Gas chromatographic determination of deoxynivalenol in wheat with electron capture detection: collaborative study.
Ten laboratories participated in a collaborative study of a method for the determination of deoxynivalenol in wheat by gas chromatography with electron capture detection. Each laboratory analyzed 6 samples in duplicate. Each collaborator received samples spiked at the 100.3, 501.3, and 1002.6 ng/g levels; a control sample; and 2 naturally contaminated samples. The average recovery (outliers excluded) for the spiked samples was 92.2%. The mean repeatability and reproducibility, respectively, were 32.2 and 41.3% for the spiked samples and 30.9 and 47.6% for the naturally contaminated samples. The method was adopted official first action.
