Microbial/Mycotoxins Testing

The presence of mycotoxins is typically regulated to ppb levels. On-site detection systems and laboratory methods enable early identification of fungal issues to ensure the safety of the plants and quantitation of mycotoxins for confirmation of regulatory safety compliance.
