Mycotoxins occur in various commodities, many of them highly complex. Compared to the amounts of other components in agricultural commodities like carbohydrates, fatty acids or proteins the amounts of mycotoxins present in a sample are incredibly low. Our clean up columns have to fulfill certain criteria:

  • Recover the toxin of interest quantitatively
  • Separate the toxin of interest in much higher amounts
  • Save time and costs

Our range of clean up column (single step multifunctional or immunoaffinity columns) for sample preparation prior to TLC, HPLC or GC analysis gives you the most complete choice available, with solutions for multitoxin analysis using MS detection also available. Our patented clean up columns are AOAC approved and are well recognized in the scientific community.

 

 
 
 
 

MycoSep

MycoSep® Columns
MycoSep® columns from Romer Labs® remove analytical interferences from food and feed extracts in one quick, easy step, eliminating washing and elution steps found in solid phase extraction and affinity columns. This patented system allows multifunctional clean up for HPLC, GC, Mass Spectroscopy, Fluorometry and TLC analysis of 17 different mycotoxins, with optimal precision and accuracy, and recovery of 85-100%.  

MycoSep® columns allow a one-step clean up within 30 seconds: The MycoSep® clean up column is pushed into a test tube (containing the extract), forcing the extract to filter upwards through the packing material of the column. The interferences adhere to the chemical packing in the column and the purified extract passes through a membrane (frit) to the surface of the column.

MultiSep

Multisep® Columns
MycoSep® clean up columns are also available in our MultiSep® syringe format, giving our customers higher flexibility in choosing their preferred format. MultiSep® columns are not only used for direct sample clean up, they can also be used when additional clean up is necessary.

MultiSep® columns are basic solid phase extraction (SPE) columns in the syringe format. These columns may be attached to SPE stations thus allowing the application of vacuum or positive pressure as well as working with gravity. They function either as 3 step (conditioning, adsorption, elution) columns for sample clean up, or as 2 step (conditioning, elution) additional sample clean up of complex matrices in combination with MycoSep® columns.

 
 
 

 

Star IAC

Star™ Immunoaffinity Columns
Star™ immunoaffinity columns (IACs) are reliable and user friendly, designed for rapid and simple purification of mycotoxins from complex matrices, in cases where extremely low limits of detection are required (e.g. determination of toxins in baby food).

Immunoaffinity columns contain antibodies that selectively bind the toxin of interest from the crude extract. During the clean up step interferences can be washed from the column while the toxin is immobilized on the column. In the last step the toxin can be eluted from the column for determination. Using this highly specific technology, most clean up problems can be solved.
