An LC-MS/MS method developed for simultaneous analysis of 54 veterinary drug residues of six families in pork meat samples, including sulfanilamide, nitroimidazoles, quinolones, macrolide antibiotics, lincosamides, and praziquantel. The pork meat sample was prepared by extraction with ACN, and clean-up on a C(18) SPE cartridge. The sample was separated on a C(8) column and eluted with ACN, methanol, and formic acid.

The honey samples were diluted by phosphate buffer solution (pH 8) followed by a further cleanup procedure with an Oasis (HLB) SPE column. The detection was carried out by LC-MS/ MS, using positive-ion electrospray ionization in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, with one precursor/two product ion transitions for each compound.

Activated carbon and HLB solid-phase extraction cartridges were used for cleaning up the extracts. Analysis is performed by LC-MS/MS operated in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, acquiring two specific precursor-product ion transitions per target compound.

They are broad spectrum antibiotics active against Gram-positive bacteria and mycoplasmas, as well as some Gram-negative organisms and members of the chlamydia group. Macrolides are a group of antibacterial compounds that have been widely used in medical and veterinary practices.
