Rapid identification of antibiotic residues in bovine kidney using coated blade spray-mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: The use of certain antibiotics in food-producing animals is allowed in Europe following Regulation (EU) 2017/625. However, use could result in antibiotic residues in foodstuffs of animal origin. Maximum residue limits (MRLs) are in place to protect consumers. For monitoring purposes, animal matrices are tested to verify their compliance with these MRLs. Initially, matrices of (slaughtered) food animals are screened, often using a microbiological assay. Faster screening tests for antibiotics would be an advantage for control laboratories. Therefore, the present study describes, for the first time, the use of coated blade spray (CBS) followed by direct mass spectrometry (MS) analysis for the screening of tetracyclines, sulfonamides, quinolones, and macrolides residues from the renal area of
