Lot 25-001
Laboratories monitoring shellfish and seafood products for N-sulfocarbamoyl Gonyautoxins 1 & 4 require a reference material with a stated certified value. N-sulfocarbamoyl Gonyautoxins 1 & 4 (C3 & C4 toxins) are naturally occurring marine biotoxins in the saxitoxin group and are associated with paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). They are regulated due to their neurotoxic properties and contribution to overall PSP toxicity in contaminated shellfish. This certified reference material is produced in-house by CIFGA and supplied with a downloadable Certificate of Analysis, ready for use in LC-MS/MS quantification for reliable marine toxin monitoring and regulatory compliance.

Applications

Intended use & applications

N-sulfocarbamoyl Gonyautoxins 1 & 4 reference materials are used for the calibration, validation and quality control of LC-MS/MS analytical methods applied to the determination of paralytic shellfish toxins in seafood products. This material supports official control laboratories, food safety authorities, reference laboratories and testing facilities involved in marine biotoxin monitoring, ensuring reliable analytical performance and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Regulatory context

Regulatory context

Azaspiracids are lipophilic marine biotoxins regulated in the European Union under shellfish food-safety legislation, with official control based on LC-MS/MS following the EU Reference Laboratory method. [Confirm exact regulation references — e.g. Reg. (EC) 853/2004, 2074/2005 and the applicable AZA maximum level — before publishing.]

For laboratories operating under these requirements, a standard with a documented concentration and uncertainty is what makes a quantification result defensible in an audit. Using an ungraded standard instead introduces an uncontrolled source of error into the measurement chain.

Documentation

Documentation

Each batch ships with a downloadable Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet.

Application areas

Quality controlled standards and test kits for laboratories running chemical testing on textiles and garments according to REACH restrictions and recognised ISO methods.

Application areas

Bespoke mixtures, on-demand concentrations and contract purification, developed by CIFGA’s analytical production team.

Research workflows rarely fit a standard catalogue. A method under development may need a mixture of analytes at ratios that do not exist commercially. A validation study may require a concentration outside the available range. A novel compound may need isolation and characterisation before it can be used as a working standard.

These are the situations CIFGA’s tailored services are built for. Using CIFGA’s biotechnology production infrastructure and analytical expertise, we design and produce custom standards, bespoke mixtures and on-demand analytical solutions to meet the specific requirements of your laboratory.

Application areas

The batches obtained for standards defined as Quality Controlled Standards (QCSs) do not allow carrying out all the study requirements due to the limited size. However, they have been developed following the guidelines of ISO Guides Series 30, and the analytical method for quantification and assignment of purity is liquid chromatography coupled to ESI-MS/MS.

Application areas

Analytical standards and contract services for pharmaceutical quality control, produced at our facility in Lugo, Spain and supplied to laboratories in over 40 countries.

Application areas

Accurate mycotoxin analysis starts with the reference material behind it. CIFGA designs and produces Quality Control Standards and Certified Reference Materials for mycotoxin testing, certifying CRMs through a production process with full metrological traceability from source to Certificate of Analysis.
