If you are looking for an easier, quicker and more accurate rapid testing system for mycotoxins that also simplifies your data processing and analysis, consider Neogen’s innovative Raptor® Integrated Analysis Platform and the Alltech® RAPIREAD™ program.


With customer requests and regulatory requirements changing our daily routines, we need all the help we can get to work as efficiently as possible. Using the Raptor Integrated Analysis Platform, you can easily integrate mycotoxin management into your workflow process. Here is how:

Other methods of testing for mycotoxins require multiple hands-on steps that are potential sources of operator error and need to be monitored closely. All the touchpoints of these systems have the potential to jeopardize the integrity of your data. The Raptor system improves the efficiency of your farm, feed mill or quality control lab by helping to eliminate operator error and increase productivity, all you need to do is add your sample and walk away. The system controls the timing, temperature and reading of the test strips without additional operator input.


The Neogen Raptor was designed based on customer feedback and observations of common errors that affect test results. Some of the key features and benefits of our latest device include;

  • Barcoded test strips to identify the test type, lot and expiry
  • The ability to just add a sample and walk away
  • A scanner that allows the analyst to add lot and sample information easily
  • Stops expired test strips from being processed
  • Control over the timing of assays, assuring the test protocol is perfect each time
  • Easy transfer of data to the Alltech RAPIREAD system

The Raptor system is available in two versions, the benchtop model which features three ports for the simultaneous independent processing of three samples, or a battery-operated Raptor Solo portable version that allows you to take your test system wherever you need it.

 What tests can you run on the Raptor system?

The Neogen Raptor is compatible with the Reveal Q+ MAX line of products. These test kits allow you to use one extraction and run any of the five mycotoxin kits currently available, the water-based extraction reduces hazardous the need for hazardous waste in the laboratory while storing kits at room temperature saves refrigeration space.

Kits available for the Raptor platform include

The recently introduced Reveal Q+ MAX for Ergot Alkaloids delivers precise quantitative results in the range of 50–5,000 parts per billion (ppb) in only eight minutes after extraction. This new test is the first for ergot alkaloids in the simple rapid lateral flow format and is compatible for use with the Raptor testing platform. Until now, the only options that testers had were complex laboratory methods or imprecise visual tests. Using one of the Raptor testing platforms, accurately testing for ergot alkaloids and many other natural toxins has never been easier.


Neogen offers the most comprehensive range of food safety diagnostic test products for foodborne bacteria, mycotoxins, drugs, allergens and other concerns.
