Mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are a group of naturally occurring chemicals produced by certain moulds. They can grow on a wide variety of different agricultural commodities, animal feed and foodstuffs including cereals, nuts, spices, dried fruits, apple juice and coffee, often under warm and humid conditions.

The mycotoxins of most concern from a food safety perspective include the aflatoxins (B₁, B₂, G₁, G₂ and M₁), ochratoxin A, and toxins produced by Fusarium moulds, including fumonisins (B₁, B₂ and B₃), trichothecenes (principally nivalenol, Deoxynivalenol, T-2 and HT-2 toxin) and zearalenone.

Bio-Check (UK) offers a wide range of mycotoxin detection products that cover these legislated toxins, enabling you to reliably and cost-effectively test for their presence in a range of sample types. We distribute products from the leading manufacturers, VICAM-Waters and Helica.
