Abstract
Abstract
A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for determination of ractopamine hydrochloride (LY031537) in swine and turkey tissues. Liver, kidney, muscle, and fat samples were homogenized in methanol. An aliquot of the extract was evaporated, diluted with water, and buffered to pH 10.5 ± 0.5 with sodium carbonate to convert ractopamine hydrochloride to a free base. The free base was extracted from the buffered sample with ethyl acetate. The extract was further purified on a Bond Elut acid-washed silica solid-phase extraction cartridge. After converting the free base back to the salt form with pH 4.5 buffer, analytical separation and quantitation of ractopamine hydrochloride was performed on an IBM C18 column with coulometric detection at +600 mV. The limit of detection of the method was approximately 0.5 ppb as determined in swine liver. Overall recovery levels ranged between 75 and 100% for samples of liver, kidney, muscle, and fat fortified at 1 to 100 ppb. The coefficients of variation ranged from 2 to 18% for samples fortified at 1 to 100 ppb.
