Fumonisins
Fumonisin testing is essential for protecting the quality and safety of maize, corn-based foods and animal feed. Produced primarily by Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium proliferatum, fumonisins are among the most prevalent mycotoxins affecting cereal crops worldwide. Because contamination frequently occurs before harvest and can persist throughout processing, routine testing is critical for maintaining food safety, protecting livestock health and meeting regulatory requirements. R-Biopharm Australia’s comprehensive fumonisin testing portfolio combines rapid screening assays, quantitative immunoassays and advanced sample preparation technologies to deliver accurate, reliable detection across a wide range of food and feed matrices.
Protect Maize and Feed Quality from Field to Finished Product
Fumonisins are most commonly associated with maize and corn, making them a major concern for grain handlers, feed manufacturers and food processors. Contaminated grain can affect both product quality and animal performance, particularly in livestock species that are highly sensitive to fumonisin exposure. Routine fumonisin testing enables laboratories to identify contamination early, verify incoming raw materials and strengthen quality assurance throughout the production chain.
Flexible Testing Solutions for Every Laboratory
Whether performing rapid intake screening or detailed quantitative analysis, laboratories require testing methods that balance speed with analytical confidence. R-Biopharm Australia’s fumonisin testing portfolio includes RIDA®QUICK Fumonisin RQS ECO lateral flow assays for rapid on-site screening, RIDASCREEN® Fumonisin ECO ELISA kits for quantitative laboratory analysis and FUMONIPREP® immunoaffinity columns for sample clean-up prior to HPLC or LC-MS/MS confirmation. This comprehensive workflow supports laboratories across routine quality control, regulatory testing and confirmatory analysis.
