Title: Multiresidue method for the determination of nitroimidazoles and their hydroxy-metabolites in poultry muscle, plasma and egg by isotope dilution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Author: Mitrowska K, Posyniak A, Zmudzki J. Journal: Talanta; 2010 Jun 15; 81(4-5):1273-80. PubMed ID: 20441895. Abstract: A multiresidue analytical procedure for the determination of four nitroimidazoles (metronidazole, dimetridazole, ronidazole, ipronidazole) and their hydroxy-metabolites in poultry muscle, plasma and egg is presented. The procedure is based on ion-exchange solid phase extraction with acetonitrile as an extractant followed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The separation of analytes was performed on a C18 column using a mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water with gradient elution. The electrospray ionization was used to obtain the protonated molecules [M+H](+) and two product ions were monitored for each compound. For the quantification stable isotope-labelled analogues of the analytes were used as internal standards. The whole procedure was evaluated according to EU Commission Decision 2002/657/EC requirements. Specificity, decision limit (CCalpha), detection capacity (CCbeta), recovery and precision were determined during validation process. The overall recoveries ranged between 93 and 103% with a good coefficient of variation, less than 14.0% under within-laboratory reproducibility conditions. CCalpha and CCbeta were 0.05-0.44 and 0.08-0.90microgkg(-1) depending on analyte and matrix.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
