Standard solutions of ZEN, α-ZOL, β-ZOL, and [13C18]-ZEN with certified concentrations of each analyte were purchased from Biopure (Tulln, Austria). ZAN, α-ZAL, and β-ZAL were purchased from Sigma (Saint Quentin Fallavier, France). Enzymes used for hydrolysis of the conjugate were purchased from Sigma and were of types H-1 β-glucuronidase (G1) from Helix pomatia (Cat# G0751), H-2 β-glucuronidase (G2) from Helix pomatia (Cat# G0875), H-1 sulfatase (S1) from Helix pomatia (Cat# S9626), H-2 sulfatase (S2) from Helix pomatia (Cat# S9751), and VI sulfatase (S3) from Aerobacter aerogenes (Cat# S1629). The immunoaffinity columns used were “easi-extract zearalenone” columns purchased from R-Biopharm Rhone LTD (Glasgow, Scotland). All other reagents were obtained from Sharlab S.L. (Sentmenat, Barcelona, Spain).

Certified Standards for Mycotoxin Analysis

Certificated standard solutions of ZEN (100 g/mL), -ZEL (10 g/mL), -ZEL (10 g/mL), ZAN (10 g/mL), -AL (10 g/mL), -ZAL (10 g/mL) and 13 C18-ZEN (3 g/mL)
were purchased from Biopure (Tulln, Austria) and stored at -40 ºC in the dark. -glucuronidase (from E coli.) was from Sigma-Aldrich (MO, USA). Acetonitrile, methanol, ammonia acetate, formic acid and acetic acid were of LC/MS grade (Fisher Scientific, Leicestershire, United Kingdom). All other chemicals were of analytical grade or better. The deionized water (18.2 M cm) was collected from a Milli-Q system (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA). The Oasis PRiME HLB 96-well Elution plate (3 mg of sorbent in each well) were obtained from Waters (Milford, MA, USA). A mixed standard solution containing 1 g/mL of each analyte was prepared in Acetonitrile and stored at 4 C in the dark, remaining stable for at least six months.
The working dilutions of mixed standards were prepared at each day of measurement. The enzyme solution was prepared by dissolving 14.4 mg -glucuronidase (6.9×10 5 U g solid -1 ) in 10 mL of 0.075 mol L -1 phosphate buffer (potassium phosphate dibasic + potassium phosphate monobasic, pH 6.8) freshly on the day of use.

All solvents were provided in analytical grade. Deionized water was supplied by a Purelab flex 2 (ELGA LabWater, Celle, Germany). Pure analytical standards (in acetonitrile) of DON, 15-Ac-DON, 3-Ac-DON, NIV, ZEN, TeA, AOH, AME and Tentoxin (TEN) (100 g mL 1 ), DON-3G (50 g mL 1 ) and 13C15 -DON, 13C15 -NIV, 13C17 -3-Ac-DON and 13C18 -ZEN (25 g mL 1 ) were obtained from Romer Labs (Tulln, Austria). Solid standards of ALT, D3-ALT, D3-AOH, and D3-AME were purchased from HPC Standard GmbH (Cunnersdorf, Germany). From these solid standards, single analyte solutions were prepared for each native and isotopic labeled standard by dilution with methanol/water (60/40 v/v). Multicomponent solutions for constructing calibration curves of Fusarium toxins and Alternaria toxins were prepared by mixing of the single analyte standards and dilution with methanol/water (60/40 v/v); six calibration levels were prepared in the range of 10 to 1000 ng mL 1 for each analyte. All solutions were stored at −20 C in the dark.

This study focusses on six regulated mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEN), T-2 and HT-2 toxin (T-2, HT-2) and aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) as well as their important metabolites de-epoxy deoxynivalenol (DOM-1), nivalenol (NIV), α-zearalenol (α-ZEL), β-zearalenol (β-ZEL) and aflatoxin M 1 (AFM 1 ). Mycotoxin reference standards for all mycotoxin as well as stable isotope labelled internal standards in acetonitrile ( 13 C 15 DON, 13 C 22 HT-2, 13 C 18 ZEN, 13 C 20 OTA, ¹³C₁₇ AFB 1 ) were purchased from Romer Labs (Tulln, Austria). Urine samples from the Rowett biorepository were used in this study. Samples were collected in 2004 and stored at -20 ºC prior to analysis. Urine samples were analysed for multiple mycotoxins adapting a digestion, extraction and LC-MS/MS method published previously (29) . In brief, 4 mL of urine were spiked with a mixture of 13 C-labelled internal standards (5 ng/mL 13

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
