Identification and Quantification of four Aflatoxins using the Bruker amaZon SL Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer
14 Nov 2012A sensitive analytical method for the determination and quantitation of four aflatoxins is presented in this application note, using the Bruker amaZon SL Ion Trap mass spectrometry system. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of a wide range of molecules in common food and feed matrices can be achieved simultaneously, using a LC/MS/MS method to measure aflatoxins G1, G2, B1, and B2, which are thought to have carcinogenic properties in humans and livestock.

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.

It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
