Determination of aflatoxins in peanuts, maize feed and whole milk by HPLC-MS2 and MS3 tandem mass spectrometry

Ann Chim. 2005 Nov-Dec;95(11-12):803-11. doi: 10.1002/adic.200590093.

Abstract

A method is presented for the detection of six toxins of fungal origin in various foods: peanuts, a sample of maize feed and whole milk. Extraction and HPLC-APCI-MS detection were discussed. The performances of MS/MS, MS3 and SRM detection modes were checked and best conditions of sensitivity were obtained in MS/MS mode.
