Development of an analytical method for penicillin G in bovine milk by liquid chromatography with ultraviolet-visible detection and confirmation by mass spectrometric detection.
A liquid chromatographic (LC) method with ultraviolet-visible photodiode array (UV-VIS PDA) detection was developed to measure penicillin G in bovine milk. A liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric (LC-MS) procedure was divised to confirm the LC method. The method involved diluting milk with a drug-releasing solvent consisting of acetonitrile-methanol-water and ultrafiltration through a 10,000 dalton cutoff filter. Penicillin G was separated from other components in the ultrafiltrate by ion-paired LC using a reversed-phase microbore column eluted with a 25% acetonitrile solution. The LC method was confirmed by thermospray LC-MS. The detection limit for penicillin G determination in milk was estimated to be 10 ppb for LC with UV-VIS PDA and 100 ppb for LC-MS.
