Certified Reference Standard for Aflatoxin Analysis in Food & Agricultural Products
Sigma-Aldrich Aflatoxin Mix 4 Solution is a high-purity analytical standard designed for accurate quantification and detection of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 in food, feed, and agricultural samples. Aflatoxins are highly toxic secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, and A. nomius, posing serious health risks when present in food products.
This ready-to-use aflatoxin standard is essential for instrument calibration, method validation, and regulatory compliance testing in food safety, environmental monitoring, and toxicology research.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Comprehensive Multi-Aflatoxin Standard – Contains B1, B2, G1, and G2 aflatoxins
✅ High-Purity Analytical Standard – Ensures reliable calibration & method validation
✅ Ideal for UHPLC, HPLC & Fluorescence Detection (FLD) – Compatible with quantitative and qualitative analysis
✅ Validated for Mycotoxin Testing in Food & Agriculture – Used in grains, nuts, dairy, and processed food samples
✅ Supports Regulatory Compliance – Meets food safety & contamination testing standards (EU, FDA, Codex Alimentarius)
✅ Ready-to-Use Solution – Minimizes sample preparation errors & improves lab efficiency
