Mycotoxin Screening
Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites produced by certain fungi that can infect and proliferate on various agricultural commodities in the field and/or during storage.
Exposure to highly carcinogenic aflatoxins—a type of mycotoxin—can cause abdominal pain, edema, hemorrhaging, liver damage, mental impairment, convulsions, coma, and even death.
We use enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to identify and quantify mycotoxins.
