Establishment and application of clean-up combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for the detection of 16 quinolones in animal-derived food
Objective:A method for simultaneous detection of 16 quinolones in food of animal origin was developed byclean-up column pretreatment combined with ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.Methods:Food samples of animal origin were extracted using 80%acetonitrile(containing 0.2%formic acid).After purification on a Speedy Prep®-Quino 1 column,16 quinolone residues were detected by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.Results:The results showed that the linear range of 16 quinolones was 1.6~40.0 μg/kg,the correlation coefficient r≥0.996 1,the limits of detection were 0.14~0.80 μg/kg,and the limits of quantification were 0.47~2.68 μg/kg.The recoveries of seven matrix after pretreatment were 62%~112%,and the relative standard deviations were 0.9%~18.7%.Conclusion:The method has the characteristics of fast detection speed and high sensitivity,and can be applied to animal derived food such as mutton,duck,beef,fish,eggs,pig kidney,duck skin.
