VICAM Feed Testing Equipment and Kits in Pakistan by Snap Pharma

SNAM Pharma introduced the first ever toxin detection system in Pakistan with VICAM in 1995. SNAM Pharma is the pioneer in introducing the toxin detection system for better quality of poultry feed and agrifood industries. We provide VICAM Feed Testing Equipment and Feet Testing Kits. We offer AflaCheck, DONCheck, VICAM 4-EX Fluorometer, and Vertu Touch Strip Test Reader.

VICAM was founded in 1987 by Harvard and MIT scientists and agribusiness executives, VICAM commercialized its flagship immunoaffinity column for the rapid detection of aflatoxin. As a part of Waters Corporation since 2006, VICAM has created a worldwide reputation for leadership in the development of rapid diagnostic solutions.

Feed Testing Equipment for Qualitative Toxin Detection

AflaCheck (Total Aflatoxins Detection)

AflaCheck is a quick and easy one-step test kit designed to detect total aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2) in various samples. Using highly sensitive monoclonal antibodies, it identifies aflatoxin presence at either 10 or 20 parts per billion (ppb). This test provides results in just three minutes without requiring specialized training or equipment. AflaCheck is cost-effective, durable with a long shelf life, and can be used anywhere. Its versatility allows users to choose between two detection thresholds, making it a reliable first step in feed safety testing.

DONCheck (Deoxynivalenol Detection)

DONCheck is a simple and rapid qualitative test for detecting trichothecene mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) in grain samples. Since many countries regulate DON levels, this test helps ensure compliance by providing fast, accurate, and on-the-spot results. It requires no special training or expensive equipment and can be used both in the field and the lab. With results available in just three minutes, DONCheck is a convenient, durable, and cost-effective solution for mycotoxin screening.

VICAM 4-EX Fluorometer – Fee Testing Equipment

The VICAM 4-EX Fluorometer is an advanced mycotoxin detection tool that delivers highly accurate measurements down to parts-per-trillion (PPT) levels. It stores up to 200 test results and multiple test protocols, providing digital readouts in various concentration units without requiring conversion. Using AOAC and FDA-certified protocols, it ensures HPLC-grade accuracy. The VICAM 4-EX Fluorometer device is durable, handling over 200,000 tests without a lamp change, and functions effectively across different environmental conditions.

The fluorometer detects various mycotoxins, including:

1. Aflatoxin (Total & B1/B2) – Using AflaTest and Afla B columns, it identifies aflatoxins in multiple commodities like grains, dairy, nuts, and pet food. It provides fast, sensitive detection at parts-per-billion (PPB) and PPT levels.
2. Ochratoxin – OchraTest detects ochratoxin A in barley, coffee, spices, and poultry feed. It is easy to use, requires no refrigeration, and delivers results within 10 minutes.
3. Fumonisin – FumoniTest quantifies fumonisin B1, B2, and B3 in corn, popcorn, and sorghum, offering fast and precise results at parts-per-million (PPM) levels.
4. Zearalenone – ZearalaTest provides rapid detection of zearalenone in grain and feed, with results available within 15 minutes.
5. Aflatoxin M1 – Afla M1 FL+ detects aflatoxin M1 in dairy products at stringent PPT levels, ensuring compliance with global safety standards.

All VICAM tests are quick, durable, and compatible with fluorometer, HPLC, and UPLC systems, making them essential tools for food safety and quality control.

Vertu Touch Strip Test Reader

The Vertu TOUCH Strip Test Reader is a cutting-edge lateral flow strip test reader that works seamlessly with VICAM’s mycotoxin detection strips. It provides quantitative results for six major mycotoxins: aflatoxin, fumonisin, vomitoxin (DON), zearalenone, ochratoxin A, and T-2/HT-2 toxins. Featuring touch-screen operation, onboard data storage, and optional printing, Vertu TOUCH Strip Test Reader requires no specialized training, making it ideal for field, process, and lab environments.
