Easy and Quick HPLC Analysis of Aflatoxin in Milk

Aflatoxins are naturally occurring mycotoxins that are produced by different species of fungi. In addition to the most toxic aflatoxin B1, a number of other related compounds are occurring in nature. High level exposure to aflatoxins can, for example, produce acute hepatic necrosis especially children, whilst adults have higher tolerances. This application note demonstrates an HPLC method using a YMC-Triart C18 column and fluorescent detection.
