Popis: 1-anthroylnitrile (1-AN) has been shown to be an efficient labelling reagent for the determination of T-2 toxin (T-2) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/fluorescence detector. This reaction has been used to develop a sensitive, reproducible and accurate method for the determination of T-2 in wheat, corn, barley, oats, rice and sorghum. The method uses immunoaffinity columns containing antibodies specific for T-2 for extract clean-up, pre-column derivatization with 1-AN and HPLC with fluorescence detector for toxin determination. Ground cereals samples were extracted with methanol:water (80:20, v/v), the extracts were purified by immunoaffinity columns and the toxin was quantified by reversed-phase HPLC with fluorometric detector (lex. = 381 nm, lem. = 470 nm) after derivatization with 1-AN. Recoveries from the different cereals spiked with T-2 at levels ranging from 0.05 µg/g to 1.5 µg/g were from 80% to 99%, with relative standard deviations lesser than 6%. The limit of detection was 0.005 µg/g, based on a signal-to-noise-ratio of 3:1.
