Fapas mycotoxin reference materials meet the need for control samples to comply with quality assurance processes. This gives the most useful benchmark possible together with Fapas’ commitment to real food matrices, giving an as close to real life testing environment as possible.
This reference material is maize flour containing Aflatoxins, with reference values for individual aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 and total 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 the food chain.
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.
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.
They also have a defined chain of traceability, so you have total confidence in your reference materials. This is further supported through our reference materials associated datasheet which covers its reference values and expanded uncertainty. This data sheet is invaluable for method validation or verification as well as an effective tool for staff training, to standardise your testing processes.
