Determination of drug residues by CLAR-MS/MS in animal tissues

Description

Produced food of animal origin, present the possibility of occurrence of any contact with substances that have negative effects on the health of people who consume them. The use of drugs in veterinary medicine is one of the possible sources of such waste; so, the conditions for the analysis of some classes of antibiotics in animal tissues are based on the study. Costa Rica and the countries that are export destination, have regulation and programs for control before to be distributed in local markets, or post if it is received any complaint of pollution. The high resolution liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometers (CLAR-MS/MS) allows the analysis of analytes monitored, according to the specifications required by the legislation. The cases of two laboratories in Costa Rica are presented as the only ones who have the ability to perform the analysis of drug residues CLAR-MS/MS. (author)

Abstract (Spanish)

Los alimentos producidos de origen animal, presentan la posibilidad de que ocurra algun contacto con sustancias que tienen efectos negativos en la salud de las personas que los consumen. El uso de medicamentos en el campo veterinario es una de las posibles fuentes de dichos residuos; por lo tanto, las condiciones apropiadas para el analisis de algunas clases de antibioticos en tejidos animales son fundamentadas en el estudio. Costa Rica y los paises que son destino de exportacion, cuentan con reglamentacion y programas para control, antes de ser distribuidos en los mercados locales, o posteriori si se ha recibido alguna denuncia de contaminacion. La cromatografia liquida de alta resolucion acoplada a espectrometros de masas (CLAR-MS/MS) permite el analisis de los analitos monitoreados, segun las especificaciones requeridas por la legislacion. Los casos de dos laboratorios en Costa Rica se presentan como los unicos que tienen la capacidad para realizar el analisis de residuos de medicamentos por CLAR-MS/MS. (autor)
