A multiclass method has been developed for the determination and confirmation in honey of tetracyclines (chlortetracycline, doxycycline, oxytetracycline, and tetracycline), fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, difloxacin, enrofloxacin, and sarafloxacin), macrolides (tylosin), lincosamides (lincomycin), aminoglycosides (streptomycin), sulfonamides (sulfathiazole), phenicols (chloramphenic
your morning tea contains chromium, which may cause cancer and skin diseases. The heavy metal gets into the leaves when tea leaves are processed using the
A method making use of turbulent flow chromatography automated online extraction with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was developed for the analysis of 4 quinolones and 12 fluoroquinolones in honey. The manual sample preparation was limited to a simple dilution of the honey test portion in water followed by a filtration.
Azoxystrobin residue was determined in mango fruits using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Residues of azoxystrobin were extracted with acetonitrile and purified by both liquid liquid extraction (LLE) and solid phase extraction (SPE) clean up. The HPLC analysis was carried out on ODS2 column with acetonitrile: water (80:20 v/v) as the mobile phase with UV
A multi-screening approach for monitoring potential chemical contaminants in honey by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) has been developed.
