Fumonisin

Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by the fungus Fusarium moniliforme. F. moniliforme is a frequent, almost universal, inhabitant of corn. Fumonisin B1, B2 and B3 are present in most corn samples tested, often totaling greater than 1 ppm. Fumonisin is thought to cause equine leukoencephalomalacia in horses, swine pulmonary edema, and human esophageal cancer. The FDA/USDA Working Group on Fumonisin advises less than 4 ppm fpr products for human consumption, less than 5 mg/kg in horse feed, less than 10 mg/kg for swine feed, and less than 50 mg/kg for cattle feed.

• FumoniTest 200

  FumoniTest™ 200 is a quantitative method for the detection of Fumonisin B1, B2 and B3 in a variety of commodities. FumoniTest 200 can be performed by anyone who needs quick, easy to perform and highly accurate fumonisin analysis to improve the quality of the food supply.

• Fumo-V

  Fumo-V™ strip tests use the proven sensitivity and selectivity of VICAM’s monoclonal antibodies to accurately detect and measure total fumonisin B1, B2, and B3 at levels as low as 0.2 ppm and as high as 5 ppm. The single dilution sample preparation procedure saves time and materials, and the test strip develops in just 5 minutes. Digital results are displayed on the Vertu Lateral Flow reader, eliminating the need for subjective visual interpretation.

• FumoniTest WB

  FumoniTest™ WB is a quantitative method for the detection of Fumonisin B1, B2 and B3 in a variety of commodities. The FumoniTest WB methods described in this manual are sample preparations for HPLC quantitation. The methods are intended for customers with HPLC equipment and experience.
