Description

α-Zearalenol-D4 is a stable isotope-labeled internal standard, specifically a deuterated analog of the mycotoxin metabolite α-Zearalenol. This high-purity compound is essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of quantitative mass spectrometry-based analyses. It is primarily used by analytical laboratories and research institutions in the food safety, agricultural, and toxicology sectors for method development, validation, and routine testing.

Application

• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry: Serves as a critical internal standard for the precise quantification of α-Zearalenol and related mycotoxins in complex matrices using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS.
• Food and Feed Safety Testing: Enables accurate monitoring of zearalenone and its metabolites in grains, cereals, animal feed, and food products to ensure regulatory compliance.
• Biomedical and Clinical Research: Used in studies investigating the exposure, metabolism, and toxicokinetics of mycotoxins in biological fluids and tissues.
• Method Development and Validation: A key reagent for developing robust analytical methods, correcting for matrix effects, and calculating recovery rates in laboratory protocols.
• Quality Control and Reference Material: Employed in the production of certified reference materials (CRMs) and for in-house quality control procedures in analytical testing laboratories.
• Environmental Analysis: Facilitates the trace analysis of estrogenic mycotoxins and their transformation products in environmental samples.
