Animal feeding stuffs - Determination of semduramicin content - Liquid chromatographic method using a "tree" analytical approach

This European standard specifies a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of the semduramicin content at authorized level in animal feeding stuffs [2], using mass spectrometry detection or post-column derivatization and (UV)-VIS detection (hereinafter UV detection). This method is applicable to poultry feed. The limit of quantitation is 1,0 mg/kg when mass spectrometry is used for detection and 3,0 mg/kg when the detection is performed by UV with post-column derivatization. Lower limits of quantitation are achievable but this is to be validated by the user. The method allows the discrimination of semduramicin from monensin, salinomycin, narasin, maduramicin and lasalocid.

Futtermittel - Bestimmung des Semduramicingehalts - Flüssigkeitschromatographisches Verfahren mit verzweigter analytischer Vorgehensweise

Die vorliegende Internationale Norm legt ein hochleistungsflüssigkeitschromatographisches (HPLC) Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Semduramicingehaltes bei einem zugelassenen Gehalt in Futtermitteln mittels massen-spektrometrischer Detektion oder Nachsäulenderivatisierung und UV Detektion fest. Das Verfahren gilt für Geflügelfutter. Bei der Anwendung von Massenspektrometrie zum Nachweis beträgt die Bestimmungsgrenze 1,0 mg  kg–1 und beim Nachweis mittels UV mit Nachsäulenderivatisierung 3,0 mg  kg 1. Niedrigere Bestimmungsgrenzen sind erreichbar, das ist jedoch vom Anwender zu validieren.
Das Verfahren ermöglicht es, Semduramicin von Monensin, Salinomycin, Narasin, Maduramicin und Lasalocid zu unterscheiden.

Aliments pour animaux - Dosage de la semduramicine - Chromatographie liquide utilisant une approche analytique en arbre

La présente Norme internationale décrit une méthode de dosage de la semduramicine au taux autorisé dans les aliments pour animaux, par chromatographie liquide haute performance (CLHP) avec détection par spectrométrie de masse ou dérivation post-colonne et détection UV. Cette méthode est applicable aux aliments pour volailles. La limite de quantification est de 1,0 mg kg-1 avec détection par spectrométrie de masse et de 3,0 mg kg-1 avec détection UV et dérivation post-colonne. Des limites de quantification inférieures peuvent être obtenues, à condition qu'elles soient validées par l'utilisateur.
La méthode permet de différencier la semduramicine du monensine, de la salinomycine, du narasine, de la maduramicine et du lasalocide.

Krma - Določevanje semduramicina - Metoda tekočinske kromatografije z "razvejanim" analitskim pristopom

Ta evropski standard določa metodo tekočinske kromatografije visoke ločljivosti (HPLC) za določevanje dovoljene vrednosti vsebnosti semduramicina v krmi [2] z masno spektrometrijo ali postkolonsko derivatizacijo in zaznavanjem (UV)-VIS (v nadaljnjem besedilu: zaznavanje UV). Ta metoda se uporablja za perutninsko krmo. Če se za zaznavanje uporablja masna spektrometrija, je meja kvantifikacije 1,0 mg/kg, če pa se zaznavanje izvaja z zaznavanjem UV s postkolonsko derivatizacijo, pa 3,0 mg/kg. Nižje meje kvantifikacije so dosegljive, vendar jih mora validirati uporabnik. Metoda omogoča razlikovanje semduramicina od monenzina, salinomicina, narazina, maduramicina in lasalocida.

Lower limits of quantitation are achievable but this is to be validated by the user. The method allows the discrimination of semduramicin from monensin, salinomycin, narasin, maduramicin and lasalocid. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this protocol. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. prEN ISO 6498, Animal feeding stuffs  Guidelines for sample preparation (ISO/DIS 6498) 3 Principle Semduramicin is extracted using acetonitrile with mechanical shaking during 30 min. The extracts are filtered through 0,2 µm Nylon filters. Semduramicin is determined by reverse-phase liquid chromatography using electrospray (ESI) single quadrupole mass spectrometry detection in single ion monitoring (SIM) mode (LC-MS) [4] or using post-column derivatization with dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DMAB) and spectrophotometric detection at 598 nm (LC-PCD-UV) [5]. If the detection used is ESI-MS the quantitation is performed through a standard addition approach. When LC-PCD-UV is used the quantitation is performed through external standard calibration.

EN 16158:2012 (E) 9 7.2 Laboratory sample Grind the laboratory sample (usually 50 g) so that it passes completely through a sieve with 1 mm apertures. Mix thoroughly.
7.3 Test sample The test sample consists of a representative and homogenised aliquot of the ground laboratory sample of at least 20 g. 7.4 Test portion Accurately weigh 5,0 g ± 0,1 g of the thoroughly mixed test sample into a 50 ml polypropylene stoppered tube (Falcon® tube or equivalent). Note down the mass expressed in mg (Wtp). Submit it to the analysis procedure (8). 8 Procedure 8.1 Preparation of positive and negative control samples The use of quality control samples and quality control charts is recommended. With each set of samples, include a positive control sample (PCS) and a negative control sample (NCS) on a daily basis. For the PCS, weigh 5,0 g ± 0,1 g of a poultry blank feed. Accurately pipette, with an appropriate automatic pipette (5.6), 130 µl of the semduramicin stock standard solution (4.5.1) and add to the poultry blank. Mix thoroughly to ensure maximum contact with the feed. Allow penetration for at least 1 hour before extraction. The NCS is constituted by 5,0 g ± 0,1 g of non-spiked poultry blank feed. Both PCS and NCS will be submitted to the same treatment as unknown samples. 8.2 Samples extraction
Accurately weigh 5,0 g ± 0,1 g test portion into a polypropylene centrifuge tube (5.9). Add 15 ml acetonitrile (4.1.2), close tightly the polypropylene centrifuge tube (5.9) and check that there is no solvent leak through the cap. Shake vigorously to ensure appropriate suspension of the feed into the extraction solvent. Perform a solid-liquid extraction by shaking the mixture for 30 min on the shaker (5.4). 8.3 Filtration Filter the supernatants (8.2) through a 0,2 µm Nylon syringe filter (5.14) into a clean polypropylene tube (5.9).
8.4 HPLC analysis 8.4.1 LC-MS 8.4.1.1 Dilution
Accurately pipette with an appropriate automatic pipette (5.6), 75 µl of the filtered extract (8.3) into a 10 ml volumetric flask (5.7) Make up to 10 ml volume with acetonitrile (4.1.2).
8.4.1.2 Standard additions
Accurately pipette with an appropriate automatic pipette (5.6), four 900 µl aliquots of the diluted extract (8.4.1.1) into 1,5 ml glass vials (5.3) and label as S0, S1, S2 and S3 respectively. SIST EN 16158:2012



EN 16158:2012 (E) 10 Accurately pipette with an appropriate automatic pipette (5.6), 25 µl of the nigericin sodium spiking solution (4.5.6) and add to each of the vials labelled as S0, S1, S2 and S3 respectively. Accurately pipette with an appropriate automatic pipette (5.6), 0 µl, 15 µl, 45 µl and 75 µl of the semduramicin spiking solution (4.5.5) and add to the vials labelled as S0, S1, S2 and S3 respectively.
Accurately pipette with an appropriate automatic pipette (5.6), 75 µl, 60 µl, 30 µl and 0 µl of acetonitrile (4.1.2) and add to the vials labelled as S0, S1, S2 and S3 respectively.
Cap all vials and shake vigorously.
NOTE When using highly sensitive mass spectrometers an appropriate further dilution of all the solutions (e.g. 1:10) from the vials labelled as S0, S1, S2 and S3 is recommended in order to prevent source saturation. 8.4.1.3 Analytical conditions a) HPLC separation parameters:
1) column: as in (5.1.5); 2) guard column: as in (5.1.6); 3) mobile phase: as in (4.1.5.2)
4) flow rate: 0,25 ml/min; 5) injection volume: 10 µl; 6) injection mode: full loop; 7) column temperature: 25 °C; 8) autosampler temperature: 4 °C. In these conditions the retention times are approximately 4,0 min and 7,0 min for semduramicin and nigericin respectively. The total run time is 15 min. NOTE 1 If longer retention times are observed, increase appropriately the total run time.
b) MS parameters 1) ionisation mode: ESI+ ; 2) acquisition mode: single ion monitoring (SIM); 3) probe temperature: 250 °C; 4) cone voltage: 60 V; 5) needle voltage: 2,7 kV; 6) ammonium adducts (used for identification and for quantification): i) semduramicin m/z > 890,5; ii) nigericin (I.S.) m/z > 742,5; NOTE 2 All conditions mentioned were optimised for the LC-MS used at EC-JRC-IRMM for the optimisation and validation of this protocol being therefore only indicative values and have to be optimised for the used equipment. SIST EN 16158:2012



EN 16158:2012 (E) 11 7) sodium adducts (used only for identification): i) semduramicin m/z > 895,5; ii) nigericin (I.S.) m/z > 747,5;
8) mass span: ± 0,25; 9) dwell time: 0,50 s. NOTE 3 The quantification is based on the signal of the correspondent ammonium adducts of the molecular ions. If a MS/MS instrumentation is used, it shall be used in MS configuration. NOTE 4 Optimize the instrumental parameters in order to have a similar absolute signal of the semduramicin and nigericin ammonium adducts in a solution containing both substances at the same concentration level, e.g. prepare a sample containing 25 µl solution (4.5.5) + 25 µl solution (4.5.6) + 950 µl acetonitrile and check that in the optimized conditions the obtained absolute signal for the respective ammonium adducts are of the same order of magnitude. NOTE 5 After a maximum of 50 injections a cleaning step is strongly recommended. This cleaning step involves flushing the column with pure methanol (4.1.3) at 0,25 ml/min during 30 min followed by re-conditioning of the column with an acetonitrile (4.1.2) injection with the mobile phase (4.1.5.2) used for the analysis for the HPLC column. It is advised to include the cleaning step always after the full standard addition of one sample. 8.4.2 LC-PCD-UV 8.4.2.1 System set up Start up the system as follows. Switch on the oven of the post column derivatization system. Turn on the HPLC pump with a low flow (e.g. 0,1 ml/min) before starting the post-column reagent flow to prevent back flow of reagent into the analytical column. Start then the post-column reagent flow with a low flow (e.g. 0,1 ml/min). Slowly increase alternatively the two flows until reaching 0,7 ml/min and 0,9 ml/min respectively for the HPLC flow and the post-column reagent flow. Wait until the temperature is stabilized at 92 °C. 8.4.2.2 External calibration curve 8.4.2.2.1 General Accurately pipette with an appropriate automatic pipette (5.6), one aliquot of the filtered extract (8.3) into
1,5 ml glass vials (5.3) and label it as S0. Cap the vial and shake vigorously.

NOTE During the series of measurements, the post column reaction reagent (4.2.4.1) shall be kept cool and protected from the light by means of ice blocks or in an ice bath. Using the analytical column (5.2.7) guard column (5.2.8) combination, with the above conditions, the retention time for semduramicin is approximately 10 min. The total run is set at e.g. 25 min to allow the elution of all the other coccidiostats, if present.
