  • Let anyone test when needed

    Make fast decisions about raw material intake, segregation and process adjustments such as the use of additive binders and ensure compliance with legal requirements. Avoid human error with a fully automated process that requires no special skills. Just place the grinded sample and push start.

  • Control quality and cost with easy access to data

    FossManager™ networking software allows you to connect your MycoFoss™ solution in a network of grain and feed analysis instruments

    • Access analysis data from all instruments and sites to ensure consistent quality throughout your organisation

    • Better monitoring ensures adherence to food safety regulations and standard operational procedures

    • Store your data safely with back up and long-term data storage

  • Make better decisions

    MycoFoss™ enables testing of up to 6 mycotoxins in one analysis. Increase your knowledge about mycotoxin contamination levels and make more informed decisions with accurate data.
 

Smarter management of mycotoxin risks in the grain industry

For grain producers and flour millers, protecting consumers from the harmful effects of mycotoxin contamination is of utmost importance. Learn how fast, accurate and reliable results make it easier for producers to check contamination levels and match international food safety requirements.

Smarter management of mycotoxin risks in the feed industry

For feed millers, the threat of mycotoxin contamination of crops must be handled already at raw material intake. Learn how fast, accurate and reliable results can help you make better decisions about when to safely accept raw material, segregate products or take calculated risks when adding toxin binders.
