Used primarily in research and analytical laboratories as an internal standard for the quantification of deoxynivalenol (DON) and its acetylated derivatives in various samples. It is particularly valuable in food safety and agricultural studies, where accurate measurement of mycotoxin contamination is crucial. The compound aids in ensuring precision and reliability in mass spectrometry-based analyses, helping to monitor and control the presence of these harmful substances in grains, cereals, and other food products. Its stable isotope labeling allows for distinguishing it from naturally occurring mycotoxins, enhancing the accuracy of detection methods.
