Dihydrostreptomycin (DHS) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used in veterinary medicine in combination with benzylpenicillin for the treatment of bacterial infections in cattle, pigs and sheep. A method to determine its residues in edible tissues of cattle, as well as in milk, was developed and validated. Extraction of DHS from the tissues was performed using a liquid extraction with a 10 mM phosphate buffer containing 2% (w/v) trichloroacetic acid, while milk samples were treated with a 50% (w/v) trichloroacetic acid solution, followed by a solid-phase clean-up procedure on a carboxypropyl (CBA) weak cation exchange column. Ion-pair chromatography, using a mixture of 20 mM pentafluoropropionic acid in water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase, was used to retain DHS and the internal standard streptomycin (STR) on a Nucleosil (5 microm) reversed-phase C18 column. The components were detected and quantified by electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry. The method could be validated according to EC (European Community) requirements with respect to linearity, trueness and precision, the latter evaluated at the maximum residue limit (MRL) - 1000 ng g(-1) for kidney, 500 ng g(-1) for muscle, liver and fat, and 200 ng g(-1) for milk -, at one-half of the MRL and at one and a half times the MRL. A limit of quantification of 10 ng g(-1) and 1 ng ml(-1) was obtained for all tissues and for milk, respectively, which is far below one-half of the MRL as requested, while the limit of detection was in the low ppb range, varying between 1.9 and 4.2 ng g(-1) for the different tissues tested, and being 0.6 ng ml(-1) for milk. The method was used for the monitoring of DHS residues in incurred tissue and milk samples coming from cattle medicated with DHS in combination with benzylpenicillin by intramuscular injection, in order to evaluate withdrawal times.  相似文献

To protect the allergic consumer, analytical methods need to be capable of detecting allergens in finished products that typically contain multiple allergens. An LC/MS/MS method for simultaneous detection of seven allergens was developed and compared with commercially available ELISA kits. The detection capabilities of this novel method were demonstrated by analyzing incurred material containing milk, egg, soy, peanut, hazelnut, walnut, and almond. Bread was chosen as a model matrix. To assess the influence of baking on the method's performance, analysis was done before and after baking. The same samples were analyzed with ELISA test kits from ELISA Systems, Morinaga, Neogen, and r-Biopharm. Peanut, hazelnut, walnut, and almond could be detected with both ELISA and LC/MS/MS regardless of whether the product was baked or not. LC/MS/MS clearly showed superior detection of milk in processed matrixes compared to ELISA, which exhibited significantly lower sensitivities when analyzing the baked products. Similar results were obtained when analyzing egg; however, one kit was capable of detecting egg in the processed samples as well.  相似文献

Honey samples (n = 100; origin: various countries from Eurasia, Oceania, and the Americas) were analysed by enzyme immunoassays (EIA) for tetracyclines, streptomycin, and sulfathiazole. Considering antibody specificity, these EIAs are either quantitative (streptomycin) or qualitative (tetracyclines, sulfathiazole) tests. Honey extract purification was achieved by liquid-liquid partition (tetracyclines), and by solid phase extraction-immunoaffinity chromatography (streptomycin, sulfathiazole). Detection limits were 20 micrograms kg-1 (tetracycline equivalents), 10 micrograms kg-1 (streptomycin), and 50 micrograms kg-1 (sulfathiazole equivalents), with mean recoveries of 100-117%. A total of 42% of the samples was found positive by EIA; 25% were positive in one assay, 13% in two, and 3% were positive in all three tests. In the EIA for tetracyclines, 26% were positive, with 12 samples exceeding a level of 50 micrograms kg-1 (tetracycline equivalents). In the EIA for streptomycin, 19% were positive, with a mean concentration of 19 +/- 12 micrograms kg-1. In the sulfathiazole EIA, 16% of the samples were positive, with 13 samples exceeding a level of 100 micrograms kg-1 (sulfathiazole equivalents). However, when samples which were positive in the sulfathiazole EIA were reanalysed for sulfonamides by HPLC, no sulfa drugs could be detected. Experimental heating (40 degrees C) of honey spiked with sulfathiazole indicated that the sulfa drug(s) responsible for positive EIA results could be present a sugar derivatives.  相似文献

Peanut proteins can cause allergenic reactions that can result in respiratory and circulatory effects in the body sometimes leading to shock and death. The determination of peanut proteins in foods by analytical methods can reduce the risk of serious reactions in the highly sensitized individual by allowing for the detection of these proteins in a food at various stages of the manufacturing process. The method performance of 4 commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits was evaluated for the detection of peanut proteins in milk chocolate, ice cream, cookies, and breakfast cereals: ELISA-TEK Peanut Protein Assay, now known as "Bio-Kit" for peanut proteins, from ELISA Technologies Inc.; Veratox for Peanut Allergens from Neogen Corp.; RIDASCREEN Peanut Kit from R-Biopharm GmbH; and ProLisa from Canadian Food Technology Ltd. The 4 test kits were evaluated for accuracy (recovery) and precision using known concentrations of peanut or peanut proteins in the 4 food matrixes. Two different techniques, incurred and spiked, were used to prepare samples with 4 known concentrations of peanut protein. Defatted peanut flour was added in the incurred samples, and water-soluble peanut proteins were added in the spiked samples. The incurred levels were 0.0, 10, 20, and 100 microg whole peanut per g food; the spiked levels were 0.0, 5, 10, and 20 microg peanut protein per g food. Performance varied by test kit, protein concentration, and food matrix. The Veratox kit had the best accuracy or lowest percent difference between measured and incurred levels of 15.7% when averaged across all incurred levels and food matrixes. Recoveries associated with the Veratox kit varied from 93 to 115% for all food matrixes except cookies. Recoveries for all kits were about 50% for cookies. The analytical precision, as measured by the variance, increased with an increase in protein concentration. However, the coefficient of variation (CV) was stable across the 4 incurred protein levels and was 7.0% when averaged across the 4 food matrixes and analytical kits. The R-Biopharm test kit had the best precision or a CV of 4.2% when averaged across all incurred levels and food matrixes. Because measured protein values varied by test kit and food matrix, a method was developed to normalize or transform measured protein concentrations to an adjusted protein value that was equal to the known protein concentration. The normalization method adjusts measured protein values to equal the true protein value regardless of the type test kit or type food matrix.  相似文献

A new analytical method, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) techniques, was developed for the determination in packaged food beverages of five ink photoinitiator residues: 2-isopropylthioxanthone (ITX), benzophenone, 2-ethylhexyl-4-dimethylaminobenzoate (EHDAB), 1-hydroxycyclohexyl-1-phenyl ketone (IRGACURE 184) and ethyl-4-dimethylaminobenzoate (EDAB). Samples were extracted from selected beverages (milk, fruit juices and wine) and relative packagings, using n-hexane and dichloromethane, respectively, purified on solid-phase extraction (SPE) silica gel cartridges, and then analyzed in GC/MS and LC/MS. The recovery percentages, obtained spiking the beverage samples at concentrations of 4 and 10 microgl(-1) with a standard mixture of photoinitiators, were in the range 42-108% (milk), 50-84% (wine), and 48-109% (fruit juices). The repeatability of the method was assessed in all cases by the % of correlation value, that was lower than 19%. The lowest limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs), obtained using GC/MS, were in the range 0.2-1 and 1-5 microgl(-1), respectively. The method was applied to the analysis of forty packaged food beverages (milk, fruit juices and wine samples). The most significant contamination was that of benzophenone, found in all samples in a concentration range of 5-217mugl(-1). Its presence was confirmed by an LC/Atmospheric-Pressure PhotoIonization (APPI)/MS/MS analysis. The photoinitiator (EHDAB) was found in eleven out of forty beverages in a concentration range of 0.13-0.8 microgl(-1). Less important was the ITX contamination, found in three out of forty samples in a range 0.2-0.24 microgl(-1). The work proposes a new method to analyze ink photoinitiator residues in polycoupled carton packaging and in contained food beverages.  相似文献

The European Commission (EC) established the Standards, Measurements and Testing programme for the preparation of Reference Materials (RMs) as an aid to harmonise testing for veterinary drug residues throughout the European Union (EU). The production of chlortetracycline (CTC)-free and CTC-incurred pig tissues as candidate RMs is described. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection of CTC and 4-epi-CTC was used for all tissue analyses. A pilot study revealed that incurred CTC residues were stable in pig kidney, liver and muscle lyophilised powders during storage for 10 weeks at -70, -20 and +37 degrees C, obviating the need for addition of a stabiliser (thimerosal). In the main study, 500 vials each of CTC-free and CTC-incurred kidney, liver and muscle were produced. Target concentrations in the CTC-incurred lyophilised tissue powders were 750-1500, 500-1000 and 300-600 micrograms kg-1 for kidney, liver and muscle, respectively. Following lyophilisation, the mean +/- s concentrations of CTC in the incurred positive RMs were 1,315 +/- 56.9, 765 +/- 35.3 and 378 +/- 16.8 micrograms kg-1 for kidney, liver and muscle respectively. Residual moisture in the RMs ranged from 1.6 +/- 0.53% for muscle to 3.0 +/- 0.50% for liver. Between-vial homogeneity for incurred powders was determined for 20 vials of each material, which had been removed at regular intervals during the filling process. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) for kidney, liver and muscle were 4.3, 4.6 and 4.4% respectively, being within the interassay RSD of the method and indicating that mixing was effective. Stability of powders stored at -18, 4, 20 and 37 degrees C was assessed over a period of 79 weeks. No measurable degradation occurred over this time period at any of the storage temperatures. It is concluded that these candidate RMs are homogenous, stable and are suitable for certification.  相似文献

A rapid pretreatment-free immunochromatographic assay was developed for the control of the streptomycin (STR) content in milk and dairy products. The assay is based on the competition between an immobilized STR–protein conjugate and STR in a sample to be tested for the binding to monoclonal anti-STR antibodies conjugated to colloidal gold during the flow of the sample along a membrane strip with immobilized reactants. It is possible to improve the cut-off level of positive and negative samples distinguished by a change in the molar STR to protein ratio in the immobilized conjugate. The cut-off level (500 ng mL−1) thus achieved corresponds to the stated MRL of STR in milk and dairy products. For STR concentrations in the range of 16–250 ng mL−1 its content can be quantitatively measured based on the degree of binding of a colloidal gold label in the test strip zone with the immobilized STR–protein conjugate. The duration of the assay is 10 min. The selected sizes of membrane pores and colloidal gold particles allow the assay to be carried out at room temperature without additional reactants and pretreatment. The applicability of the assay for milk, whole milk, sour clotted milk, and kefir with different fat content (from 0.5% to 6%) was confirmed. The results of quantitative immunochromatographic assay show good correlation with traditional ELISA (r was equal to 0.935 and 0.940 for the series tested).  相似文献

Immunochemical detection of aminoglycosides in milk and kidney   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
In 1996, the European Union established provisional maximum residue limits (MRL) for gentamicin, neomycin, streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin in milk and tissue (0.1-5 mg kg-1). For the detection of these four aminoglycosides, three enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for applications in milk and kidney were developed. The screening of defatted and diluted milk resulted in limits of determination (LDM) of < 0.01 mg l-1. Kidney samples were deproteinized with a trichloroacetic acid solution (3%) and after filtration and the addition of buffer, aliquots were used in the ELISA. The LDM of the four aminoglycosides in kidney were < 0.05 mg kg-1. The ELISA were found suitable for the semi-quantitative screening of milk and kidney for the presence of the four aminoglycosides far below the MRL levels. In randomly taken milk samples (n = 776) and in kidneys derived from healthy pigs (n = 124), the aminoglycoside residues found were far below their established MRL. In eight out of the 94 kidney samples obtained from diseased animals after emergency slaughter, aminoglycoside residues were above the MRL.  相似文献

A method is presented for the determination of dihydrostreptomycin in milk, muscle and kidney by reversed-phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography and post-column derivatisation with beta-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate prior to fluorescence detection. The new sample work-up procedures include acid precipitation of proteins and, in the case of muscle and kidney, removal of fats by solvent extraction followed by solid phase extraction on a cation exchanger. The fluorescence response was linear from 25 to 2000 micrograms l-1 of injected analyte. The detection limits were 10 micrograms kg-1 for milk and 15 micrograms kg-1 for muscle and kidney and the analyte recoveries were on average 93% for milk, 70% for kidney and 75% for muscle.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of clenbuterol (Cb) were investigated to determine the extent to which analysis of plasma concentration can be used to discriminate between therapeutic and illicit growth promoting treatment of cattle. Analysis of plasma concentration enabled assessment of the extent of differences in pharmacokinetics between such dosing regimens. Cattle were treated with Cb using either a therapeutic (20 calves, 0.8 microgram Cb kg-1, twice daily in feed for 10 days), or growth promoting (30 calves, 10 micrograms Cb kg-1, twice daily by drench for 20 days) dosing regimens. Blood samples were collected by jugular venepuncture, and plasma Cb concentrations determined by direct enzyme immunoassay. To determine plasma pharmacokinetics, use of a two compartment model was applied to the data and revealed that steady state kinetics were reached after 3 and 5 days following initiation of therapeutic and growth promoting dosing regimens, respectively. Tolerance limit analysis of concentrations during the therapeutic regimen indicated that a plasma Cb concentration greater than 1.63 ng ml-1 would be indicative (p < 0.01) of a growth promoting dose.  相似文献

A microbial receptor assay (Charm II Tablet Beta-Lactam Test) and liquid chromatography (LC) were compared for determination of penicillin G (PG) and amoxicillin (AMOX) in reconstituted milk powder. Nonfat dry milk and whole dry milk were reconstituted (10%, w/v) to concentrations of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 ppb PG; nonfat dry milk was reconstituted (10%, w/v) to 0, 7.5, 10, and 15 ppb AMOX. Reconstituted samples were analyzed blindly by each method. Concentrations determined by both methods demonstrated good agreement. A significant difference between methods (p < or = 0.05) was observed only for 7.5 ppb PG in defatted dry milk. Significant differences were not observed between known concentrations and concentrations determined by the Charm II assay for PG or AMOX in defatted dry milk and PG in whole dry milk. Results by LC showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between known and measured concentrations at 10 ppb PG in both milks and 0 ppb AMOX in defatted dry milk. These results suggest that both the microbial receptor assay and LC may be useful for determination of PG and AMOX near safe level and tolerance, respectively, in reconstituted milk powder.  相似文献

Rapid methods are described for determination of flumequine (FLU) residues in muscle and plasma of farm-raised channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). FLU residues were extracted from tissues with an acidified methanol solution, and extracts were cleaned up on C18 solid-phase extraction cartridges. FLU concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography (LC) using a C18 analytical column and fluorescence detection (excitation, 325 nm; emission, 360 nm). Mean recoveries of FLU from fortified muscle were 87-94% at 5 levels ranging from 10 to 160 ppb (5 replicates per level). FLU recoveries from fortified plasma were 92-97% at 5 levels ranging from 20 to 320 ppb. Limits of detection (signal-to-noise ratio, 3:1) for the method as described were 3 and 6 ppb for muscle and plasma, respectively. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) for recoveries were < or = 12%. Live catfish were dosed with 14C-labeled or unlabeled FLU to generate incurred residues. Recoveries of 14C residues throughout extraction and cleanup were 90 and 94% for muscle and plasma, respectively. RSDs for incurred FLU at 2 levels in muscle and plasma ranged from 2 to 6%. The identity of FLU in incurred tissues was confirmed by LC/mass spectrometry.  相似文献

Validated liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) methods are now widely used for quantitation of drugs in post-dose (incurred) biological samples for the assessment of pharmacokinetic parameters, bioavailability and bioequivalence. In accordance with the practice currently accepted within the pharmaceutical industry and the regulatory bodies, validation of a bioanalytical LC/MS/MS method is performed using standards and quality control (QC) samples prepared by spiking the drug (the analyte) into the appropriate blank biological matrix (e.g. human plasma). The method is then declared to be adequately validated for analyzing incurred biological samples. However, unlike QC samples, incurred samples may contain an epimer or another type of isomer of the drug, such as a Z or E isomer. Such a metabolite will obviously interfere with the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) transition used for the quantitation of the drug. The incurred sample may also contain a non-isomeric metabolite having a molecular mass different from that of the drug (such an acylglucuronide metabolite) that can still contribute to (and hence interfere with) the SRM transition used for the quantitation of the drug. The potential for the SRM interference increases with the use of LC/MS/MS bioanalytical methods with very short run times (e.g. 0.5 min). In addition, a metabolite can potentially undergo degradation or conversion to revert back to the drug during the multiple steps of sample preparation that precede the introduction of the processed sample into the LC/MS/MS system. In this paper, we recommend a set of procedures to undertake with incurred samples, as soon as such samples are available, in order to establish the validity of an LC/MS/MS method for analyzing real-life samples. First, it is recommended that the stability of incurred samples be investigated 'as is' and after sample preparation. Second, it is recommended that potential SRM interference be investigated by analyzing the incurred samples using the same LC/MS/MS method but with the additional incorporation of the SRM transitions attributable to putative metabolites (multi-SRM method). The metabolites monitored will depend on the expected metabolic products of the drug, which are predictable based on the functional groups present in the chemical structure of the drug. Third, it is recommended that potential SRM interference be further investigated by analyzing the incurred samples using the multi-SRM LC/MS/MS method following the modification of chromatographic conditions to enhance chromatographic separation of the drug from any putative metabolites. We will demonstrate the application of the proposed strategy by using a carboxylic acid containing drug candidate and its acylglucuronide as a putative metabolite. Plasma samples from the first-in-man (FIM) study of the drug candidate were used as the incurred samples.  相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method based on solid phase extraction was developed for the simultaneous determination of fenbendazole (FBZ), fenbendazole sulfoxide (FBZ-SO) and fenbendazole sulfone (FBZ-SO2) in trout muscle and skin tissues. The compounds were extracted with acetonitrile and the extract was concentrated and cleaned up by solid phase extraction on C18 and CN cartridges. The extract was analysed by reversed-phase gradient HPLC on a C18 column followed by ultraviolet detection at 290 nm. The method's detection limits were 4.0 micrograms kg-1 for FBZ, 4.5 micrograms kg-1 for FBZ-SO and 3.8 micrograms kg-1 for FBZ-SO2. The mean recovery in muscle was 88% for FBZ, 94% for FBZ-SO and 92% for FBZ-SO2 at a level of 5-150 micrograms kg-1. The corresponding mean recoveries in skin tissue were 88, 81 and 86% at a level of 10-100 micrograms kg-1. The mean relative repeatability standard deviation was 9.2% at a level of 5 micrograms kg-1, 5.9% at a level of 10-100 micrograms kg-1 and 2.3% at a level of 150 micrograms kg-1. The method was applied to trout given feed containing FBZ in an aquaculture pilot plant. The three compounds FBZ, FBZ-SO and FBZ-SO2 were all detected in muscle and skin tissues shortly after administration. The concentrations were generally highest in skin tissue.  相似文献

A method was developed for the determination of the nitroimidazole compounds dimetridazole (DMZ) and ronidazole (RNZ) and their common metabolite, 2-hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (2-OH-M). Extracts obtained from a clean-up process using strong cation exchange (SCX) solid phase extraction (SPE) can be analysed either by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV) or by high performance liquid chromatography with atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry (HPLC-APCI-MS) as a confirmatory method. Up to 20 samples can be extracted in approximately 4 h. The HPLC-UV analysis had a limit of detection of 0.5 microgram kg-1. Validation in chicken muscle fortified at a concentration of 5 micrograms kg-1 gave recoveries of 75% DMZ, 77% RNZ and 81% 2-OH-M with RSDs of 16.4, 11.3 and 14.0%, respectively (n = 17). Validation in egg fortified at the same concentration gave recoveries of 77% DMZ, 80% RNZ and 80% 2-OH-M, with RSDs of 14.9, 22.0 and 18.2%, respectively (n = 18). The limit of detection of the HPLC-APCI-MS method was 0.1 microgram kg-1 for DMZ and RNZ and 0.5 microgram kg-1 for 2-OH-M. This method gave mean recoveries in fortified egg samples of 65% DMZ, 87% RNZ and 75% 2-OH-M with RSDs of 22, 11 and 14%, respectively (n = 10). The ratios of the peak areas of the molecular ion and a fragment ion were monitored as added confirmation of the presence of the analyte. Both the HPLC-UV screening procedure and the HPLC-APCI-MS confirmatory method have subsequently been used for the analysis of several hundred samples as part of UK surveillance programmes.  相似文献

A direct method for silicon determination in milk samples by Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry was developed. Palladium was used as chemical modifier at a concentration of 610 mg L(-1); with this modifier, silicon was stable up to 1800 degrees C. The precision and accuracy of the method were investigated. The detection limit was 16.2, 2.7 and 7.2 micro g L(-1) for cows' milk, human milk and infant formula, respectively. The method was applied to silicon determination in 17 infant formula samples, 13 human milk samples and 12 cows' milk samples.  相似文献

Furazolidone is a broad‐spectrum antibiotic that is frequently used in aquaculture on account of its excellent antibacterial properties. In this study, both the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and high‐performance liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) methods were used to analyze the content of residual 3‐amino‐2‐oxazolidinone (AOZ), a metabolite of furazolidone in Tilapia tissue. Homogenized fish samples were spiked with various amounts of AOZ, and following combined acid‐hydrolysis and derivatization of the homogenized tissue with 2‐NBA (2‐nitrobenzaldehyde), sample clean‐up was performed and the derived 2‐nitrophenylmethylene‐3‐amino‐2‐oxazolidinone (NPAOZ) was analyzed. Using the LC‐MS/MS method, a linear correlation between measured concentration Y and spiked concentration × was observed: Y = 0.4518X ? 0.0166, R2 = 0.9972. The linear equation for the ELISA method was Y = 0.9322X + 0.5168, R2 = 0.9066. These results demonstrated that the ELISA method might overestimate the residual AOZ content at low concentrations. The detection limit and recovery of the known addition were 0.05 μg kg?1a and 108% for the LC‐MS/MS method and 0.31 μg kg?1 and 305% for the ELISA method, respectively.  相似文献

Non-ionic polyethoxylated surfactants (nonylphenol polyethoxylates, alcohol polyethoxylates), their breakdown products (polyethylene glycol, polyethoxylated nonylphenol carboxylates and polyethoxylated alcohol carboxylates) and other compounds were identified and measured in various waste-water treatment samples (influent, effluent and sludge). A generic protocol involving the use of sequential solid-phase extraction (SSPE) with octadecylsilica and styrene-divinylbenzene cartridges in series and differential elution was used. Fractionated extracts were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) in the positive and negative ionization modes. For sewage treatment plant (STP) sludge, the extraction protocol involved lyophilization of the sludge followed by sonication with MeOH-CH2Cl2 (7 + 3) and final clean-up using the SSPE protocol. Limits of detection for target analytes ranging from 1.1 to 4.1 micrograms L-1 for water samples and from 0.11 to 0.28 mg kg-1 for sludge were achieved. The results obtained demonstrated the inefficient removal of the target analytes in physico-chemical STPs whereas their elimination factors in STPs with biological treatment reached average values of 77, 92 and 98% for alcohol polyethoxylates, nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPEOs) and polyethylene glycols (PEGs), respectively. Quantitative elimination of coconut fatty acid diethanolamide (CDEA) surfactants in the activated sludge process occurred. In contrast, total removal of NPEOs led to the formation of persistent and toxic metabolites such as nonylphenol which was present in treated effluent as well as in sludge samples with average concentrations ranging from 15.0 to 251.2 micrograms L-1 and from 13.5 to 74.2 mg kg-1, respectively. Polyethoxylated carboxylates and short chain NPEOs were also detected at similar levels in the effluents and sludges. In addition, a linear correlation between the total phenolic concentration (Total Ph) measured by the 4-aminoantipyrine method and the total concentration of nonylphenolic compounds (Total NP) measured by SSPE-LC-APCI-MS was observed.  相似文献

Spectinomycin-contaminated bovine milk samples were assayed by liquid chromatographic (LC) and microbial receptor methods. LC involved a newly developed analytical method to quantitate the concentration of spectinomycin in the contaminated milk samples. The receptor assay used reagents and the reaction system used for the Charm II spectinomycin assay. Three standard curves (selected range, full range, and second-order polynomial) were plotted for the receptor assay and used to quantitate spectinomycin in contaminated milk samples. The levels of spectinomycin obtained by the receptor assay, using only the standard curve in the selected range, were comparable to the results obtained by LC analysis.  相似文献

Cadmium accumulates in proximal tubule cells causing a gradient of cadmium through the kidney, which is important to consider when sampling kidney tissue for cadmium analysis. In this study different sampling techniques of cattle and pig kidneys have been tested. Cadmium was determined by dry ashing-FAAS (detection limit 6.0 micrograms l-1, BCR (Community Bureau of Reference) No. 186 3.1 +/- 0.17 mg kg-1 (mean +/- s), laboratory quality sample (LQS) 495 +/- 17 micrograms kg-1) and microwave digestion-graphite furnace AAS (detection limit 0.24 microgram l-1, BCR No. 186 2.7 +/- 0.16 mg kg-1, LQS 444 +/- 14 micrograms kg-1) in homogenates, slices, and in cortex, intermediate and medulla zones of bovine and porcine kidneys. The bovine kidney lobulus cortex, intermediate zone, and medulla contained 70, 28 and 2% of the total cadmium content, and the relative weights of the zones were 53, 35 and 12%, respectively. The cadmium concentration in bovine cortex, intermediate zone and medulla was 1.37 +/- 7, 0.79 +/- 0.06 and 0.10 +/- 0.06 times the calculated homogenate concentration. Pig renal cortex, intermediate zone and medulla, contained 73, 26 and 0.5% respectively of the total cadmium content, and the relative weights were 63, 36 and 2.4%, respectively. The cadmium concentration in porcine cortex, intermediate zone and medulla was 1.14 +/- 0.05, 0.78 +/- 0.09 and 0.23 +/- 0.11 times the calculated homogenate concentration. Freezing of pig kidney caused a slight redistribution of cadmium from cortex to medulla. The results show that sampling technique is of greater importance for the determination of cadmium in bovine kidney than in pig kidney. A well described method for sampling of kidney is necessary to make it possible to compare results. To detect small differences in renal Cd levels between groups, as, e.g., in the case of biological monitoring of Cd exposure, sampling of the outer cortex is suggested as an optimal method.  相似文献
