Spectrum Top - Model 50 -Mycotoxin Contamination Animal Health Feed
Only analyzing for single mycotoxins can lead to underestimation of the detrimental effects of mycotoxins on animal health and performance. Our long-term monitoring of mycotoxins in different commodities shows that co-occurrence of mycotoxins is the rule and not the exception. With Spectrum Top® 50 reliable tailor made risk assessment can be made, taking into account potential synergistic and additive effects of co-occurring mycotoxins.
The Spectrum Top® 50 method detects and quantifies more than 50 different mycotoxins and metabolites belonging to the following groups:
- Aflatoxins
- Ergot Alkaloids
- Alternaria Toxins
- Fumonisins
- Aspergillus Toxins
- Fusarium Metabolites
- A-Trichothecenes
- Ochratoxins
- B-Trichothecenes
- Penicillium Toxins
- Enniatins and Beauvericin
- Zearalenone- Metabolites
Spectrum Top® 50 uses an innovative LC-MS/MS method capable of determining over 50 different mycotoxins and metabolites simultaneously, including the analysis of certain undetected masked mycotoxins, with high specificity and sensitivity.
This technique increases current capabilities of detection and analysis, while providing insights into the most frequently occurring and emerging mycotoxins on the field.
The analytical method behind Spectrum Top® 50 is the Multi-Mycotoxin Analysis 50+, developed by scientists of Romer Labs, a leading global supplier of diagnostic solutions for food and feed safety.
