General description

Sterigmatocystin is classified under the mycotoxin family of compounds. It is usually produced by the fungi of several species of Aspergillus.

Application

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
Sterigmatocystin may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in:
  • Grain samples by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray positive ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI+-MS/MS).
  • Beer samples by HPLC in conjunction with UV detection.

During the last 50y, the carcinogenic mycotoxin sterigmatocystin (ST) has been reported in several phylogenetically and phenotypically different genera: Aschersonia, Aspergillus, Bipolaris, Botryotrichum, Chaetomium, Emericella, Eurotium, Farrowia, Fusarium, Humicola, Moelleriella, Monocillium and Podospora. We have reexamined all available strains of
