Vicam, a Waters business, has launched Vertu, a digital lateral flow reader designed to provide simple and rapid mycotoxin quantitation for food and agriculture producers.
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring chemical by-products of ubiquitous mould species, which are natural inhabitants of crop soils.
Vicam offers detection systems for single and multiple mycotoxin quantification both onsite and in-laboratory screening.
No special training or expertise is required to operate Vicam's Vertu lateral flow reader.
Operators obtain results in part-per-billion (ppb) or part-per-million (ppm) in minutes, providing critical data for the management and control of mycotoxins.
