- In the field of food safety and animal feed testing, the DON (Vomitoxin) standard plays a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of analytical results.

- DON (Deoxynivalenol), also known as Vomitoxin, is a mycotoxin belonging to the trichothecenes group, commonly found in cereals such as wheat, corn, and barley. To assess contamination levels and manage risks, the use of internationally certified reference standards is mandatory.
