title: Monitoring of veterinary drug residues by a combination of continuous flow techniques and column-switching high-performance liquid chromatography. I. Sulphonamides in egg, meat and milk using post-column derivatization with dimethylaminobenzaldehyde.
abstract: By using a combination of a low-pressure continuous flow module and a column-switching high-performance liquid chromatographic system, procedures have been developed for the automated residue analysis of sulphonamides and selected other drugs in meat, egg and milk. Aqueous extracts are purified by on-line dialysis and subsequent trace enrichment on a short column containing silica-based or polymer material. After backflush to the analytical column, detection is performed either at 280 nm or, after post-column derivatization with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, at 450 nm. With these procedures the fully automated determination of both polar and apolar sulphonamides and dapsone above 5-20 micrograms/kg is possible. Coefficients of variation are 4-10%, recoveries compared to standards are 85-90%. The methods developed were tested in routine veterinary drug control.
