Determination of penicillin G in feeds by liquid chromatography with solid-phase extraction.
A liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of penicillin G in feeds. The method involves extraction of penicillin G with methanol, concentration under a stream of nitrogen, and cleanup using Phenomenex Strata-X solid-phase extraction cartridge. Analyte separation and quantification were achieved by gradient reversed-phase liquid chromatography and ultraviolet absorbance at 230 nm. Average spike recoveries for samples prepared at 3 spiking levels (25, 50, and 200 g/ton) were 96.3, 92.1, and 88.6%, respectively. The overall method precision at each of the 3 spiking levels was < or = 5.39% relative standard deviation. The limits of detection and quantititation (g/ton formulation) were 3.89 and 13.0 g/ton, respectively.
