Development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the determination of maduramicin in broiler chicken tissues.

摘要

Maduramicin is one of the most widely used coccidiostats in the world. A rapid and accurate analytical method for this drug should provide producers and users with an effective management tool. The current chromatographic methods are sensitive but labor-intensive. This paper reports the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on an immunoaffinity chromatography cleanup procedure for the analysis of maduramicin in broiler chicken tissues (including muscle, liver, and fat). Recoveries from fortified tissue homogenates at levels of 30.0-120.0 microg kg(-)(1) ranged from 76.4 to 107.5% with coefficients of variation of 3.8-16.4%. The limits of detection were 1.0 ng g(-)(1) in muscle, 2.8 ng g(-)(1) in liver, and 1.5 ng g(-)(1) in fat. The ELISA results from the analysis of incurred residue in tissue samples showed the cleanup procedure is viable.
