VICAM
Founded in 1987 by Harvard and MIT scientists and agribusiness executives,
VICAM commercialized its flagship immunoaffinity column for the rapid detection of aflatoxin.
At that time, the development of rapid, user-friendly mycotoxin tests was still in its infancy. With a leadership team that included pioneering aflatoxin researcher Dr. Gerald Wogan,
VICAM created a worldwide reputation for leadership in the development of rapid diagnostic solutions. VICAM’s application of rapid immuno-chemical techniques to contaminant detection in particular would ultimately change the way food and agricultural businesses worldwide monitor their raw materials and finished goods for quality and safety.

VICAM’s provide the tools to test all common mycotoxins in a wide variety of agricultural commodities using a range of technologies from cost-effective rapid tests to high end HPLC and LC/MS analysis.
VICAM IN AUSTRALIA
Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites produced by several common species of fungi, they have serious health and economic impacts when present in human and animal food and feed. The mycotoxin limits allowed in various commodities is regulated by Australian and international regulations and is of increasing importance in relation to the export of Australian products.
In conjunction with VICAM’s, Deltagen Australia is able to provide sales and technical backup to assist Australian producers managing this problem.
TECHNOLOGIES
HPLC/UPLC, LC/MS
Optimized sample cleanup and precise, reproducible results remain the core strength of our HPLC line.
VICAM’s wide-bore (faster-flow) columns ensure the increased sample throughput and top-notch HPLC performance you need to boost productivity in today’s stringent regulatory environment.VICAM’s columns enable labs to analyze parts-per-billion (ppb) levels of several simultaneously occurring mycotoxins in a single HPLC, UPLC® or LC/MS run.
