For Persistent Difficulties

Contamination of Food and Feed
with Mycotoxins

Approximately 25 % of global food production is destroyed due to mycotoxin contamination. The analytical detection of toxins in food and feed is therefore of great importance for the health of the world's population and for economic efficiency.

The congress brought together leading experts, researchers and companies to discuss the latest developments and innovative approaches in dealing with dioxins and PFAS.
We thank the organisers, speakers as well as participants and look forward to integrating the insights gained into our business strategy.

The FRESENIUS University of Applied Sciences organised an international symposium on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (#PFAS) from 31 August to 1 September 2023.

Our Product Manager Sorbents Dr. Thomas Gersthagen was represented at the poster exhibition Session 1 Analytical Tools (PO 1_2) with the poster "Extraction and Matrix Clean-up of Legacy and Emerging PFAS in Different Matrices" and, together with our sales expert Dr. Muck, was able to competently answer emerging questions about our products.

On July 18th, 184 graduates of the Berufsschulzentrum (vocational school center) in Mühldorf celebrated their graduation. LCTech apprentice Maximilian Karl also graduated as an industrial clerk IHK and was honored for his outstanding grade point average of 1.0 with a state award from District Administrator Max Heimerl.

Michael Baumann, as well as the entire staff, congratulate Mr. Karl on his successful graduation and are looking forward to a continued very good cooperation with him.

The Gymnastics- and Sportsclub Obertaufkirchen has built a new children's playground with great commitment. Thanks to the efforts of numerous helpers who put in countless hours of work, it was now officially opened. On June 17th, the playground was finally inaugurated by many enthusiastic children.

Evaporation of 55 PFAS with D-EVA

To analyse PFAS, plastic materials are used instead of glass. The standard rotors of the D-EVA allow centrifuge tubes made not only from glass but also from plastic to be used for evaporation. The special sensor of the PFAS version enables the evaporation of up to 23 Falcon tubes.

23 x 40 mL to 500 – 900 µL in under 3 h or 53 x 10 mL nearly to dryness in 2 h.

AppNote "Fully automated mycotoxin analysis of peppers"

EU Regulation 1370/2022 has adjusted the limits for ochratoxin A, leading to an increased demand for more sensitive analysis and rising sample numbers. This poses a challenge for sample preparation, as it must be robust and reproducible to cope with the high sample reproducible in order to cope with the high sample volume and the heterogeneity of the sample materials.
