FumoniTest - Mycotoxin Testing System - Brochure

Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by the fungus Fusarium moniliforme. Frequent, almost universal inhabitants of corn, fumonisin B] and fumonisin B2 are present in most corn samples tested, often at greater than 1 ppm. Fumonisin is thought to cause equine leukoencephalomalacia in horses, swine pulmonary edema, and human esophageal cancer. The FDA/USDA Working Group on Fumonisin advises levels of less than 4 ppm for products for human consumption, less than 5 ppm in horse feed, less than 20 ppm for swine feed and less than 30 ppm for cattle feed.Using monoclonal antibody-based affinity chromatography, FumoniTest™ from VICAM is the trusted fumonisin test that produces precise numerical results.
