Test Description

Zearalenone (ZON) is a mycotoxin produced by some Fusarium species. While in low levels no adverse effects have been attributed to it, excessive levels of ZON exposed to humans can result in potentially harmful outcomes. As such it is imperative to ensure ZON in foods and feeds is maintained within safe, low, levels.

To ensure this is the case effective testing practises must be used, as well as scrutinised sufficiently. Fapas proficiency testing measures can ensure your current testing arrangement is fit for purpose and able to produce credible, repeatable results for your customers to enjoy.

Animal feed is responsible for a large quantity of the nutritional intake of livestock. This is turn has a large effect on the quality of livestock produced. As such it I important to ensure animal feed is of high enough quality, and safe to consume, to ensure producers can maintain adequate reward for their livestock.  

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 know exactly what is in your reference materials. This is further supported through our reference materials associated data sheet which covers its reference values and expanded uncertainty. This datasheet is invaluable for method validation or verification as well as an effective tool for staff training, to standardise your testing processes.
