Column liquid chromatography with fluorescence (FLD) and UV-diode array detection (UV-DAD) was used for the simultaneous determination of ciprofloxacin (CIPRO), enrofloxacin (ENRO), marbofloxacin (MARBO), danofloxacin (DANO) and sarafloxacin (SARA) residues in milk, using norfloxacin (NOR) as internal standard. Two solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges, were evaluated for sample clean-up and preconcentration, Strata X, based on a modified styrene-divinylbenzene polymer, and Strata Screen A, a mixed anion exchanger/C-8 reversed-phase sorbent. The fluoroquinolones (FQs) were separated on a polar endcapped column (AQUA(TM) C-18). The recoveries for raw milk spiked with the antibiotics at three concentrations close to the maximum residue limit (MRL), were 80-103% for ENRO, CIPRO and DANO, with relative standard deviations (R.S.D.) lower than 6.6%. SARA recoveries were 70% (R.S.D. = 7%) and values in the order of 95% (R.S.D. = 1.5%) were obtained for MARBO at the MRL level. The quantification limits ranged from 2.4 to 10 ng ml(-1) and are below the MRL established for these drugs by the European Union. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of ENRO and its metabolite CIPRO in an incurred milk sample. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
