Application of principal component regression to luminescence data for the screening of ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin in animal tissues.
A new screening method for the analysis of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin in edible animal tissues is described. The method is based on the application of principal component regression to luminescence measurements after reaction of quinolones with terbium(III) in a micellar medium. The method was used, first, to discriminate between quinolone-containing or quinolone-not-containing samples (concentration below the detection limit) and, then, to quantify the sum of both analytes. Standards in a pure-water matrix, using the first three principal components, were used for the determination. RRMSE range from 4 to 10% depending on the analyte. Calibration was successfully applied to the analysis of spiked chicken and trout muscle at concentrations between 10 and 50 micrograms kg-1.
