  • Title: Resolution of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 by high-pressure liquid chromatography.
    Author: Pons WA.
    Journal: J Assoc Off Anal Chem; 1976 Jan; 59(1):101-5. PubMed ID: 175044.
    Abstract:
    Aflatoxins were completely resolved as sharp peaks in the order BU-B2-G1-G2 by high-pressure liquid chromatography on a small particle (10 mum) porous silica gel column in 7-13 min (B1 through G2) by a water-saturated chloroform-cyclohexane-acetonitrile elution solvent (25+7.5+1.0), with detection by ultraviolet absorbance at 360 nm. The relationship between peak height and amount injected was linear over a 5-400 ng range for each aflatoxin. Both retention times and peak heights were highly reproducible, multiple injections of mixed standards giving coefficients of variation of 1.0-1.4% (retention time) and 1.6-2.8% (peak height) for the 4 aflatoxins. Detection was highly sensitive, with mean peak height, mm/ng, of 7.1 (B1), 6.4 (B2), 4.5 (G1), and 4.1(G2), allowing detection of 1-2 ng of each aflatoxin.
