An UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the quantitative confirmatory analysis of residues of nitroimidazole drugs (dimetridazole, ipronidazole, metronidazole, ornidazole and ronidazole) and their corresponding hydroxy metabolites (HMMNI, ipronidazile-OH and metronidazole-OH) in aquaculture tissue. Samples were extracted by shaking in acetonitrile, water, MgSO4 and NaCl before being defatted with n-hexane pre-saturated with acetonitrile and concentrated under nitrogen. Nitroimidazole residues were determined by UHPLC-MS/MS operating in positive electrospray ionisation mode using a reversed phase BEH C18 column. The method was validated according to the EU Commission Decision 2002/657/EC guidelines. The following performance studies were carried out: specificity, selectivity, linearity, within laboratory repeatability (WLr)/reproducibility (WLR), accuracy, precision, decision limit (CCα), detection capability (CCβ), absolute recovery and stability. The analytical range of the method is 0.1-20 μg kg(-1). Accuracy and precision of the method, under within-laboratory reproducibility conditions, ranged from 83 to 105% and 2.3 to 14.0%, respectively. CCα were 0.07-1.0 μg kg(-1) depending on analyte and matrix. A total of 50 samples can be analysed in a single day using the assay. The method has been extensively evaluated through application to real test samples.Copyright © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
