Sensitive and Fast Measurement of Aminoglycoside Antibiotics in Milk, Meat or Eggs by HILIC-MS/MS and Identi cation using MRM Spectrum Mode

Introduction Aminoglycoside are an family widely used for the commodities (e.g. in eggs) or have low MRL. treatment of bacterial in , sheep, pigs and So in the case of a positive sample, a strict identi cation of poultry. Due to their high af nity for tissues, the the compound is necessary to con dently report potential consumption of meat, milk or eggs containing fraud. (AGs) can be potentially hazardous for AGs are very polar compounds poorly retained by human health. Regulatory agencies have set maximum reversed-phase liquid chromatography and ion-pairing residue limits (MRL) for these compounds with veterinary reagents are not desirable when users share several use. Depending on the countries, the animal species, the methods on a single system. commodity or the AG, these MRL are different. For food Here we present a method using hydrophilic interaction safety laboratories testing large numbers of samples, a liquid chromatography (HILiC) with high sensitivity mass method capable to cover as many compounds, matrices spectrometer to reach limits of quanti cation at and regulated range as possible would be of great help. femtogram level on column, combined with MRM In addition, some AGs are strictly banned for some Spectrum Mode for formal identi cation.

Methods and Materials Sample Preparation Frozen meat samples were homogenized using a knife Further puri cation was then perfomed by Solid Phase mill (Grindomix GM200, Retsch). 5 g of homogenized Extraction (SPE) using mixed-mode sorbent (WCX Express sample or mixed eggs or 10 mL of milk were placed in a 96-well plate 30 mg, Biotage) and Extrahera automate polypropylene tube. After addition of 20 mL of extraction (Biotage). 1 mL of extract was loaded without prior solution (10 mM NH4OAc, 0.4mM EDTA, 0.5% NaCl, 2% conditioning. Then the sample was washed with 1 mL of trichloroacetic acid in water), sample were vortex mixed ammonium acetate buffer 50mM pH7. After sorbent and shaked for 10 min. After centrifugation for 10 min at drying, target compounds were eluted with 250 µL of 4000 rpm, the supernatant was transferred to a clean PP aqueous formic acid 10% (v/v). Puri ed extracts were tube. Extraction was repeated and supernatant combined. then diluted 25 times with aqueous formic acid 1% (v/v) Extract pH was then adjusted to pH 6.5 +/- 0.25. prior to transfer into a polypropylene vial and analysis.

Analytical Conditions Two methods were used. First method for fast column but with a longer gradient and 15 MRM per quantitative screening is using a fast gradient with two compound. Parameters are described parameters in Table MRM by compound. The second method for positive 1 and 2. sample con rmation, used same mobile phases and
