Molds can produce toxic metabolic byproducts—known as mycotoxins—during cultivation, harvesting, storage, or transport. Invisible to the naked eye, these substances can significantly compromise the quality of food and animal feed. Regular monitoring is essential to minimize risks to consumers and livestock.

Rapid tests enable the quick screening of a wide range of raw materials for common mycotoxins. They deliver reliable results in a short time, helping to identify contaminated batches at an early stage. This allows for efficient management of production processes, a reduction in economic losses, and compliance with statutory limits.

Depending on the specific application, test solutions are available for various mycotoxins, such as aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, zearalenone, fumonisins, and deoxynivalenol (DON). Their ease of use makes them a practical solution for agriculture, feed manufacturing, food production, and incoming goods inspections.

The targeted use of modern rapid tests helps ensure quality standards and enables the early detection of potential contamination. This fosters trust throughout the supply chain and contributes to the provision of safe food and animal feed.
