The new pre-concentration technique, hollow fiber-solid phase microextraction based on carbon nanotube reinforced sot-gel and liquid chromatography-photodiode array detection was applied to determination of aflatoxins B-1, B-2 (AFB(1), AFB(2)) in rice, peanut and wheat samples. This research provides an overview of trends related to synthesis of solid phase microextraction (SPME) sorbnents that improves the assay of aflatoxins as the semi-polar compounds in several real samples. It mainly includes summary and a list of the results for a simple carbon nanotube reinforced sot-gel in-fiber device. This device was used for extraction. pre-concentration and determination of aflatoxins B-1, B-2 in real samples. In this technique carbon nanotube reinforced sot was prepared by the sol-gel method via the reaction of phenyl trimethoxysilane (PTMS) with a basic catalyst (tris hydroxymethyl aminomethan). The influences of microextraction parameters such as pH, ageing time, carbon nanotube contents, desorption conditions, desorption solvent and agitation speed were investigated. Optimal HPLC conditions were: C-18 reversed phase column for separation, water-acetonitril-methanol (35:10:55) as the mobile phase and maximum wavelength for detection was 370 nm. The method was evaluated statistically and under optimized conditions, the detection limits for the analytes were 0.074 and 0.061 ng/mL for B-1 and B-2 respectively. Limit of quantification for B-1 and B-2 was 0.1 ng/mL too (n=7). The precisions were in the range of 2.829-2.976% (n = 3). and linear ranges were within 0.1 and 400 ng/mL. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of cereals (peanut, wheat, rice) with the relative recoveries from 47.43% to 106.83%. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
