High-throughput screening of 756 chemical contaminants in aquaculture products using liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: A high-throughput screening method embracing 756 multiclass chemical contaminants in aquaculture products was developed using modified QuEChERS extraction coupled with liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A mega-database with retention time/accurate mass data for 524 pesticides, 182 veterinary drugs, 32 persistent organic pollutants and 18 marine toxins was established for compound identification via retrospective library searching. In the four representative matrices (muscle tissues of tilapia and grouper, and edible portions of oyster and scallop), all the database compounds showed acceptable recovery and repeatability with the screening detection limit and limit of quantification below 0.01 mg/kg for >90% of them. The matrix-matched calibration revealed acc
