Effects of the matrix and sample preparation on the determination of fluoroquinolone residues in animal tissues.
The effects of aqueous-organic solvent extraction and enzymic digestion sonication procedure on the isolation of spiked fluoroquinolones from poultry tissue have been studied. The highest recovery from spiked tissue was obtained using a mixture of trichloroacetic acid-acetonitrile (8:2) as extractant and an SDB1 cartridge for clean-up purposes. Validation data are presented for enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, sarafloxacin and difloxacin. The spiking procedure (spike contact time, spike solvent and matrix) had a small influence on the recovery of fluroquinolones from poultry muscle or liver. The effects of a different extraction on the determination of incurred enrofloxacin and its metabolite, ciprofloxacin, residues in poultry tissues have been investigated. The extraction procedures investigated--aqueous-organic solvent extraction, enzymic digestion or sonication--all gave similar results for incurred fluoroquinolone concentration in poultry muscle after correlation for spike recovery. The highest results were obtained in poultry liver when enzymic digestion has been used.
