Sensitive Determination of Sedatives and Anesthetics in Aquaculture Products by LC-MS/MS Utilizing Online Turbulent Flow Chromatography
摘要
An online turbulent flow chromatography-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (online TFC-LC-MS/MS) method was created to quantify 14 sedatives and anesthetics residues in aquaculture products. Sample preparation, including extraction with acetonitrile with 1% ammonium hydroxide solution (v/v), concentration, and filtration, was followed by online TFC cleanup. The developed method was validated in accordance with the guidelines of SANTE/11312/2021. The matrix-match calibration standard curves developed for quantitative analysis had linear regression coefficients (R2) higher than 0.9944. The LODs and LOQs of sedatives and anesthetics in aquaculture products ranged from 0.02 to 0.03 µg/kg and 0.05 to 0.10 µg/kg, respectively. The recovery rates at various spiking levels ranged from 79.4% to 119.5%. Both intra-day and inter-day RSDs were lower than 19.3%. Method accuracy was further verified using certified reference materials. These results indicate that the established approach is a sensitive, rapid, reliable, and promising tool for monitoring sedative and anesthetic residues in aquaculture products.
