This UPLC-MS/MS method is suitable for the quantitative determination of regulated mycotoxins, regulated tropane alkaloids, as well as a range of emerging and masked mycotoxins. Where available, the use of 13C-labelled internal standards is recommended as an alternative to matrix-matched calibration.
The effective UPLC separation, combined with the high sensitivity and selectivity of the tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer, provides opportunities to expand the method further to include more analytes as and when required in the future.
Finally, the introduction of waters_connect for quantitation software, allows to maximize efficiency in data processing and to review and report quantitative results more quickly.
