This standard specifies HPLC methods for drug residue detection of ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, and enrofloxacin in animal derived food.
This standard applies for the detection of drug residues of ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, and enrofloxacin in the muscles, liver and kidneys of pigs and chickens. (The sample of this experiment is chicken)
Reference Standard: Method for the Detection of Fluoroquinolone Drug Residues in Animal Derived Food, No. 1025 Announcement -14-2008 by Ministry of Agriculture, HPLC
Extraction Steps
Accurately weigh 2.0g chicken sample in the centrifuge tube, then add 10.0mL phosphate buffer solution. Mix well with ultrasound for 10min, and centrifuge at 8000r/min for 10min. Transfer the supernatant into another centrifugal tube, and add 10.0mL phosphate buffer solution in residue. Repeat the above extraction steps mentioned above, and combine all the supernatant.
Purification Steps
SPE column: Welchrom® BRP column, specification: 200mg/6mL.
Activation: 2mL methanol, 2mL phosphate buffered solution, discard;
Sample loading: 5mL supernatant, discard;
Washing: 1mLwater water,drain and discard;
