Description

Fumonisin B4 CAS NO 136379-60-7 is a naturally occurring 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, particularly in the fields of food safety, toxicology, and agricultural science. It is essential for laboratories and institutions focused on mycotoxin analysis, method development, and the study of fungal contamination in grains and foodstuffs.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the accurate quantification of fumonisins in food, feed, and environmental samples via HPLC, LC-MS/MS, or ELISA methods.
• Toxicological Research: Critical for in-vitro and in-vivo studies investigating the mechanisms of toxicity, cellular effects, and health impacts associated with fumonisin exposure.
• Method Development & Validation: Used by analytical laboratories to develop, calibrate, and validate testing protocols to ensure regulatory compliance for mycotoxin limits in commodities.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Serves as a system suitability check and internal standard in quality control laboratories for agrochemical, food processing, and diagnostic kit manufacturing.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Supports fundamental research in mycology, plant pathology, and the development of mitigation strategies for fungal contamination in the agricultural supply chain.
