Milpitas, California – March 25, 2025 – ImagoAI is proud to announce that its Galaxy test has received the AOAC Performance Tested Methods (PTM) certification for Wheat, DDGS (Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles), and CGM (Corn Gluten Meal), expanding upon its existing certification for corn. The certification establishes Galaxy as the industry's fastest and most reliable mycotoxin testing method, delivering unprecedented value to the global food industry. 

It validates Galaxy's exceptional performance in identifying four major mycotoxins across key commodities:

  • Aflatoxins (AFLA) in Corn, DDGS, and CGM
  • Deoxynivalenol (DON) in Corn, DDGS, CGM, and Wheat
  • Fumonisins (FUM) in Corn, DDGS, and CGM
  • Zearalenone (ZEA) in Corn, DDGS, and CGM

ImagoAI's Galaxy earns new AOAC PTM certification for 3 key commodities

This milestone is especially relevant given the growing industry challenge of mycotoxin co-contamination. A recent global study reported that 54.9% of mycotoxin-positive samples contained two or more toxins, with some maize samples showing as many as 14 different contaminants. 

In this context, Galaxy’s ability to deliver multiple mycotoxin test results in just 30 seconds—95% faster than conventional methods—marks a transformational step forward in food safety and operational efficiency. Its speed and consistent performance enable more frequent testing, reduce result variability, and help facilities identify contamination risks earlier—minimizing quality control issues before they impact operations. Galaxy’s unmatched speed also eliminates truck waiting times, enabling facilities to maintain continuous productivity while ensuring customer satisfaction.

Today, the world’s largest ethanol producers and leading feed mills, flour mills, and grain elevators rely on Galaxy to simplify testing operations and safeguard food and feed quality.

"Our expanded AOAC certification represents a pivotal advancement for food safety," says Abhishek Goyal, co-founder of ImagoAI. "Galaxy simplifies the operational complexity that has long plagued mycotoxin testing. By removing the need for consumables, we’re helping wheat flour mills, feed mills, grain elevators, and ethanol plants test for mycotoxins easily without compromising speed or accuracy.” 

With minimal training, facility managers can now establish comprehensive testing protocols that save time and money and ensure food safety right from day one. 

Shweta Gupta, co-founder of ImagoAI added, "At ImagoAI, we're committed to removing the barriers that have historically limited effective mycotoxin prevention and control. By 2026, we plan to expand Galaxy's capabilities to analyze additional contaminants across a broader range of food products, cementing our position as the pioneer of truly rapid testing solutions."

ImagoAI's research and development team is already advancing the next generation of hyperspectral testing capabilities, with GMO testing technology in the pipeline as part of a comprehensive food safety roadmap. These innovations will further strengthen Galaxy's position as the all-in-one solution for food safety across the industry.

ImagoAI will showcase Galaxy's capabilities at the upcoming IAOM Annual Conference & Expo in Oklahoma City from April 29 - May 1, 2025. We invite industry professionals to experience firsthand how our technology transforms food safety.
