Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of different kinds of moulds. Their presence is often inevitable as these are natural contaminants of a wide range of crop plants and fruits. Such mycotoxin-contamined materials are not only toxic to humans, but also to animals and therefore pose a major health risk for the consumer.

In order to ensure food and feed safety, more than 100 countries have established regulations for mycotoxins in food and feed. Consequently, reliable and efficient mycotoxin testing solutions are of greatest importance.
