Simultaneous Determination of Nivalenol and Deoxynivalenol in Maize and Maize Products Using LC/MS/MS

Objective

Seven replicate test portions of sample maize matrices were analysed after spiking at 20µg/kg (the required limit of quantification) with each compound, and a further seven test portions were analysed after spiking at 200µg/kg (ten times the required limit of quantification) with each compound.

More information

The assessment of the two methods will enable the analyst, and ultimately the customer, to gain a much higher level of confidence in the results that are being produced for the analysis of nivalenol and deoxynivalenol in maize and maize products.
