Application

Aflatoxin G1 is primarily used in research and analytical laboratories as a reference standard for the detection and quantification of mycotoxins in food and agricultural products. It is essential for validating analytical methods such as HPLC, LC-MS/MS, and ELISA in food safety testing. Additionally, it serves as a critical reagent in toxicology studies to investigate the mechanisms of aflatoxin-induced carcinogenesis and liver damage. Regulatory agencies and quality control labs rely on Aflatoxin G1 to ensure compliance with safety limits in consumable goods.
