Description

Fumonisin B2 is a significant mycotoxin produced primarily by *Fusarium* fungi, commonly found as a contaminant in corn and other grains. As a critical reference standard, it is essential for accurate analytical testing, ensuring food and feed safety by enabling the precise detection and quantification of this harmful contaminant. This high-purity compound is vital for laboratories in the food safety, agricultural, and toxicology research sectors, supporting compliance with global regulatory limits for mycotoxins.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for calibrating equipment and validating methods in HPLC, LC-MS/MS, and ELISA testing.
• Food Safety Testing: Critical for the accurate quantification of Fumonisin B2 contamination in corn, corn-based products, cereals, and animal feed to ensure compliance with FDA, EU, and other international regulations.
• Toxicological Research: Used in studies to investigate the mechanisms of toxicity, carcinogenicity, and health effects associated with fumonisin exposure.
• Method Development & Validation: Essential for developing, optimizing, and verifying new analytical protocols in quality control and research laboratories.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Serves as a system suitability check and a control in the routine QC testing of agricultural commodities and processed foods.
• Production of Calibrators & Controls: Used by diagnostic manufacturers to produce accurate calibrators and quality control materials for commercial test kits.
