Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by molds, which grow on a variety of different crops and foodstuffs such as cereals, nuts, spices, dried fruits, apples and coffee beans. These toxins pose a health threat to humans, pets and livestock, potentially causing a number of adverse health effects. It’s not only plant-based foods that are at risk; milk may also have a presence of aflatoxin M1, the concentration of which depends on the aflatoxin ingested by the dairy cows through their foodstuffs.
Gold Standard provides comprehensive solutions for mycotoxin screening, from on-site early detection by rapid tests to a variety of cost-efficient, high-throughput ELISA kits and analyzers, and even clean-up devices for laboratories performing confirmational verifications through instrumental analysis. Their on-field trainings and R&D services to customize, verify and validate our customers’ applications complete the product offering.

Immunoafficity Columns (IACs)
For the majority of regulated mycotoxins, they offer an extensive portfolio of mycotoxin immunoaffinity columns. Their SENSIColumn IACs are simple and reliable sample purification solutions.
Key Benefits of the IACs
- Highly specific and fast purification with monoclonal antibodies
- Availability of specific columns and “combi” columns for multi-mycotoxin groups
- Wide range of applications for various matrices; long shelf life
- Multi-analyte IACs for LC-MS/MS application
Control Materials, Standards and EIA reagents
To complete your mycotoxins screening, Gold Standard provides solutions including matrix-based control materials and standard solutions. These products are relevant both in the evaluation and validation process and in routine Internal Quality Control and External Quality Assurance.
To support the routine execution, either manually or through automation, Gold Standard Diagnostics provide additional standards and specific solutions combined with our ELISA portfolio.
