Application of EPA Method 545 for the Quantitation of Anatoxin-a and Cylindrospermopsin in Water Samples

Abstract:

In this technical note, a simple, robust, reproducible, and rapid sample preparation was used to meet the requirements of the EPA Method 545. A Luna Omega 3 µm Polar C18 column was used to develop a chromatographic gradient that showed good retention from the void volume and achieved analyte baseline separation, while the sensitivity of the SCIEX QTRAP 4500 system enabled Limit of Quantitations (LOQs) of 0.10 ng/mL for Anatoxin-a and 0.20 ng/mL for Cylindrospermopsin.
