Description

Aflatoxicol M1 is a significant secondary metabolite and derivative of the potent mycotoxin Aflatoxin M1. This compound is of critical importance in analytical and toxicological research for studying the metabolism, bioactivation, and long-term effects of aflatoxin exposure. It serves as a vital reference standard and analytical tool for laboratories in the food safety, agricultural, and life science sectors, enabling precise quantification and risk assessment of aflatoxin contamination.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the calibration of analytical instruments like HPLC, LC-MS/MS, and ELISA kits in food and feed testing.
• Toxicology and Metabolism Studies: Essential for in-vitro and in-vivo research to investigate the metabolic pathways, bioactivation, and cellular toxicity mechanisms of aflatoxins.
• Food Safety and Regulatory Compliance: Used to develop, validate, and ensure the accuracy of analytical methods for monitoring aflatoxin M1 levels in milk, dairy products, and other commodities to comply with global regulatory limits (e.g., FDA, EU, Codex Alimentarius).
• Quality Control in Diagnostics: Serves as a critical component in the manufacturing and quality control of immunoassay test kits and biosensors designed for aflatoxin detection.
• Academic and Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in studies exploring the carcinogenic potential, hepatotoxicity, and other health impacts associated with aflatoxin exposure and its metabolites.
• Method Development and Proficiency Testing: Used by testing laboratories and proficiency scheme providers to develop new analytical methods and assess laboratory performance in aflatoxin analysis.
