MacIntosh AI: Liquid chromatographic determination of cephapirin residues in milk. J Assoc Off Anal Chem. 1990 Nov-Dec;73(6):880-2.
A liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed for quantitative determination of cephapirin residues in milk that also resolved cephapirin from ampicillin, cloxacillin, and penicillin G. Diluted milk was passed through a C18 cartridge on which the cephapirin was adsorbed; then, interfering material was removed by washing with water and methylene chloride and cephapirin residues were eluted with methanol-acetonitrile (25 + 75). After drying, residues were dissolved in the mobile phase for injection. The LC system had an ultrasphere-ODS column with RP-18 Spheri-10 guard column and a UV detector with a 254 nm filter. The mobile phase was 85% sodium acetate (0.01M) and 15% methanol-acetonitrile (25 + 75) with a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Sensitivity was 20 ppb or less with a recovery of 61-80% in the range studied. Other beta-lactam antibiotics tested did not interfere with detection of cephapirin. Analysis of 30 samples of commercial homogenized milk obtained for a survey of antibiotics in consumer milk in Canada revealed no detectable cephapirin residues. |
