title: Determination of thiamphenicol in bovine plasma by liquid chromatography.
abstract: A liquid chromatographic method is described for the measurement of thiamphenicol in bovine plasma. The plasma (1 mL) is extracted with ethyl acetate. After the solvent is evaporated under a stream of nitrogen, the residue is reconstituted in methanol-water and analyzed by reverse-phase liquid chromatography with UV detection at 224 nm. The intra-day recoveries for bovine plasma spiked with 5 and 50 micrograms/mL of thiamphenicol were 102 and 101%, respectively, with coefficients of variation of 2.40 and 0.28%, respectively. The interday recoveries for the 5 and 50 micrograms/mL samples were 103 and 101%, respectively, with coefficients of variation of 3.40 and 0.94%, respectively. The sensitivity of the method allows quantitation to at least the 100 ng/mL level.
