The Nivalenol (NIV) Standard Solution from Biorex Food Diagnostics is a high-purity, ready-to-use reference material for calibration, method validation, and quality control in mycotoxin testing laboratories. It supports accurate analysis of cereals, grains, and animal feed, where fungal contamination presents a significant food safety risk.

Nivalenol is a type B trichothecene mycotoxin produced by Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum. It often appears alongside other mycotoxins, especially deoxynivalenol (DON), in contaminated crops. This co-occurrence increases the complexity of mycotoxin testing and risk assessment.

From a toxicological perspective, Nivalenol can cause several adverse effects. These include immunotoxicity, gastrointestinal irritation, and reduced feed intake in livestock. As a result, contamination can negatively impact animal health, productivity, and overall welfare.

Accurate detection and quantification remain essential for food and feed safety. They also support compliance with international regulatory requirements and trade standards. The Biorex Nivalenol Solution delivers consistent performance across batches and maintains high purity and stability. This helps laboratories generate reliable and reproducible analytical results.

The solution works seamlessly with multiple analytical platforms, including ELISA, HPLC, and LC-MS/MS. Laboratories can use it for both routine screening and confirmatory testing. This flexibility supports efficient and adaptable workflows.

In addition, the ready-to-use format simplifies laboratory processes. It reduces preparation time and lowers the risk of dilution or handling errors. Consequently, laboratories can improve efficiency while maintaining strong data quality and traceability.

Laboratories use this standard for calibration, method validation, routine quality control, and research applications. Overall, the Nivalenol Standard Solution strengthens mycotoxin monitoring programmes, supports regulatory compliance, and helps protect both public and animal health across the global food supply chain.
