    Abstract:
    A simple and rapid method able to determine residues of erythromycin A, tylosin and tilmicosin in whole eggs is presented here. The analytical protocol involves a one-step extraction followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry. Analytes were extracted from 1g of egg spiked with an internal standard (josamycin) with acetonitrile. In terms of accuracy, matrix effect and ion signal stability, no extract cleanup was found to be necessary. After partial solvent removal, the final extract was injected into the LC column. Extraction was effective, since absolute recovery of the analyte in egg at their maximum residue limit (MRL) level was 85-102%. Estimated limits of quantification (S/N=10) were 0.2-0.5 ng/g. Based on the EU Commission Decision 2002/657/EC, the method was in-house validated in terms of ruggedness, specificity, linearity, within-laboratory reproducibility, decision limit (CCalpha) and detection capability (CCbeta). The within-laboratory reproducibility, expressed as RSD (n=18 at the MRL levels), was not higher than 13%. After validation, a short study on EA depletion in eggs was conducted after administration of this drug to laying hens.
