Charm EZ-M SystemRapid Mycotoxin Testing in Feed and Grain

Superior Science
Testing with the Charm EZ-M system is both rapid and easy, and can be performed at
the point of receiving, eliminating testing in a laboratory setting.
The Charm EZ-M
Facilities do not need to accept untested materials that may contain unacceptable
levels of mycotoxins. By screening grains as they are received, food manufacturers can
system instantly
be assured that raw materials are of acceptable quality.

Automated Testing to Reduce Error

For single sample testing, the Charm EZ-M system can be used as a combined incubator and reader.

During incubation, the Charm EZ-M system performs self-diagnostics and will prompt the operator if any of these conditions
occur:

- The sample volume is incorrect

- The strip has already been run
- The lens needs cleaning
- The door has been opened
during assay incubation
 Maximize Your Investments:
One Instrument, Multiple TestsA: The Charm EZ-M systems unprecedented versatility
allows for a variety of different mycotoxin tests to be run with a single instrument.
