PhotoChemical HPLC PCR of AflaToxins
13 Apr 2009The UVETM-derivatiser is a professionally designed device for the photochemical post-column derivatisation of aflatoxins. The derivatisation is performed in a special reactor loop with UV-light. No chemicals are required.
Just as in the conventional post-column derivatisation using iodine or bromine, aflatoxins B1 and G1 are transformed to stable fluorescent derivatives. Here, the water present in the HPLC-eluant is used as a reagent. Consequently, neither iodine nor HNO3/KBr are used. The results are clear peaks and a high derivatisation performance. The application is simple and easy to perform: Simply fit UVETM between HPLC and detector, switch on the equipment – done! For more information contact ARC Sciences.
• Simple Plug and Play Device
• Low Cost, less than ½ the price of chemical PCRs
• No Chemicals required, only uses light to derivatise the analytes
• Works with all HPLC systems
• Results certified as equivalent to Post Column Derivatisation using Iodine or Bromine
