MYCOTOX™ COLUMNS
Aflatoxins Analysis
Aflatoxins are naturally occurring toxins belonging to the class Mycotoxins. They are produced by fungi and occur in peanuts, peanut meal, cotton-seed meal, wheat, milk and many other foods and feeds.
The most important feature of the post-column method described below is that all six Aflatoxins are detectable at the same fluorescence emission wavelength in a single isocratic HPLC analysis.
