Abstract:

Residues of 7 tetracyclines were extracted with 0.1mol/L EDTA-McIlvaine buffer solution (pH 3.8) from bovine milk, pretreated with 50% trichloroacetic acid solution, and then subjected to cleanup with HLB solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. The analysis of 7 tetracyclines residues was conducted by reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatograph on a sunfireTM C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm i.d) with methanol - acetonitrile - 0.01 mol/L oxalic acid solution as a mobile phase (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The results showed that the method presented a wide-range high-linearity for analyzing these tetracyclines. The peak area was positively correlated with sample solution concentration in the range of 0.05 - 1.0 μg/ml. The average recovery was 78.66% - 106% and the lowest detection limit was 0.02 μg/ml. The method is sensitive, reliable and easy-operating, and can be used for simultaneous determination of 7 tetracyclines residues in bovine milk within 14 minutes.
