Mycotoxin Screening
Mycotoxins are the toxic secondary chemical byproduct of Fungi that have colonized on various agricultural commodities in the field and/or during storage. Mycotoxins can cause disease and death in both humans and other animals.
Exposure to highly carcinogenic Ochratoxins or Aflatoxins—two types of mycotoxins—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.
