Aflatoxin B2

Mycotoxin testing depends on reliable calibrants, and Aflatoxin B2 is the dihydro analogue of aflatoxin B1, one of the naturally occurring aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus species and monitored in food, feed and agricultural commodities. It is a highly toxic substance and should be handled under appropriate containment, with the precautions normally applied to aflatoxin reference materials. Analytical laboratories use it to prepare calibration standards for LC-fluorescence or LC-MS/MS determination, to confirm peak identity in contaminated sample extracts, and to validate and verify mycotoxin methods through recovery and linearity studies. The material is a white powder with the molecular formula C17H14O6 and a molecular weight of 314.29. Recommended storage is -20°C ± 5°C, and the item is dispatched with ice packs. Pack sizes available include 1 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg. Ask for a quotation or further documentation before ordering.
