Abstract
A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–ESI-MS/MS) method to quantify thiamphenicol (TAP), florfenicol (FF), and florfenicol amine (FFA) in swine muscle is described. An immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC) column based on polyclonal antibodies and protein A-sepharose CL 4B was used to clean-up extracted samples. IAC optimized conditions were found that allowed the IAC to be reused for selective binding of TAP, FF, and FFA. The dynamic column capacity was more than 512 ng/mL of gel after being used for 15 cycles. From fortified swine muscle samples at levels of 0.4–50 ng/g, the average recoveries were 85.2–98.9% with intra- and inter-day variations less than 9.8% and 12.4%, respectively. The limit of quantitation ranged from 0.4 to 4.0 μg/kg.
