HPLC Set-Up For Myco6in1
- 1. HPLC Set-up The flow sequence of LC system used in present study was from HPLC column to PDA detector, to PHRED, to post column reactor, and then to fluorescence detector. The reagent manager was connected to the post column reactor and controlled by Empower software. The flow rate for derivatization mixture was 0.5ml/min. The reagent manager was set to pump derivatization mixture at 18.5min and stop at 23min in the section of event of Waters’ 2795 Separation Module. The column temperature was set to 30 ± 5ºC. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile, methanol, and 0.1% phosphate acid in water; and the flow rate was 1.0ml/min. Gradient elution, and the events of fluorescent detector were shown in Table 1 and 2. The derivatization of aflatoxins was performed by photochemical reactor for enhanced detection. The derivatization of fumonisins was done according the procedure described previously. Briefly, borate buffer was made by dissolving 19g of sodium tetraborate decahydrate in 1 liter purified water and filtering through 0.45µm membrane, and stored in room temperature. Dissolve 150mg of OPA in 5ml methanol, add to 500ml borate buffer, and add 500ul of 2- mercaptoethanol, mix well, filter through 0.45µm membrane and place in a bottle protecting from light. The mixture of fumonisin derivatization can be used for a week.
