In this study the effect of using an immunoaffinity column versus simple filtering as a cleanup was tested for aflatoxins extracted from corn and Dried Distillers Grains (DDG). The aflatoxins were analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The use of an immunoaffinity column resulted in greater signal-to-noise ratios (S/N), S/N of 70 vs S/N of 5 for corn, as well as fewer non-target peaks in the analysis. Recoveries of aflatoxin using immunoaffinity ranged from
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
