Chromatographic methods of analysis of antibiotics in milk

The widespread use of antibiotics in dairy cattle management may result in the presence of antibiotic residues in milk. While rapid screening tests are commonly used to detect the presence of antibiotics in milk, more accurate chromatographic methods are required by government regulatory agencies to identify and confirm the identity and quantity of antibiotic present. This paper reviews recent developments in the chromatographic determination of antibiotic residues in milk. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
