WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
News
This year the 45th Mycotoxin Workshop will take place from 2 - 5 June 2024 in Vienna (A).
There you will have the opportunity to listen to presentations by experts in mycotoxin research on the genetics of toxigenic fungi and their occurrence in food and feed.
You can also take part in discussions on biomarkers, toxicology and risk assessment. In addition, posters on various topics will be presented. LCTech mycotoxin expert Dr Frederik Wuppermann will also be present with his poster "SMART Matrix Removal for Multi-Mycotoxin Analysis Using CRossTOX® Columns".
The analytica 2024 was once again a great experience and a pleasure to meet many familiar and new faces live.
The personal exchange was very lively and very varied thanks to the cooperation with our partners from the Skalar Group.
We had the opportunity to explain our exhibited systems, such as the FREESTYLE ThermELUTE™ and the DEXTech Heat, briefly and concisely but also in detail to numerous interested parties.
Conclusion: The analytica is a MUST event that also brings pleasure and success.
The extensive service training consists of comprehensive introductions to the latest technical developments of FREESTYLE SPE / EVA and XANA as well as detailed hardware and software training. We provide deeper insights into our technical systems and applications so that our sales partners can handle customer enquiries more efficiently and accurately.

Application note "Extraction of PFAS from Soil Using EluCLEAN® PFAS SPE Columns"
This AppNote shows a new single SPE cartridge solution with a polymeric sorbent optimized for PFAS enrichment. The EluCLEAN® PFAS - WAX/GCB SPE column can equivalently replace the dispersing clean-up step and the WAX SPE cartridge used in US EPA 1633 (4th draft). This innovative method saves valuable time and costs.
Aflatoxin analysis of almond and sesame products
Almonds and sesame seeds are very often contaminated with aflatoxins. If they exceed the legal limits, they are withdrawn from the market or not permitted for trading. The AflaCLEAN columns provide an extremely qualitative, robust and sensitive tool for mycotoxin clean-up of foodstuff.
