This study examines the behaviour of volatile perfluorinated carboxylic acids used as ion-pairing reagents for the separation of multiclass antimicrobial residues in honey (tetracyclines, sulphonamides, macrolides, and aminoglycosides). Heptafluorobutanoic acid and pentafluoropentanoic acid were compared as mobile phase additives at concentrations of 0-20 mmol.L-1 using reversed-phase chromatography. Our objective was to find optimal conditions that enable the separation of antimicrobials with a minimum loss in sensitivity and efficiency. The influence of ion pairing on chromatographic performance was examined. Results showed that heptafluorobutanoic acid was able to separate aminoglycosides faster and more efficiently than pentafluoropentanoic acid, but at low concentrations of heptafluorobutanoic acid between 2.5 and 5 mM, tetracyclines showed poor chromatographic efficiency. A concentration of 10 mM was found to be optimal for all studied veterinary drugs. The method was then applied to determine multiclass antimicrobial residues in honey. Based on validation data, the mean recoveries of analytes ranged between 93% and 104%, and the intermediate precisions were <21%. The decision limit (CCα) and detection capability (CCβ) were in the ranges of 5-25 and 7-33 μg kg-1, respectively. The method was found to be suitable for use in analysis of veterinary drugs with a broader group of compounds found in food-producing animals.

D005466 Fluorocarbons Liquid perfluorinated carbon compounds which may or may not contain a hetero atom such as nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, but do not contain another halogen or hydrogen atom. This concept includes fluorocarbon emulsions, and fluorocarbon blood substitutes. Perfluorinated and related polyfluorinated chemicals are referred to as PFAS and are defined as chemicals with at least two adjacent carbon atoms, where one carbon is fully fluorinated and the other is at least partially fluorinated.

D006722 Honey A sweet viscous liquid food, produced in the honey sacs of various bees from nectar collected from flowers. The nectar is ripened into honey by inversion of its sucrose sugar into fructose and glucose. It is somewhat acidic and has mild antiseptic properties, being sometimes used in the treatment of burns and lacerations. Honeys

D053719 Tandem Mass Spectrometry A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection.
