Toxins of microbial origin are more harmful biotoxins, mainly including small molecules of mycotoxins, protein toxins, lipopolysaccharide endotoxins, and so on. Quantifying microbial toxins typically involves the precise measurement of the concentration of a specific toxin to assess its potential hazards and risks. Lifeasible has many years of experience in providing services for the quantification of microbial toxins, and we offer this quantitative analysis to assess food safety, environmental monitoring, and biopharmaceuticals, among others.

Importance of Microbial Toxins Quantification in Agriculture

• By quantitatively detecting microbial toxins in agricultural products, the level of toxins in food can be effectively monitored and controlled, and food safety problems caused by mycotoxins and other toxins can be reduced.
• The quantitative detection of microbial toxins helps to assess the environmental risks in the agricultural production process and provides a scientific basis for agricultural production.
• Quantitative testing can detect disease microorganisms and their toxins in crops promptly to take effective preventive and control measures to reduce crop losses.
• Quantitative microbial toxin detection plays a vital role in promoting the development of new agricultural functional products, such as guiding the development of microorganisms to control toxin-producing fungi.

Our Service for Microbial Toxins Quantification

Quantification of micro

Microquantification has a sensitivity that significantly improves the accuracy and applicability of the assay.

High-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS)

As a means of gas-phase ion separation, coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), it enables multidimensional analysis of the differential isomers of PSP toxins.

Biosensor assay

We significantly enhance the electrochemical response sensitivity of the sensing system through the synergy of novel nanostructured materials and a bionic recognition interface. The combination of miniaturized fluidic control modules and high-density detection arrays is used to build a scalable multi-parameter detection platform for high-throughput and low-cost rapid screening of harmful substances of microbial origin.

Mass spectrometry

Mass spectrometry is increasingly used to accurately quantify multiple toxin analogs simultaneously. Adequate extraction of toxins is a prerequisite for accurate quantification, and LC-MS/MS is a good method for determining mycobacterial and bacterial metabolites in food and feed.

Our technology is continuously updated to give more sophisticated and precise quantification of microbial toxins. For example, LC-MS/MS methods are used for various biotoxin investigations, enhancing the assay's sensitivity and specificity. Additionally, biosensor technology has been used to detect microbial poisons quickly and sensitively.
