Popis: The significance of laboratory sample preparation for the determination of two important mycotoxins, ochratoxin A (OTA) and deoxynivalenol (DON), in wheat was investigated by comparing water-slurry mixing and dry-milling procedures. The distribution of OTA and DON in 10 kg samples of naturally contaminated wheat was established by analyzing one hundred 100 g subsamples of each sample. A normal distribution and a good repeatability of DON measurements was observed for both water-slurry mixing (mean 2290 μg/kg, CV 4.6%, median 2290 μg/kg) and dry milling (mean 2310 μg/kg, CV 6.4%, median 2290 μg/kg) procedures. For OTA determinations, reliable results could be obtained only by slurry mixing sample preparation (mean 2.62 μg/kg, CV 4.0%, median 2.62 μg/kg), whereas dry-milling comminution resulted in an inhomogeneous distribution with a high variability (mean 0.83 μg/kg, CV 75.2%, median 0.60 μg/kg) and a positive skewness (2.12). Ad hoc experiments were performed on different size portions of the same sample (10 kg) to assess accuracy and precision of the comminution/homogenization procedures (slurry mixing and dry milling). Very good results were obtained for DON determination with both procedures in terms of accuracy (>98.7% of the “weighted value”) and precision (CV
