Description

Aflatoxin G1 is a significant secondary fungal metabolite belonging to the difuranocoumarin class of mycotoxins. Its primary commercial importance lies in its use as a certified reference material and analytical standard for the accurate detection and quantification of mycotoxin contamination in food, feed, and agricultural products. This high-purity compound is essential for laboratories in the food safety, agricultural, and regulatory compliance sectors to ensure analytical accuracy and meet stringent global safety standards.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified calibrant in chromatographic methods (HPLC, LC-MS/MS) for mycotoxin analysis.
• Food Safety Testing: Critical for quantifying Aflatoxin G1 contamination in nuts, grains, spices, and dairy products to ensure compliance with FDA, EU, and other international regulations.
• Feed Quality Control: Used in the analysis of animal feed ingredients to prevent mycotoxin exposure in livestock.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a key component in developing, optimizing, and validating new analytical protocols for mycotoxin detection.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Employed in laboratory proficiency testing and as a system suitability check for analytical instrumentation.
• Toxicological Research: Used in studies investigating the metabolism, toxicity, and health impacts of aflatoxins.

Quality Control

Our Aflatoxin G1 (CAS 1165-39-5) is manufactured and handled under strict quality-controlled conditions suitable for analytical and research applications. Each batch is characterized using advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques to ensure identity, purity, and stability. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing purity, assay results, and chromatographic profiles. We support compliance with major pharmacopeial and food safety guidelines, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and purity. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
