General description

Sterigmatocystin is classified under the mycotoxin family of compounds. It is usually produced by the fungi of several species of Aspergillus.[1]

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).[1]
  • Beer samples by HPLC in conjunction with UV detection.[2]
