Beschreibung

Hinweis zur Analyse

Aflatoxins are closely related compounds produced as secondary metablolites of fungi. They are found in grains and nuts like corn, wheat or peanuts. Shown here is a rapid, sensitive method to extract these compounds from corn using SPE cartridges specifically designed for aflatoxins, Supel Tox AflaZea (aflatoxin zearalenone), which removes interferences from grains, feeds, TMR samples, peanuts, peanut products and aqueous solutions. Analysis was via HPLC on Ascentis Express Fused-Core C18 colums.
