Determination of multiclass cyanotoxins in blue-green algae (BGA) dietary supplements using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

In recent years, the consumption of blue-green algae (BGA) dietary supplements is increasing because of their health benefits. However, cyanobacteria can produce cyanotoxins, which present serious health risks. In this work we propose hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled with tandem … Continue reading

Non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis–time of flight mass spectrometry method to determine emerging mycotoxins.

Enniatins (ENN) and beauvericin (BEA) are emerging mycotoxins that have been traditionally determined by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). However, to the best of our knowledge, no analytical methods based on capillary electrophoresis (CE)–MS/MS have been reported … Continue reading

Multiclass cyanotoxin analysis in reservoir waters: Tandem solid-phase extraction followed by zwitterionic hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

The presence of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in all water bodies, including ocean water and fresh water sources, represents a risk for human health as eutrophication and climate change are enhancing their level of proliferation. For risk assessment and studies on … Continue reading

Simple and efficient method for the determination of fipronil and two main metabolites in eggs by capillary liquid chromatography.

Capillary liquid chromatography (CLC) with UV-diode array detection has been proposed for the first time to determine fipronil and two metabolites, fipronil-sulfide and fipronil-sulfone in hen egg samples. Under optimum conditions, analytes eluted in less than 12 min. Despite the complexity … Continue reading

Occurrence of ergot alkaloids in barley and wheat from Algeria

The natural occurrence of six major ergot alkaloids, ergometrine, ergosine, ergotamine, ergocornine, ergokryptine and ergocristine, as well as their corresponding epimers, were investigated in 60 cereal samples (barley and wheat) from Algeria. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass … Continue reading
