Concentration of thiamine recovered following filtration of 125 mL 100 nM thiamine in commercially bottled HPLC grade water pH adjusted to 3.5–6.5 through (a) GF/F glass fiber (0.7 μm pore size) and (b) 0.2 µm polyethersulfone (PES) filters after vortexing filters in 2 mL alkaline potassium ferricyanide. The results are after conversion of the filter-retained thiamine to thiochrome using alkaline ferricyanide with fluorescence detection at (a) λex = 360/40 nm, λem = 450/50 nm and (b) λex = 360/9 nm, λem = 450/15 nm.
