Description

Citreoviridin is a mycotoxin produced by certain species of *Penicillium* and *Aspergillus* fungi. This compound is of significant interest in research and analytical chemistry due to its role as a reference standard for the detection and quantification of mycotoxin contamination. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, food safety testing facilities, and research institutions focused on toxicology, mycology, and agricultural product quality control.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibrating analytical instruments like HPLC and LC-MS.
• Food Safety Testing: Used in the development and validation of methods to detect citreoviridin contamination in grains, nuts, and other agricultural commodities.
• Toxicological Research: Serves as a key reagent in studies investigating the biochemical mechanisms, toxicity profiles, and health impacts of mycotoxins.
• Method Development: Essential for laboratories establishing new or verifying existing analytical protocols for mycotoxin screening.
• Quality Control: Employed by manufacturers of diagnostic kits and testing reagents to ensure product accuracy and reliability.
• Regulatory Compliance: Supports testing to ensure products meet international safety standards and maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by bodies like the FDA and EFSA.
