Mycotoxin (mold toxin) is a generic term for metabolites produced by molds on food products that are hazardous to human and animal health. To improve food safety, food processors have been inspecting ingredients for the presence of such mycotoxins. In only 14 minutes, this mycotoxin screening system is able to detect the presence of 10 mycotoxin components with high sensitivity at concentration levels specifled by EU standards, which are the strictest in the world. Furthermore, because the system does not involve a sample derivatization process, samples can be measured much more efficiently.
Shimadzu has released ELSD-LT III Evaporative Light Scattering Detector for HPLC.
The evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) is a general-purpose universal detector that can even detect components with no UV absorption, such as carbohydrates, lipids, surfactants, and synthetic polymers.
Shimadzu has released the Microsampling Device, MSW2™ Type Udck™
