Feed & Grain
In the past, farmers traditionally have not had a food safety plan in place. Global markets and regulations have dictated a change in that mindset, and we at Charm Sciences partnered with farmers to create test kits and equipment to suit their needs. Charm Sciences provides the feed and grain industry with accurate, easy-to-perform, rapid tests for mycotoxins (e.g., aflatoxin, DON, fumonisin, ochratoxin, T-2/HT-2 toxins, and zearalenone) antibiotics and pesticides.

Grain
storage and handling facilities have had to introduce various measures to
ensure product safety. The transportation of grain is a key element to that
safety, and government regulators expect facilities to know what previously
traveled in any container before grain is introduced. If any of the
government’s listed prohibited products were hauled, grain employees need proof
of cleanliness. With Charm food safety tests, not only can crops can be
accurately tested for mycotoxins and antibiotics to be promptly received, but shipping
containers and processing facilities can be tested with hygiene tests.
ROSA Lateral Flow Mycotoxin Strips - Charm Sciences
Charm
tests can save time (testing in a matter of minutes), money (eliminating
brand-destroying recalls), and help keep all customers healthy.
Charm manufactures a variety of ROSA (Rapid One Step Assay) tests to detect
mycotoxins (aflatoxin, DON/vomitoxin, fumonisin, ochratoxin, T2/HT2, and
zearalenone) in feed and grain. Utilizing innovative ROSA technology, Charm
lateral flow mycotoxin tests are easy to use and provide rapid, quantitative
results. All ROSA mycotoxin tests follow a similar assay format and can be read
on the same equipment.
Test results from ROSA strips may be read and officially recorded using the
Charm EZ-M system.

Sample
extractions for ROSA mycotoxin tests can be performed using different solvents,
including water, ethanol, and methanol. Water
Extraction Technology (WET) was
developed by Charm to eliminate the need for organic solvents previously
required to extract some mycotoxins.
