title: Evaluation of analyte stability and method ruggedness in the determination of streptomycin residues in honey by liquid chromatography with post-column derivatization.
abstract: This study demonstrated that streptomycin in honey is quite stable, and the results showed no obvious differences for 3 samples containing incurred analyte during continuous testing for 4 months. Fifteen laboratories evaluated method performance at 4 fortification levels ranging from 0.010 to 0.100 mg/kg; the recoveries ranged from 73.7 to 78.5%, the reproducibility relative standard deviations ranged from 5.76 to 15.85%, and the repeatability relative standard deviations ranged from 1.64 to 3.80%. In 1999-2002, the method was used to determine streptomycin residues in 5106 lots of honey samples from >20 provinces all over China. All of the honey samples were found to be in conformity with the requirements of customs clearance for exports to Europe, the United States, and Japan. The continuous 4-year quality analysis also found that C18 solid-phase extraction cartridges should be standardized to ensure that the analytical results are accurate when different lots of cartridges are used.
