title: A rapid method for the determination of lasalocid in animal tissues and eggs by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection and confirmation by LC-MS-MS.
abstract: A simple and rapid method has been developed for the extraction of lasalocid from chicken muscle, eggs and liver and kidney from chicken, pig, sheep and calf. This method allows the screening of a large number of samples, i.e. 30-40 within a working day, and has an overall analysis time of 90 min. Lasalocid standard solution can be detected at 1 ng ml-1 by both HPLC-fluorescence (HPLC-F) and LC-MS-MS; the limit of quantification in fortified samples by the described method is 1 ng g-1. Results show good repeatability and mean 'spiked' recoveries by HPLC-F in the range of 10 to 200 ng g-1 (ppb) of 103, 87, 107, 97, 97, 103, 93, 109 and 100% in chicken muscle, chicken liver, egg, pig liver, pig kidney, sheep liver, sheep kidney, calf liver and calf kidney, respectively. For concentrations between 1 and 6 ng g-1 of spiked lasalocid in eggs and chicken liver by LC-MS-MS, the average recoveries were 76 and 59%, respectively.
