ImagoAI Inc., a trailblazer in innovative food safety technology, proudly announces an exciting new collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This collaboration aims to transform the landscape of food safety testing by developing a handheld version of ImagoAI’s rapid mycotoxin test, GalaxyLyte. Known for delivering mycotoxin results in less than 30 seconds, Galaxy is the world’s first certified Hyperspectral Imaging based mycotoxins test, and this collaboration promises to bring its groundbreaking capabilities to the palm of your hand.

The Galaxy test has already set a new standard in mycotoxin testing with its unprecedented speed significantly enhancing food safety across various industries. The Galaxy mycotoxins test is AOAC PTM certified for big 4 mycotoxins in corn - Aflatoxins, DON, Fumonisins and Zearalenone. By leveraging the cutting-edge Hyperspectral Imaging technology, Galaxy provides real-time mycotoxin results, ensuring that feed mills, flour mills, wet/dry mills, grain elevators, pet food, ethanol plants and food processors are protected from harmful mycotoxins. No chemicals or reagents are required to perform these tests.
