title: Determination of chloramphenicol in muscle, liver, kidney and urine of pigs by means of immunoaffinity chromatography and gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.
abstract: A rapid and specific clean-up procedure based on immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC) with polyclonal antibodies for the gas chromatographic determination with electron-capture detection of chloramphenicol in pig muscle tissue, organs and urine is described. A commercially available IAC material was used for the analysis. A decrease in the capacity of the column after being used more than 100 times was observed. Mean recoveries were 69, 54, 62 and 95% for spiked pig muscle tissue, liver, kidney and urine, respectively. The limit of detection was 0.2 micrograms/kg for muscle tissue, 2.0 micrograms/kg for liver and kidney and 0.4 micrograms/kg for urine.
