[Validation Study on a Method of Determination of Nosiheptide in Formula Feeds by HPLC-FL].

A determination method of nosiheptide in formula feeds by HPLC-FL was developed and validated, including an inter-laboratory study. Formula feeds were extracted with acetone after adding acetic acid. Liquid chromatographic separation was performed using a ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 column, with acetonitrile and water containing acetic acid as the mobile phase.

Validation of an HPLC analytical method coupled to a multifunctional clean-up column for the determination of deoxynivalenol.

To evaluate a method using a multifunctional clean-up column coupled with high performance liquid chromatography as an official analytical method for the determination of deoxynivalenol in wheat used as food or feed, an inter-laboratory study was performed in 12 laboratories using four naturally contaminated wheat samples and one spiked sample. The relative standard deviations for repeatability (RSDr) and reproducibility (RSDR) of naturally contaminated wheat were in the range 5.8-11.
