Abstract
A liquid chromatographic-atmospheric pressure ionization ion spray method is described for the determination of chloramphenicol and ketoprofen in meat and milk, chloramphenicol in egg, honey, and urine. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile (acetone for urine), the organic layer was separated from water with chloroform and evaporated to dryness, and then purified using LMS solid phase extraction columns. The method is simple, requiring only small quantities of reagents and involves minimal manual work-up procedures. The lower limits of quantification were 1 ng/mL(g) for chloramphenicol and 5 ng/mL(g) for ketoprofen in milk and meat and 2 ng/g for chloramphenicol in egg and honey, and 3 ng/mL for chloramphenicol in urine.
