PerkinElmer, Inc., a leading solutions provider in the life sciences, diagnostics, food and environmental testing markets globally, has announced the launch of its MaxSignal® Mycotoxin Automation Bundle. Using the new assays and automation of this bundle, food safety QA managers and lab teams at grain processors, feed mills, pet food companies and contract labs can accurately and efficiently process up to 180 samples in less than 90 minuts.
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxic compounds that can grow on a variety of common foodstuffs and have a wide range of negative health effects, from acute poisoning to immune deficiency and even cancer.
PerkinElmer's portfolio covers both phases of mycotoxin testing: screening and confirmation tests. This offering includes complete workflows from screening to analytical confirmation, integration software and application support to develop new methods and improve existing method performance.
In addition to significant improvement in sample throughput, these automated solutions are designed to handle complex matrices with high sensitivity and accuracy. The workflow is intended to be 'set it and forget it' to minimise the need for human intervention, reduce the risk of manual error and help customers meet regulatory standards.
The detection and elimination of mycotoxin contamination in the food supply chain has been in the spotlight this year, with the UK Food Standards Agency launching a new £19m cross-government project to aid in the surveillance of foodborne disease.
Chris Hughes, UK and Ireland Managing Director, says, 'Consumer safety in the food chain is paramount, that's why PerkinElmer continuously works with customers in the UK and the rest of the world to develop innovative and cost-effective food testing solutions. Our new MaxSignal Mycotoxin Automation Bundle delivers faster time to result, absorbing spikes in regional demand and helping customers realise higher lab productivity.'
Greg Sears, Vice President and General Manager, Food Segment and Organic Mass Spectrometry, says, 'Mycotoxin testing has always been a critical facet of the workflow for high volume food processors and has traditionally required significant investments in time and labour. With our new MaxSignal Mycotoxin Automation Bundle, we are combining better and faster solutions with lower total cost per sample for intricate food matrices.'
