title: Validation study for the determination of tetracycline residues in animal tissues.
abstract: An interlaboratory study of the liquid chromatographic (LC) determination of tetracyclines--oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TTC), and chlortetracycline (CTC)--in animal tissues was conducted. Isolation was performed with oxalic buffer followed by dechelation and deproteination with oxalic acid-acetonitrile. The extract was cleaned with a styrene-divinylbenzene cartridge. LC analysis was performed with a PLRP-S column and 0.01 M oxalic acid-acetonitrile (75 + 25, v/v) as mobile phase. Participants analyzed 2 control and 10 fortified porcine muscle and kidney samples. Additionally, porcine muscle samples containing incurred residues of tetracyclines were analyzed. Mean recoveries of fortified residues from porcine tissue ranged from 76.00 to 86.89%. Repeatabilities varied from 2.05% for OTC to 3.61% for TTC for muscle samples and from 6.75% for CTC to 8.74% for OTC for kidney samples. Reproducibilities ranged from 2.05 to 4.30% for muscle samples and from 15.77 to 18.81% for kidney samples.
