title: Determination of aflatoxins in peanuts, maize feed and whole milk by HPLC-MS2 and MS3 tandem mass spectrometry.
abstract: A method is presented for the detection of six toxins of fungal origin in various foods: peanuts, a sample of maize feed and whole milk. Extraction and HPLC-APCI-MS detection were discussed. The performances of MS/MS, MS3 and SRM detection modes were checked and best conditions of sensitivity were obtained in MS/MS mode.
