Blank Material
06/05/2026
This quality control material is maize, which is provided as maize flour. The analytes of interest on this occasion are classed as multi-mycotoxins. This is a characterised blank material that has been screened for an extensive range of analytes and 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.
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.
Multi-Mycotoxin testing is required to provide high quality produce which is safe to consume. By targeting a large amount of mycotoxin analytes at a time, large cost savings benefits can be obtained. This is especially valuable with the current growing global supply chain trends where policing effective storage conditions can prove extremely difficult.
Maize is used within a large amount of foodstuffs, through its many forms and as an ingredient in many processed foods. As such effective testing measures can have a real impact in reducing any low quality maize products being added into consumer foodstuffs, maintaining global maize food safety.
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.
