Quantitative determination of Closantel residues in milk by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.
A HPLC method with fluorescence detection for quantitative determination of Closantel residues in milk has been developed and validated. The proposed cleaning procedure with acetonitrile and acetone extraction, and solid-phase clean-up with Florisil enables concentrations of Closantel below 50 micrograms/l to be determined. The method was shown to be sufficient, precise, accurate, selective and rugged. The method was applied in the regular monitoring of Closantel residues in milk and of the pharmacokinetic behavior of Closantel in sheep.
