1 PROFICIENCY TEST MATERIAL WITH
NATURAL PRESENCE OF 9 MYCOTOXINS

In the past we always proposed PTs for maize flour naturally contaminated but each material contained a maximum of 7 mycotoxins. We improved now have improved our PT.

In 2024 Progetto Trieste presents a proficiency testing scheme for 9 mycotoxins with 1 Test Material of

MAIZE FLOUR NATURALLY CONTAMINATED with:

  • Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2
  • Fumonisins B1, B2
  • Ochratoxin A
  • Deoxynivalenol
  • Zearalenone

Progetto Trieste proficiency testing schemes for checking your performances with Mycotoxins in maize flour present several advantages, among these:

  • With 1 supbscription you can be evaluated for ALL molecules: subscribing to the PT MA4600 you will receive 1 Test Material naturally multicontaminated with Aflatoxin B1, Aflatoxin B2, Aflatoxin G1, Aflatoxin G2, Fumonisin B1, Fumonisin B2, Ochratoxin A, Deoxynivalenol and Zearalenone.

  • You can subscribe through convenience packages or through partial participations (if you are interested only in some of the proposed families).

  • The Test Material is incurred (naturally contaminated). The laboratory must prefer incurred Test Materials instead of spiked ones, because only with naturally contaminated samples the extractive capability of the method can be taken into account.

  • It is possible to submit 2 sets of results with just one subscription you can receive in the Final Report the evaluation of 2 laboratory technicians, or 2 different techniques.

  • International PTs with many participants: in 2023, for PTs Mycotoxins in mayze we received more than 60 subscriptions for Aflatoxins B&G + Fumonisins + Ochratoxin A and more than 35 subscriptions for Deoxynivalenol + Zearalenone.

  • Progetto Trieste is EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010 accredited proficiency testing scheme and Test Veritas has more than 25 years of experience as proficiency testing provider.

  • Separate evaluation data for screening and confirmatory methods, with the assigned value deriving only from quantitative confirmatory results. This feature of our PTs respects the requirement of UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010 to use fit-for-purpose methods of evaluation, makes the assigned value more reliable and the assessment more valid. Even if you are using a screening method, the PT simulates what you would do in the routine (comparing your results with confirmatory ones). The semi-quantitative (< or >) screening results receive evaluations provided with dedicated criteria. The quantitative screening and confirmatory results are evaluated through z-score.

  • Even if you are evaluating a screening method, the PT simulate what you would do in your routine (comparing your results with the confirmatory ones).

The PTs are included in:
