Fermentek is a global leader in the production of certified Mycotoxin and Microcystin reference materials for food and water safety labs and for R&D.

Mycotoxins are toxic fungal metabolites that appear in food and feed as a result of fungal infection of crops such as cereals, dried fruit and many other agricultural products. Mycotoxins entering the food chain are harmful to both animal and human health.

Mycotoxins are among the most potent natural carcinogens known. They can target the kidney, liver and immune system, and are a well-known cause of illness and death. The presence of Mycotoxins is unavoidable. Therefore, testing of raw materials and final products is vital to keep our food and feed safe.

Accurate analysis of Mycotoxins depends upon the use of certified Mycotoxin standard reference materials that are used for calibration and validation of food safety analytical instruments and methods.

Fermentek offers reference materials available either in crystalline form or in liquid form as standard solutions. High quality standards, calibrants, and reference materials are a prerequisite for valid results in any analysis.

A standard solution is a type of solution with an accurately known compound concentration. Fermentek’s standard solutions are of high quality and constitute the liquid portion of the reference materials. They are flawlessly made up of exact concentrations in organic solvents. These standard solutions have been prepared from the primary standards which are of specifically high purity.

In chemical experiments, using standard solutions is a matter of inevitability as they are important in determining the concentration of another substance of unknown concentration. To provide for such accuracy in concentration determination, Fermentek's high quality standard solutions are prepared using gravimetrical procedures and their analyte compositions and concentrations are confirmed using HPLC.

Fermentek’s readily available standard solutions are great time savers and are highly useful for the determination of mycotoxins and microcystin found in most samples of food (Aflatoxins), feed commodities (Fumonisins) or water (Microcystins). Since the standards are important for parallel and simultaneous detection of multiple mycotoxin analytes in food samples, Fermentek offers composites of Mycotoxins Standards as well.

Our standard solutions are offered in various volumes and are packaged in pre-cleaned amber glass ampoules fitted with Teflon-faced butyl septa and aluminum seals to ensure the solution’s full purity and stability. They are a top choice for customers who need to achieve seamless and efficient determination procedures while saving time. Each prepared standard solution is accompanied with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA).

Ready-to-use Standard solutions save time, reduce hazardous handling of toxins and enable more precise and accurate determination of the presence of Mycotoxin or Microcystins tested samples. These solutions are ideal for customers who strive to ensure accurate HPLC Mycotoxin or Microcystin determination with minimal preparation and effort.
