EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 17256 standard. This standard describes a method for the determination of individual ergot alkaloids and tropane alkaloids by high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in unprocessed grains and grain-based compound feeds.
This method has been successfully validated by collaborative work on the following matrices: rye, barley, wheat, whole feed for cattle, pigs and poultry.
In buckwheat, validation yielded acceptable results, but relative standard reproducibility was higher for most analytes compared with other matrices. It may be related to the matrix.
The validated range of the method is about 10 to 250 µg/kg for individual alkaloids. Determination of concentrations above 250 µg/kg is possible by applying a higher spiking level and diluting the sample extract, but this has not been confirmed in the collaborative study.
