A method for the analysis of lincomycin in porcine and bovine kidney

Abstract
A method of analysis has been developed for the estimation of lincomycin in porcine and bovine kidney. The method employed high performance liquid chromatography and Sep‐Pak clean‐up of methanolic tissue extracts and nitrogen specific gas Chromatographic detection. Using spiked (0·1 mg kg−1) extracts recoveries in the range 40–50% were obtained. Analysis at the 0.05 mg kg−1 level is possible. Fifty four samples of kidney destined for UK sale were analysed for the presence of this drug. No samples were found to contain lincomycin.
