Application Note: Determination of Multiple Mycotoxins in Grain Using a QuEChERS Sample Preparation Approach and LC-MS / MS Detection
11 May 2015
This application note outlines a fast, simple, and efficient QuEChERS method for the routine analysis of 16 mycotoxins in grain-based food. The compounds included in this method are representative of a wide range of mycotoxins, including type A- and B-trichothecenes, ochratoxin A, alternariol, zearalenone, α- & β-zearalanol , and aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2). Detection and quantitation is carried out using an Accucore aQ HPLC column coupled to a TSQ Vantage triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.
