Focus of the MonthLCTech Mycotoxins

1 July 2025by verulam

Around 25% of global food production is destroyed due to mycotoxin contamination. The analytical detection of toxins in food and feed therefore holds a high importance for cost-effectiveness and the health of the global population.

 

Samples are traditionally prepared using highly selective immunoaffinity columns (IAC). However, the use of LC-MS/MS is growing in importance for the multiple determination of different toxins and requires different clean-up methods.

 

Read on to discover sample preparation products for mycotoxin analysis.

 

LCTech offers products and automation concepts for mycotoxin analysis that support both food and feed manufacturers and laboratories. These include highly-selective immunoaffinity columns (IAC), specific SPE columns and CrossTOX® as a multi-toxin column. All columns can be used manually or automatically; the SMART columns are particularly ideal for fast sample preparation with low solvent use.

 

CrossTOX® for Multi Toxin Analysis

  • Push-through clean-up for multi mycotoxin analysis
  • Quick sample preparation for LC-MS/MS application
  • Maximum matrix depletion and wide application range
  • For at least 18 different mycotoxins

 

Immunoaffinity Columns SMART

  • Range of application as for standard IAC columns
  • Accelerates sample clean-up, reduces waste and costs
  • aflatoxins B/G, aflatoxin M1 or ochratoxin A
  • Can be automated for 24/7 processing

 

Immunoaffinity Columns Standard (3 mL)

  • High matrix tolerance
  • High loading capacity
  • Matrix-optimised application protocols
  • Can be automated by robotic system
