Method validation was performed according to the recommendations of the international agencies European Community and IUPAC, and the following parameters were evaluated: analytical curve, linearity, sensitivity, precision (intra- and inter-day repeatability), accuracy, and the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). Simple sample preparation was followed by the LC-APCI-MS-MS analysis. The method presented adequate linearity with correlation coefficients above 0.99 for both analytes in the dynamic range of 50-400 microg/kg, and average accuracies between 84-110%. The LOD and LOQ were, respectively, 25 microg/kg and 50 microg/kg for both analytes. Method selectivity was verified by the absence of interfering peaks in the retention regions of the analytes and the internal standard when a blank sample was tested. The results qualified the method for the quantification and confirmation of the analytes in milk at concentrations inferior to the established maximum residue limits (200 microg/kg). | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
