Analysis of Trichothecene Mycotoxins by Combined HPLC/MS

摘要

The development of HPLC/MS assays for the analysis of selected trichothecene mycotoxins in urine is the goal of this program. T-2 toxin has been the initial target of this investigation. Three important issues have been addressed before proceeding with the actual HPLC/MS experiments: the synthesis of isotopically labelled internal standards, efficient recovery of the target compounds from the urine matrix, and determination of HPLC conditions for their separation.
