Description

4,15-Diacetylnivalenol is a chemically modified derivative of the trichothecene mycotoxin nivalenol, characterized by its specific acetylation pattern. This compound serves as a critical analytical standard and reference material for the accurate detection and quantification of mycotoxin contamination in agricultural and food products. It is essential for quality control laboratories, research institutions, and diagnostic kit manufacturers focused on food safety, toxicology studies, and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Primary Analytical Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibrating analytical instruments like HPLC-MS/MS and GC-MS in mycotoxin testing.
• Food Safety & Quality Assurance: Essential for developing and validating methods to detect nivalenol and its derivatives in grains (wheat, barley, maize), cereals, and processed foods.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Serves as a key antigen or hapten for producing antibodies in ELISA test kits and lateral flow immunoassays.
• Regulatory Compliance & Method Development: Supports laboratories in meeting international food safety regulations (e.g., EU, FDA) by providing a traceable standard for method accreditation.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Potential use in research related to natural product contamination and the safety assessment of botanicals.
