Toxin Analysis

Naturally occurring toxins represent some of the most lethal chemicals known to humans when consumed. Some examples include shellfish poisoning  and mycotoxin contamination of field crops. Because these compounds can be cytotoxic or even carcinogenic, they are highly regulated. Antibiotics and other contaminants may also be present.

Exceed regulatory requirements for toxin quantitation

The AB SCIEX Food & Beverage Solution for Toxin Analysis easily exceeds the quantitative sensitivity required to meet regulatory guidelines for most toxins. The 4000 QTRAP® System offers the performance required to screen, identify, and quantify dozens of toxins in a single analysis, allowing you to minimize sample preparation and matrix effects for accurate quantitation of Shellfish toxins, microcystins, and mycotoxins.

The 4000 QTRAP® System exceeds regulatory requirements for sensitivity and accuracy for the quantification and identification of toxins in a single run.

• Automatically perform MRM ratio calculation and library searches with the simple, four-step Cliquid® Software workflow.
• Easily adapt the iMethod^TM Test for mycotoxin screening.
• Perform additional tests for antibiotics, pesticides, and other contaminants and food additives.
