            Multiple chromatograms and automatically calculated quantitative results can be con rmed in the same window by simply dragging acquired data to the
 components and analytical parameters for regulated components, sample measurements can be started immediately.

 In addition to the above screening kit and Nexera-i system, standard samples for the regulated components, pretreatment cartridges, and mobile phases are also required.

 A atoxins Detectable Directly without Fluorescent Derivatization

 By using the i-Series built-in PDA detector with an RF-20Axs  uorescence detector, which offers the highest sensitivity levels in the world, the system can
 detect a atoxins at concentration levels speci ed as criteria values*  in EU directives, without using  uorescent derivatization. The instruction manual

 provided with the system includes pretreatment methods optimized for target samples, which are grains (soft wheat and rice  ours), milk, and apples. The
 troubleshooting section includes key considerations for each process step, from extraction to acquisition, which helps ensure that reliable data can be
 acquired even when analyzing samples for the  rst time.  *2: Excluding foods intended for infants
