Description

Fumonisin B3 is a mycotoxin belonging to the fumonisin family, a group of structurally related metabolites primarily produced by *Fusarium* fungi. This compound is of significant interest in analytical and research settings for its role in food and feed safety studies. It is essential for laboratories and institutions focused on toxicology, agricultural science, and regulatory compliance. The product is supplied as a high-purity analytical standard to ensure reliable and reproducible results.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the accurate quantification of fumonisins in complex matrices via HPLC, LC-MS/MS, or ELISA methods.
• Food & Feed Safety Research: Critical for studying contamination levels, toxicokinetics, and the development of mitigation strategies in grains like corn and other cereals.
• Toxicological Studies: Used in in vitro and in vivo research to investigate the mechanisms of toxicity, particularly its effects on sphingolipid metabolism and associated health risks.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a key component in developing, optimizing, and validating new analytical methods for mycotoxin detection.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Employed by testing laboratories and manufacturers to calibrate equipment and verify the accuracy of their testing protocols for regulatory compliance.
• Production of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs): Used as a starting material in the preparation of higher-order CRMs for global food safety monitoring programs.
