Product Information

• Name: Aflatoxin G2
• Synonyms: (7aR,10aS)-3,4,7a,9,10,10a-Hexahydro-5-methoxy-1H,12H-furo[3',2':4,5]furo[2,3-h]pyrano[3,4-c][1]benzopyran-1,12-dione
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Aflatoxin G2 is a metabolite of the mycotoxin aflatoxin. It is fluorescent and stable in complex with proteins and other molecules. The fluorescence detector is used for the detection of aflatoxins in food, feed, and water samples. Aflatoxins form stable complexes with proteins, which can be removed by incubating the sample with an excess of protein-binding materials such as trifluoroacetic acid or sodium citrate. Aflatoxin G2 can also be detected by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) with a linear ion trap mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS). MALDI-TOF MS/MS has been shown to have good sensitivity and specificity for the determination of aflatoxins in food samples.
