Up to 6 Mycotoxins Simultaneously

Detect aflatoxins, DON, ZEN, OTA, fumonisins and more in a single run – reducing cost and hands-on time per sample.

EN ISO 13485 Certified

Sysmex Partec GmbH holds EN ISO 13485 certification – the international standard for quality management systems in medical devices and laboratory instruments.

Industry Pressures

Challenges in the Food & Feed Industry

The food and feed industry faces increasing pressure to ensure product safety, maintain regulatory compliance and reduce operational costs simultaneously.

Microbiological Risks

Ensuring microbiological quality across raw materials, production processes and end products requires reliable, rapid testing at every stage. Contamination can be invisible to the naked eye yet pose severe health risks.

Mycotoxin Compliance

Meeting strict legal mycotoxin limits in food, animal feed and seed is non-negotiable. EU Regulation 1881/2006 and related legislation set maximum levels that require accurate, documented measurement protocols.

Time & Cost Pressure

Conventional detection methods cause high time expenditure and significant costs per sample. Sending samples to external laboratories introduces delays of days to weeks, hindering rapid operational decisions.

Recall Prevention

Reduction of recall risks and product liability through proactive testing is critical. A single recall event can cost millions and cause lasting reputational damage. Early detection at every control point is the only reliable defense.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The Sysmex Partec mycotoxin testing kits enable simultaneous detection of up to 6 mycotoxins in a single measurement run, including aflatoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN), ochratoxin A (OTA), fumonisins, and T-2/HT-2 toxins depending on the kit configuration used.

Flow cytometry-based mycotoxin testing delivers results within minutes, compared to conventional ELISA or HPLC methods that can require hours to days. This enables real-time quality control decisions at raw material intake or during production.

The solutions are designed for the food industry, animal feed producers, the seed industry, grain trading and storage, milling operations, brewing and distilling, and any organization required to comply with regulatory mycotoxin limits (EU Regulation 1881/2006, FDA guidance, Codex Alimentarius standards).

Sysmex Partec GmbH holds EN ISO 13485 certification, confirming a quality management system that meets the highest standards for medical device and laboratory instrument manufacturing. All instruments and reagent kits are produced under validated, controlled manufacturing conditions.

Yes. The CyFlow™ Cube 6 V2m with optional CyFlow™ Robby 6 Autoloader integrates into laboratory and production environments. Data output is designed to support LIMS connectivity and generate traceable, documentation-ready results compatible with audit and compliance requirements.

Flow cytometry delivers quantitative, simultaneous multi-analyte detection with high reproducibility and sensitivity. Compared to ELISA (time-consuming, single analyte per run) or lateral flow strip tests (semi-quantitative, limited sensitivity), flow cytometry offers superior accuracy, speed and multiplex capability in a single instrument platform.
