LCTechSample Preparation of Mycotoxins

Customised Solutions

Customised Solutions

For mycotoxin analysis LCTech offer highly selective immunoaffinity columns (IAC), specific SPE columns or the unique CrossTOX® as a multitoxin column. All these columns can be used manually as well as in automation. The columns in SMART format are excellent for fast sample preparation with reduced solvent usage

Immunoaffinity Columns

The LCTech immunoaffinity columns are used successfully for a wide range of matrices.
High matrix tolerance
High loading capacity
Matrix-optimised application protocols
Can be automated by robotic system

AflaCLEAN™

The LCTech AflaCLEAN™ columns are based on immunoaffinity and are suitable for cleaning up aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 in food and feed samples for HPLC and LC-MS/MS analysis. The antibodies used show a high specificity against the respective mycotoxin. The chromatographic results are outstanding, without any interfering signals and with very high recovery rates, even with difficult samples.
