A simultaneous and fast analytical method was developed for the identification of fournitrofuran metabolites from the fish and shrimp samples. Homogenized samples were hydrolyzedand derivatized with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde. Subsequently, extracted with ethyl acetate, evaporatedto dryness and the residue was re-dissolved in Hexane. Commercial enzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was applied for the analysis of nitrofuran metabolites. Themethod was validated in shrimp and fish matrix according to the criteria defined in CommissionDecision 2002/657/EC for qualitative screening method following the guidelines set by thecommunity reference laboratories residues (CRLs) 2010. Characteristic’s parameters as detectioncapability (CC?), specificity/selectivity, stability, recovery and precision were determined.Detection capability (CC?) for nitrofuran metabolites (AMOZ, AOZ, AHD and SEM) in Fishand shrimp matrix was in the range of 0.5- 0.75?g/kg, which were less than the MinimumRequired Performance Limit (MRPL) of 1?g/kg set by European Union. The proposed method issuitable for semi-quantitative screening analysis of antibiotics in the fish and shrimp muscle inconformity with the current EU performance requirements before exporting to EU and othercountries. Results from analysis of unknown samples by the developed ELISA method werecomparable to those obtained by a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS) method. Accuracy and precision of the method had also been checked through participation of International Proficiency Testing (PT) having a very satisfactory performance score.

The objective of the study was to determine ochratoxin A (OTA) concentrations in serum and urine of pigs during 30-day OTA treatment. OTA was administered orally to the experimental group (n=5) at a dose of 0.78 mg per animal per day, whereas control animals (n=5) were left untreated. OTA concentrations were determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Method validation resulted in mean recoveries of 93-101% for serum and 98-106% for urine, with acceptable mean inter- and intraday relative standard deviations (<8% for urine and <7% for serum). The ELISA method can be effectively used as a simple screening method to determine OTA exposure in pigs during fattening. The maximum mean OTA concentration in serum was recorded on day 22 (8.75±2.93 ng/ml) and in urine on day 20 (43.56±35.76 ng/ml), indicating significant differences in OTA concentrations between these two matrices.

The method for the determination of primaquine (PQ) and 5,6-orthoquinone primaquine (5,6-PQ), the representative marker for PQ active metabolites, via CYP2D6 in human plasma and urine has been validated. All samples were extracted using acetonitrile for protein precipitation and analyzed using the ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) system. Chromatography separation was carried out using a Hypersil GOLDTM aQ C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, particle size 1.9 μm) with a C18 guard column (4 × 3 mm) flowed with an isocratic mode of methanol, water, and acetonitrile in an optimal ratio at 0.4 mL/min. The retention times of 5,6-PQ and PQ in plasma and urine were 0.8 and 1.6 min, respectively. The method was validated according to the guideline. The linearity of the analytes was in the range of 25–1500 ng/mL. The matrix effect of PQ and 5,6-PQ ranged from 100% to 116% and from 87% to 104% for plasma, and from 87% to 89% and from 86% to 87% for urine, respectively. The recovery of PQ and 5,6-PQ ranged from 78% to 95% and form 80% to 98% for plasma, and from 102% to from 112% to 97% to 109% for urine, respectively. The accuracy and precision of PQ and 5,6-PQ in plasma and urine were within the acceptance criteria. The samples should be kept in the freezer (−80 °C) and analyzed within 7 days due to the metabolite stability. This validated UHPLC-MS/MS method was beneficial for a pharmacokinetic study in subjects receiving PQ.

A simple, rapid method is described for the determination of lead in paint. Lead is extracted from paint chips, or liquid paint, into an acidic aqueous solution. Ten microliters of sample solution is transferred onto a platinum-rhodium wire loop, and the solvent is evaporated by placing the loop in a small resistance heater. The loop then is introduced into a premixed acetylene-air flame, and lead absorption at 283.3 nm is measured. Physical and chemical parameters affecting the accuracy and precision of the method are discussed. Accurate determinations of lead are possible for concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1 µg/10 µl of solution. The wire loop method is adaptable to a simple screening method for analysis of paints in mobile or on-site laboratories.

The HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein transmembrane subunit, gp41, mediates the fusion of viral and target cell membranes. The 2 helical regions in the ectodomain of gp41, the N-helix and the C-helix, form a helical bundle complex that has been suggested as a fusion-active conformation. Previously, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method had been established to measure the interaction of 2 helical regions of gp41. In this study, the ELISA method was modified to apply high-throughput screening (HTS) of an organic compound library. A few compounds had been identified to prevent the interaction between 2 helical regions of gp41, and they were further shown to inhibit the gp41-mediated viral infection. In addition, they specifically quenched the fluorescence of tryptophan in the N-helix region, indicating that these compounds bound to the N-helix rather than the C-helix of gp41. These results suggested that this assay method targeting gp41 could be used for HTS of HIV fusion inhibitors. ( Journal of Biomolecular Screening 2005:13-19)

Abstract A fast and reliable LC-MS/MS method for the determination of cyclamate in a variety of food matrices was developed and validated. This method provides both quantitation and qualitative mass spectral determination important for analysis of regulatory samples. Utilization of a cyclamate-d11 internal standard corrects for potential matrix interferences during sample injection and allows minimal sample preparation. Seventeen commercially available food products were fortified at 250 μg/mL and tested as part of the method validation. Recoveries ranged from 72 to 110%, with RSDs ranging from 3 to 15%. The linear range spanned 0.010–1.00 μg/mL. LODs were 0.1 and 0.6 ng/mL, determined in pomegranate juice and dried fig, respectively. LOQs were 0.3 and 1.6 ng/mL, which are significantly lower than needed to measure cyclamate when used as a food additive. The interday and intraday accuracy and precision data are presented. This method was validated for analysis of a variety of commonly adulterated products, including drinks, dried fruits, jams, and hard candies.

Introduction. Amphenicols are a group of chemical compounds with antibacterial activity, including chloramphenicol (HAF), thiamphenicol (TAF), florfenicol (FF) and their derivatives. Florfenicol (FF) is a synthetic antimicrobial agent with a broad spectrum of action and is one of the most commonly used drugs in poultry, and was developed specifically for veterinary medicine. Given the wide range of activity of florfenicol, the high therapeutic effect combined with low toxicity makes it important for use in animal husbandry. The known method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) differs favorably from other screening methods by high sensitivity, specificity, simplicity and speed of performance, availability and stability of reagents, the ability to computer processing of measurement results and automation of test steps, which provides high test efficiency. The aim of the work. To validate the method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to determine the residues of florfenicol in the samples of months of different species of animals (cattle, pigs, chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits) and fish. Materials and methods. The research was conducted on the basis of the State Research Institute for Laboratory Diagnostics and Veterinary Sanitary Expertise. The material for the study was a solution of florfenicol with a concentration of 1 mg/liter. Results of research and discussion. It was found that the highest value (highest response) for control samples is 0.24 μg/kg and the lowest value for enriched samples (lowest response) - 3.62 μg/kg. According to the obtained results, none of the answers for the enriched samples coincides with the range of answers for the control samples. It follows that the detection ability (CCβ) for this screening method reduces or decreases 5.0 μg/kg The cut-off rate of this test is 3.62 μg/kg. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Validation characteristics have been established for the determination of florfenicol residues in muscle samples, such as: detection ability (CCβ) is 5.0 μg/kg, cut-off level is 3.62 μg/kg. The lowest content of florfenicol that can be determined is 0.2 μg/kg. The percentage of return for enriched samples of both groups is 93 %, which corresponds to the specified production.
