title: Comparison of the effectiveness of recent extraction procedures for antibiotic residues in bovine muscle tissues.
abstract: Acetonitrile extraction followed by primary-secondary amine dispersive SPE cleanup QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe), was compared to pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) using water at 70 degrees C for 10 min at 1500 psi for the determination of 16 veterinary drugs in bovine muscle tissues by LC/MS/MS. PLE was significantly more effective for the extraction of veterinary drugs (ranging from 69 to 103% with RSD < or = 18%) than QuEChERS (ranging from 19 to 89% with RSD < or = 19%). Linearity of the calibration curves was obtained over the range considered from 10 microg/kg or LOQ to 1000, microg/kg) with r2 > or = 0.99 for all the analytes by both methods. Although an internal standard was used, matrix effects were corrected using matrix- matched standards. LODs were from 5 to 30 microg/kg for PLE and from 10 to 100 microg/kg for QuEChERS. To establish and assess the most efficient conditions for each extraction method, statistical parametric and nonparametric tests were used. PLE with water almost eliminates the use or generation of hazardous wastes. The two methods were applied successfully in a routine analysis during surveys in 2008.
