Monitoring Methods used by OSHA
Laboratory Sampling/Analytical Method:
-
note: Call SLTC for sampling instructions for all Aflatoxins.
article: Goto, Tetsuhisa; Journal of Chromatography, 447 (1988) 410-4.
analytical condition: GC/FID, column- 15m 0.25µm DB-5, temperature 50-300°C at 15°C/min. “When the initial temperature of the column and injector was higher than 60°C, all four AF peaks became broad and the sensitivity was reduced”. Analytical solvent was benzene:acetonitrile (98:2).
