Enhance your mycotoxin analysis with LC-MS/MS

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites that are toxic to humans and animals. They are produced by fungi, and natural plant products such as cereals, rice, nuts and fruits are commonly used as hosts. In addition, the growth period of mycotoxins cannot be isolated to a single phase of the harvesting cycle: it can take place before the harvest, after the harvest or even during storage.

According to a fact sheet published by the World Health Organization (WHO), acute mycotoxin poisoning can affect immune systems and cause cancer, so it is critical to detect their presence. LC-MS/MS helps meet this need by providing sensitive, selective and accurate detection of known, unknown and modified mycotoxins and enabling multiresidue quantification analysis in a single run.
