Description

Fumonisin A2 is a specific mycotoxin belonging to the fumonisin family, a group of structurally related metabolites primarily produced by *Fusarium* fungi. This compound is of significant interest for research and analytical purposes due to its role as a contaminant in agricultural commodities, particularly corn. It is essential for laboratories and quality control facilities focused on food and feed safety, toxicology research, and the development of detection methods. The product is supplied as Fumonisin A2 CAS NO 117415-47-1 to ensure precise identification and traceability for professional use.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity calibrant and control material in quantitative analysis (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS/MS) for mycotoxin testing in food and feed.
• Toxicological Research: Serves as a key reagent in studies investigating the mechanisms of toxicity, metabolism, and health effects of fumonisins.
• Method Development & Validation: Critical for developing, optimizing, and validating new analytical techniques and immunoassays for fumonisin detection.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Employed in laboratory proficiency testing and as an internal standard to ensure the accuracy and reliability of testing protocols.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Supports compliance with international food safety regulations by enabling accurate measurement against maximum residue limits (MRLs).
• Production of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs): Acts as a starting material for the manufacture of certified reference standards with stated purity and uncertainty.

Quality Control

Every batch of Fumonisin A2 is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous identity, purity, and impurity profile testing using advanced techniques like HPLC and mass spectrometry to ensure compliance with research-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided, confirming its suitability as a reference material.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dedicated freezer. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. For long-term stability, store under inert atmosphere if specified.
