This contamination poses a significant health risk to both humans and animals due to the inherent toxicity of these compounds. As a result, ensuring food and feed safety is of paramount importance.

To tackle this issue, over 100 countries have established regulations that govern the presence of mycotoxins in food and feed. In response to these regulations, there is a growing demand for reliable and efficient mycotoxin testing solutions that not only ensure compliance but also enable effective mycotoxin risk management.

With over 40 years of experience in mycotoxin detection, Romer Labs is a leader in the field, offering an extensive portfolio of comprehensive testing solutions.

Mycotoxin Reference Materials for Accurate and Reliable Analysis Results

The Biopure™ product line provides mycotoxin reference materials in both crystalline and liquid forms. These calibrants are thoroughly characterized by reliable independent methods, such as HPLC, NMR, and LC-MS/MS, ensuring their identity and purity.

In compliance with ISO Guide 31, each mycotoxin reference material includes a certificate that indicates the uncertainty of the target analyte and documents the traceability of the certified value. Customized calibrants can also be offered upon request.

Biopure™ ¹³C Isotope-Labelled Internal Standards

Biopure™ ¹³C-labeled mycotoxins are used as internal standards in analytical methods such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for the accurate quantification of mycotoxins in various samples. The ¹³C label provides a unique mass signature that allows the labeled compound to be distinguished from the naturally occurring, unlabeled mycotoxin during analysis.

By using Biopure™ ¹³C-labeled mycotoxin reference materials, analysts can correct for matrix effects and sample preparation recovery losses, improving the accuracy and reliability of their results.
