Description

Aflatoxin D1 is a significant secondary metabolite and a key analytical standard in the study of mycotoxins. Its primary value lies in its critical role as a reference material for the accurate detection and quantification of aflatoxin contamination in food, feed, and agricultural products. This compound is essential for laboratories and quality control departments in the food safety, agricultural, and analytical chemistry industries to ensure regulatory compliance and protect public health.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibrating analytical instruments like HPLC, LC-MS/MS, and ELISA kits.
• Food Safety Testing: Critical for developing and validating methods to detect and quantify aflatoxin levels in nuts, grains, spices, and dairy products to meet global safety standards (e.g., FDA, EU, Codex Alimentarius).
• Feed Quality Control: Used in assays to monitor mycotoxin contamination in animal feed, ensuring livestock health and preventing toxin transfer into the food chain.
• Research and Development: Serves as a vital reagent in toxicological studies to understand the metabolism, toxicity, and health impacts of aflatoxins.
• Method Development & Validation: Employed by testing laboratories and kit manufacturers to establish, optimize, and verify the accuracy and precision of new analytical protocols.
• Regulatory Compliance & Proficiency Testing: Used in quality assurance programs and inter-laboratory comparisons to ensure consistent and reliable testing results across the industry.
