Description

Roquefortine C CAS NO 58735-64-1 is a mycotoxin produced by various species of *Penicillium* and *Aspergillus* fungi. This compound is of significant interest in food safety, toxicology, and analytical research due to its potential presence as a contaminant in agricultural commodities and stored food products. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, food safety agencies, and research institutions for use as a certified reference material in the development and validation of detection methods.

Application

• Certified Reference Standard (CRM) for the calibration of analytical equipment and validation of testing protocols.
• Food Safety Testing for the quantitative analysis of mycotoxin contamination in grains, nuts, cheese, and other susceptible foodstuffs.
• Toxicological Research to study the metabolic pathways, mechanisms of action, and health effects of fungal toxins.
• Quality Control in Agriculture for monitoring fungal contamination in pre- and post-harvest products to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
• Method Development in analytical chemistry laboratories for creating new HPLC, LC-MS/MS, or immunoassay-based detection techniques.

Quality Control

Our Roquefortine C is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous identity confirmation and purity analysis using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques to ensure it meets the high standards required for reference materials. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, analytical methods, and traceability is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a controlled environment to prevent degradation. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
