Aflatoxin M1
08/09/2024
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi on agricultural commodities in the field or during storage. It is estimated that 25% of the world's food crops are affected, resulting in large commercial losses. Mycotoxins can cause serious health problems (including some being suspected carcinogens with particularly potential damage to the liver) and so are tightly regulated across the world. Mycotoxin contamination is the largest cause of rapid alerts raised against imported food products.
Aflatoxin M1 is both a toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxin that has been shown to cause immunosuppression in animals. Due to the nature of this aflatoxin and the regulations governing its use, the levels of this analyte in this matrix is set at low concentrations and as such require effective testing to which you need to demostrate something, easily proven through proficiency testing. The test material is provided in a powder form.
Reference materials offer key advantages for laboratories, over and above that of quality control materials. With an improved degree of characterisation compared to proficiency tests or quality control materials, reference materials have a plethora of uses, including method calibration
