About Aflatoxin

Aflatoxin (CAS 1402-68-2) is a high-purity reference standard of Aflatoxin offered by Vaqora Chemicals. Its molecular formula is C17H12O7 and its molecular weight is 328.27 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is 11-methoxy-6,8,16,20-tetraoxapentacyclo[10.8.0.02,9.03,7.013,18]icosa-1,4,9,11,13(18)-pentaene-17,19-dione. It is also known as Aflatoxin G or Aflatoxin, crude.

It is supplied as a solid. Store the standard in its sealed vial, protected from light and moisture, and follow the storage condition printed on the COA. Under GHS it is labelled “Danger”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

As a reference sample of Aflatoxin, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
