Matrix solid-phase dispersion extraction of carbadox and olaquindox in feed followed by hydrophilic interaction ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatographic analysis.

A new method involving matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction and hydrophilic interaction ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography (HILIC-UHPLC) with photodiode array detection was developed for the determination of carbadox and olaquindox in feed. Separation of carbadox and olaquindox was achieved within 1 min on the 1.7 microm Acquity UPLC BEH HILIC column by using isocratic elution with a mobile phase consisting of 10 mmol L(-1) ammonium acetate in acetonitrile-water (95:5, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.
