VICAM A Waters Business complies with modern requirements for food safety with easy-to-use Fumo-V AQUA fast strip tests for determination of fumonisins. Advantage of the Fumo-V AQUA test is the use of water only when preparing the sample, eliminating the need to use expensive and environmentally polluting solvents.
Fumonisins are mycotoxins, a product of several types of fusarium molds. Fumonisin B1 and fumonisin B2 are common and almost universal maize occupants and are found in most samples at levels higher than 1 ppm. Fumo-V is a rapid quantitative strip test for fumonisins in corn, giving accurate results in just a few minutes.
Fumo-V AQUA test strips use the proven sensitivity and selectivity of VICAM’s monoclonal antibodies to accurately detect and measure total fumonisin B1, B2 and B3 levels as low as 0.2 ppm and as high as 100 ppm. Fumo-V AQUA eliminates the need for hazardous solvents using a water-based dilution-free extraction procedure that develops in just 5 minutes. Results are displayed on the digital screen and may also be printed or transferred to Excel for storage and use as a vital quality assurance tool.
