Abstract
A direct injection analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography has been developed for oxytetracycline in serum of animals and fish. A Hisep shielded hydrophobic phase column (15 cm x 4.6 mm I.D.) and a mobile phase of methanol-0.2 M oxalic acid (10:90, v/v, pH 7.0) with ultraviolet detection at 360 nm were used. The standard calibration curves in serum of chicken, hog, cattle and rainbow trout were linear over the range 0.1-20 micrograms/ml. The recoveries of oxytetracycline from all serum samples determined at two different concentrations (0.5 and 2.0 micrograms/ml) were 88-103%. The detection limit was 0.05 micrograms/ml for every serum sample.
