Abstract
An efficient and innovative clean-up method was developed for the rapid screening of β-agonists residues in porcine urine by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). 1% Aqueous ammonium hydroxide was shown to be effective for the removal of matrix components as a wash step in solid phase extraction (SPE). A significant reduction in matrix effects was observed with values from 81% to 108%. Furthermore, under the optimized conditions, the recoveries of all analytes at 0.3, 0.6, and 3.0 μg/L ranged from 70.1% to 109.0% when employing the external standard method for quantitative analysis, rather than relying on matrix-matched standards or isotope-labelled internal standards to mitigate matrix effects. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.1 μg/L and 0.3 μg/L, respectively. This method has been successfully applied to screen β-agonists in porcine urine and is a promising tool for multi-residue analysis.
