Romer Labs is at the forefront of diagnostic technology and is constantly expanding its product and service portfolio to meet the continuously evolving demands of its customers, supplying products and services in the fields of mycotoxins, food pathogens, food allergens, GMO and veterinary drug residues. The key objective at Romer Labs is to provide scientifically sound, high-quality products and services, in line with its mission -

4 AgraQuant ELISA Tests The Romer Labs AgraQuant product family is a range of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test kits that encompasses mycotoxin, allergen, GMO and drug residue tests. ELISA tests are quantitative tests. Reactions are read by a specific ELISA reader, such as the StatFax and the Chromate ELISA reader, for quantification purposes. A set of five to six standards used for calibration is supplied with all test kits to determine a result. Creating a new calibration curve with every assay setup assures high accuracy and reproducibility. The results obtained are comparable to HPLC results. AgraQuant kits are direct competitive ELISAs for mycotoxin and drug residue tests and sandwich ELISAs for allergen and GMO tests. All AgraQuant ELISAs use specific antibody coated microwells and an enzyme-labeled analyte conjugate. The quality of the antibody is crucial for test-result quality. Romer Labs has a broad range of monoclonal antibodies, which are highly specific to the respective analyte and guarantee robust and accurate results. AgraStrip Lateral Flow Devices The Romer Labs AgraStrip product family utilizes lateral flow technology, also known as immunochromatography tests. Most lateral flow devices (LFD) come in a format that is often called a dip stick or strip test. While the use of this technology is very widespread in the clinical field, the food safety market has only seen suitable applications in the last few years. AgraStrip LFDs use specific antibodies labeled with colloidal gold for visual color development at a test and control zone. Developed LFDs can be read visually, making instrumentation redundant. They normally produce only a yes/no answer, indicating the presence or absence of an analyte at a defined concentration. However, if instruments such as the Romer Labs AgraVision are used, LFDs can be read, providing a quantitative result. RapidChek Pathogen Detection As a food processor, choosing the best pathogen detection method can be a very difficult decision. The method should have a meaningful impact on the total cost of a food safety program but most importantly, provide maximum assurance of reliability in the test results. As a food safety professional, you know that it s not just a test result. It is information that will help to protect your customers and essentially your business. Romer Labs RapidChek and RapidChek SELECT product lines were developed to deliver the simplicity, speed and high accuracy necessary every day. Our technology sets us apart from other rapid test methods. The RapidChek product family utilizes highly selective enrichment media coupled to advanced lateral flow immunochemical detection of food pathogens such as Salmonella spp., Listeria spp., and Escherichia coli O157 in various foodstuffs and environmental applications. Patented phage technology used in the SELECT system suppresses the growth of competitive microflora which creates optimal growth conditions for Salmonella spp. Highly specific monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are exclusive to the RapidChek system which works without the need for expensive equipment or extensive training. RapidChek. Simply Accurate. FluoroQuant Fluorometric Test The FluoroQuant Test Kits are the fastest, quantitative fluorometric tests based on a solidphase or immunoaffinity column cleanup. They are USDA/GIPSA approved and AOAC Performance Tested. These tests provide a wide quantitation range without dilution steps. The FluoroQuant tests are simple enough for field use in grain, feed and food handling facilities, but they are also appropriate for analytical laboratories. Each kit comes complete with all test and accessory materials such as columns, filter paper, pipette tips, cuvettes and reagents. The FluoroQuant Test kits require an FQ-Reader, which reads the fluorescence signal of the test and translates it into a quantitative analytical result. The FQ-Reader comes with a touch screen and can be connected to a PC and a printer. MycoSep and MultiSep Cleanup Columns In order to shorten the sample cleanup process, Romer Labs has developed a product portfolio of one-step-cleanup columns for different groups of mycotoxins. MycoSep and MultiSep columns contain packing materials made of absorbent mixes designed for all relevant food and feed commodities. MycoSep columns allow a one-step cleanup within 30 seconds: the MycoSep cleanup column is pushed into a test tube containing the sample extract, forcing the extract to filter upwards through the packing material of the column. The interferences adhere to the chemical packing in the column and the purified extract, containing the analytes of interest, passes through the column. Similarly to the MycoSep column format, the MultiSep column format allows a onestep cleanup of sample extracts, containing the analyte of interest, within 30 seconds: the sample extract is applied on top of the MultiSep cleanup column, allowing the extract to go through the packing material of the column by gravity, or Page 6 alternatively, by forcing the extract through the column material via the application of vacuum or positive pressure. Page 7 MycoSpin Romer Labs has developed a spin column that can be used for the majority of regulated mycotoxins to shorten the time-consuming cleanup process for the simultaneous analysis of multiple mycotoxins. The MycoSpin 400 Multitoxin spin column contains a combination of adsorbents that was designed for the purification of complex commodity extracts for subsequent LC-MS/MS multi-mycotoxin analysis. This cleanup column has been studied intensively and application briefs are available. StarLine Immunoaffinity Columns Romer Labs wide range of immunoaffinity columns (IAC) for regulated mycotoxins is based on a specific antibody-analyte binding technology. StarLine immunoaffinity columns are designed for simple and reliable cleanups before the detection of mycotoxins in a broad range of foodstuffs and animal feed. Immunoaffinity columns contain a gel bed with toxin-specific antibodies coupled to the gel particles. These antibodies will capture mycotoxins in a sample and release them again after a washing stage. StarLine immunoaffinity columns have been validated in an extensive testing program and can be used for the purification and concentration of mycotoxins prior to the analysis by various techniques, such as HPLC, LC-MS, GC-MS, ELISA or direct fluorometry. All Romer Labs IAC employ highly specific monoclonal antibodies. Biopure Standards, Calibrants and Reference Materials Biopure is a Romer Labs brand which stands for high quality reference materials. All Biopure products are characterized by the appropriate independent methods, such as HPLC, NMR and MS. The selection of the right method is crucial to ensuring the identity and purity of the reference material. Biopure reference materials are accompanied by a certificate. The certificate states the uncertainty of the target analyte and documents the traceability of the certified value, expressed in SI conform units. The Certificate of Analysis is supplied in accordance to ISO Guide 31. Biopure has the broadest range of mycotoxin reference materials currently available globally. In addition to mycotoxins, Biopure supplies standards for veterinary drug residues, and other contaminants such as melamine. The stars of this product line are the fully labeled C13 internal standards, which are unique and rely on a patented technology, proprietary to Romer Labs. C13 standards play a crucial role in LC-MS/ MS analysis and are widely used in multi-analyte methods. Analytical Service Romer Labs currently operates service laboratories in four countries: Austria, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. All these laboratories are accredited according to ISO and offer a broad range of services for allergens, mycotoxins, GMOs and veterinary drug residues. The Romer Labs service laboratories employ cutting edged technology and are equipped with the latest generation of equipment. Laboratory Equipment Romer Labs aims to provide full set-up packages for its diagnostic solutions. Using the right equipment is essential to performing a method correctly. Romer Labs provides a series of readers for its rapid test kits, such as the AgraVision (for Lateral Flow Tests) or the Chromate (for ELISA tests). For instrumental analysis, Romer Labs has different instruments available that help improve method performance, such as the RDU (Romer Derivatization Unit) used for Aflatoxins analysis in HPLC-FLD. Romer laboratory mills have set the standard in sample preparation in mycotoxin analysis for over 25 years and are referenced in numerous official methods (AOAC, USDA, FAO, etc.) and scientific publications. Many multinational food and feed companies use Romer mills in their daily routine and the products are known for their reliability and robustness. EnzymeFast EnzymeFast tests are enzymatic tests in a micotiter plate format. Enzymatic food analysis is a basic method used for the measurement of compounds such as sugars, acids, alcohols and other metabolites in foods and beverages. In general, enzymes are proteins that catalyze the conversion of one molecule into another. Certain enzymatic reactions lead to color formation or consumption that often takes place in a wavelength range invisible to the human eye. This change in intensity can be measured. The high specificity of enzyme reactions allows for the analysis of food components in complex matrices.

5 AFLATOINS FAO estimates global losses of foodstuffs due to mycotoxins, are in the range of 1000 million tonnes per year. Many species of fungi can produce a vast number of different mycotoxins. The presence of these toxins in food and feed can be of major concern in food and feed safety. Generally speaking, if elevated levels of mycotoxins are indicated, this can result in toxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects and lead to symptoms such as skin irritation, immune suppression and neurotoxicity, as well as to potential birth defects and death. The effects can be chronic or acute, depending on the concentration involved. are typically highly resistant to temperature and processing. Therefore, they cannot be destroyed during conventional food or feed production and can also be found in finished, processed products. Analytical procedures to find and identify mycotoxins are essential in ensuring proper risk management. Technologies and products are available for official field or on-site reference testing, depending on the intended use. Romer Labs offers a wide range of mycotoxin solutions, such as clean-up columns and reference materials for reference testing, as well as a complete portfolio of test kits for rapid testing.

In general, enzymes are proteins that catalyze the conversion of one molecule into another. Certain enzymatic reactions lead to color formation or consumption that often takes place in a wavelength range invisible to the human eye. This change in intensity can be measured. The high specificity of enzyme reactions allows for the analysis of food components in complex matrices. Enzymatic methods are especially important for food production and quality assurance. Results give information on the nutrients, authenticity and hygienic status of the food. For example, levels of sugars are crucial for consumers suffering from intolerances and the presence of certain metabolites indicates a lack of hygiene during production. With using enzymatic methods it is also possible to detect whether food has been tampered. Romer Labs offers a growing list of enzymatic test kits for rapid and reliable analysis in a microtitre plate format. Page 30 Page 31

17 Food ALLERGENS Food Allergens RAPID TESTS AgraQuant F.A.S.T. Tests Item No. Product Quantitation Range LOD No. of Tests Eight major food allergens, the so-called Big 8, are responsible for the vast majority of all recorded food allergy incidents. A food allergy is an immune response to a food allergen that the body mistakenly believes is harmful. Food allergies affect 1 3 % of the population as a whole and 5 8 % of children, making them an important health issue in modern society. Even minimal exposure to a food allergen in the milligram range can cause symptoms from mild skin rashes to fatal anaphylactic shocks. Despite the fact that any food could provoke an allergic reaction, the vast majority of documented incidents are caused by cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk and lactose, in addition to nuts. Other allergens such as mustard, sesame, celery, mollusks and lupines may be of more regional importance. Thus, legislation in many parts of the world requires that these ingredients be labeled on food products independent of their concentration. Allergens might be present as food ingredients, but what is more dangerous is their unexpected appearance via crosscontaminations during the production process. This means testing needs to be done not only by the authorities for labeling compliance, but also by the manufacturer itself for the on-site control of ingredients and finished products.

Hamburg, M.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs Foodborne illness is a serious public health concern around the world. Foods can become contaminated with pathogenic bacteria through exposure to animal manure, inadequate processing controls, cross-contamination, and improper storage or cooking. Upon ingestion, pathogenic bacteria secrete toxins which can cause human illness, such as diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. In severe cases, hemolytic uremic syndrome and listeriosis can lead to death, especially in infants and the elderly. With the globalization of the food supply it is imperative that food producers test their products for pathogens due to numerous regulatory requirements. Production delays and plant shut-downs, food spoilage, brand protection, and product recalls cost money as well as a company s reputation; therefore, cost-effective, easy-to-use, and accurate testing methods are necessary to ensure safe food is being supplied to the consumer. Romer Labs offers validated food pathogen detection solutions for Escherichia coli O157 and other shigatoxin-producing E. coli, Salmonella spp. (including Salmonella Enteritidis), as well as Listeria spp. in a user-friendly, rapid and accurate, costeffective format.

BSE and variant CJD: Emerging science, public pressure and the vagaries of policy-making. Preventive Veterinary Medicine: 2012 Dec 31. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease, is one of several transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or degenerative neurological diseases caused by abnormal prion protein found in the nervous tissues of infected animals that is known to affect various mammalian species including humans. It is spread through the ingestion of infected animal tissue. Most animal health experts believe that the inadvertent contamination of meat and bone meal (MBM) with infected animal tissue and the subsequent use of this material as a feed supplement contribute to the spread of the disease. As a result, the use of processed animal proteins (PAPs) in animal feeds is regulated in many countries around the world. While feed testing is the only definitive means to certify compliance, regulatory compliance often relies solely on paper certification. Recently, rapid methods have become available for use by regulators to determine compliance during routine inspections. Romer Labs offers a rapid, cost-effective immunochromatographic strip test for use in the field that can detect 0.1 % MBM in animal feedstuffs (including raw materials and finished feeds).

21 GMO GMO RAPID TESTS AgraQuant ELISA Tests Item No. Product Trait Range No. of Tests GMOChek According to the UN, the global area of GM crop plantation has grown 80-fold between 1996 and Plants of vital importance to agriculture are often genetically modified by the insertion of foreign DNA material into their DNA sequence, resulting in expressed novel traits that normally would not appear in nature -- typically herbicide tolerance or insect resistance. Seeds harvested from GMO plants will also contain the modification. Current GMO production basically centers on four main crops: soybeans, corn, cotton and oilseed rape. On a global level, GMO crops are cultivated on substantial areas of arable land. Approximately 90 % of all soy available commercially is GMO soy (ca. 80 % of corn, ca. 70 % oilseed rape and almost 50 % of cottonseed). When testing for GMOs, detection is achieved either through the inserted DNA or expressed protein translated from the novel DNA. The inserted DNA and its corresponding protein are found in all the cells of the plant. Thus, the seeds and/or plant tissue material (e.g. leaves) can be used for GMO testing. Testing for the expressed protein can be performed using rapid on-site test kits, such as lateral flow devices (LFD) or ELISA, while the reference method for detecting the DNA itself -- using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods -- needs to be done by specialized labs. Romer Labs offers a wide range of rapid tests, based on LFD and ELISA technologies, covering the majority of registered GMO traits found on the market.

23 Residues & ADULTERANTS Veterinary DRUG RESIDUES In contrast to pesticides, exposure to veterinary drug residues is rather more common, as they are directly injected or fed to the animals. Residues in food and feed are a very heterogeneous group of substances ranging from process contaminants to pesticides, veterinary drugs or even substances added illegally, such as melamine. Veterinary drugs are used in animal production to treat disease, maintain herd and flock health, promote growth, improve meat or otherwise reduce production costs. There is a possibility that residues or their metabolites may appear in the final animalbased foods with their use. Government authorities control the use of veterinary drugs and monitor food for unsafe or prohibited residues. There are a wide variety of regulations in place, with some veterinary drugs allowed in animal products for food production under certain conditions and others banned from use completely. Melamine, widely used in combination with formaldehyde to produce melamine resin and melamine foam for countertops, glues, household goods and flame retardants, has been added to raw milk and feed illegally to give the appearance of higher protein content than the actual level. Melamine itself is non-toxic in low doses, but can cause fatal bladder cancer and kidney stones in combination with other chemicals.

Analyzing samples in your own laboratory often raises the question of comparability. How do the results generated compare to other labs using identical samples? The most common way to find out is by taking part in a proficiency testing program or a check sample survey. In such program, participants receive homogenized sample material to be analyzed using in-house laboratory methods. A description of the procedure and the results will be then forwarded to the organizer, following which the results will be compiled and analyzed statistically. Every participant will get a final report, accompanied by an anonymous summary of all results, together with their own individual results. Romer Labs organizes such programs four times a year for mycotoxins and anyone may take part on a worldwide basis. Naturally contaminated material, homogenized and characterized, will be used as samples for the check sample survey. More details on availability and planned rounds, the type of mycotoxins and matrices in the program, as well as examples of reports from previous rounds, can be found on our website ( romerlabs.com) or are available from your local Romer Labs representative or distributor.

27 Equipment Equipment Item No. Romer Mills Description Laboratory Equipment High quality equipment is essential to obtain accurate analytical results. When performing an analytical test, strong focus has to be put on the equipment used to obtain accurate and reproducible test results. The first step of any analysis is the use of a well-established sampling plan to obtain a representative sample. After taking the representative sample for instance, consisting mostly of several aggregated subsamples taken out of a large storage tank appropriate sample preparation is vital. This lab sample needs to contain the same concentration of the analyte as the sample from which it was taken. To achieve this goal, two steps are required. First, the representative sample needs to be ground and then a small analytical sample needs to be taken. This is done by using equipment such as mills and/or subsampling devices. Romer Labs offers a range of equipment for such analytical purposes, including Romer Mills for grinding and sample division and the Romer Evap System for the rapid concentration of sample extracts. Furthermore, quantitative and/or semiquantitative analyses often require additional equipment for result interpretation. For instance, Romer Labs offers the AgraVision for lateral flow test interpretation and StatFax or ChroMate from Awareness Technology, Inc. for ELISA quantification purposes. Last but not least, aflatoxin analysis by HPLC-FLD requires derivatization of the analytes for higher sensitivity; a task made possible by Romer Labs photo chemical or electrochemical derivatization units. Page 52 Page 53 Reader Romer Series II Mill 7 EQMMS2010 Series II Mill, 115V EQMMS2015 Series II Mill, 230V, American Plug EQMMS2018 Series II Mill, 230V, European Plug The patented Romer Series II Mill can prepare a representative sample quickly and easily. A 2 lb. (1 kg) sample of corn can be ground and subsampled within 1 to 2 minutes. This mill simultaneously grinds and splits the samples and is the only mill available that combines these two steps into one piece of equipment. The Series II Mill is USDA/GIPSA approved and is used mainly for grains, feeds and foods. RAS (Romer Analytical Sampling) Mill 7 EQMMR1010 RAS Mill, 115V EQMMR1017 RAS Mill, 230V The RAS Mill has been specifically developed for products that are difficult to grind due to high moisture and/or high oil content. Among these products are cottonseed, tree nuts, peanuts and pistachios. A 2 lb. (1 kg) sample of corn can be ground and subsampled in 1 minute. Special features include the availability of 2 unique chute options (to allow more rapid and accurate grinding and sampling), interchangable grinding burrs, and power drive screws to allow the grinding of practically any product. The moving parts are made of stainless steel and flashed chrome for food safety analyses.
