Laboratory proficiency testing of aflatoxins in corn and peanuts. A cooperative project between Thailand and the United States.

An aflatoxin proficiency test program in government, academia and industry laboratories was conducted in Thailand.  The test was conducted according to the ISO/IUPAC/AOAC International Harmonized Protocol with z scores indicating laboratory performance.  The participants used 3 methods: ELISA, TLC and the minicolumn.  Among laboratories that reported results for aflatoxins in naturally contaminated corn and naturally contaminated peanuts, 68 and 48%, respectively, performed satisfactorily on the basis of the mean obtained by an expert laboratory, a calculated target value for standard deviation, and the z score.  Subsequently, a workshop of lectures and laboratory sessions was conducted to improve performance.
