title: Simultaneous determination of residual synthetic antibacterials in fish by high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: A simple and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the simultaneous determination of sulphamonomethoxine (SMMX), sulphadimethoxine (SDMX), sulphisozole (SIZ), nalidixic acid (NA), oxolinic acid (OXA), piromidic acid (PMA), furazolidone (FZ) and sodium nifurstyrenate (NFSA) in cultured fish was developed. The drugs were extracted with 0.2% metaphosphoric acid-methanol (6:4), followed by a Bond Elut C18 clean-up procedure. The HPLC separation was carried out on an Inertsil ODS column (150 x 4.6 mm I.D.) using 5 mM aqueous oxalic acid-acetonitrile (55:45) as the mobile phase with detection at 265 nm (0.04 a.u.f.s.). The calibration graphs were rectilinear from 1 to 20 ng for OXA, from 2 to 50 ng for SMMX, SDMX, SIZ, NA, PMA and FZ and from 5 to 100 ng for NFSA. The recoveries of each drug added to fish were 65.0-89.5%. The detection limits were 0.02 micrograms/g for OXA, 0.05 micrograms/g for SMMX, SDMX, SIZ, NA, PMA and FZ and 0.1 micrograms/g for NFSA.
