Simple assay for analyzing five microcystins and nodularin in fish muscle tissue: hot water extraction followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A simple, specific, and sensitive procedure for determining six cyanotoxins, that is, microcystins RR, LR, YR, LA, and LW and nodularin, in fish muscle tissue is presented. This method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique with heated water as extractant followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS) equipped with an electrospray ion source. Target compounds were extracted from tissue by 4 mL of water acidified to pH 2 and heated at 80 degrees C. After acidification and filtration, 0.2 mL of the aqueous extract was injected in the LC column. MS data acquisition was performed in the multireaction monitoring mode, with at least two precursor ion > product ion transitions selected for each target compound. Analyte recovery ranged between 61 and 82% and was not substantially affected by either the analyte concentrations or the type of fish. The nonexcellent recovery of some of the microcystins was traced to binding of these compounds to protein phosphatases in fish tissue occurring during sample treatment. The existence of covalently bound microcystins in fish has been evidenced by several studies. Compared to an older sample preparation procedure, this one extracted larger amounts of the analytes in a simpler and much more rapid way. On the basis of a signal-to-noise ratio of 10, limits of quantification were estimated to range between 1.6 and 4.0 ng/g. The effects of temperature and volume of the extractant on the analyte recovery were studied.     

A simple and rapid assay for analyzing residues of carbamate insecticides in vegetables and fruits: hot water extraction followed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

A simple, specific, and rapid analytical method for determining seven largely used carbamate insecticides in tomato, spinach, lettuce, zucchini, pear, and apple is here presented. This method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique, with heated water as extractant followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) equipped with a single quadrupole and an electrospray ion source. Target compounds were extracted from the vegetal matrixes by water heated at 50 degrees C. After acidification and filtration, 0.25 mL of any aqueous extract was injected in the LC column. MS data acquisition was performed in the selected ion monitoring mode, selecting three ions for each target compound. Heated water appeared to be an excellent extractant because recovery data ranged between 76 (carbaryl in spinach) and 99% (pirimicarb in spinach), with RSDs not larger than 10%. Using trimethacarb (an obsolete carbamate insecticide) as a surrogate internal standard, the accuracy of the analysis varied between 84 and 110%, with RSDs not larger than 9%. On the basis of a signal-to-noise ratio of 10, limits of quantification were estimated to range between 2 (pirimicarb) and 10 ppb (oxamyl) and were not influenced by the type of matrix. When trying to fractionate analytes by using a short chromatographic run time, marked weakening of the ion signals for oxamyl, methomyl, and aldicarb were observed. This effect was traced to polar endogenous co-extractives eluted in the first part of the chromatographic run that interfered with gas-phase ion formation for carbamates. Adopting more selective chromatographic conditions eliminated this effect.     

Simple and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry confirmatory assay for determining amoxicillin and ampicillin in bovine tissues and milk

A simple specific and rapid confirmatory method for determining the two amphoteric penicillins, that is, amoxicillin and ampicillin, in bovine muscle, liver, kidney, and milk is presented. This method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique with hot water as extractant followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry. With this instrumentation, the selected reaction monitoring acquisition mode with two fragmentation reactions for each analyte was adopted. After acidification and filtration of the aqueous extracts, 25 microL of the tissue final extracts and 50 microL of the milk final extract were injected into the LC apparatus. Absolute recovery of the two analytes in any biological matrix at the 50 ppb level in tissues and the 4 ppb level in milk was 74-95% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of no larger than 9%. When penicillin V was used as surrogate internal standard, relative recovery of the targeted compounds present in bovine tissues and milk at, respectively, 25 and 2 ppb levels ranged between 100 and 106% with RSDs of no larger than 11%. When fractionation of analytes by using a short chromatographic run was attempted, remarkable signal weakening for the two analytes was experienced. This effect was traced to polar endogenous coextractives eluted in the first part of the chromatographic run that interfered with the gas-phase ion formation of the two penicillins. Slowing the chromatographic run eliminated this unwelcome effect. Limits of quantification of the two analytes in bovine milk were estimated to be <1 ppb, whereas amoxicillin and ampicillin could be quantified in bovine tissues down to 3.1 and 0.8 ppb levels, respectively.     

Evaluation of a method for assaying sulfonamide antimicrobial residues in cheese: hot-water extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

Several sulfonamide antimicrobials (SAAs) are largely used in veterinary medicine. A rapid, specific, and sensitive procedure for determining 12 SAAs in cheese is presented. The method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS) equipped with an electrospray ion source. Target compounds were extracted from Mozzarella, Asiago, Parmigiano, Emmenthal, and Camembert cheese samples by 6 mL of water modified with 10% methanol and heated at 120 degrees C. The addition of methanol to hot water served to improve remarkably extraction yields of the most lipophilic SAAs, that is, sulfadimethoxine and sulfaquinoxaline. After acidification and filtration, 100 microL of the aqueous extract was injected in the LC column. MS data acquisition was performed in the multireaction monitoring mode, selecting two precursor-to-product ion transitions for each target compound. Methanol-modified hot water appeared to be an efficient extractant, because absolute recovery ranged between 67 and 88%. Using sulfamoxole as surrogate analyte, recovery of the 12 analytes spiked in the five types of cheese considered at the 50 ng/g level ranged between 75 and 105% with RSD not higher than 11%. Statistical analysis of the mean recovery data showed that the extraction efficiency was not affected by the type of cheese analyzed. This result indicates this method could be applied to other cheese types not considered here. The accuracy of the method was determined at three spike levels, that is, 20, 50, and 100 ng/g, and varied between 73 and 102% with relative standard deviations ranging between 4 and 12%. On the basis of a signal-to-noise ratio of 10, limits of quantification were estimated to be <1 ng/g.     

Rapid confirmatory assay for determining 12 sulfonamide antimicrobials in milk and eggs by matrix solid-phase dispersion and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

A rapid confirmatory method for determining 12 sulfonamide (SAs) antibacterials in whole milk and eggs is presented. This method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique with hot water as extractant followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS). The LC-MS instrument was equipped with an electrospray ion source and a single quadrupole. After 4 mL of a milk sample containing the analytes had been deposited on sand (crystobalite), this material was packed into an extraction cell. SAs were extracted by flowing 4 mL of water through the cell heated at 75 degrees C. With some modifications, this procedure was applied also to eggs. After pH adjustment and filtration, 0.5 mL of the final extracts was then injected into the LC column. MS data acquisition was performed in the positive-ion mode and by monitoring at least three ions for each target compound. The in-source collision-induced dissociation process produced confirmatory ions. At the 50 ng/g level, recovery of the analytes in milk and eggs was 77-92% with relative standard deviations ranging between 1 and 11%. Estimated limits of quantification (S/N = 10) were 1-3 ng/g of SAs in milk and 2-6 ng/g in eggs. With both matrices, attempts to reduce the analysis time by using a short chromatographic run time caused severe ion signal suppression for the early-eluted SAs. This effect was traced to competition effects by polar endogenous coextractives, maybe proteinaceous species, which are eluted in the first part of the chromatographic run. This unwelcome effect was almost completely removed by simply adopting more selective chromatographic conditions.     

Determination of neomycin in animal tissues, using ion-pair liquid chromatography with fluorometric detection

A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for the determination of neomycin in animal tissues. Tissues are homogenized in 0.2M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 8.0); the homogenate is centrifuged, and the supernate is heated to precipitate the protein. The heat-deproteinated extract is acidified to pH 3.5-4 and directly analyzed by LC. The LC method consists of an ion-pairing mobile phase, a reverse phase ODS column, post-column derivatization with o-phthalaldehyde reagent, and fluorometric detection. The LC method uses paromomycin as an internal standard, and separates neomycin from streptomycin or dihydrostreptomycin because they have different retention times. The LC column separates neomycin in 25 min; the detection limit is about 3.5 ng neomycin. The overall recovery of neomycin from kidney tissues spiked at 1-30 ppm was 96% with a 9.0% coefficient of variation. The method was also applied to muscle tissue.     

Determination of organic acids in tissues and exudates of maize, lupin, and chickpea by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

This article describes a fast and simple methodology for the extraction and determination of organic acids in tissues and root exudates of maize, lupin, and chickpea by LC/MS/MS. Its main advantage is that it does not require sample prepurification before HPLC analysis or sample derivatization to improve sensibility. The results obtained showed good precision and accuracy, a recovery close to 100%, and no significant matrix effect. Moreover, the sensibility of the method is in general better than that of previously described methodologies, with detection limits between 15 and 900 pg injected.     

Determination of oryzalin in water, citrus fruits, and stone fruits by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry

A new methodology is described for rapidly determining the herbicide oryzalin in water, citrus fruits, and stone fruits by liquid chromatography with negative ion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Oryzalin is extracted from water using a polymeric sorbent solid phase extraction (SPE) column and from fruit using methanol. The water samples require no further purification, but an aliquot of the fruit sample extracts is diluted with water and purified using a polymeric 96 well SPE plate. Purified extracts are concentrated prior to determination by LC/MS/MS at m/z 345 (Q1) and m/z 281 (Q3) using an external standard for calibration. The validated limits of quantitation were 0.05 microg/L in water (drinking water, surface water, and groundwater) and 0.01 microg/g in citrus fruits (oranges and lemons) and stone fruits (peaches and cherries). Recoveries averaged 102% for water samples and 85-89% for the various types of fruit samples. For all fortification levels combined, the relative standard deviations ranged from 4 to 6% for water and from 2 to 4% for fruit.     

Quantitative high-throughput analysis of 16 (fluoro)quinolones in honey using automated extraction by turbulent flow chromatography coupled to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A method making use of turbulent flow chromatography automated online extraction with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was developed for the analysis of 4 quinolones and 12 fluoroquinolones in honey. The manual sample preparation was limited to a simple dilution of the honey test portion in water followed by a filtration. The extract was online purified on a large particle size extraction column where the sample matrix was washed away while the analytes were retained. Subsequently, the analytes were eluted from the extraction column onto an analytical column by means of an organic solvent prior to chromatographic separation and MS detection. Validation was performed at three fortification levels (i.e., 5, 20, and 50 microg/kg) in three different honeys (acacia, multiflower, and forest) using the single-point calibration procedure by means of either a 10 or 25 microg/kg calibrant. Good recovery (85-127%, median 101%) as well as within-day (2-18%, median 6%) and between-day (2-42%, median 9%) precision values was obtained whatever the level of fortification and the analyte surveyed. Due to the complexity of the honey matrix and the large variation of the MS/MS transition reaction signals, which were honey-dependent, the limit of quantification for all compounds was arbitrarily set at the lowest fortification level considered during the validation, e.g., 5 microg/kg. This method has been successfully applied in a minisurvey of 34 honeys, showing ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin as the main (fluoro)quinolone antibiotics administered to treat bacterial diseases of bees. Turbulent flow chromatography coupled to LC-MS/MS showed a strong potential as an alternative method compared to those making use of offline sample preparation, in terms of both increasing the analysis throughput and obtaining higher reproducibility linked to automation to ensure the absence of contaminants in honey samples.     

Matrix effects in analysis of β-agonists with LC-MS/MS: influence of analyte concentration, sample source, and SPE type

The synergistic influences of analyte concentration, sample source, and solid-phase extraction (SPE) type on matrix effects in the multiresidue analyses of eight β-agonists with LC-ESI-MS/MS were evaluated. Porcine muscle and liver extracts and urine from diverse sources were purified by strong or mixed-mode cation exchange and molecularly imprinted polymer SPE cartridges, respectively. Three spiked concentrations (2, 10, and 20 ng/mL) of eight β-agonists in the purified matrices and the different sample sources were analyzed. The results show that for most β-agonists there are significant differences in matrix effects between analyte concentrations or sample sources (P < 0.05), whereas there is no significant difference in matrix effects between different SPE cartridges (P > 0.05). Results from main effects testing indicated that analyte concentration was the main effector.     

Determination of pesticides in apple-based infant foods using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

A liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) method was developed and validated to quantify and confirm trace levels of 13 pesticides including aldicarb sulfoxide, aldicarb sulfone, oxamyl, methomyl, formetanate, 3-hydroxycarbofuran, carbendazim, thiabendazole, aldicarb, propoxur, carbofuran, carbaryl, and methiocarb in apple-based infant foods such as apple sauces, apples and strawberries, apples and blueberries, and apples and plums. Data acquisition under MS/MS was achieved by applying multiple reaction monitoring of two fragment ion transitions to provide a high degree of sensitivity and selectivity for both quantification and confirmation. LC/ESI-MS/MS quantitative results were significantly affected by matrices, and thus, the standard addition was employed to compensate for the matrix effects to achieve the best accuracy of the method. Recoveries of 13 pesticides, spiked at 5.0, 25.0, and 45.0 microg/kg, were around 100% using the LC/ESI-MS/MS standard addition. The method detection limits (S/N > or = 3:1) of 13 pesticides were less than 0.2 microg/kg.     

Liquid chromatographic determination of carbadox, desoxycarbadox, and nitrofurazones in pork tissues

A liquid chromatographic (LC) method has been developed for the determination of carbadox, desoxycarbadox, and nitrofurazones in the 10-40 ppb range in pork muscle, liver, and kidney tissues. Tissues were homogenized in absolute ethanol, and the homogenates were treated with metaphosphoric acid and reduced in volume by rotovaporization. Hexane was added to the concentrates, which were then centrifuged to remove fat. After addition of KH2PO4 to the aqueous phase and extraction with ethyl acetate, the extracts were passed through alumina columns before analysis by reverse phase LC. Overall average recoveries (10-40 ppb range) for carbadox and desoxycarbadox from spiked tissues were 53% +/- 13.6 and 61% +/- 7.2, respectively; overall average recoveries for nitrofurazone and furazolidone were 43% +/- 7.3 and 77% +/- 10.9, respectively. Before these optimum determinations, degradation by even minimal incandescent light was found to reduce recovery especially of desoxycarbadox. The results of this photochemical degradation are reported and briefly discussed.     

Development of multiclass methods for drug residues in eggs: hydrophilic solid-phase extraction cleanup and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry analysis of tetracycline, fluoroquinolone, sulfonamide, and beta-lactam residues

A method was developed for detection of a variety of polar drug residues in eggs via liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) with electrospray ionization (ESI). A total of twenty-nine target analytes from four drug classes-sulfonamides, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and beta-lactams-were extracted from eggs using a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance polymer solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. The extraction technique was developed for use at a target concentration of 100 ng/mL (ppb), and it was applied to eggs containing incurred residues from dosed laying hens. The ESI source was tuned using a single, generic set of tuning parameters, and analytes were separated with a phenyl-bonded silica cartridge column using an LC gradient. In a related study, residues of beta-lactam drugs were not found by LC/MS/MS in eggs from hens dosed orally with beta-lactam drugs. LC/MS/MS performance was evaluated on two generations of ion trap mass spectrometers, and key operational parameters were identified for each instrument. The ion trap acquisition methods could be set up for screening (a single product ion) or confirmation (multiple product ions). The lower limit of detection for screening purposes was 10-50 ppb (sulfonamides), 10-20 ppb (fluoroquinolones), and 10-50 ppb (tetracyclines), depending on the drug, instrument, and acquisition method. Development of this method demonstrates the feasibility of generic SPE, LC, and MS conditions for multiclass LC/MS residue screening.     

Determination of flunixin in edible bovine tissues using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry

An accurate, reliable, and reproducible assay was developed and validated to determine flunixin in bovine liver, kidney, muscle, and fat. The overall recovery and percent coefficient of variation (%CV) of twenty-eight determinations in each tissue for flunixin free acid were 85.9% (5.9% CV) for liver, 94.6% (9.9% CV) for kidney, 87.4% (4.7% CV) for muscle, and 87.6% (4.4% CV) for fat. The theoretical limit of detection was 0.1 microg/kg (ppb, ng/g) for liver and kidney, and 0.2 ppb for muscle and fat. The theoretical limit of quantitation was 0.3, 0.2, 0.6, and 0.4 ppb for liver, kidney, muscle, and fat, respectively. The validated lower limit of quantitation was 1 ppb for edible tissues with the upper limit of 400 ppb for liver and kidney, 100 ppb for fat, and 40 ppb for muscle. Accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, ruggedness, and storage stability were demonstrated. Briefly, the method involves an initial acid hydrolysis, followed by pH adjustment ( approximately 9.5) and partitioning with ethyl acetate. A portion of the ethyl acetate extract was purified by solid-phase extraction using a strong cation exchange cartridge. The eluate was then evaporated to dryness, reconstituted, and analyzed using LC/MS/MS. The validated method is sensitive and specific for flunixin in edible bovine tissue.     

Determination of the predominant catechins in Acacia catechu by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry

A high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) method under selected ion monitoring mode (SIM) was developed to quantitate the predominant catechins, catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin-3-O-gallate, and epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, in the medicinal plant catechu (Acacia catechu). Other major secondary products including caffeine, flavanol dimers, and flavonol glycosides were also identified by their molecular ion peaks and fragmentation peaks using LC/MS and LC/MS/MS. For the investigated ion concentration ranges of catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin-3-O-gallate, and epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, good linearities (r2 > 0.99) were obtained for each calibration curve. Validation for this method showed an accuracy ranging from 1.06 to 11.76%, and the precision (relative standard deviation) varied between 1.60 and 9.36% for these four analytes. This is the first quantitative determination of all predominant catechins in catechu heartwood and leaves.     

Analysis of acrylamide,a carcinogen formed in heated foodstuffs

Reaction products (adducts) of acrylamide with N termini of hemoglobin (Hb) are regularly observed in persons without known exposure. The average Hb adduct level measured in Swedish adults is preliminarily estimated to correspond to a daily intake approaching 100 microg of acrylamide. Because this uptake rate could be associated with a considerable cancer risk, it was considered important to identify its origin. It was hypothesized that acrylamide was formed at elevated temperatures in cooking, which was indicated in earlier studies of rats fed fried animal feed. This paper reports the analysis of acrylamide formed during heating of different human foodstuffs. Acrylamide levels in foodstuffs were analyzed by an improved gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method after bromination of acrylamide and by a new method for measurement of the underivatized acrylamide by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), using the MS/MS mode. For both methods the reproducibility, given as coefficient of variation, was approximately 5%, and the recovery close to 100%. For the GC-MS method the achieved detection level of acrylamide was 5 microg/kg and for the LC-MS/MS method, 10 microg/kg. The analytic values obtained with the LC-MS/MS method were 0.99 (0.95-1.04; 95% confidence interval) of the GC-MS values. The LC-MS/MS method is simpler and preferable for most routine analyses. Taken together, the various analytic data should be considered as proof of the identity of acrylamide. Studies with laboratory-heated foods revealed a temperature dependence of acrylamide formation. Moderate levels of acrylamide (5-50 microg/kg) were measured in heated protein-rich foods and higher contents (150-4000 microg/kg) in carbohydrate-rich foods, such as potato, beetroot, and also certain heated commercial potato products and crispbread. Acrylamide could not be detected in unheated control or boiled foods (<5 microg/kg). Consumption habits indicate that the acrylamide levels in the studied heated foods could lead to a daily intake of a few tens of micrograms.     

Broiler Litter Composition as Affected by Water Extractant,Dilution Ratio,and Extraction Time

Laboratory methodologies characterizing a suite of water-extractable, elemental fractions of broiler litter (BL) are necessary to provide data representing field conditions once BL is land-applied and to address subsequent potential environmental mobility of litter constituents. This study evaluated the effects of water extractant (rainwater and deionized water), extractant/litter dilution ratio (10:1, 20:1, 30:1, and 40:1), and extraction time (5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, 360, 720, and 1440 min) on the chemical composition of BL. Water extractant did not affect water-soluble elements. Water-soluble elemental concentrations increased with increasing extraction times and either increased or were unaffected by increasing extractant/litter dilution ratio. Results based on achieving at least 70% of the maximum observed concentration suggest a minimum recommended extraction time of 30 min. However, extraction times exceeding 360 min indicated microbial immobilization of dissolved organic carbon. Therefore, an extraction time between 30 and 360 min is recommended.     

Liquid chromatographic determination of sulfamoyldapsone in swine tissues

A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for the quantitative determination of sulfamoyldapsone (2-sulfamoyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone) in swine muscle, liver, kidney, and fat. Sulfamoyldapsone was extracted from tissues with acetonitrile saturated with n-hexane. The extract was washed with n-hexane saturated with acetonitrile, concentrated, and cleaned up by alumina column chromatography. Sulfamoyldapsone was separated on an ODS column by using acetonitrile-methanol-water (6 + 18 + 76) and was detected at 292 nm. Overall average recovery of sulfamoyldapsone added to tissues at levels of 0.1 and 0.5 microgram/g was 93.3% +/- 6.0. Detection limit was 0.02 microgram/g in these tissues.     

Extraction and determination by gas chromatography of S,S,S-tri-n-butyl phosphorotrithioate (DEF) in fish and water

A simple, low-cost, fast method for the extraction and cleanup of DEF (S,S,S-tri-n-butyl phosphorotrithioate) from fish tissues and water samples was developed. The method combines extraction and cleanup in one step. The basis of the method is passing water samples or aqueous tissue homogenates containing DEF through a C-18 disposable cartridge. DEF is eluted from the cartridge by acetone or ethyl acetate. The eluates are analyzed by gas chromatography using a thermionic-specific detector. The method detects levels as low as 100 parts per trillion (ppt) in water samples; recovery efficiency from spiked fish tissues was greater than 95%. In addition, detectable levels of DEF were recovered from liver, brain, and muscle tissue of fish exposed to this compound. The method has a potential for use with other pesticides.     

Simultaneous detection of residues of 25 β₂-agonists and 23 β-blockers in animal foods by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap mass spectrometry

A sensitive method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of residues of 25 β?-agonists and 23 β-blockers in animal foods by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap mass spectrometry (HPLC-LIT-MS). This method is based on a new procedure of hydrolysis and extraction by 5% trichloracetic acid, and then cleaned up by mixed strong cation exchange (MCX) cartridges coupled with a novelty cleanup step by methanol. Methanol and 0.1% formic acid were used as mobile phases for gradient elution, while a Supelco Ascentis Express Rp-Amide column was used for LC separation. ESI positive ion scan mode was used with consecutive reaction monitoring (CRM, MS3). Nine β?-agonists labeled by the deuterium isotope were used as internal standards for quantification. The linear ranges of 48 analytes were from 5 to 200 μg/L; the coefficient of correlation was not less than 0.995. Blank pork muscle, blank liver, and blank kidney were selected as representative matrix for spiked standard recovery test. The recoveries of each compound were in the range of 46.6-118.9%, and the relative standard deviations were in the range of 1.9-28.2%. Decision limits (CCα, α = 0.01) of 48 analytes in muscles, liver, and kidney samples ranged from 0.05 to 0.49 μg/kg, and the detection capability (CCβ, β = 0.05) ranged from 0.13 to 1.64 μg/kg. This method was successfully applied to 110 real animal origin food samples including meat, liver, and kidney of pig and chicken samples.
