title: Minicolumn chromatography for the detection of sterigmatocystin in agricultural commodities.
abstract: A simple method for detecting sterigmatocystin in agricultural commodities by minicolumn chromatography was developed. Clean-up as well as semi-quantitative estimation could be done on the same column. The method is suitable for the analysis of samples of rice, wheat, maize and sorghum contaminated with sterigmatocystin and could be used as an effective preliminary screening technique in public health laboratories.
