Methods for the analysis of polyether antibiotics in animal tissues and fluids are described. For monensin and nigericin, only methods based on bioautography are available. For lasalocid, in addition to TLC bioautography for quantitation in chicken skin and fat, LC methods based on fluorescence detection have been developed for quantitation in animal blood, milk, liver, skin, and fat. In addition, a confirmatory method for lasalocid is described; this is based on purification by LC followed by silylation and pyrolysis gas chromatography-positive chemical ionization mass spectrometry. |
