Maize Quality Control Material

This material is based on naturally contaminated maize and contains a representative spectrum of key mycotoxins, including Aflatoxins, Fumonisins, Deoxynivalenol, Zearalenone and Ochratoxin A. Additionally, emerging andmodified analytes such as 3-Acetyldeoxynivalenol, 15-Acetyldeoxynivalenol and Fumonisin B3 are present, reflecting authentic contamination patterns.

Quality Control Materials (QCMs)
are essential for method validation,
instrument calibration, and quality
assurance in food and feed testing
laboratories, ensuring compliance
with international regulations and
analytical consistency across
platforms. However, conventional
reference materials often lack the
complexity of real-world
contamination. Our naturally
contaminated matrix material closes
this gap, providing authentic,
traceable, and application-relevant
performance.

Our matrix material is produced from
naturally contaminated raw
commodities to ensure authentic
analytical performance. Homogeneity is verified within our
ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory,
and certified values are assigned
through an international
interlaboratory comparison
involving leading mycotoxin
reference laboratories worldwide.

Each certified value is supported by
over 100 data points generated using
LC-MS/MS, HRMS, HPLC-DAD/FLD,
and ELISA. Statistical evaluation
follows ISO 13528:2022, ensuring
robust, metrologically traceable
results. Stability is validated for 3
years under controlled conditions.
LVA Matrix Reference Materials
deliver unmatched reliability and
traceability, empowering
laboratories to achieve superior
accuracy and confidence in
mycotoxin analysis.
