title: Liquid chromatographic assay of tetracyclines in tissues of food-producing animals.
abstract: A survey of the literature is presented on liquid chromatographic (LC) determination of tetracyclines in plasma, urine, and tissues of food-producing animals. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) research on tetracyclines during 1973-1984 is discussed, including the thin layer chromatographic qualitative identification method for tissues. Research on development of LC column packings for trace level chromatography of tetracyclines and anhydrotetracyclines is also discussed. Data are shown for recovery, ruggedness testing, and analyst qualification studies on the tentative version of the LC method.
