AFFINIMIP® SPE Zearalenone
Specific extraction of Zearalenone from a variety of food samples matrices: cereals, baby food.
Zearalenone is a mycotoxin produced as a secondary metabolite of various Fusarium fungi. Zearalenone is known to cause estrogenic effects at relatively low levels, including infertility, reduced serum testosterone levels and sperm counts, reduced incidence of pregnancy, and change in progesterone levels. In addition, Zearalenone can delay the breeding process and cost the producer significant economic and physical losses.
In Europe, Regulation (EC) 1881/2006 sets maximum levels for Zearalenone in foodstuffs such as processed cereal-based food and baby foods at 20µg/Kg.
AFFINIMIP® SPE Zearalenone are selective solid phase extraction cartridges that selectively clean and concentrate the toxin prior to analysis by HPLC.
Benefits
- Ready for use and optimized extraction methodologies adapted to several matrices
- Perfect clean-up system for trace analysis of Zearalenone
- Very simple protocol
- Compliant with European Commission Regulation (EC) 1881/2006

Analysis of Zearalenone in Meat New!
The extraction of Zearalenone in Meat was carried out with AFFINIMIP®SPE Zearalenone before analysis.
Application note AFFINIMIP® SPE Zearalenone - Meat
Cereal products and baby food
Zearalenone analysis has been carried out on maize (41µg/Kg), rice (41µg/Kg) and cereal-based baby food (10 and 41µg/Kg). Very simple and clean chromatograms were obtained after a clean up with AFFINIMIP® SPE Zearalenone.
Application note AFFINIMIP® SPE Zearalenone Cereal Products and Baby Food
Edible corn oil
This method uses a very quick sample preparation by simply diluting corn oil in a solvent before cleanup. Cleanup with AFFINIMIP®SPE Zearalenone provides clear and unambiguous results at a broad range of concentration levels. The tests performed demonstrate high recovery yields with a low background.
Automated protocol
The combination of AFFINIMIP® SPE Zearalenone cartridges with an automate GILSON GX-271 ASPEC™ shows accurate and reliable analysis with recovery yields higher than 80% on a wheat sample.
