Test Description

Due to the high levels of aflatoxins which can be found internationally in commercially available peanut-based foodstuffs, Fapas includes this peanut based test material.  The test material is provided in a slurry format, which is a blend of both water and milled peanuts.

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.

Aflatoxins are specific mycotoxins caused by Aspergillus species of fungi. It is crucial for effective testing practices to be utilised to accurately identify this mycotoxin group from which to form mitigation and control strategies within an ever increasing global supply chain.

This blank material is ideal to ensure effective calibration curves are created. This can ensure only high-quality test results are found. Blank materials from Fapas are ideal for ensuring matrix matching takes place. By using blank materials as close to positive test samples as possible the matrix effect is dramatically reduced.

Fapas quality control materials make use of real food matrices to provide direct comparisons to your current routine analysis activities. This is vital to ensure only high-quality testing practises are employed by your laboratory to achieve the highest standard test results possible.

Through activities such as staff training and instrumentation validation Fapas quality control materials make a significant impact within your wider quality assurance practises to safeguard your high-quality testing ability.
