Analysis of Mycotoxins in Various Cattle Forages and Food Matrices with the TSQ Quantum Discovery MAX
13 May 2015This application note describes an LC-MS/MS method for the determination of mycotoxins in various cattle forages. Using this method it is possible to simultaneously measure the following 12 mycotoxins within 12 minutes: Nivalenol, Deoxynivalenol, Aflatoxin G1, Aflatoxin G2, Aflatoxin B1, Aflatoxin B2, Fumonisin B1, Fumonisin B2, Diacetoxyscripenol, T2-Toxine, Ochratoxin A, and Zearalenon.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.

In humid conditions, fungi can proliferate and colonize on crops to levels that can be damaging to human health.
