Test Description

This quality control material material is an animal feed which is cereal based and is provided in a finely milled form.  The analytes of interest on this occasion are Aflatoxins.  Aflatoxin is a potent carcinogen produced by the Aspergillus flavous and Aspergillus parasiticus moulds which commonly grow and can be found in corn, which can subsequently enter into animal feed.

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi on agricultural commodities in the field or during storage.  It is estimated at 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, and so are tightly regulated across the world. Mycotoxin contamination is the largest cause of rapid alerts raised against imported food products.  Fapas has introduced multi-mycotoxin proficiency tests as well as those for emerging mycotoxins.

Fapas quality control materials can be used as an effective tool within your quality control processes. Quality control materials can be used as staff training tools, as well as for instrumentation verification techniques, within your laboratory standardisation efforts to provide repeatable results to your customers.
