title: Determination of olaquindox residues in swine tissues by liquid chromatography.
abstract: A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for determination of olaquindox residues in swine tissues. The drug is extracted from tissues with acetonitrile, and the extract is evaporated to dryness. This residue is cleaned up by alumina column chromatography. LC analysis is carried out on a Nucleosil C18 column, and olaquindox is quantitated by ultraviolet detection at 350 nm. The average recoveries of olaquindox added to tissues at levels of 0.2, 0.1, and 0.05 ppm were 74.0, 68.6, and 66.3%, respectively. The detection limit was 2 ng for olaquindox standard and 0.02 ppm in tissues.
