Study on the determination of sulfaquinoxaline in feed by high performance liquid chromatography
Sulfaquinoxaline belongs to the class of sulfonamide antibiotics and has anticoccidial effects. It is widely used in the poultry industry. It is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, but it is slowly excreted, and it remains in tissues and eggs for a long time. Side effects such as medicinal properties. The World Health Organization (WHO) stipulates that the maximum residue limit (MRL) of animal tissues and milk is 100 μg / kg. Japan and other countries stipulate that broilers cannot be detected. Therefore, the use of this medicine should strictly control the medication period and dosage to ensure product safety and smooth foreign trade.
According to the British Veterinary Pharmacopoeia, the pure sulfaquinoxaline is a yellow powder, almost odorless, insoluble in water, soluble in methanol and ethanol, and easily soluble in alkaline solutions. At present, the detection method of sulfaquinoxaline in feed is the AOAC standard of the United States, which uses spectrophotometry, which requires two different determination methods for feeds containing and without assanic acid. However, the current domestic feed composition is more complicated, and the tester is unknown about the feed situation. It is difficult to determine which method to use; and this method requires a diazotization reagent to perform the coupling reaction, which is highly toxic and will cause operators and the environment harm. Therefore, we have not adopted this method. In addition, there are reports in the literature that the determination by gas chromatography still requires diazotization. We ultimately chose high-performance liquid chromatography.

The mass of sulfaquinoxaline in each kilogram of sample is calculated according to the following formula:
m1
x = — × D
m
x——the mass of sulfaquinoxaline in each kilogram of sample (mg);
m1——the mass of sulfaquinoxaline corresponding to the peak area of ​​the chromatogram (μg);
D-dilution factor;
m——the weight of the sample (g).
The results of the parallel determination are expressed as an arithmetic mean value and are retained to one decimal place.
2. Results and discussion
2. 1 Determination of chromatographic conditions
Most sulfonamides usually use phosphoric acid / acetonitrile system as the mobile phase, and the peak time of sulfaquinoxaline under this system is 56min, which affects the detection efficiency. Switch to phosphate / methanol system as mobile phase.
By changing the ratio of phosphate to methanol, the retention time of sulfaquinoxaline changed.
Phosphate: retention time of sulfaquinoxaline (min)
70: 30 4.86
75: 25 7.80
80: 20 12.32
The peak sulfaquinoxaline and the impurity peak interfere with each other when the peak appears, and the peak detection affects the detection efficiency and the peak shape becomes wider. A phosphate to methanol ratio of 75:25 is more suitable.
2.2 Method linearity and minimum detection limit
For the added concentrations of 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, and 100.0 mg / kg, the above method was used.
Add concentration (mg / kg) 5.0 10.0 20.0 100.0
Peak area 35906 71684 122536 771414
The linear equation is: y = 7821.8 ～ 13601.6
The correlation coefficient is: r = 0.9992
The minimum detection concentration of the method is 5.0mg / kg. The dosage of sulfaquinoxaline compound chicken feed is 60g / t, which can detect concentrations less than 10 times the dosage, which can meet the testing needs.
2.3 The accuracy and precision of the method
According to the permissible usage of sulfaquinoxaline in compound feed is 60 mg / kg, take the compound feed to make 5, 60, 100 mg / kg sulfaquinoxaline added samples, each concentration is done in 5 parallel, extract Measure on the machine, calculate the recovery rate and method coefficient of variation.

60 55.6 92.6 2.1
100 95.2 95.2 4.6
2.4 Scope of application

Coefficient of variation of recovery rate of measured value of added amount
(mg / kg) (mg / kg) (%) (n = 5)
Additive premix feed 200 190.2 95.1 5.4
Additive premix feed 1500 1480.6 98.7 2.1
