Highly Accurate Measurements of Ochratoxin A (OTA) in Different Foodstuffs

Automated sample preparation reduces the costs per sample and minimizes sample handling errors. Usually expensive and highly specialized pipetting robots are used. However, most of these systems are not designed with a direct interface for LC-MS applications. In addition common pipetting systems are not optimized for smaller scale sample series. Here we present a new tool for liquid handling of whole blood samples and direct sample injection.

Regulatory agencies have set maximum residue levels for hundreds of pesticides and their metabolites in foods.

A study demonstrating the accuracy and sensitive quantification of up to 12 regulated mycotoxin compounds in three commonly regulated foods.
