Abstract
Antibiotic residues in food pose a major threat to the health of humans and animals worldwide. Their trace-level analysis is still too time- and cost-intensive to be adequately covered in routine analysis. Thus, a new high-throughput planar solid-phase extraction method has been developed for rapid screening of 66 antibiotics. Via simple clicks on the image, the autoTLC-MS interface automatically eluted the target analyte zones directly into an orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometer operated in the variable data-independent acquisition mode. Muscle tissue, cow milk and chicken eggs were analyzed regarding nine different antibiotic classes, including sulfonamides, diaminopyrimidines, lincosamides, pleuromutilins, macrolides, cephalosporins, penicillins, amphenicols and nitroimidazoles. The planar clean-up took 7 min per sample, which is 5-fold faster than the routine state-of-the-art. The screening method has been validated for one representative of each class according to the European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. Most analytes were successfully detected at half of their required maximum residue limit.
