Description

Aflatoxin G2A is a critical secondary fungal metabolite and a significant member of the aflatoxin family of mycotoxins. This high-purity analytical standard is essential for research, method development, and quality control in food and feed safety. It is primarily used by analytical laboratories, regulatory bodies, and agrochemical companies involved in mycotoxin detection and risk assessment. The compound serves as a key reference material for accurate quantification and confirmation of aflatoxin contamination.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibrating HPLC, LC-MS/MS, and ELISA instrumentation in mycotoxin analysis.
• Food & Feed Safety Testing: Critical for developing and validating analytical methods to detect and quantify aflatoxin G2 contamination in grains, nuts, spices, and animal feed to ensure compliance with global regulatory limits (e.g., EU, FDA).
• Toxicological Research: Used in studies to investigate the metabolism, toxicokinetics, and synergistic effects of aflatoxin mixtures, contributing to a deeper understanding of their health impacts.
• Method Proficiency Testing: Serves as a spike material in inter-laboratory comparison studies and proficiency testing schemes to ensure accuracy and consistency across testing facilities.
• Quality Control Reagent: Employed in the manufacturing and QC of diagnostic kits and immunoaffinity columns used for rapid aflatoxin screening.
• Regulatory Compliance & Certification: Supports laboratories in achieving accreditation (e.g., ISO/IEC 17025) by providing traceable standards for their measurement processes.

Quality Control

Our Aflatoxin G2A is produced and handled under strict quality-controlled conditions to ensure the highest purity and stability for analytical applications. Each batch is rigorously tested using validated chromatographic methods (HPLC, LC-MS) to confirm identity, potency, and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing batch-specific results. We ensure traceability and compliance with relevant guidelines for reference materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere. Due to its nature as a potent toxin, handle with appropriate containment procedures in accordance with local safety regulations. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
