Your Competence Centre for organic contaminants

Eurofins WEJ Contaminants GmbH in Germany is the Eurofins Food & Feed Testing Competence Centre for the analysis of organic contaminants. Our experts combine decades of experience with state-of-the-art technology to analyse mycotoxins and plant toxins in a wide range of food and feed matrices. The homogenisation of large sample quantities and the respective matrix-specific requirements for homogenisation have been part of our expertise for many years. Thanks to our high number of specific and partly selective extraction and purification methods, as well as our selective measuring and detection technologies, we can ensure the necessary detection of mycotoxins and plant toxins in trace amounts.

As an officially designated testing facility under Regulation (EU) 2017/625, Article 37(1), our Competence Centre guarantees the highest standards of analytical quality and reliability. Clients benefit from continuous research and method development, and a comprehensive service portfolio covering all aspects of contaminant testing.
