title: Chromatography of mycotoxins on precoated reverse-phase thin-layer plates.
abstract: Reverse-phase thin-layer chromatography of 18 common mycotoxins was carried out on Merck C18 and Whatman C18 and diphenyl bonded phases. The mobile phases included neutral and acidified binary mixtures of water and methanol, acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran. Mycotoxins studied included aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, sterigmatocystin, ochratoxin A, citrinin, penicillic acid, patulin, zearalenone, and the trichothecenes diacetoxyscirpenol, HT-2 toxin, nivalenol, neosolaniol, fusarenone-X, T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol and 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol. Both C18-bonded phases performed well, and could serve as a convenient confirmation for mycotoxins appearing in normal-phase (silica) thin-layer chromatographic screening procedures.
