Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by molds that can contaminate a wide range of crops and fruits. When contaminated with mycotoxins, these crops become toxic to humans and animals, making them a major health issue.
To ensure food and feed safety, more than 100 countries have established regulations for mycotoxins in food and feed. Therefore, reliable testing solutions as part of an efficient mycotoxin risk management program are essential.
With over 40 years of experience in the field, Romer Labs offers the most comprehensive portfolio of mycotoxin testing solutions:
- Test kits for detecting regulated mycotoxins in agricultural commodities, grain by-products, and feed formulations
- The broadest range of mycotoxin reference materials currently available on the market
- Columns for one-step and immunoaffinity cleanup
- Analytical services in our four ISO 17025-accredited laboratories located in the United States, Austria, Singapore, and China
The latest data shows that the majority of the world's soybeans - between 80% and 90% - is produced using genetically modified (GM) soy. In the case of maize, approximately 30% is genetically modified. As worldwide cultivation of GM plants continues to expand, and import and labeling regulations become more intricate, accurate and effective GMO screening becomes increasingly necessary.
Romer Labs offers a comprehensive range of immunoassays for quick and easy GMO detection. Our extensive portfolio includes over 60 test kits that detect the most relevant traits in crops such as corn, soybean, canola, cotton, sugarbeet, alfalfa, and rice. Our tests are designed to meet your needs, no matter the crop or the combination of traits you need to detect.
Meat and bone meal (MBM) is a valuable source of essential amino acids, minerals, and other nutrients, making it an attractive ingredient for animal feed formulations. However, the use of MBM in animal feed has become controversial due to concerns over its safety and potential health risks. While it has been banned in many countries due to its potential health risks, its use is subject to strict regulations and safety protocols in countries where it is permitted. Testing for MBM is, therefore, an important step in ensuring the safety, quality, and regulatory compliance of animal feed products.
The AgraStrip® FeedChek™ test kit is designed to detect the presence of MBM in animal feedstuffs, such as raw materials and finished feeds.
