ISO 30921 T-2 and HT-2 Toxin Testing in Oat-Based Feed
The testing of oat-based feed for the presence of the mycotoxins T-2 and HT-2 is critical to ensure food safety, animal health, and compliance with international standards. These toxins, produced by Fusarium species, can significantly impact livestock performance and human health when present at harmful levels in feeds.
Our laboratory specializes in the analysis of oat-based feed for these specific mycotoxins using advanced analytical methods that adhere to ISO 30921:2021. This standard provides a robust framework for quantifying T-2 and HT-2 toxins, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
The testing process begins with the collection of feed samples, which should be representative of the batch being tested. Samples are then prepared according to ISO 30921 guidelines, involving the extraction of mycotoxins from the sample matrix using appropriate solvents and clean-up techniques such as solid-phase extraction (SPE) or liquid-liquid partitioning.
Once the samples are prepared, they undergo analysis via high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). This method provides accurate quantification of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in a wide dynamic range. The precision and accuracy of this technique ensure that any trace amounts of these mycotoxins are detected, allowing for timely corrective actions if necessary.
The results from our laboratory are reported according to ISO 30921:2021, providing clear thresholds for the acceptable levels of T-2 and HT-2 toxins. This ensures that feed manufacturers and processors can adhere to regulatory requirements and maintain product quality.
Our team of experts is dedicated to ensuring that every test conducted adheres strictly to ISO 30921:2021, providing reliable data for decision-making processes in the food & feed sector.
