Your Competence Centre for organic contaminants

The Eurofins Centre of Excellence for the analysis of mycotoxins combines decades of experience with state-of-the-art technology. Our experts analyse mycotoxins and biotoxins in a wide range of food and feed matrices. Our expertise encompasses both the homogenisation of large sample volumes and the adaptation of methods to specific matrices. Thanks to numerous, in some cases selective, extraction and purification methods, as well as highly specific detection technologies, we can reliably detect even the smallest amounts of toxins.

Our clients benefit from ongoing research, methodological development and a comprehensive portfolio of services covering all aspects of contaminant analysis.
