title: Fully automated high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of whole blood and plasma samples using on-line dialysis as sample preparation. Determination of oxytetracycline in bovine and salmon whole blood and plasma.
abstract: A fully automated technique for high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of whole blood and plasma is described. Samples are automatically injected into a dialyser where proteins and blood cells are removed. The dialysates are concentrated on a small column prior to analysis. This technique is used for the determination of oxytetracycline in whole blood and plasma. After dialysis oxytetracycline and the internal standard, tetracycline, are retained on a polystyrene enrichment column and subsequently separated on a polystyrene analytical column by ion-pair chromatography. Using ultraviolet detection 50 ng/ml can be detected. Validation showed good within-day and between-day accuracy and precision. Different oxytetracycline concentrations were found in plasma and whole blood. This difference varied between the species.
