Waters Corporation has unveiled its new Fumo-V™ ONE Strip Test from its VICAM™ portfolio, a quantitative lateral flow strip test to test for fumonisin and other harmful mycotoxins in finished animal feed and pet foods. Using a water extraction, Fumo-V ONE can detect fumonisin in the range of 0.5–30 parts per million (ppm) in less than ten minutes.
Fumonisin is one of the most prevalent mycotoxins worldwide, associated with life-threatening diseases in horses and swine, as well as esophageal cancer and liver and kidney diseases in humans.
