DDGs/Ethanol

Ethanol coproducts such as dried distillers’ grains (DDG), distillers grains with soluble (DDGS), wet distillers grains (WDGS) and heavy steep water (HSW) are valuable nutrition sources for livestock producers. However, if inbound corn contains aflatoxin, fumonisin or other mycotoxins prior to processing, the final coproducts streams will contain concentrated levels of mycotoxins. Rapid, on-site mycotoxin monitoring tools from VICAM help protect the value of ethanol coproducts, ensuring safety and marketability.

Rapid Testing

Afla-V AQUA Grain

Accurately detect and measure total aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2) at levels as low as 2.5 ppb and as high as 100 ppb. Eliminate the need for hazardous solvents using a water-based, dilution-free extraction procedure.

Afla-V ONE

Afla-V ONE offers the world’s first lateral flow strip test capable of measuring total aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 & G2, eliminates toxin-dependent calibration completely, and reduces time to result and offers unmatched performance for aflatoxin monitoring in finished feeds.‍

Fumo-V AQUA

Accurately detect and measure total fumonisin B1, B2 and B3 levels as low as 0.2 ppm and as high as 100 ppm. Eliminate the need for hazardous solvents using a water-based dilution-free extraction procedure.

Myco 5-in-1 PLUS

Detect and quantify aflatoxin, vomitoxin (DON), fumonisin, zearalenone and ochratoxin A using a single, solvent-free sample extraction.

Laboratory Testing

AflaTest

AflaTest is a quantitative method for the detection of aflatoxin in B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, and M2. The test can be used in a wide variety of locations from the local farm elevator to food processing quality control laboratories to government testing laboratories.

DONtest LC

DONtest LC is a quantitative approach to laboratory detection of DON (also known as deoxynivalenol or vomitoxin) in parts per million (ppm) levels. Safe, rugged and reliable for use in food and agricultural testing labs around the world, DONtest LC isolates and purifies DON prior to injection to the LC or LC-MS/MS for detection.

FumoniTest

FumoniTest is a quantitative method for the detection of fumonisin B1, B2 and B3 in a variety of commodities by fluorometer or HPLC. FumoniTest is safe, fast, requires no special skills and produces precise results at parts per million levels.

Myco6in1+

Myco6in1+ columns for LC-MS/MS is a quantitative method that delivers fast, accurate and simultaneous determination of aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, nivalenol, T-2 and HT-2 toxins. Samples are purified by the Myco6in1+ LC-MS/MS immunoaffinity column before being quantitated by LC or LC-MS/MS.
