General description

This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis.Zearalenone, also known as F-2 toxin, is produced by different Fusarium fungi, such as F. graminearum, F. culmorum, F. cerealis, F. equiseti, F. crookwellense, and F. semitectum. These fungi occur as regular contaminants in cereals such as corn, maize, and others. It is a secondary metabolite, known to have potent oestrogenic activity due to having structural similarity with endogenous estrogen.

Application

The CRM can also be used as follows:

  • Development of a fluorometric flow-through sensor for the determination of zearalenone in maize and maize-based animal feed samples
  • Multi-residue analysis of zearalenone and its five derivatives in edible vegetable oil samples by gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-QqQ-MS) following their gel permeation chromatography based extraction
  • Simultaneous determination of zearalenone and its derivatives from maize samples by magnetic solid-phase extraction (M-SPE) based on multi-walled carbon nanotube-magnetic nanoparticles (MWCNT-MNPs) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS)
  • Construction of immunochromatographic test stripes based on colloidal gold sphere (AuSP) and nanorods (NRs) for the visual identification of zearalenone in cereal samples
  • Isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (ID-LC-MS/MS) determination of zearalenone and its five metabolites in corn samples
