Testing accurately and efficiently for mycotoxins is highly important in food production and agriculture. The Charm Mycotoxin EZ-M Reader provides an automated testing method that's quick and easy to use.

Mycotoxins occur naturally in food and come from moulds that grow on crops and other foodstuffs. They can cause serious health problems for both humans and animals.

By screening grains as they receive them, food manufacturers can reassure themselves that the raw materials they're using are of the right quality.

Use the Charm Mycotoxin EZ-M Reader to test for:

Mycotoxins

on these products:

• Cereal grains

• Barley.

Why Choose the Charm Mycotoxin EZ-M Reader?

• The device automatically incubates test strips for the correct time and analyses the results

• This automated system reduces user error

• It has a user-friendly touchscreen interface

• It saves data securely to an external SD card, capable of storing 100,000 results

• All data is exportable

• Charm EZ-M reader will read any quantitative ROSA mycotoxin strip.

How Does it Work?

Charm EZ-M reader reads lateral flow test strips, including tests for:

• Aflatoxin

• DON (vomitoxin)

• Ochratoxin

• T-2 and HT-2 toxins

• Zearalenone.

Each mycotoxin test has a different colour strip that the Charm EZ-M system will identify.

Charm EZ-M is a combined incubator and reader. Once you insert the test strip, the device incubates it for the appropriate time, then tests it automatically once the incubation is complete.

This is a streamlined process, fast enough that under certain conditions, it can provide real-time analysis on raw ingredients as part of acceptance testing.

You can customise the system to meet your specific testing and processing needs, such as:

• Incubating and reading tests

• Batch testing

• Reading externally incubated multiple tests.

Rapid, Automated Mycotoxin Testing

Rapid mycotoxin testing in food and grain, this device presents an automated system that doesn't require specialist knowledge to operate, but does reduce user error.

Once it immediately identifies the test strip colour, the device automatically adjusts incubation time, temperature and calibration, to match each individual sample quickly.

This fast, on-site testing capability supports food manufacturers, enabling their facilities to test materials on the spot before accepting them.

The device securely stores all data, and this information is exportable to other devices and formats, such as Excel.
