Simultaneous determination of multi-residue and multi-class antibiotics in aquaculture shrimps by UPLC-MS/MS.

An accurate, reliable and fast multi-residue, multi-class method using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for simultaneous determination and quantification of 24 pharmacologically active substances of three different classes (Quinolones including fluoroquinolones, sulphonamides and tetracyclines) in aquaculture shrimps. Sample preparation involves extraction with acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid and followed by clean up with n-hexane and 0.

Determination and Uncertainty Analysis of Inorganic Arsenic in Husked Rice by Solid Phase Extraction and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry with Hydride Generation.

This study enables the selective determination of inorganic arsenic (iAs) with a low detection limit using an economical instrument [atomic absorption spectrometer with hydride generation (HG)] to meet the regulatory requirements as per European Commission (EC) and Codex guidelines. Dry rice samples (0.5 g) were diluted using 0.
