Data acquisition of triple quadrupole LC-MS for the citrinin determination
Abstract
The analysis of citrinin is challenging because it needs to be detected in low concentrations in complex sample matrices. Before citrinin quantification, the data acquisition of LC-MS/MS must be performed, which includes the determination of ion monitoring reaction (SRM), finding fragmentation energies (Frag.) and collision cell energies (CE) for which the response of citrinin will be the highest for the given conditions. The best response of citrinin is obtained for Frag. of 66 V and CE of 17 and 29 V. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, Grant no. TR31018]
