Description

Aflatoxin B1 Dichloride is a chemically modified derivative of the potent mycotoxin Aflatoxin B1, primarily used as a critical analytical standard and reference material. This compound is essential for the accurate calibration, validation, and quality control of detection methods in food safety and toxicology research. It is a vital reagent for laboratories and manufacturers in the food, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries who require precise quantification of aflatoxin contamination to ensure product safety and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use for calibrating HPLC, LC-MS/MS, and ELISA-based detection systems for aflatoxin analysis.
• Food Safety Testing: Critical for developing and validating methods to monitor aflatoxin B1 and its derivatives in grains, nuts, spices, and animal feed.
• Toxicological Research: Used in studies investigating the metabolism, toxicity, and carcinogenic mechanisms of aflatoxins.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a key compound for establishing new analytical protocols and meeting ISO, AOAC, or other international method performance criteria.
• Quality Control (QC) & Proficiency Testing: Employed in the preparation of QC samples and materials for laboratory proficiency testing schemes.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Potential use in trace analysis for herbal medicines and natural product-derived pharmaceuticals susceptible to mycotoxin contamination.
