Ultrasound-assisted matrix solid phase dispersive extraction for the simultaneous analysis of β-lactams (four penicillins and eight cephalosporins) in milk by high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection.

The application of ultrasound-assisted matrix solid phase dispersive extraction for the confirmatory analysis of 12 β-lactam antibiotics in milk by high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection has been proposed herein. Four penicillins (cloxacillin, dicloxacillin, oxacillin, and amoxicillin) and eight cephalosporins (cefaclor, cefadroxil, ceftiofur, cefuroxime, cefoperazone, cefazolin, cephalexin, and cefotaxime) are effectively extracted using a mixed sorbent of Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged Safe technique and OASIS HLB providing a matrix free from any endogenous interference. Examined analytes were well resolved on an Inertsil ODS-3 analytical column with a mobile phase of CH(3)COONH(4) (0.

Development and validation according to European Union Decision 2002/657/EC of an HPLC-DAD method for milk multi-residue analysis of penicillins and amphenicols based on dispersive extraction by QuEChERS in MSPD format.

A precise and reliable method for milk residue analysis regarding five penicillins and three amphenicols by HPLC-diode array detection has been developed herein. The chromatographic separation was performed using a mobile phase of CH3 COONH4 (0.05 M) and ACN delivered by gradient program on a Kinetex(™) -C18 core-shell, 2.

On the use of Kinetex(™) -C(18) core-shell 2.6 µm stationary phase to the multiclass determination of antibiotics.

Fast and accurate analysis is a prerequisite in all analytical fields especially in food, biological, pharmaceutical, and environmental samples. The new trend of ultra performance liquid chromatography (LC) has the main drawback of expensive instrumentation, which can't be easily found in low-budget analytical laboratories. The evolution of core shell technology has contributed to this direction, since ultra high efficiency can be achieved on common LC instrument platforms.

An overview of the use of monoliths in sample preparation and analysis of milk.

Monolithic columns with a unique structure possess some exceptional characteristics, which make them an excellent tool in the hands of analytical chemists, not only for separation but also for sample preparation. Their much higher external porosity compared to conventional particle-packed columns results in higher permeability and low-pressure drop with higher separation efficiency. Till now, monolithic columns have been applied to the analysis of different analytical matrices: pharmaceuticals, biofluids, food matrices, environmental samples, biochemical species, proteomics, etc.

Application of ultrasound-assisted matrix solid-phase dispersion extraction to the HPLC confirmatory determination of cephalosporin residues in milk.

Ultrasound-assisted matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) was applied to isolate eight cephalosporins (cefadroxil, cefaclor, cephalexin, cefotaxime, cefazolin, cefuroxime, cefoperazone and ceftiofur) from milk. Multi-residue analysis was subsequently performed by HPLC-diode array detection. Extraction yield by matrix solid-phase dispersion using Nexus sorbent was higher than various investigated SPE protocols.
