Description

Aflatoxin B1- 13 C 17 is a stable isotope-labeled internal standard, specifically the 13C17-labeled form of the potent mycotoxin Aflatoxin B1. This compound is critical for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of quantitative mass spectrometry-based analyses in food safety and toxicology research. It is an essential tool for analytical laboratories, regulatory bodies, and research institutions involved in the precise detection and quantification of aflatoxin contamination. The product is supplied with CAS No. 1217449-45-0.

Application

• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS, GC-MS): Serves as an internal standard for the accurate quantification of native Aflatoxin B1 in complex matrices, correcting for matrix effects and instrument variability.
• Food and Feed Safety Testing: Used in validated methods to monitor aflatoxin levels in grains (corn, peanuts, rice), nuts, spices, dairy products, and animal feed to ensure compliance with global regulatory limits (e.g., EU, FDA).
• Clinical and Biomarker Research: Enables precise measurement of aflatoxin-DNA adducts or aflatoxin metabolites in biological samples (urine, blood) for exposure assessment and epidemiological studies.
• Method Development and Validation: Essential for developing new analytical protocols, establishing calibration curves, and determining method recovery rates, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ).
• Quality Control & Proficiency Testing: Employed by reference material producers and testing laboratories to prepare certified reference materials (CRMs) and for internal quality assurance programs.
• Toxicological Studies: Facilitates research into the metabolism, distribution, and long-term health effects of aflatoxin exposure in model systems.

Quality Control

Our Aflatoxin B1- 13 C 17 is produced and handled under strict quality-controlled conditions to ensure the high chemical and isotopic purity required for precise analytical work. Each batch is characterized using advanced techniques including NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry to confirm isotopic enrichment and structural identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided, detailing purity (by HPLC), isotopic enrichment, and concentration where applicable, supporting compliance with ISO 17025 and GLP standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below. This product is light-sensitive (store away from light) and solutions should be prepared in appropriate strong acid/organic solvents as required by the analytical method. For long-term storage of solutions, use amber vials under inert atmosphere. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
