Determination of chloramphenicol residues in meat, seafood, egg, honey, milk, plasma and urine with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry, and the validation of the method based on 2002/657/EC

A simple and rapid method for the determination and confirmation of chloramphenicol in several food matrices with LC-MS/MS was developed. Following addition of d5-chloramphenicol as internal standard, meat, seafood, egg, honey and milk samples were extracted with acetonitrile. Chloroform was then…
