Matrix solid-phase dispersion as a multiresidue extraction technique for beta-agonists in bovine liver tissue.
A procedure for the extraction of salbutamol including conjugated forms of the drug, from liver samples, is described. It combines matrix solid-phase dispersion with radioimmunoassay for the measurement of salbutamol residues at the sub-ppb level. Inter- and intra-assay validation, carried out on fortified liver samples, show good recoveries over the range 1-5 ppb of salbutamol. An enzyme hydrolysis procedure was optimized for the deconjugation of incurred residue. The developed procedure is shown to be suitable for the extraction and determination of other beta-agonists such as clenbuterol, mabuterol, terbutaline, and cimaterol at residue levels of less than 1 ng g-1.
