Mycotoxin Testing by ELISA

Introduction

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi that can contaminate food and feed products. The analysis of mycotoxins involves complex extraction and detection protocols due to the diversity of mycotoxins and the variability of matrices. Reliable and accurate methods are necessary to ensure food and feed safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. CellMade has established a comprehensive range of analytical methods to determine all mycotoxins of interest via mono- or multi-mycotoxin methods using robust Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) methods and LC-MS/MS techniques.

ELISA and LC-MS/MS methods for mycotoxin analysis

CellMade offers a range of analytical methods for the detection of mycotoxins in food and feed products. ELISA methods enable for rapid screening for specific mycotoxins of interest, while LC-MS/MS techniques are extremely accurate and adaptable to a large range of food- and feedstuffs matrices. ELISA is a well-established method for mycotoxin analysis, providing reliable and rapid results with good sensitivity and specificity. It is a cost-effective method for routine monitoring of mycotoxins in food and feed products. However, LC-MS/MS is currently the reference method of choice due to its extreme sensitivity and selectivity. LC-MS/MS can provide accurate quantitative data for multiple mycotoxins simultaneously, even at low levels, making it the state-of-the-art method for mycotoxin analysis.
