Abstract
The aim of this work was to develop an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of ten quinolones: enoxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, enrofloxacin, sarafloxacin, oxolinic acid, nalidixic acid, and flumequine, in various tissues of food‐producing animals. Separation was achieved on a PerfectSil® Target column (250 mm×4 mm, ODS‐3, 5 μm), by MZ‐Analysentechnik (Germany), at room temperature. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% TFA–CH3OH–CH3CN and was delivered by a gradient program of 35 min. The detection and quantitation was performed on a photodiode array detector at 275 and 255 nm. Caffeine (7.5 ng/μL) was used as the internal standard (IS). Analytes were isolated from tissue samples by 0.1% methanolic TFA solution. SPE, using LiChrolut RP‐18 cartridges, was applied for further purification. The extraction protocol was optimized and the final recoveries varied between 92.0 and 107.4%. The method was fully validated according to Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. Limits of quantitation for the examined quinolones extracted from each tissue were much lower than the respective Maximum Residue Levels, ranging between 30 and 50 μg/kg for bovine tissue, between 30 and 55 μg/kg for ovine tissue, and between 40 and 50 μg/kg for porcine tissue.Keywords
