(Applicable to the determination of ochratoxin A in barley at >1 ng/g)
See Table
2000.03A for results of the interlaboratory study supporting the acceptance of the method.
A. Principle
Test portion is extracted by blending with acetonitrile-water. The extract is cleaned up by passing through an immunoaffinity column. Ochratoxin A (OTA) is eluted with methanol, further purifed and identified by LC, and quantified by fluorescence.
The units for OTA are mcg/g at the calculation for the standard solution. Is this correct? Should the units be mcg/mL?
ReplyDeleteIn standard solution using solvent or matrix extract will be in be mcg/ml but calculation for sample concentration should be mcg/g
