Exploring the Limits of Mycotoxin Analysis
Author(s)Lidija Kenjeric, Alasdair Matheson
During her PhD at BOKU University Vienna, Lidija Kenjerić developed a multi-class UHPLC–MS/MS quantitative method covering 931 mycotoxins and secondary metabolites within an 11-min runtime, providing a scalable solution for routine testing, regulatory, and emergency response.

In the paper “Exploring the Limits of UHPLC–MS/MS with Polarity Switching Towards the Quantification of 931 mycotoxins and Other Secondary Metabolites in Cereal-based Food”, what was the scientific and regulatory rationale for developing an 11-min ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) method capable of quantifying 931 mycotoxins and secondary metabolites in cereal-based foods?1
