title: Immunoaffinity column clean-up for the high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, M1 and Q1 in urine.
abstract: A method for the determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, M1 and Q1 in human urine has been developed. The 10-ml urine samples were automatically cleaned up on immunoaffinity columns and analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), including post-column derivatization with bromine and fluorescence detection. Average aflatoxin recoveries were: B1 103%, B2 106%, G1 98% and G2 96% in the range 6.8-73 pg/ml of urine and M1 103% and Q1 100% in the range 18-97 pg/ml of urine. The relative standard deviations were all between 1% and 21%. The determination limits of aflatoxins in urine were 6.8 pg/ml for B1, B2, G1 and G2 and 18 pg/ml for M1 and Q1.
